COMMENCE VOYAGE

Fun Fact: Did you know the Atlantic Ocean has a surface area of 41.1 million square miles? No reason.

...

There's something uneasy in the air as you come to.

Well, "come to" is an interesting word in this case. It implies waking up, which is not exactly what happens. None of you are in beds, nor are you really asleep in the traditional sense. One moment you're somewhere else, doing something else with your time, and the next? You're somewhere on board a massive cruise ship - maybe lounging on a deck chair by the pool, maybe getting some Gains in the exercise room, maybe enjoying the tasteful décor in the buffet - and you have no idea how you got here or how you might get back. This is not your beautiful house. If you have a beautiful wife, she isn't here.

What you do have, apart from 25 other unlucky souls, is a small smartphone-like device in your pocket with only a handful of things on it: a clock reading 11PM, a pdf of a ticket in your name on a special Atlantic Liners New Year's Eve Cruise, an app labeled Passenger Profiles with some basic information on your traveling companions, and a message:

Welcome aboard, passenger! Please feel free to partake of any of the facilities while you wait for the big event! Remember: when midnight comes, you better make your way to the theatre at the back of Level 1 for the main event! The Captain and the First Mate will be there to take care of you all personally, and to help you ring in the new year in style!

Well, that's a start. But what you do until then, it seems, is up to you!

[ Alice doesn't seem to notice as Magica talks to herself, scrolling through her own list of profiles and drinking at her virgin margarita. It's not until a little bit after she exclaims a bit at her profile that the half-elf picks her head up from the device with the blankest look on her face. ]

Sorry, did you say something? I wasn't paying attention.

[ Honesty! ]

Well, I wasn't talking to you, so. But, ugh, since we're here... how insulting would you say your writeup is, on a sort of one to ten scale?

live free, die hard?

[ She was going to start ignoring Magica again the second she said that she wasn't talking to her, but the topic of insulting profiles luckily keeps her entertained. ]

I'd say probably around a six on a scale of one to ten. [ She pulls up her list to refer to, pointing to the question mark by her name. ] The rest of it is completely true, but the question mark is insulting.

[ i hate Tales ages so fucking much. ]

Why, how bad is yours?

I am not a party magician.

[ ... ]

Anymore. I suppose technically I haven't turned in my resignation yet on account of the interdimensional kidnapping.
