WEEK 1
Happy New Year! ... You're still here. Looks like The Captain wasn't lying when he said the murdering is now up to you. That, or you can all live here on your own. Regardless, it's time to settle in. The days start passing much less eventfully after that first one, and, well... on it goes, huh?
There might not be a whole cruise ship to explore just yet, but there are a variety of amenities available to all of you! Who ever heard of a boring cruise ship, anyway? As the week goes on, you might even start to see some of those strange coins appear for you!
Better buckle down and get to know your fellow passengers, though, if you want to stand a chance of weathering this storm.

MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
FRIDAY | SATURDAY
[ ooc: Welcome to peace week! Feel free to mingle (and investigate, if you like) to your hearts' content! Please ensure all investigation toplevels are marked accordingly, and otherwise enjoy! If you wish to talk to The Captain or Davy Jones, look here for the former and here for the latter! ]

mingling (wallflower edition)
Apparently, she's been wallflowering too much, hi there Yeager. Plumeria's face briefly contorts a bit before she tries to get herself under control. ...And take that mocktail, thank you very much.]
Hardly. Just because I'm not fraternizing among the masses doesn't mean I'm not enjoying myself.
[She's just gonna take a sip of that mocktail, don't mind her. Plumeria doesn't really know how she feels about this, but--]
...It's certainly different than the banquets that Lady Freyja has hosted before, but there is still something mildly enjoyable about it. [Even if it's filled with disgusting humans, ugh.] I'm surprised you're not mingling among the more sociable of them.
no subject
Ja, I can imagine those would have been vastly different from this! But then, I've heard that it wasn't often humans found their way to your realms.
[He's spoken quite a bit with Freyja; your realms are so weird, he's never going to stop being fascinated by them.]
I've mingled with them plenty! Sometimes it's nice to take a break and spend time with those who aren't really the partying sort!
[You do not seem like the partying sort, Plumeria.]
no subject
[Hrmph. Plumeria almost looks like she's sulking a bit at that second statement--when even one of the more annoying humans among them can tell she's having a rough one of it, she knows it's bad, and she tries to straighten up a bit.]
I'm perfectly capable of being a "partying sort" if I wish! The circumstances are simply different than what I'm used to. That's all. Usually I'm the one trying to get Triandra out to mingle...
[Still, Plumeria's look goes out to the partygoers and everything going on at once, really.]
...Not that I'm opposed to the company, I guess. Still, I am at least pleased that this is going so smoothly; I wouldn't want something Lady Freyja invested so much time in to be a waste.
no subject
[It's kind of hard to tell with her, though...]
no subject
I'm certain that she is. She does like hosting parties like these, after all.
[She's. She's just naturally hard to get a read on, don't worry. Still, Plumeria's expression does ease a touch.]
Truly, I'm a bit surprised at just how Sylvando performed--I saw him practicing on the deck, but...I can't say that I was expecting a lot of that. It was honestly exciting to watch?
no subject
no subject
[...Man, you can practically tell she's enthusiastic after all of that; a smile creeps onto her face after saying that much as she goes to take another drink. This is clearly going better than expected.]
no subject
Right! I've met some fairly talented performers who can handle two, maybe three of those, but all of them? That goes far beyond triple threat!
[okay most of the people he knows use these skills for combat but listen]
no subject
It truly does. All of this would make him a quadruple threat, wouldn't it? But I imagine it's far more than simply that.
[...And good on you for not bringing that up, Yeager, Plumeria eases just. Very slightly after that much, looking back out towards the party with that same smile.]
...It really is so nice to see them at peace, though. I certainly hope that this show of unity will keep anyone from acting for a little while, at least.
[She's not naive enough to think that this'll stop them for good, but...they at least have this much.]
no subject
I'm honestly a bit surprised. I expected at least half our number to simply refuse to show up. Either out of fear or a general distaste for such a events... or even having no goodwill whatsoever toward the rest of us.
[It would've been easy for this to turn into something disappointing and worrying, in other words.]
I suppose it does help that Filbo's involved, though! Between the three of them, I imagine most people had a hard time saying no.
[Filbo and Sylvando are aggressively cheerful and helpful and Freyja is more chill about it, but still a rather calming presence.]
no subject
Yes, I imagine that does help. They've been nothing but kind to the others, I'm sure, which certainly added points in their favor.
[...]
It's...really amazing how such kindness can reach others. This party seems to be proof of that much.
[And yet, even saying that feels a little strange. Hmm, Bad.]
no subject
It is a little odd, isn't it? This situation is a little unique, certainly, but there's some truth to that anywhere, I'd think.
[That kindness can reach people easily, that there's certainly a lot of power in it.]
no subject
Is that the truth, though? Maybe in DΓΆkkΓ‘lfheimr, but with these humans, is there any truth in that? The answer feels obvious, just from what she's seen, and yet...
But in the end, they're mortals. [...] They're unpredictable, and you well know their tendencies toward cruelty; it's merely a matter of time before one acts, and I fear that once it starts it won't stop until everyone here has perished.
Something sour comes upon Plumeria's face as Lady Freyja's words echo in her mind, and she glances away from the crowd once it sinks in.]
...Anywhere is a bit of a stretch, especially with humans taken into consideration. It's likely just this situation getting to my head.
[Plumeria's getting far too insipid.]
Just forget I said anything.
no subject
At the very least tonight certainly has been enjoyable! It's nice to see everyone come together; I'll certainly have to thank Freyja and Filbo both!
no subject
I'm sure they'd both be thankful if you did. Besides, that is the polite thing to do for your hosts.
[And like, come on, Filbo will probably be sad if you don't. Do you want to make Filbo sad???]
no subject
Believe it or not, I do try to be polite! They went to all this effort for us, so I'll be sure to thank them both~
no subject
[That's a little easier to say, but it is clear that she's joking. At least slightly. But she does seem to be in a better mood, at least.]
no subject
[So naturally, that's going to get a proper bow from him!!]
no subject
[Ugh, why are you like this, Yeager. It's almost amusing, you dumb jerk. Either way, Plumeria goes to take another drink of her drink, before realizing it's gone and starting to leave.]
...I may as well try mingling with the others at the party, now. Do try to enjoy yourself.
[And she'll be off!!]
