Cruising Through Trouble

At the stroke of midnight on the first day of July, just as it had begun.... The rains have stopped. The fog has cleared. The forced nightmares, the aches and pains, the paranoia, and the pressure that sat like a weight in your lungs and chest have all... ceased.

For a moment, the whole of Iyashikei seems to hold its breath, waiting to see if something is going to follow, if there is somehow yet another shoe waiting to drop... but... no. No, there is nothing that follows. The sky becomes clear. Rainbows streak across the sky every day. Heat rolls in with the summer season, helping dry up at least some of the water.

Iyahsikei is a flooded mess, from the Outer Rim to the Main Hub. Animals have escaped their pens, felled trees and leaves are blocking already burdened sewer drains. Those who went to the schools for shelter still need care. While restaurants and hotels are happily taking in anyone to feed for free or in need of a hot shower or bath, all of Iyashikei is here to help while everyone is getting back on their feet, but it doesn't change that serious damage has been done. Some people are falling asleep where they stand, finall free of the nightmares.

Now, more than ever, it's time to practice helping others. There will be teams created to do various jobs:

Debris Clean-Up Team: Exactly what it says, wearing safety vests and hard hats, you will go around where you can, where the flooding isn't too high, and collect trash, branches, pick up fallen items, and cleaning up anywhere and however you can.

Care and Comfort Team: There are hungry, tired, and injured people. They need food or medical attention, or maybe just a nice warm hug. So you will be tasked with doing just that, helping hand out or make food, or giving medical care (magical or scientific).

Search and Rescue Teams: The teams will be divided into two smaller teams. The Scouting Team, those who can look over large areas or detect lifeforms inside buildings and locations. The second team is the Rescue Team. After all, there are still residents and pets that are missing. The Rescue Team will go out where the waters are highest from scouting intel, and get any beings trapped in their homes or animals that have wandered too far from home to safer locations. It should be noted: The Council will only allow those who are physically or magically capable to be on the Rescue Team.

But even with all the effort everyone is putting in, it doesn't seem to be making a dent in the problem, and people are just exhausted after such a horrendous month.

The Council has no idea why the rainy season was as bad as it was. Not only does there need to be an investigation, but there needs to be a much more thorough clean-up, reconstruction of various homes, sewers, and buildings, and most of all, they need to make sure nothing like that happens again! To do THAT, they need to get everyone somewhere safe, somewhere people can relax and recuperate, and out of the way of all the magic and science about to happen.

Which is why all of Iyashikei is going to be evacuated. No exceptions, no excuses.

Of course, even evacuation is a bit different in Iyashikei. You and all of the Iyashikei denizens are being put on a luxury cruise liner to get to your destination.

No, you don't have a choice, even as a new arrival. Paperwork will have to wait, new arrival! Everyone will be ushered out of the city and the Farmlands. As you head towards the elevated docks on the edge of the Main Hub, you may start seeing some brooms with arms walking around Iyashikei with buckets, dustpans, and other clean-up and construction supplies. The especially keen may hear distant music coming from City Hall. The brooms can enter all the flooded areas without any issue, carrying out whatever task is asked of them.

As for the luxury cruise liner? After a quick safety drill about life jackets and muster stations, you can start enjoying a three-day cruise across calm waters!

There are all-you-can-eat buffets, fine dining for breakfast, lunch and dinner, trivia games, BINGO with prizes, dancing at the discos (or panicking, if you prefer), karaoke nights, line-dancing, pools to lounge in or by, spas where you can get massages or mud baths, or maybe you want to sit inside at a jazz bar and watch the water go by the windows while Iyashikei becomes smaller and smaller on the horizon. Those who may need medical attention will be attended to by the cruise ship's medical team.

There's just... one thing.

You see, with the need to get everyone safely out of the city, everyone is going to need to have a cabin-mate! The cruise ship IS huge, but so is Iyashikei's population. No private rooms here. You will be assigned a cabin and a random cabin-mate. Only married couples or those with a dependent get to share the same cabin. It's sure to be okay. Besides, it's only three days! Who can't get along for three days!? If there's REALLY an issue, you can always go to the guest services desk and they will re-room you with someone else.

Rites of Fire

Just where is the cruise ship taking you, anyway?

The ship will dock at a beautiful and lush volcanic tropical island. If you've ever wondered where the majority of the tropical fruit, chilis, and more exotic foods come from, then here is your answer. The air is warm, the sun is shining bright, and you will be shown to a cabin out on the water (all of them have modern plumbing) where you will be staying until the Council can figure out what is going on back in the Main Hub and Outer Rim. This time, there ARE private cabins for those in need of them, but you CAN expect roommates... again. At least this time you get to pick your roommate!

Welcome to Kai Island!

Home to a volcano goddess and her people. She heard of the storm that hit Iyashikei, and in the spirit of hospitality and helping, she has opened up her island for everyone to restore their health and revitalize their spirit.

Kai Island follows the same rules and ideas as Iyashikei does; people are here to help one another. You will be asked to do the same if you are able. You may be asked to help clean up the beaches and reefs, help out at local stores or the island hospital, especially with such a GIANT population burst coming in, helping with the local wildlife, or helping gather fruit and other tropical crops for the masses, or cooking them for the nightly Fire Rites!

But the locals also want you to relax and rejuvenate, especially after such a harrowing time you've endured.

There are all sorts of activities for you to try out. For the more adventurous, there is: kayaking, canoeing, hiking trails among all the flora to hidden waterfalls, snorkeling, surfing along the waves, horseback riding, tubing along rivers and in lagoons, exploring hidden caves along the shores, and ziplining among the trees. Just like in Iyashikei's forest and desert, Rangers are there to help guide, rescue, or educate those who might need it.

For those seeking more relaxation, there always seems to be a hammock somewhere nearby on the beach; you can grab a fruity drink to help beat the heat, partake in some yoga and meditation by the waves, enjoy the cafes and restaurants, or you can visit the community center to learn about the Kaian people and their goddess.

New arrivals will arrive in the temporary Welcome Chamber... er... Cave. There's still the Welcome Committee there to greet you, but you won't be able to fill out paperwork to return home until the ship takes all of you back to the actual Main Hub. There is no Council member you can talk to right now, either. They're all dealing with, well, everything going on in the Main Hub and Outer Rim. But do not fear! You are under the volcano goddess's protection while you are here as her guests.

Although that DOES mean you will be expected, just as the Kaian people are, to honor the volcano goddess for the bounty she provides to this island.

How, you may ask?

The volcano goddess loves a good show! After the sun sets, you will see all the locals head towards the beaches to gather in groups around bonfires and hold their nightly Fire Rites! There's lots of food served at these, so you're welcome to bring a dish to share or to sample something you've never tried before. Careful, this food tends towards spicy and flavorful.

The Fire Rites take all shapes and forms, however, the most common type of performance is people who dance with fire in some form or fashion. They twirl it, play with it, and dance with it. However, if you're worried about being singed, don't worry, it isn't just physical fire, there is the fire in the soul as well! Be it a poem of your own making, a song, a dance, a staged duel, or any sort of performance to show the fiery passion in your heart, will be more than enough for the volcano goddess to be appeased. And you will be expected to perform at some point during your stay.

The longer you hold off on performing, you will start to notice a tattoo forming on your palms, starting as an ember, and after every missed chance to perform, the ember grows into a flame, then it grows from your palms onto your hands. Another missed performance? And the fiery tattoo will crawl up your arms. The brighter and bigger the fire tattoo, the more and more compelled you will feel to perform until you give in to the Fire Rites.

Of course, if you need help, the Kaian locals are happy to give you a Starborn fruit. The Starborn fruit looks identical in almost every way to a Star fruit except that, at night, it glows. Should you bite into a Starborn Fruit, you will find that you begin singing about every strong emotion you feel, and nothing can stop you until the song is done or the feeling passes. Also, they're all over the island. Don't worry, the effects of a Starborn fruit are only for 24 hours unless you eat it every day.

Down Where It's Wetter

As your stay on Kai Island continues, more often than not, when you look out into the water, you may notice some very... VERY large fish tails breaching and then dipping back into the waves. Maybe during the day, you notice some people way out past the surf just bobbing along in the water.

Or maybe you're just a very forthright person and ask a Kaian local about it, and what is going on.

As it happens, there is a cenote on the island with a crystal clear pool inside it. Getting there is not exactly easy, but it's possible to get there after a few hours. You will need to go on quite a hike into the center of the island, past waterfalls and along steep stairs. Getting there by yourself is impossible, so a local will need to guide you. There's no reason to try and be sneaky about it, though; the Kaian are happy to share this aspect of their culture. So long as you're respectful to the cenote, the Kaian's will take anyone who wants to go. Once you get there, if you completely douse yourself in the water, then you'll get to enjoy a rather amazing bit of magic.

The water gathered there in that cenote will turn you into a merperson!

Now, after completely dousing yourself from head to toe, any time your feet are completely submerged in water up to your ankles, you will transform. The downside to the transformation is that you will end up with either one or all three side effects: having a tendency to hoard something, a love for singing out loud whenever the mood strikes you, or a sudden disinterest in other people's personal space by grabbing, holding onto, or hugging whomever is nearby.

The magic of the water will last for as long as you live on the island. If you're thinking you'll just swim back to Iyashikei, the magic fades away after five miles out from the island's coast.

Those Re-Quests to clean up the sea floor suddenly make a LOT more sense.

A Kindly Curious Question

There are several little beeps, or depending on whether you've begun customizing it, maybe a little song instead starts to play on your Glimmer. A little envelope notification appears and does a little wiggle. Should you open this, a cute little message appears:


Hello hello Iyashikei!

This is the monthly Kindness Curious Question (K.C.Q.)! What are your FAVORITE ways to relax? Answer honestly to get your sticker!

Answer honestly on the Glimmer and you'll get your K.C.Q. Digital Sticker! It will immediately go into your K.C.Q. digital sticker album folder on your Glimmer.

What's the point, you might ask? Well, when you open that sticker and press on it, the little sticker will prevent you from getting sunburnt!

Hollyberry Cookie | Cookie Run Kingdom | Current Player, Current Character

[celebrateourvictory]

Workin' 9 to 5

[ There's rarely a moment's rest for Hollyberry Cookie, if she can help it! That's why she can be found everywhere and anyone to help others out, trying to use her small size to her advantage!

Cleaning up debris? She's there, getting into nooks and crannies to flush them out.
Care and Comfort? Let Granny distract you with stories and pet your head!
Search and Rescue? With her size, she can fit into places others can't to see who needs to be found.

Of course, doing all this is bound to wear her out... but she won't hear of taking a break, even if you think she should! ]

Sailing For Adventure

[ But what's this? Everyone is being told to go on a relaxing cruise? Why, that sounds awfully nice...

... Except Hollyberry is being really stubborn about this. She's attached herself to the leg of one of the attendants that's ushering people to the ship, and... ]

How can you ask me to go when there's still so much to do? Absolutely not! I know there's still more I can help with! At least listen to me! You need me here - I need me here!

We've Got Cabin Fever

[ Well, one way or another, she's on the ship.

Day one, she spends pretty pouty, having her dough curdled about her help being rejected. If you're her randomly assigned roomie, you can see her sulking inside the room, right at the window.

But by day two, she's back in her high spirits, and can be found indulging in all the fun activities! Let's dance! Let's drink! Let's play! Let's drink more! Let's sing! Let's get even more drinks!

She will be avoiding the pool, however. Can't risk herself getting soggy. But maybe you can save her if it looks like she's going to fall in...? ]

Under The Sea

[ In fact, it's because Cookies shouldn't go near the water that her curiosity gets piqued about the fishy fins. When she can't resist the allure of rumors anymore, she heads off to find out what's going on...

And eventually, she's in the water! And here she thought the legends of the Cookie Gem Mermaids were merely fairy tales... and now, here she is, one them! What a delight! In fact, it makes her so happy that she's going to latch onto the nearest person! ]

Hahahaha~! Have you ever seen anything so delightful? This world is so full of wonders! I only wish my beloved companions could share this time with me!

Wildcard
[ Make your own prompt! Feel free to plot with me at melcat33 for both plurk/discord ]

sailing for adventure

[stolasofthearsgoetia]

「Stolas isn't exactly pleased (well, nor is he displeased) about being ushered onto a cruise ship himself when he passes.

A possessed cookie.

Well, he's seen stranger things in hell. And this might be the most kindred thing he meets during his stay. Sure, he'll help. He kneels down beside the little cookie person.」

We're all being put onto the cruise ship, little one.

Cabin Fever

[goetic_bolide]

Octavia had never been on a cruise before and was unaware of what they entailed, as there weren't exactly luxury liners in Hell. However, it was a welcome change after the previous month. She had been in so much pain and felt completely alone and abandoned after Blitzo and Loona had left her.

At the same time, she wasn't fond of crowds, especially large gatherings of primarily humans. So, on the first day of the cruise, she locked herself in the cabin assigned to her, even going so far as to order room service instead of venturing out to the buffets. Hearing the door open she looked, letting out a sigh of relief to see a familiar face.

"Oh hey, guess we're sharing a room."

bote

[weedeater]

[ Ryo isn't great at boats but at least they've got convenient supplies of dramamine here too.

So she's a little pouty still while Hollyberry is having a blast, but not ready to hurl or curl up into a ball wishing for death or anything. ]

You've recovered quickly.

[ ...and yes she did see the little fit the cookie threw about being dragged away. ]

Sailing for Adventure

[mist_the_point]

[Foulques was making his way unenthusiastically to the ship, when he heard a familiar voice. He gave a half-annoyed, half-amused huff.]

Hmph... And here I thought that elders were supposed to conduct themselves with dignity.

Sail away!

[prettypunchy]

[Meanwhile, one energetic cookie arrives, waving happily.]

Grand-mama!

[It felt right!]

Why are you desperately latching on the person’s leg? You might get stuck. Are you afraid of the water maybe? [As most cookies should be. But not Princess Cookie. In fact, she’s rolling her own mini luggage to join the cruise ship.]

Laurie DeWitt 👻 OC (new player/character)

[notpassedon]

[ OOC: please note that as a ghost, Laurie's prompts contain reference to death. I will avoid going into any graphic detail without warning. ]

01. I see you, here in the darkness

[ Restoration efforts are in full swing across Iyashikei. Laurie was only tangentially present for the rainfall, but even if she hadn't been asked to help in the aftermath, she would have wanted to, anyway. It's just nice to feel useful for once.

Being semi-tangible puts her in a perfect position to assist with the search and rescue efforts by joining the Scout Team. She can easily position herself on the rooftops of tall buildings, getting a vantage point to be about to spot where survivors might be stranded. And, in areas that had suffered from mudslides and sinkholes, she can phase through the fallen debris and rubble, making her way into the hidden inner pockets where people are huddled and waiting. ]

Anyone in here? [ She calls out, poking get ghostly head in through a wall of dirt and debris. ] Are you okay? You're not injured? I can get someone to help get you out of here!

02. come aboard, we're expecting you

[ A cruise ship was not at all something Laurie was expecting, but she's realizing that she needs to learn to give up on expectations, as so far this place surpasses or circumvents them every time. She's never been on a cruise ship before, so she's going to make the most out of this chance.

She can be found sunbathing on deck, lounging on a deck chair and casting no shadow. Or, maybe you find her in the dining room, watching people eat. After all, a ghost like Laurie can't partake in any of the food herself! Maybe, instead, you find her late at night, roaming the deck and gazing up at an unfamiliar sky of stars.

Or, maybe you're the lucky soul who's been assigned to be her cabin mate! When you walk into your shared room, Laurie is already there, sitting cross-legged on the bed closest to the balcony door, TV remote in hand. She is flipping through channels, seeming to concentrate super hard before pressing each button on the remote. She looks up when someone enters. ]

Oh, hey, roomie! Any votes on what you want to watch? I think the Council might have comped our pay-per-view.

03. I can't see nothing but spotlights

[ Laurie has never been the type to seek out the spotlight. A performer, she is not. But as soon as she notices the magic tattoo spreading across her hands and arms the longer she goes without taking the stage, she knows she can only hold out for so long.

Finally, she steals up the nerve to take the stage, holding the microphone and taking a deep breath before she starts to sing. ]

I'm hot. You're cold.
You go around like you know
Who I am, but you don't.
You've got me on
My toes...

[ It's a relatively older song, from the summer before Laurie's death. But somehow, she feels like the volcano goddess might like it. ]

I'm slipping into the lava
And I'm tryin' to keep from going under
Baby you turn the temperature hotter
'Cause I'm burnin' up, burnin' up
For you, baby!

04. whosits and whatsits galore

[ After she died, Laurie's soul was trapped, unable to move more than thirty miles from the place of her death. And the only body of water in the small town of Bennington, Vermont was the tiny Walloomsac River. Laurie had tried going swimming in the Walloomsac, in the years after her death. After all, she didn't have much else to do to pass the time. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience. It felt less like swimming and more like just drifting through the cold, murky waters.

In all respects, diving into the Walloomsac as a ghost is nothing compared to the experience of swimming in the crystal clear Kaian cenote as a mermaid.

When the cenote's magic transforms Laurie, it gives her a shimmering, iridescent white tail, reminiscent of a betta fish. What's more, as a mermaid, she almost feels alive enough to feel the warmth of the sun-heated tropical water!

Eventually, though, the mer-brain compulsions start to take a hold on Laurie's mins. She starts pilfering objects from unsuspecting swimmers by the shore in an attempt to start a hoard of her own— don't spare change here, a pair of sunglasses there. If you take off your flip flops as you lay on a towel in the sand, you may open your eyes to see a ghostly pale mermaid making off with one of them! Should you try to stop her, or call her out on get thieving ways, she will quickly hide the flip flop behind her back, denying all guilt. ]

Huh? What? Your shoe? What shoe, I don't see a shoe... Oh, you mean this shoe? This isn't your shoe. It's, uh... It's my shoe!

[ Never mind the fact that she doesn't currently have any feet. ]

0X. wildcard

[ If you want to plot something other than the above prompts, hit me up @ millennialfalcon! Info/permissions post here, which includes a screened opt-out. I prefer brackets but will match prose if desired. ]

02 late at night

[stolasofthearsgoetia]

「Stars are among the many things that Stolas has missed with his powers having been taken away. He wanders along the deck and finds a rather pale person standing there, also staring at the stars. For a moment, he hesitates, staring at the ghost with a look of disdain. But then, loneliness wins out. He's in a completely new area with no one to reach out. He sighs and approaches her.」

My little owlet and I used to watch the stars. I promised her I would take her to the human world once to watch a meteor shower.

「He has a longing look in his eyes as he looks up at the stars, part of him wondering how the human will react.」

03: Nothing by spotlights

[lanternsgleam]

As Laurie finished up with her song, Rapunzel applauded loudly as she cheered and encouraged the other on as she had with all of those that been performing. It was just so wonderful to see so many people being brave enough to raise their voices and share their talent and feelings.

"That was great!"

02.

[xploud]

[Katsuki is not happy about the rooming conditions, not one little bit, and while he understands the need for it (there were a lot of people to evacuate), his space and his privacy are sacred. Plus, he’s seen that there really is no rhyme or reason to some of the assigned roommates, and though he could give a ratfuck about rooming with a male or female or amorphous blob, the blond teen is pretty sure not everyone shares the same sentiment. He is grumbling the entire way to his cabin with a newly bought backpack and clothes slung over his shoulder, his face knotted into his usual grim scowl as he slides the keycard into the lock and yanks the door open. Whoever the hell is in there - because there’s lights coming from under the door frame - he has to lay down some ground rules for...because he needs his goddamn peace and quiet if he’s meant to stay sane and not hurl anyone overboard.

Setting a fiery glare on the person he sees, Katsuki opens his mouth and then goes rigid.]

—oh.

[He slams the door shut.

…

Give it a minute.

The door is YANKED THE FUCK OPEN again and he looks deeply harassed, but the glower has turned into a stunned but curious, and definitely wary frown as he stares down what he can only define as a goddamn ghost sitting and watching TV on one of the beds in the cabin. Hey...hey, what the fuck??]

02 Late at night

[mist_the_point]

[It seems Laurie isn't the only one out stargazing tonight, as she's joined by a very tall man with gray skin and pointed ears.]

It seems I'm not the only one seeking some time away from the crowds.

02; night

[hexcrafter]

[In her roaming around, Laurie could find that somewhere along the deck was a frail-looking man, leaning on the railing as much as he was the crutch at his side. Not quite taking notice of her yet, Viktor stared pensively out at the horizon--between the stars and the ocean reflecting them.]

[The figure beside him was a good deal more notable; an enormous axolotl curled up to sit beside him, flat tail thumping slightly on the deck as she blinked enormous eyes in Laurie's direction.]

Hm--oh, good evening. [Viktor looked over his shoulder at the sound, catching sight of the young woman.] It is quite the impressive sight, is it not?

Stolas | Helluva Boss | new player, new character

[stolasofthearsgoetia]

a. Cruises

Stolas had made the decision to come here in a moment of weakness. He barely helped out with cleaning up the debris as it was, certainly out of his element. Now all that work meant nothing, as they were all ushered onto a cruise ship to evacuate onto a cruise ship. A cruise ship that Stolas would normally enjoy very much, give or take a few hiccups.

Instead, Stolas just sighs as he leans on the railing, his chin resting in his hand as he looks out at the ocean. So much has happened. Losing Octavia, being without Blitz since he chose to leave his own world, coming to a world full of humans. He's starting to regret his decision to come here. How could this world fix his relationship with his daughter? What was he thinking?

He decides to stroll around and ends up at the buffet table. His eyes light up when he sees mice as an option. What an unexpected surprise.

"Oh! My Via would love these," he says with a smile. Then his face falls into something a little sadder as he remembers his and Octavia's last conversation. "...I miss her."

Or maybe he retreats to his room to find you, his new roommate there, in a less-pleasant surprise.

b. Rites

There's a small ember growing up Stolas' arms, just creeping up to his wrists. He's not against performing per se. In fact, he wants to perform, he's just torn on the how-to and want-to. He's curiously observing those who are working with fire handling, trying to decide if he should try something new. But also looking at the awaiting crowd and wondering if he should stick with the more familiar and sing. Or perhaps anything in-between.

If he sees you working on a fire performance or saw you performing earlier, he'll curiously stride up to you and clear his throat.

"Um, excuse me. I was wondering. Would you show me some pointers?" He really wants to learn, at least a little.

Or you can approach him yourself. He's certainly looking lost.

c. Merfolk

Well, becoming a merfolk was certainly unexpected. He was hoping for clarity, enlightenment, just to have a bit of fun, or maybe to even learn a little about the deity that rules this island. Yet here he is, now with a fish tail. And it seems to be making him forget all of his woes. Or the side effects are, at least. He's got a strong case of all three side effects of becoming a merbird.

You might be lured in by him singing a song about a little imp he knows named Blitz and the sexual fun they used to have, or even of Blitz's daring rescue of saving Stolas from an ice dragon that swallowed them whole. His melodies are upbeat and playful.

Or perhaps you've gotten too close to him and he snatches something from you. The merbird chuckles sultrily as he beckons you closer. "My, thank you for the precious gift. Should I give you something in return?"

Or, just maybe, he hugs you tightly if you get too close, his grip tightened on you in a way that doesn't suggest he'll be letting go anytime soon.

"Oh, aren't you delightful?" he coos, literally and figuratively. "Why don't we spend some time together?"

Cruises

[goetic_bolide]

Octavia had secluded herself in her cabin since boarding the cruise. The previous month had been challenging for her; she had refused to leave the dorms and had avoided interactions, grappling with the pain and nightmares that followed her through the storms. Feelings of abandonment had resurfaced, especially after Loona left. However, the skies were finally clear again; the rain and clouds had disappeared, allowing her to see the stars once more.

While most passengers retreated to their cabins for the night, Octavia poked her head out and decided to venture toward the upper decks for some fresh air and a better view of the sky. First, though, she needed something to eat, so she headed to the buffet. There, she unexpectedly spotted the last person she anticipated seeing. For a moment, she froze, her voice emerging uncertainly. It was barely more than a whisper—hopeful, hesitant, and pleading all at once.

"Dad? Is it. . . what are you doing here?"

She was confused, she had hoped to see him, but had convinced herself that the reason that Blitzo and Loona had left was to go back so they could all be together without her. That they'd left her here so that she wouldn't be a problem for them, for him, any longer.

Foulques of the Mist | Current Player | OTA

[mist_the_point]

Clean Up

[When the clouds at last parted, all Foulques had wanted to do was to make his way back to his little house, spend a full day sleeping, and check to see if his herb garden had survived. But no. After a month battered by storms, there was work to be done.

He couldn't say he was really pressed into service as much as he simply saw no point in resisting the general flow in that direction. He accepted his vest, tools, and instructions with a minimum of speech, then went about his assigned work the same way, unless interrupted.]

Cruising

[The compulsory evacuation was a surprise. He briefly debated holing up in his house, in hopes of either being overlooked amid the general confusion such events entailed, or of seeing if he would be dragged out bodily if he outright refused. But no. As entertaining as it might be to force the Council's hand, he hadn't the energy at present. So he gathered a few changes of clothes and boarded the enormous ship willingly, if begrudgingly.

The first day was spent mostly in his cabin, getting that long awaited sleep he'd originally wanted. Best keep it down if you're his cabinmate, because the grumpy lancer will be extra grumpy if you wake him up.

Once awake, he could be found roaming the ship looking for somewhere that isn't crowded and/or noisy. Or, on at least one evening, in the jazz bar, sitting at a relatively secluded table with a partly finished glass of wine in front of him, staring out the window at some vague point. Judging by the flush darkening his ears and cheeks and the fact that his gaze is somewhat unfocused, this glass of wine likely isn't his first.

Kai Island

[The mention of 'dealing with wildlife' on the island had had him briefly interested, until it turned out to be less hunting fiends and more keeping parrots and gulls from stealing people's lunches. Instead he opted to assist with gathering fruit, which was interesting in a different way, as there were a number of varieties unfamiliar to him.

Much of the rest of his time was spent enjoying the hiking trails or exploring the shoreside caves. He had little hope of finding anything interesting, as the trails are well-trodden and the caves well-documented, but one never knew. And in any case, it was far better than the...]

Fire Rites

[Each night, someone dragged him to this... show? Ceremony? He wasn't quite sure what to call it, other than an annoyance. He wouldn't have minded so much if it had merely been presented as an optional activity. He might even have enjoyed parts of it, in spite of most of the food offered there being a bit too spicy for the palate of a man born and raised in Gridania.

But it was something that everyone was expected to not only attend but participate in. By divine mandate, apparently, if that gods-damned tattoo was any indication. Its constant and growing nagging robbed him of most all of the enjoyment he might have gotten from the performances. Until finally, he could bear it no longer and stepped forward. However, he intended to make his displeasure known first.]

Hear me; the goddess of this place is no goddess I worship. I did not ask to be brought aboard the ship, or to this isle, and feel no obligation to venerate her. Moreover, any 'fire' I might have once had has long since burned to ashes. But as it seems I'll be allowed no peace until I play my part in this mummery, those ashes will have to suffice. So I offer you now a demonstration of combat techniques with polearms.

[And that's exactly what he does, demonstrating various strike, lunges, and sweeps for those watching and ending in a 'battle' against an imaginary opponent. And Foulques is good, there's no doubt about it. The final 'combat' resembles a particularly vicious and aggressive dance, and ends with him stabbing his spear into the ground and summoning a circle of icy energy on the ground around him.

Attempting to approach before the circle fades will cause any exposed skin to feel as though it's being jabbed by numerous icy needles, but fortunately, nether the circle nor the feeling will last long in the tropical summer. And when Foulques rises and returns to his seat, he seems calmer and more relaxed than he has probably since before June. So feel free to come and tell him what you thought of his performance. Maybe try to guess what- or who- he was pretending to slaughter at the end there; that's fun right?]

My favorite way to relax is to enjoy a nice cup of tea, on my front step or in my garden. At home. Alone.

Bakugou Katsuki | My Hero Academia

[xploud]

💣 i. Cruising Through Trouble 💣

[This place is a mess.

At first, Katsuki was dubious about this entire thing - being fucking isekai'd to a *~*magical world*~* that needed help through the power of kindness seemed like something that would be slapped on the cover of a children's anime, or a shitty video games intended for a younger audience, but when he actually saw the state of this place... Well, he can't exactly tell them to fuck off now, can he? Even if his own world needs to be rebuilt, his friends and all the other Heroes, even civilians now have it all handled. The future there is bright. Here though...it feels smaller, less hands, and really? There was a tone of desperation in the voices of the Council who explaining the whole ordeal and helped heal some of the damage to his busted up arm. Normally he would hiss and spit at any help like that - he can regain function of that on his own, thank you very much - but it really is "all hands on deck" right now, and an injury like what he has is only going to slow down progress. So this time, and this time only, Katsuki allows his arm to be healed somewhat, just enough not to be a complete hindrance.

Naturally, when given the list of job that need immediate help, he leaps on the Search and Rescue team. With all the training he has in that, and his Emergency First Aid training, he's got a whole lot under his belt to help with that. Plus, his quirk can be useful to clear paths, and his control over the output of his explosions means no one's lives are going to be risked, either. Not on his goddamn watch, anyway... P-Pets might...be the main problem. He's not an especially nice guy, and his aura comes off as very, uh...unapproachable, even predatory, and pets and especially lost farm animals won't be especially keen to approach someone like him. But if he must, he will.

Right now though, he's doing a fly-by of the area from above, the resounding BOOM! of his explosions propelling the young Hero through the air as he scans the ground, landing after he does a clean sweep, shaking away the smoke that still clings to his fingers.]

All clear from the skies, but that doesn't mean there isn't anyone trapped inside a building somewhere. What's Ground Control found out? We have a missing person's count? Names, ages, heightened risk parameters?

[Elderly, children, anyone pregant, sick or disabled persons...he has to tick off all those boxes to be completely thorough, but it's clear as day that this is not this kid's first rodeo. He knows exactly what needs to be done and how to do it.]

💣 ii. All Inclusive 💣

[Okay. While Katsuki understands the need for an evacuation for this amount of excessive damage and rebuilding, and a luxury cruise sounds pretty nice, actually...his face falls into a grimace of all grimaces when he realizes that there won't be private rooms for him to enjoy some peace and quiet. If one of his friends and classmates were here, this wouldn't be an issue, but Katsuki hasn't seen hide nor hair of any one of them since he arrived, but he hasn't exactly been looking, either. He hit the ground running the second he got here, that Hero Mode switch activating almost instantly to make sure those effected by whatever the fuck happened here were safe and well-tended to. Hopefully he does find someone, it'd make sense they got an invitation from that scruffy ball of feathers, but...whatever. He doesn't have to stay in his room, only to sleep, so maybe it won't be so bad. He could always kill them kick them out onto the fucking deck.

Anyway, those three days at sea are...a Time, but for the most part it is enjoyable! The food and entertainment is good, and with the, uh...Stardust, was it? With the Stardust he's accumulated already, Katsuki was able to get a tiny wardrobe going as well as a decent sized backback to store everything into. Because like hell is he sticking with just one pair of clean clothes for three fucking days, are you INSANE???]

Oh, thank fuck...

[A private cabin. Holy shit, that is a blessing in and of itself, because he is so people'd out he need to just hide for a while and recharge his social battery. The introvert in him was withering away when not keeping himself busy with the cruise liner's gym and arcade. Now he can settle and relax in a way that suits him, and anyone who even attempts to room with him will get the door promptly slammed in their faces. Absolutely fucking not. He needs this. Rest and rejuvenation for Katsuki is to be AWAY FROM EVERYONE ELSE for at least twelve hours. At least. So, he will do just that, and it's so, so wonderful. He beds early and rises early, catching the sunrise on the water with a hot cup of tea and some classical music playing from an app of his Glimmer.

But once his morning routine is done, Katsuki goes all in on the activities there are to do on this island, mostly, hiking. It's his favorite lesser known hobby, and after grabbing some gear from a local shop, he sets out with a massive grin on his face as he goes, always taking the more difficult path, and trying to work his bad arm a bit by using it to grab ledges, branches, and even give himself a little boost with his quirk - just a small pop to get some additional height if he needs it for a jump or something. He stopped by the time anyone comes by also on this path, drinking deeply from an icy bottle of some kind of high electrolyte energy drink. He needs it from how he's sweating, rubbing his face with a small towel. It's humid as shit on this island, but he feels good.

And once the sun sets? Katsuki doesn't even really feel as tired as he usually does. Probably because he napped a bit after his hike (he wakes up stupid early), so he's got energy to spare this time. And oh? This Fire Rite thing actually catches his eye when he sees the rich color of spice and smells the familiar aroma of his favorite flavor profile. Holy fuck. Oh my god. This might actually be paradise. Katsuki normally doesn't eat a lot, but he is sampling small bites of everything that appeals to him, and it actually has some heat, which only makes his grin wider and his mood better. The usual resting bitch face he has is gone for a change and it's clear he's actually enjoying himself, his head nodding to the beat of drums playing at a performance, ticking in his head the rhythm and flow, and even copying the drum beat with his fingers on the table, or with a piece of cutlery.

He willingly does the Fire Rite within the first day or so, thinking it only fitting after being welcomed essentially for free. He's not afraid of fire, and why would he be? His quirk may not be fire itself, but it's still fire-aligned. He does, however, have to form a bit of a perimeter around himself because, well...it's explosions. Even if he can control them with absolute precision, he has to take some precautions.]

Stand back, and don't come near me - keep a twenty foot distance unless you want to go home in pieces. [He's removing his top, setting it aside in the sand, showing off an extremely muscular build and a torso riddled with scars from his chest to the whole length of one arm. There's even a scar under one eye, along his cheekbone. Once he's stretched a little bit, hissing at the strain of his scarred arm, Katsuki begins to light up his palms. From red, to orange, to a bright yellow, small explosions pop and crackle in his palms like tiny fireworks, sparkling brightly on his skin until they start moving up his arms, his shoulders, down his chest and abdomen. He can detonate from any part of his body now, not just his palms, but once he's done with that and people start to clap and cheer, he throw his head back and laugh.] OI, OI, YOU THAT'S IT?! EYES UP!!

[And BOOM! Laughing himself high into the air, the blond streaks through the night sky like a coment, or a living firework, and by utilizing his Cluster technique...he truly makes a show of burning the sky with blasts of explosions - small, medium, and really big at the end. It's not colorful or anything, he sadly doesn't sweat pigments to color the explosions...just nitroglycerin, but it is pretty damn cool nonetheless!! And, of course, like the Actual Nerd he is, he lifts a fist into the air in the proper All Might pose. Of course.]

💣 iii. Down Where It's Wetter 💣

Oi, you. Give me that.

[Well hello there, random individual! You have been accosted while taking a nice little dip in the water by a rather angry looking fish. Er, merman. Katsuki didn't exactly anticipate or want this outcome, but he couldn't help his curiosity when he saw some big ol' fucking fish tail lurking in the water one morning. He needed to make sure there wasn't some dangerous fish in the water where people were congregating, so he asked about it and was led to that little grotto. He...admittedly was not paying much attention to the thing about mermaids, so he just dove in expecting to find some fish he needed to relocate or something, and now? Now he's the fucking fish. HOW THE TURNS HAVE TABLED INDEED.

Anyway, he's glowering and looking directly at whatever shiny, metallic and/or reflective object upon your person. Sunglasses, jewelry, even metal bionics or whatever that is probably impossible to hand over. Katsuki has just, sadly, been possessed by the spirit of hoarding stuff that sparkles and shines, and while he would never hurt anyone for real, those long and sharp barbs on his finds are intimidating...and poisonous...]

[procedere]

[Izuku isn't yet sure if there are any other familiar faces around. But he's been busy helping out where he can. He does help out where he can before they go on a cruise. At least there, it's a forced rest for him. Which he hasn't really done in a good while. He spends most of his time just resting in whichever room is assigned to him, sleeping and recovering from his time running around on his own after the escaped prisoners.

But eventually he does manage to run into the blonde, as Bakugo seems to be getting ready to head out?]

Kacchan?

Rapunzel | Disney's Tangled | Current Player

[lanternsgleam]

Care and Comfort Team:
Rapunzel had been helping with cleaning and organizing for a while, but she soon realized that her true strength lay in providing care and comfort. Offering hugs, encouragement, and kind words came naturally to her. For those who were particularly injured or in need of support, she was always there to lend a hand. As she wrapped her hair around them, she didn’t say much; instead, she began to sing. As she sang, her hair glowed, radiating warmth like a golden beam of sunlight. The injuries and weariness seemed to fade away, as if they had never existed. Although she hadn’t shared her magic until now, after the difficult rains and pain of June, it was clear that other forms of magic existed, and this was the least she could do to help the others in Iyashikei.

Cruising Along:
The size of the ship was absolutely astonishing to Rapunzel; she had never seen anything so enormous that could float on water. It seemed so large that it could fit her entire tower inside, almost resembling a floating city. She made it a point to explore every part of the ship and fully participate in all the planned activities.

First thing in the morning, she headed to the breakfast bar, followed by line dancing classes, yoga sessions at the spa and fitness center, karaoke, playing BINGO, and scavenger hunts. Her long trail of blonde hair could often be seen shifting from one location to another on the ship, occasionally getting caught in the elevators, where she spent several hours just riding up and down in amazement.

"This. IS. AMAZING!!!"

Down where it's wetter:
Presented with the opportunity to explore new places and try things she had never experienced before, Rapunzel was thrilled at the chance to be a mermaid for a little while. After all, it wouldn’t hurt; she would get to see a whole new world and could change back whenever she wanted. In the crystal-clear waters surrounding the island, Rapunzel delighted in her new tail and her ability to swim. While she hadn't always been great with personal boundaries before, her behavior had become a bit more careless. She found herself hugging random strangers and even grabbing someone by the arm to pull them along to see something she found interesting.

[weedeater]

Ryo's been helping out too - both playing music for people in her downtime, and turning her skill at cooking with random odds and ends towards keeping others fed - and hadn't realized how productive she'd been... or how tiring that productivity is.

Magical healing hair is a weird feeling, but she quickly melts into a blob once Rapunzel starts singing.

Octavia | Helluva Boss | Current Player

[goetic_bolide]

Debris Clean-up:
June had been terrible, and if she didn’t know any better, she would have thought she had returned to Hell. Ever since the rain started, it had been one problem after another. She discovered that she had been scammed out of most of her stardust for a bunch of useless junk. Blitzo and Loona had left without saying a word, and she hadn’t been able to see the stars. On top of that, she was suffering from constant aches and shooting pains, accompanied by nightmares that came with the fog. For most of the month, she had stayed locked in her dorm, especially after classes were canceled and everything shut down due to the flooding.

Now that the rain had stopped—and with it, the nightmares—Octavia had volunteered to help with the debris removal. She used her magic to lift the heavier debris and move it out of the way. Although she was quite tired, occasionally dozing off despite the music blasting from her headphones, she continued to work; looking almost dead on her feet.

Cruising:
Octavia had never been on a cruise before and was unfamiliar with what they entailed; after all, there weren't exactly luxury liners in Hell. However, it was a welcome change after the tumultuous events of the previous month. At last, the skies were clear again, as the rain and clouds had disappeared, allowing her to see the stars once more.

The only issue now was the crowd of people on the cruise ship. Normally, Octavia didn't care for crowds, especially crowds of humans, due to her past experiences. Unfortunately, it seemed almost impossible to avoid them. So, on the first day, she spent most of her time in her cabin.

Finally, when it appeared that most of the other passengers were retreating to their cabins for the night, Octavia poked her head out and decided to venture to the upper decks for some fresh air and a better view of the sky.

KCQ: UN: burningstar
Favorite ways to relax? Playing my guitar and singing. It helps with a lot and I enjoy doing it. But I've also really enjoyed seeing the stars more and learning about the new constellations and celestial bodies of this world. It's also kind of cool to drop by places that have things like weird taxidermy and check them out.

hay girl

[somethingfucky]

He's not trying to avoid being outside on deck, with nothing to look at but miles of water or anything, by staying in the cabin most of that first day, why would you think that?

Alright so, what if that's exactly what Blitzø is doing? It makes him uneasy. Surrounded in such tight quarters in an unfamiliar layout with some people he recognizes from before, and whoever else - with nowhere to go. He's an assassin, it's part of his job to think this way, sue him. So that first day, he spends it inside before venturing on deck. Time to get to know the ship's quarters, scope things out a bit... it's weird, how smooth the ride is. He expected it to be choppy and swaying under foot. He takes a minute to let go of the wall he'd been holding onto. It's pretty quiet out, maybe most everyone's had the opposite idea as him; going to bed and getting some rest.

Not plagued by insomnia or feeling ill at ease. Well lucky them.

And shit, there's one of the ones he's been hoping to run out into.

"So I'm not the only one that got pulled back here. Wouldn't you guess that messenger still reaaaaally doesn't understand sarcasm."

Pitaya Dragon Cookie | Cookie Run: Kingdom

[dragontongue]

🐉 i. Cruising Through Trouble 🐉

[Pitaya has no idea what is going on. One moment they were celebrating a well-deserved victory after a hard-fought battle, and then next they wind up in a cave that is most certainly not theirs. The scent is all wrong, and everything is much, much too big. Worst of all is that they are alone, too - no Snapdragon Cookie, and most importantly no Hollyberry Cookie... The other two they don't especially care much about. Sorry, not sorry. Thankfully, there are people there to explain everything, but it still takes a few minutes to calm Pitaya down, the little cookie reverting to their dragon form which is bigger than their cookie form considerably, but...still only about the size of a corgi or so. Maybe a large domestic cat at best. They huff and growl, baring sharp teeth and claws, trying to look as imposing as they can before what are clearly much larger and powerful...foes? They don't know, but they aren't taking chances.

When they finally get the information they demand, they're calmed down and entered Iyashikei proper. But you're not going to catch this dragon lifting a finger to help with anything, that's not their duty and they've done enough to help out back home already. And you know what? That shit was exhausting, and they need to actually rest and recoup their strength properly, so that little cruise is exactly what they deserve!! The legendary greenish-red dragon deserves nothing but the finest!! They are mostly found by the buffet, stuffing their face with mostly fruits and vegetables, but also plenty of juice and an array of desserts, too. And no, they are not being polite about it, or hygeinic. Clawed hands are grabbing and tearing chunks off stuff, shoving it into their gob and smacking their lips loudly as they gulp down mouthful after mouthful of crisp juice and fizzy soda (and some alcohol, let's be so real here).]

HAHAHA!! Now that'ssss more like it!! Finally, a little ressst and relaxation! And a good meal, too!! You there, sssservant! [They do not care if you are a server or not, and are brandishing a fork like a massive trident in your direction to point.] Bring me another plate and once!

[Now, once they arrive at their cabin, they do the first thing that comes naturally - loot the fucking place. Towels, fuzzy slippers, a few pillows, and even a bathroom loofa are grabbed and shoved under one of the beds as they begin to craft a nest there, their slightly blunted tail peeking out from there as they arrange so many stolen ballpoint pens and that fork from earlier (and several spoons) into their newly created hoard. Be wary of your fingers if you reach under the bed at any time, they absolutely will bite.

Also they're going to steal your shoelaces, bet.]

🐉 ii. Fire Rites 🐉

[Again, Pitaya does not help with anything once they arrive at the Island of Kai - they are just not the sort to do so unless shoved into it by someone else cough Hollyberry cough, or challenged to do something. It's not in a dragon's nature to give, but to take, to keep, and to hoard. So they eat, drink, and enjoy all the amenities they are so freely given, but will probably not help in any way. Besides, their size does hinder a lot of what they even could do, and though they will never EVER admit it...they're quite frustrated by the fact that even their dragon form is utterly dwarfed by everyone else in this goddamn realm. Fucking bullshit. >:C Fear them, you assholes.

Of course, once the Fire Rites are mentioned, that actually catches their attention. It's not a fight, sadly - they are itching to show their mettle in some hand-to-hand, or hand-to-claw combat - but a performance to show their affinity to fire itself? PAH!! Who do these Witches and Wizards think they're talking to?! Proudly lifting their head up...a-as if anyone could see it as they are very, very small, the little cookie spreads their draconic wings and flies up to shout at the crowd.]

If it'sss a show you want, it'sss a show you'll get!! Behold the power of the Legendary Red Dragon!!!

[Instantly, they shift into their dragon form and fly up higher, circling the beach for a moment then diving down towards the sands and breathing fire onto the grounf, creating molten glass. They swoop and grab handfuls of the hot substance, dragging and pulling it hither and thither until, after many bursts of flame and swoops, they've created a glimmering castle of glass, and roost upon the topmost tower and roar powerfully.]

🐉 iii. Kindly Curious Question 🐉

un: PitayaDragon

Such a peculiar device...but appreciated that they had one befitting my size...

Relaxing is easy for such a being as myself!! Sleeping after a long day is the best, especially after a good meal, and amongst all my treasures, of course! Oh, and a fight with a worthy opponent relaxes me. If they survive, that is!! Then it wasn't worth the effort, nor my precious time.

Fire Rites

[celebrateourvictory]

[ Hollyberry Cookie had been a little late to the performances (let's face it, it's related to booze) so by the time the dragon has taken to the skies, she juuust missed him, and is about to ask what's going on... but then she hears it.

If it'sss a show you want...

Her eyes almost pop out of their icing. Is she... hearing what she thinks she's hearing? Or is that the drink talking?

...it'sss a show you'll get!!

Who is she kidding? Out of everyone in Earthbread - out of all the dragons - there's only one with that arrogance, that gleeful showmanship, that desire to prove they are the strongest! It can only be...!

Behold the power of the Legendary Red Dragon!!!

Now she finds herself racing through the legs of all the taller people, her face a mix of delight and relief. Happy as she is to see someone from her world, that happiness is increased tenfold by this specific presence. Where others would run in the opposite direction of those flames, she runs towards them, joyous laugh escaping her throat.

With the castle's completion, she makes it to the front of the crowd, and she shouts at the top of her lungs, hoping to be heard above all the cheers and applause. ]

PITAYA DRAGON COOKIE!

Viktor | Arcane | current player/character

[hexcrafter]

[i; care team]

[An abundance of caution and two separate engineering degrees at work had ensured the small houseboat docked near the hospital had weathered the storm with minimal issue. Light damage, some things knocked about here and there, nothing that was in need of immediate attention. Which meant Viktor could shift his focus to what did need attention; neither particularly mobile nor very skilled with anything medical, he'd been directed towards food preparation. Easy enough; he was excellent with his hands as well as passable in a kitchen, occasionally looking up from whatever he was currently doing to gently direct someone else looking for cooking instructions.]

[It was all a good deal more direct than the kind of paradigm-shifting change he always hoped for, but...well, maybe a perspective on the smaller picture of things wasn't the worst thing.]

[ii; cruising]

[Evacuation, even a temporary one, had seemed like a bit of an overreaction to Viktor--who, when faced with work to do, wouldn't know 'rest' if it punched him in the nose. But there was clearly no arguing the matter, and it was not exactly an argument that could be overheard during room assignments.]

-do not quite follow, what do you mean exception? [And gods help the poor worker that handed Viktor the slip of paper with his assignment, because both of them were at a loss in the way of a critical miscommunication. 'Uh...well, we're not going to randomly split up married couples-']

...What.

[He glanced down to the paper in his hand, finding the minor and yet very major clerical error that no doubt came from not having a last name. Hurriedly pocketing a room assignment labeled Jayce and Viktor Talis (rather than 'Viktor and Jayce Talis', of course) Viktor quickly mumbled a hurried thanks and excuse to leave muffled by the hand now covering a face rapidly turning pink as he shuffled off.]

[On the cruise ship proper, Viktor didn't go too far out of his way to do much--the interior felt a little too busy for his taste, though at night he could easily be found out on the deck. 'Easily', because of the enormous waverider sitting tranquilly next to him. This was clearly not strange enough to be worth attention, the hand not on Viktor's crutch resting on the railing as he stared distantly out to the stars reflected in the ocean's surface.]

[iii; wildcard]

[most anything else, i'm p flexible. giant axolotl optional.]

[boyofprogress]

[While Jayce is glad to not be separated from Viktor by randomized room assignments, the idea that they're considered married here is... he's not entirely sure, still, how he feels about it. He certainly feels something, but there's time later to figure it out further.

After exploring the interior a bit, Jayce finds his partner out on the deck and settles easily on the other side of him after giving Rio a polite pat hello. He kisses Viktor's cheek in greeting, leaning against the rail next to him.] Hello, husband.

Terra | Kingdom Hearts | TDM | new player/character!

[notatyrant]

I.- And they were roommates!

[Terra had agreed to go into a new world by accident, but that doesn't mean he's going to sit down and do nothing.

Except that's exactly what happened. He was ushered into a ship, a really big ship, and assigned a room he had to go find.

When he finds it, he double checks the number and location, and when he's sure he got the correct room, he opens the door, only to find someone else in there already.]

I'm sorry, didn't mean to barge in, but it seems like we're sharing a room.

II.- It's getting hot in here

[Really, Terra is amazed at how everything works in this world. Also, it's really warm, and Terra's clothes are cool and all, but a bit... Not fit for this weather. The volcano seems interesting as well, and after a small walk around the city, he decides to go on a hike.

With his stupidly big pants.

So off he goes, following every path that can he can take, of course, listening to the warnings he was given before he decided to do so.

After that, Terra decides to go relax by the beach, finding one of those star looking fruits, chuckling to himself.]

Aqua would probably like these.

[He carries it around with him, as he walks around the edge of the water, never getting wet because that's uncomfortable with his clothes really.

He finds a hammock later and gets in it, still holding onto the star fruit, and smiling, thinking of Van and Aqua, back home.]

III.- Full time to floating.

Woah....

[Terra had asked about the people in the water, and then to be guided to where he could join.

Because being wet and covered in sand only sucks if you're wearing clothes!

Right, well, he takes off his pants and shirt, and dips in the water completely, soaked from head to toe, and then he's transforming into a merman. He looks at his golden looking tail, smiling brightly, because hey that's cool! His chest is out in the open, which feels weird, but he gets used to it pretty fast.

Terra asks the local if he can stay in the water and swim back, but doesn't really listen to much before dipping in as far as he can go, swimming more than he had ever before!

He swims until he's tired, and then decides to just float around, relaxing, seeing the sun shine brightly from the water.

He bumps into someone as he the waves move him, so he turns to apologize, feeling the urge to touch this person's arm as he does.]

I apologize, wasn't really looking.

IV.- K.C.Q!

My favourite way to relax is to spar with my friends, but if we can't, I like watching the sky, specially at night.

[weedeater]

[ Once she saw the whole mer thing, Ryo kind of had to try it out - after finding a top that was lightweight enough while still having long sleeves. Midnight blue and flowing in the water, it drifted around her as she found herself...

She really did...

End up with a distinctly shark-like tail that had her heart pounding, just a little, with excitement.

That energy turns into an enthusiastic flip of her tail when someone bumps into her, reflexively batting him a little. ]

-and I'm not. Um. ...used to the tail thing. Fish thing. ...I didn't hit you too hard, right?

Princess Cookie | Cookie Run Kingdom

[prettypunchy]

i. Scouting Team GO!

[Suddenly waking up in some unknown land. Everything feels much bigger, or she suddenly shrunk… fine. No Knight Cookie around— Wait. No Knight Cookie?

Well, that’s not too important here. Princess Cookie found herself summoned to join a scouting team to find people. Something happened here and this cookie was late for the party. Much as she protested to join the rescue team, she was denied. After all, she is a small walking gingerbread cookie with a mix of berries scent. After a few huffs and displeased glare, she finally surrendered. No matter, scouting it is.

Though delicate and pretty as she is, it didn’t stop this cookie from exploring. Princess Cookie hopped stumps to debris elegantly and chipper. If anything, this was a start of another adventure.]

Let’s go guys! My cookie instinct says.. this way!

[Not waiting for a reply, she points her staff and onward she went!]

Come on! You’ll mold if you don’t move.

ii. Cruise time

[Talk about being rushed. While Princess Cookie enjoy a few adventures, she didn’t enjoy the rush. Pack her things? She just got here! Princess cookie made effort to pick up a few things with what currency given to her, then rolls a small pink baggage (honestly, it looks like it belongs to a Barbie doll). Cruise guide pink cookie making her way! Watch this cookie try to maneuver around those giant feet!!

While the crowd felt a bit overwhelming, the cabin arrangements was a mess. Finally, after getting the information she needed, to the cabin! Boy, she was excited to find a place to rest her little feet. Princess Cookie finally made to her destination. Thankfully, this cabin had a small door on the door… yeah they had to accommodate for the small people. Anyway, Princess Cookie puts a smile on and swings that door wide open with a loud echoing thud.]

Hello! I’ll be your neighbor from here and on out! Wow, it looks bigger than I imagined.

[While Maria is definitely happy the rains have stopped, and efforts to rebuild and help with the terrible flooding and property damage as well as rescues, she's equally a little stressed out when a sudden evacuation is all but thrust upon them. Of course she goes along with it, there's precious little else she can do, but...it's just a little unsettling and uncomfortable when she's told she won't be rooming with her brother. Of course, the black hedgehog is probably more upset about it than she is - they've been practically attached at the hips since the rains (and pains) got especially bad - but she assured him it'd be okay for a few days. Not like he didn't know where she was, and they couldn't see one another throughout the trip, either.

When Princess Cookie enters the cabin, Maria is already there, arranging her belongings neatly into one place. Looking around in confusion at where the voice is coming from, she finally casts her eyes down and looks pleasantly surprised, a large smile growing on her face as she kneels down as much as she can without just laying on the floor.]

Oh, hello there!! Another cookie! It's so nice to meet you!

Care and Comfort

[Did someone say that comfort and medical care was needed? This looks like a job for a personal healthcare companion! He will be happily helping out with any injuries he might come across, or anyone who just needs a hug.

Also, in a pinch, he can be used as a floatation device!]

Cruising A- Cabinmates

[Baymax didn't really have anything to pack. And doesn't really take up that much space in the cabin, despite his pudgy form, as he doesn't even really need a bunk, just a spot to plug his charging station into the wall.

As his roommate enters, he greets them with a friendly little wave.]

Hello, I am Baymax. I am your cabinmate.

Cruising B- Activities

[Baymax could be found in a number of different places around the ship. You might find him in the pool, floating contentedly while wearing a pair of red swim trunks and matching bathing cap. After promising that he wouldn't tap into wifi to search for answers, he'd join in the trivia games. He could also be found at the spa, but he's not getting a massage, he's helping give them. He could also be found helping out the ship's medical team, so if you're feeling a bit seasick, or injured yourself trying an inadvisable dive into the pool, he's here to help!

Fire Rites

[Baymax hardly seems like someone who could be described as 'passionate'. But he's happy to join in with performances nonetheless. And thanks to Hiro, he's got something more interesting to show off than how to apply bandages. He knows a ton of dance styles too, so he's willing to take requests if anybody has a particular style they'd like to see.]

Wildcard

[Want Baymax somewhere else? Post away or poke me at tanks4thememory for plotting.]
