Come right on in, CP! The more the merrier! (Oops, I don't think I made it very clear from my first post. The closer you can get to describing yourself "in real life" is probably the better. (That's why I referred to myself as "embodying the goddess"- it's a nice term for being on the larger side, hehee!) Remember, the 'real you' is more interesting than any character you can invent!)

YAY!!!!!!!!

ok, so my good points:
1)i can make chainmail - this can make armor OR fishing nets
2)im a deep thinker (very deep, spend mor etime with my thoughts than other people)
3)im a great guide - i can help others explore their spiritual potential
4)self controlled

my bad points:
1)isolated
2)diabetic - when in a diabetic "hypo" i get very confused - caused by low blod sugar

ok, so my introduction


"finally, a chance kick back for a while" i thought, whilest memorizing the route from my quaters to the mess hall. "ive spent to much time writing about God and not enough time listening to God. well, i promise ill spend this cruise with an open mind for you to fill, lord" i preyed, after ordering a cappuccino and a muffin from the waiter. "ill read the bible a bit, not done that since i started my theology course at university, although, that sun does look like it wants to be bathed in" i contemplated, seeing a mental picture of myself, long blakc hair, black silky shirt, black trousers, silver chains and chokers dangling round my neck, with a weave of complicated chainmail in one hand, a bag of expensive rings in the other, all reflecting the sun's light into some old lady's eyes. coming back into reality i let my gaze wonder around the room, allowing myself the odd moment to examine different peoples behaviour, tuning into the occasional conversation of "i knew i didnt pack the sun cream" and "how much do i owe you for this?"

after downing the last dreggs of cold coffee, i detoured only slightly from the route previously memorized to pay a visit to the little boys room, and then allowed myself a steady stroll back to the quaters allocated to Mr. Michael Lumb, for a further period of quite prayer and meditation.



i do hope thats alright, do i need to put in more description of myself? i tired to make it humerous but still life-like. but honestly though, my mind often follows that kind of thought process

PFM, as I said in frubalizing you, please don't worry! You were doing it the way you thought it was being done! You can't mess up anything in role playing! :) Please don't feel you need to rewrite it.

CP, I think you did a wonderful job! Very descriptive!

Ooops! Too late, I already edited my introduction post. But that's okay, now you can all feel soooooo sorry for me and realize I actually NEED this cruise! :biglaugh:

Heheheee! Well, if we have an RF cruise, you can be the first aboard! (Sorry I didn't realize that you'd already changed it when I said that! It's even better now, though!)

Hi, my name is Teri, I am a drug addict and alcoholic . . . oops, wrong place. Just kidding, I'm just kidding . . . I don't drink. Ok, here I go for real this time.:p

As Teri is swimming laps in the pool, she realizes that this is the first real vacation she has had since her son was born, 8 years ago. A single mother of two can't really take time off. She is an author, who has just published a new book. Soon she will be traveling all over the United States doing workshops and seminars, and wanted to take some time to herself to meditate on all the changes she was about to face.

She did not really care for change, she likes things to be predictable, and somewhat controlled, but she feels that this is only the 'mother' in her. She strives to provide a consistant lifestyle for her kids, but the idea of meeting new people, and helping others reach their full potential is exciting and scary.

She is in her mid thirties, but is often mistaken for being much younger, her thin build gives the illusion that she is much taller than her actual height of 5'7". She supports her children by doing odd jobs here and there. Her deep tan and muscular build suggests that alot of those jobs are outside, and strenuous.

As she climbs out of the pool, her long black hair almost touches the top of her bikini bottom, and shimmers with hints of blue, like the feathers of the Raven. She is native american, and her cheek bones and chisled features along with her black hair, accentuate her hazel eyes. Her eyes are like a mood ring, they change from green to blue, to shades of gray. Wrapping the towel around her, she stops the waiter and asks him to bring her a cup of coffee, hot blonde, and super-sweet, then she walks over and looks out over the rail of the ship.

The vast open ocean takes her breath away for a moment but then a splash catches her attention, DOLPHINS, a whole school of them, swimming right along side of the ship, "Hey, Feathers!!!! Come here." She calls out to one of the women she had met earlier. . .

(Remember, all! Anyone can jump in at any time, and that includes people that are just 'joining' us! :) I'm loving this! *happy dance*)

Feathers looks away from the shuffle-board court and over to Teri, who's standing near the railing. She puts down the book she was reading ("Good Omens", by Terry Pratchett) and runs over to the railing.

What is it?

So we can join in anytime we like...:woohoo: let the game begin! ........

Jules notices two women leaning overboard, pointing at the dolphins in the ocean. Being as this is Jules first time on a cruise, Dolphins are a must see! She picks up her glass of wine and makes her way over and quickly introduces herself, while admiring the scene below.

"How graceful they dance in the ocean, side by side like a ballet".
"By the way, I'm Jules! This is my first time on a cruise ship. Isn't this wonderful?"

Feathers greets Jules, smiling happily.

"This is wonderful!" she says. "So this is your first time on a cruise ship, too? I was worried I was the only one!"

Jules thinks to herself, maybe this won't be so bad afterall. A friendly face in a crowd of strangers was just what she needed to feel at ease.

"I'm sure we aren't the only ones" Jules says with a friendly smile.
"Are you here with friends or family? I came alone to get away from all the stress of real life". She giggles at herself, as this is the first time she's actually said this aloud and realizes how silly it sounds.
"The dolphins sure are incredible. I could watch them for hours."

as the motion of the boat had given me a slight sickness, i had been struggling to mantain focus in private meditation, and so decided to solve my stomach before solving the world! whilest looking for somewhere quiet and shadey to linger in for a while, i walked past a bunch of giggly girls on the deck, lusting after the dolphins. "cute" i thought, as i admired the waiter bringing one of them a steaming coffee, (hot blonde, and super sweat - is this the coffee or the waiter? enhanced?)

finding a quiet area at the very back of the ship's deck i ducked down into the corner and retrieved a book from my bag entitled "interview with a vampire" by Anne Rice, and continued to read, ignoring the occasional interuption of children playing. althoug the book was very intruiging, i could not stop my attention passing onto some of these children playing with not a care in the world, after reading the same sentence about 10 times, i gave up reading and took to thinking about my own childhood. it had been a relatively happy one, no big family upsets, i was loved, i had a good home, but there was never any real communication - not like i could see between this little girl and her mother, who talked about school and friends.

i cast my mind back to a few particular memories i had of talking to my own mum, the deepest conversation we had ever had was when i had told her i was gay, she had told me she loved me, but after that, although i know she loves me, she didnt know how to express it.

i started to walk back across the ship, with no particular destination in mind, my face blank and emotionless as i wonderd more about my relationship with my mother. i was vaguely aware that i was getting a few weird looks as i simply walked through the crowds on my own, i knew i was isolating myself again, half wanting to let myself go, but not wanting to let anyone get too close to me either. i found myself a coupel of minutes later in the middel of the on-boat shop, and facing the selectin of alcoholic bottels ..........................

upon returning to my quaters, with a strong want for the alcohol i refused to endulge in, i realise with horror that i have lost my favourite book i had earlier!

"oh c**p" i though as i saw a mental image of the innocent little girl i had seen earlier discovering the book, "id better go find it"

(michael starts walking around the ship looking for his book and avoiding the shop selling alcohol)

Peter Mackey stepped out of his room, walked down the hall, and stepped into the sun, which was painting a brilliant picture across the waves, sparkling deep shades of sapphire. When he turned to his left, he even saw a group of dolphins near the head of the ship, along with a group of people watching them. The overplay of light along the dolphin's skin was like visual poetry to the young man's eyes, bringing deep relaxation and pleasure to him.

He decided to go see what the group thought of the same scene. As he walked there, he shifted his "on-the-long-side-but-not-yet-very-long" hair out of his eyes (a constant nuisance; it wasn't long enough to part well yet). To an onlooker, the contrast between his "darker-than-night" hair and his moonshaded skin would be quite striking.

His vividly intense brown eyes (or so he's been told) roam the scenes around him, people talking, children running, sunbathers, swimmers (in the outside pool), even a few dogs sleeping lazily in the sun. It was a peaceful scene, and it seemed a peaceful day.

As Peter introduced himself to the group of dolphin-watchers, he reflected that, often, in books, movies, and video games, there is a time of peace before the wrenching destruction and struggle that makes up a climax. Only for a moment, did he dwell on this thought, before shaking it away as absurd and unfounded...

Should we begin the shipwreck or wait for more people?

These two women I have met seem so familiar to me. Not at all awkward like strangers stuck in an elevator. I can't explain it except to say that it feels like I have reunited with two long lost friends.

After about an hour of watching the dolphins, I turned to my two new soul sisters, "I have to go change out of this bathing suit, but I would really like the three of us to have dinner tonight. Can you join me?"

I look down to see a familiar book, Interview with a Vampire, I remember seeing a gentleman with it earlier. He looked a little green around the gills, I hope he did not get sick. I decide I will look for him to return his book, and maybe I can help with his sea-sickness.
