and then Draka's after Druidus.
But Druidus is the GM, so its his desicion.
Personally, I say screw the order, let everyone eat dinner, get to thier rooms, then hit an ice berg, or encounter a torpedo or water-mine, or something.
I already forgot what I did during my last turn.
So does this mean it's Feathers' turn?:help:

Feathers in Hair

Those manically-depressed dolphins are dangerous, I tells ya! Comman decision, everyone! Let's have a quick show of hands as to whether or not we wreck before dinner is had! If we decide to do so, I'll be happy to write up the piece where we do so.


Okay, here we go! Thanks for your patience, everyone! (Please forgive me for my excessive love of using pics to create a scene. It's an addiction, I know!)

Meggie limped across the deck toward the dining room. Never having liked wearing shoes in the first place, let alone high heels, her walk wasn't going well. Her sapphire- blue evening gown

dsp_a6192_sapphire.jpg


revealed a bit more of her than she was comfortable with, but it had been the only gown in the store that looked at all appealling, to her mind. The feathers she wears in her hair are originally turkey, but have been dyed to look like they come from an redtailed hawk. The reddish hue in the feathers matches nicely with her auburn hair, as do the white parts matching the grey streaks she's already sporting. Although water is her favorite element, the avian kingdom is one of her favorites... and perhaps that's why she's quick to notice the raven on the rail. It could be a crow, but she's never been very good at recognizing creatures out of their element, like this bird clearly is.

She slowly moves to the rail, cocking her head this way and that as she approaches."Hello, Grandmother" she says quietly, and is so startled when the bird leaps toward her that she puts an arm in front of her. She's even more startled when the creature grips her wrist with its own fingers, effectively using her as a perch. She raises it to eye-level, looking into its black eyes. "Most honored of messengers" she whispers, in awe "what message do you bring us?"

And then her eyes are drawn, no longer by the raven, but by she sees behind it...

"Found a friend?" I quietly say to the woman in the sapphire blue dress. She looks somehow familiar to me...as if a picture I have seen somewhere but can't quite place right now. She has a raven perched on her arm and seems intent on it. I'd think it strange...if I weren't so use to strange myself. I slowly walk towards the woman, intrigued by the raven perched so calmly upon her arm, intending to introduce myself.

I say kill the boat now, even though Ill take my turn as if it hasn't yet. I also think the turns should be done away with to add to the deepness of the game. A few inconsistances isn't going to hurt it that much.

As I head for the dining area, I remember something, I have been wearing these clothes all day, and I have been doing alot of sweating. I quickly turn around and head for my room instead, and taking a double look at the girl wearing the blue dress. When I get to my room, I quickly shower, put on some deodarant, and put on my black denim jeans, black muscle-shirt, and my leather trench coat. I also put on my Rune Master necklace. I then rub a few drops of Dragons Blood oil on myself. I notice the black hair dye is starting to fade just a bit, and I didn't bring any with me. Oh well. Guess I might just look like an Irish body builder at the end of the trip. I get abit off track thinking how my hair isn't that red, more of a brown with red mixed in with it. A pain in my stomach reminds me of a fine dinner that is waiting.
I get to the dining area, and I notice that everyone else is dressed up in expensive tuxes and dresses. I laugh abit in my mind, just wondering what people are thinking. In a formal occasion, someone walks in, wearing a shirt, jeans, and a trench coat, all solid black. And not to mention the sword neclace with a pentagram on it. But the brochure I was given said nothing about formalities.
I smile abit at that thought, and then the waiter approaches me, then takes me to a table. I order a bottle of red wine and a steak dinner, and as I'm sitting, I can't help but think "I KNOW I've seen some of these people before." I'm going to have to chat with some of them to figure out were I know them from. Well, I'll do that tomorow, it has been a long day.
As I sit and wait for my food, and drinking the fine wine thanks to the fake ID, I get lost in petty thought. After what seemed a good 20 minutes, I hear a loud sound comming from somewhere. No one seems to notice. I couple of minutes later, someone runs in and screams "We've been hit, the ship is sinking!" I quickly stand up and in a slight panick I yell "OH S***!"
As soon as I do that, I notice people are staring at me, not runing and screaming. I fell asleep and was dreaming. I quickly apologize for my outbreak, and I say something about the wine being strong. I can't help but be almost terrified by that dream. It seemed so real, like it was actually hapening. I even physically reacted. The feeling of dread and death are all I can feel right now. I pray it is the wine, but I know it takes much, much more than a half glass of wine to even get me to very slightly feel drunk. It would take alittle more than a half bottle of vodka to do that.
I can't help but think, that maybe this night, Death will show that he may not be proud, but he is indeed mighty and dreadful. He is not the slave to anyone, but rather we are at his mercy. Stupid poem.

(Hehehee, 'so used to strange myself'! Wonderfully put! I'll be switching tenses, at least until we decide when to crash.)

I'm slightly startled by the woman who quietly approaches me, and turn my eyes just enough to look at her while not startling the bird. Her emerald gown catches the light reflecting off the waves, and I catch a glimpse of a kindred soul when I see the necklace she wears. I smile at her, wondering if I've met her before. Having an awful memory for names and faces, I usually never recognize a person but she looks quite familiar.

Sorry for my absence. It's the damned internet service here. Very sporadic nowadays. We crash... Very shortly.

There was an explosion, Peter was sure of it. He had been in his room reading, and had realized that he was extremely late for dinner, he had rushed to prepare. But something went wrong; something went horribly wrong. There had been an astonishingly loud noise, and then horrible creaking sounds. He had run out on deck to see what was happening.

It was only then that he realized it was not an explosion, but a collision. A collision with another ship. How was this possible? With radar, sonar, and radio, there should have been no way for this to occur. But there it was. RIght in front of his eyes, a fiery maelstrom of chaotic carnage, blood, and terror-stricken screams. He rememebered a quote from a Greek philosopher for some reason, then, "A collision at sea can ruin your entire day."

"No time for mindless wandering," he thought, as he started towards the nearest group of people, "We need an organized evacuation."

But as he started running, he noticed, out of the corner of his eye, that that people on the other ship weren't panicking like on this one. They were throwing ropes to this one... They were boarding the cruise ship!

Still shakin up from the quick vision, I decide to skip diner, and get some fresh air and try to think things through. I walk outside onto the deck. As a gaze out onto the horizon, I see another boat approaching. What are they doing? I think, but it becomes known to me what they are, and what they are doing. They ram into the side of the cruise ship, and start to board it.
Pirates, but how? I thought they would have been non-existant anymore. I guess some small rogue groups could exist today. I quickly lower my energy output level, to make myself less noticable. I snuck my athame on board, if I can only get to my room without getting noticed. It's very sharp, and it can easily slice through things alot tougher than flesh and bone. Good thing I'm wearing slighty baggy pants. Looks like I might end up fighting.
Great Goddess Inana, let me be swift and silent like the shadows. I silently say as I gather energy from the nocturnal ether.

(pssst...Meggie...my dress is black ;), with silver sparkles that I suppose can catch the light )

What the blazes was that? I whirl around to see men towards the bow of the ship boarding from what appears to be a pirate ship. A PIRATE ship??? In this day and age? How is that possible? I turn back around and notice the lifeboat hanging off the side of the ship a little behind my new friend and without a word grab her arm and pull her towards the lifeboat.

"Come quickly, under the tarp, get in"

I pull her under the tarp of the lifeboat with me and crouch down to avoid being seen. I peek under the edge of the tarp to keep an eye on what is going on. I just can't believe what I am seeing. People start to come out of the dining hall and their rooms, obviously not prepared for what they were about to see and the screaming commences.

a sudden uproar of screams resounded through out the dinning hall as the boat shook trumendously (spelling?) the waiters trying to be heard and pointing everyoen towards the emergancy exits

i see the same innocent small child i saw earlier fallen on the floor crying, alone, i grab my trenchcaot, sweep up the girl into my arms, and wrapping her in my coat as i walk i head in the direction of the exits

my mind racing with concern for where this girls parents could be. i hear another chorus of screams coming from the exits, my intuitin screaming at me to stop, turn, and run - i did

as i reached teh other side of the door i turn on my heel to glimps a small roughed man with what looked like a real blood stained sword weaving in and out of the crowd, limbs flailing and falling like worms of the earth

i fled with the cmall child in my arms down the memorized corridors to my cavern, screams still echoing in my head, i know not if they are still screams of the masses or just in my memory

as i reached my cabin i tore through the door, layign the child on the bed i race through my bag, bringing out an ancient looking medium sized hammer (strictly forbidden by the cruise ships code of conduct :woohoo: )

smashing the small window in my cabin, i hear heavy booted footsteps coming down the corridore, i smashed the window, and hoping beyond all reason for some sort of help, i swept the warm, now sleeping child into my arms once again, wrapped tightly in my coat, and barrel-rolled out the smashed window, gashing my side on the shards of glass, pain searing through my body i fall into the cold waters .............

Peter ran on, looking for ways to help, but soon realized that there was nothing he could do. These pirates, or brigands, or whatever, were systematically slaughtering everyone on the ship. I turned around looking for an escape route, but instead, smashed into a rather strong-looking man with mainly black hair. "Whoa!" I shout over the tumult, as I catch sight of the dagger-like weapon in his hand, "Are you thinking of fighting those men?"

I came through the dining room door, just as the commotion started. I caught a glimpse of one of the girls I was meeting for dinner, but then something happened to the boat, I'm not sure, my brain just cannot sort out exactly what is going on. People are scattering and screaming and running past me. Then, Jules sweeps by me, and I grab her arm "what's going on?" I ask, but she can't answer me, her mouth opens, but no words come out.

We run down the hallway with everyone else for a minute, then I hear someone saying that pirates have boarded. Could that be right? I suddenly realize, that we should not be caught in this crowd of people, I pull Jules with me down a corridor, there I see that someone left their cabin door open, so we duck in there. "Did you hear something about pirates?" "I think we should wait here for a bit to see what's going on, I do not feel safe in that crowd of people."

flailing in the cold dark waters trying desperatley to kep the bundled child above water level, pain still searing through my body as the smell of blood fills my senses, i hear multiple splashes around me

"could that be ....... they must have been attracted to the noise" i thought desperatley as i saw dark barrel shaped figures rising out of the water, slowley fading into darkness i could feel my body letting go of the tightly wrapped bundel, giving into the pains and aches of my body, feeling the raising of a strong dolphine underneath me, darkness was consuming me

as i rose and fell through the waves, flat out on this dolphines back, i was reaching out for the bundle, confused and unaware of fires now rising on the boat, i focused entirely on holding the small girl

my grip failing, my strength wavering, my focus slipping away like sand, i slipped my hand through one of the big metal rings of the coat, it spread out on the waters surface, the heavey weight slipped, and sank. Those few second lasted a lifetime, and my body failed and also fell into a dreamlike state.

I fall into a deep trance. I am one with the night. I swiftly run to my quarters. I dig out my 18 inch mini-katana. My brothers, I say as I turn to a wolf figurine, I am in a terrible situation. It has called me to use my sacred blade to draw blood. I have been modifing this blade for years, thinking it would never see real combat. The day I never thought would happen has come. Help me move with your swiftness. I use my belt to fasten my trench coat. I have fallen deep into the trance. I am no longer myself. The situation has awakened a demon within me. A demon that, last time it took over, caused a few bad things to happen. I walk out of my quarters, ready to kill.
I walk out and encounter someone who seems lost. He ask me if I am thinking about fighting. I respond in words that aren't my own, "Those SOB's will know this isn't some easy loot. They will end up dying." I think, maybe I should have went to a doctor to get meds for split personality. I keep walking in the dark. I keep thinking maybe this is another dream. It seems I am me, and someone else. I hear the screams of a women in one room. I open the door to find a woman about to be raped. I sneak behind the pirate, who is too preoccupied to hear anything, and I quickly reach around his neck with my blade, and slice his throat. WHAT HAVE I DONE!? Is all I can think, as my body leaves the room, looking for another victim. I come into what looks like it was the dining room. Dead and mutilated bodies are everywhere. A pirate with a sword, who is bloodied sees me enter. He says something to me about joining them, but I talk about other things, and when his gaurd is down, I throw my blade at him. It sticks deeply into his head. He drops over, and I pick up the blade and put it away. Thoughts that are not mine keep flooding my head. Have I gone insane? The boat is thiers, but they won't have it, a voice says into my head. I start walking somewhere. I should have heeded the warnings that channeling without using something to protect yourself is bad. I kill everything in my path. I finally get to a room that looks like an engine room. I walk to something, but everything is hazy. I slowly slip out of awareness. When I come to, I am myself again. I can remember abit of what happened, but everything is hazy. I'll not call upon aid like that again. But I notice a loud whine coming from the engine, and alot of smoke being emited. I must have done something to jam it. I quickly run up to the deck, and knowing that engine can blow at any moment I run to the side of rail, ready to jump off. But I hesitate. Should I live, after what I have done. It would have been possible for people to live, and for the ship to not have been destroyed. I think, maybe I should stay. But then something hits me in the back of the head. Everything is going black. I think I am going over the rail, but I don't know. Very rapidly, the events of the day flash before my eyes. I fell a tremendous impact on my back, and then everything goes black.

I peer around and watch for my break. People are being killed or jumping ship. It has become quite obvious that staying here is not an option, but I'm not exactly jumping ship like this. It's now or never. I feel for my unwilling companion, but at this point I hope she understands...if she wants to live she will. I grab her hand and pull her out of the boat with me and back onto the deck. Checking my routes I make a clean break for the door to the passageway to my room. Damn! Two heading right towards us! I let go of her and drop down in front of them just in time to stick one leg out and take out the shins of one of the pirates and grab the other on my way down. I quickly swing around behind the one I have a hold of and grab his head and snap his neck. The other lunges at my new-found friend and I tackle him from behind and quickly enact the same fate on him. My friend seems a bit in shock, but no time for soothing her. I hop up and pull her down the passage and just make it in my room as I see another couple pirates turn the corner...luckily I don't think they saw us.

I grab the trunk from under my bed and pull out a few things. I strip my dress off and kick off my shoes and tell her to do the same. I throw an extra shirt and pair of jeans towards her and told her to change. I put on my cami pants and proceed to fill the pockets and zip them up. Compass, pocket knife, Swiss Army knife, and all my basic essentials. Good thing I was planning on camping at the stay over on the islands when we got there. Tank top on and hair yanked back in ponytail I turn and look at her in my t-shirt and jeans...dang she looks familiar.

"Let's go"

I open my door a crack and check to see if the coast is clear. Hopefully that lifeboat is still there and fine. We make a run for it and somehow, miraculously make it back to the boat with no incident. We climb in and as I cut the ropes to release us I tell her to grab the two life preservers nearest to her. There are people in the water and if we can save any of them I intend to. The boat releases and we splash down in the water.
