Oblivion ::: An Original RP

Mary and Callum dynamic trouble duo.

Who: Lily, Cary, Flint and OPEN
When: evening, through the 1920's party
Where: E Deck -- Cult of Dionysus
What: As agreed, Flint plays the piano. In front of people.

( I've heard all the melodies, from the blues to rhapsodies. )

Who: Ios and Helena
When: Afternoon
Where: The deck on C-deck



Helena had been looking forward to seeing Iosef since leaving him the previous night. Luckily she was able to get out of the apartment now that the lights were actually on and the electricity seemed to be working. Thankfully her father hadn't felt the need to keep her locked in the room all day. She insisted that she'd be just fine and wanted to explore the ship some more, letting her dad know that she had Sundance with her if anything happened and reminding him she'd been just fine even when the power had gone out. She was a good girl, after all, he should trust her. Not that he would if he knew she was going to meet up with some boy he'd never met, but she neglected to give him that information.

( well, maybe I do )

Who: Brodie and Eddie
When: afternoon
Where: Thalia's Diner

It was a quiet afternoon and Brodie was happily sitting at the diner nursing a vanilla milkshake. It was a really good shake, too, but as it often happened Brodie found himself lost in thought, which meant he'd momentarily forgotten about his shake and was busy thinking about...his birthday. Two days from now he was going to turn twenty-five, and he just didn't know whether to celebrate or not. On one hand, he hardly ever made a fuss about it, he wasn't that type of person. Brodie didn't like to pressure people into giving a shit about him having been born, although it was as good an occasion as any other. However, these were special circumstances; he was at sea, at a luxury cruise and with all the nice places around it was kind of a shame not to go all out. Or as out as Brodie would go, in any case.

He wondered if the other band mates even knew it was his birthday, or cared. Not that they should care, exactly, but he did wonder. Maybe if he told them they should meet up and have a drink - or ten - they wouldn't mind. He'd have to think some more about that.

What: Not vomiting... or so we'd like to hope.

( Oh my God, these aren't my pants... )

Who: Claire and OPEN
When: Noon
Where: Thalia's Dinner

Although she liked the ship and wasn't too averse to the passengers, Claire was already sick of the library. She wanted to be back in Boston, or maybe settling in at New York Public. The idea that she was basically stuck on a ship didn't hit her until that morning and she was only a little scared at the idea of being stuck in the elevators after last night. Now, she wasn't completely claustrophobic but sometimes she would start to hyperventilate if she didn't get out of a particularly small space or crowded room.

Claire loved the sun and probably would have been out in it right now if she wasn't so horribly pale and prone to sunburn. It happened so easily it was hard for her to spend extended amounts of time in the sun. So she settled for cheery and adorable Thalia's Dinner, sitting at the bar in front of a half eaten burger and a cup of tea, watching the people mill around and recognizing very few of them.

Who: Delia and Flint
When: 6:30PM
Where: Arete Deck

After spending more than half the day in her room, pointedly ignoring the envelopes stuffed with the evidence of her father's doing, Delia decided to move her work outside. She was sick of staring at the walls of her room and only catching the occasional whiff of salty sea air that blew into her room. Delia had always loved the ocean, so calm and still, yet at the same time angry and dangerous. She loved the duality of it, how it could love you one moment and hate you the next.

Gathering up her things, slipping on a hat and sunglasses, Delia took to the ship. There was a slight aversion to the Sun deck, Delia chose this time to find a bench along Arete Deck and make herself comfortable. At the last moment she scooped up the disgusting images, unsure what she was going to do with them but at the same time, tired of trying to pretend they weren't real.

She settled on a bench facing the ever fading sun and took one long breath before slipping the photos out. Delia could feel her stomach twist and her eyes burn as she flipped through them, shoving them aside when she couldn't take anymore. Her phone rang and her laptop flashed messages at her. Shutting them both off, Delia crossed her legs and closed her eyes behind her sunglasses, letting the sun radiate through her.

Who: Kass and Jude
When: Lunchtime
Where: Circean Delight Kitchens
Rating: Language

Despite her quickness to leap upon any mistake, Kass was usually pleased enough to simply nod and let a chef move on by without comment, if she felt they had done well enough. This morning? No, not so much. In a rare mood, even for her, of a dark cloud over her head thanks to subverted plans from the night before, thanks to the blackout, Kass was pretty much hissing and growling at any who dared cross her path. She'd been promised a night with great potential for naughty fun, but had been quite disappointed with the turn out on that particular round of drinks.

Kass never did handle disappointment all that well.

So it was not with any pleased expression that she spotted an intruder in her territory. Instead it was with narrowed blue eyes, glinting like chips of ice, that she began moving towards the blonde man, "What do you think you're doing here?"

DATE: Monday, December 28, 2009.

WEATHER: Warm and sunny! Wow! What a change!

EVENTS: At 2:30 in the morning, the power finally comes back on. Many apologies are made from the crew, and later in the morning every passenger has a voucher for free dinner at any restaurant.

There are several nighttime events to choose from today. At 7 PM is a poker tournament at Tyche's Favor. Ossa is repeating its 90s theme night, since things were cut short yesterday. But if the 90s aren't vintage enough for you, Cult of Dionysus is celebrating the Roaring 20s. They're really going all out for this theme night, complete with jazz music, swing dancing, and the entire staff dressed in styles of the late 20s. The party goes on til closing time at 1 AM. Luckily staff and passengers were given an itinerary of on-ship events several weeks ago, so people had advance warning in case they wanted to pack costumes.

It is still okay to finish scenes from the last gameday. Contact a mod if you have anything you feel should be listed in this or future time updates.
