This Grand Hano Resort sounds lovely. I think I will be spending the vast majority of my time there.

This is my first port of call since I've arrived, and I must say I'm excited. The names of the places sound very Hawaiian, however I'm at a loss as to what a Pokemon is.

I don't suppose anyone on board is qualified to conduct Easter Mass.

I have watched the stars from the balcony. I have been trying to decide if they are the same as home, but there's so many, I don't know. The ship has felt quiet. Loss makes quiet. Sometimes it makes too much noise in places where it is not. I am sorry for those who are sad. I hope your hearts will feel peace soon and that the quiet or noise lessens. It is hard to forget what is lost, but I have found that remembering what was good helps with the sadness. I know everyone is different and different things help different people, but I hope whatever helps will make things easier in some small way.

I hope I have not upset anyone to say so.

DM to Albus this evening after the fighting is over

I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend. Were you able to find Credence? If you need me to mind Helena for a bit please let me know.

[ooc: backdated to early Saturday]

I know we have people taking care of keeping the food together, but considering the number of people, I would like to do an inventory of what we have. I know the magical people can summon water and replicate food, but rationing is important at least until we get to another port and are able to stock up again. We don't know how long this is going to be and I'd like to help with that if there are no objections.

The shops on this ship have a pretty good selection as far as clothing goes. Not quite as high-end as what I'm accustomed to, but for now, they'll work. I'm not spending an entire cruise wearing the same outfit everyday.

Following Rogue's lead: Night patrols. Sign up. Or don't. Just use the form you if you do.

And don't tell me to put you anywhere I like. Because that's too much work and I'm trying to minimize that shit for myself. And if you're not interested in showing up for patrols anymore, just say so, so I can drop you from the schedule.

Thanks.

Excuse me, but I'm having a bit of a panic attack. Again.

DM to Albus

I had a very nice time last night. Thank you for escorting me.

DM to Mycroft

Did you enjoy yourself last night? You looked very smart.

DM to Tony Stark (MCU)

So that's where you snuck off to last night. Learn anything useful?

DM to Credence

I was glad to meet you last night. I didn't realize there was anyone on this boat who was from the same time period as I am.

Has anyone seen a pair of little girl's ruby slippers anywhere? Hang on, I have a pic.

[Attached is a pic of these ruby slippers]

Princess Lian took them off at the Ball and didn't tell anyone so her silly daddy didn't pick them up. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help look for them or actually finds them.

( She turned to the sunlight, and shook her yellow head, And whispered to her neighbor: “Winter is dead.” )

Who's in need for a date to this ball? Comment here with your name, your romantic preferences, a few of your likes, maybe your age bracket, and let's see what we can do about getting you a date.

Oh, a ball. Finally a chance to wear some of the beaded frocks that arrived with me. I think the white one will go nicely with the tiara I bought in Camelot. It's a pity I don't have my maid here. She's able to arrange my hair so much better than I can.

It seems the only other thing that I'll need is a handsome gentleman. Are there even any decent single ones on this boat?

This stop is making me particularly miss my son. It reminds me of all the stories I used to read to him...

... Anyway, I've had a lovely time. Camelot is like a dream. It's nice to be able to experience the Middle Ages without all of the general uncleanliness that went along with the time period.

Tomorrow I'm heading to Agrobah as that's a culture I've never experienced before. Is riding a camel anything like riding a horse?

DM to Henry Fitzroy

You looked magnificent at the tournament and took your loss with grace, even if I personally think you were robbed.

I could easily become accustomed to this.

None of the merchants I've spoken to are willing to sell me a magic carpet, but I'm continuing my search.

I managed to sweet talk a magic bean off of a dashing lady pirate in the Infinite Forest. Anyone fancy taking it for a little spin?

Oh joy. Another fairy tale land with dubious plumbing.

[ FILTERED TO 21+ ]
I need a night out, where I'm being told I'm pretty by a beautiful person and being plied with good wine. Multiple beautiful people encouraged and welcomed.

EDIT: Captain America (the single one), your presence & services are required at the Meridian Lounge tonight.

It hasn’t taken long but I already miss the green of Middle Earth, the hills and valleys and the horses in Rohan. The air was so clean and fresh. Being on this ship reminds me of when we used to cross the Atlantic to visit my mother’s family. It got dreadfully boring after a day or two.

DM to Mycroft

If I’ve told a vampire that I’d like to sleep with him, that must mean I’ve gone mad, haven’t I?

DM to Henry Fitzroy

Oh my God, you mean to drink my blood while we’re having sex, don’t you?

I applaud our most recent hosts on the complete absence of dead giant squid.

The veritable buffet of intimate company was also most welcome.

Greetings! I am King Rhy Maresh, of the great country of Arnes. My country has enjoyed a long-standing tradition of communication with our closely related worlds, but this is the first I've heard of so many others, and the first time I've had the honor of getting to introduce myself to other worlders in person. I should very much like to meet all of you, and would be happy to accept any requests for formal, diplomatic audiences.

I also hope that if any of you should ever find yourselves in the country of Arnes, you will make your way to London and allow me to show you our hospitality.

And now that I've gotten the official things out of the way: I would be equally happy to meet you as friends, without any need for standing on ceremony or official titles. Please feel free to call me Rhy. I promise I'm not as stuffy as my king voice probably makes me sound.

Oh, and I shouldn't forget - you may have already met two others from Arnes, Kell and Alucard, who have been here longer than I have. Let me know if I need to apologize on their behalf; they both have a knack for finding trouble when I'm not around.

HAN SOLO + ALUCARD EMERY

Hello, Mr. Solo! I've been informed that I will be joining Alucard in your shared quarters. I look forward to meeting you in person.

They really need to work on their welcome wagon in this place, cause listen: I don’t know where anybody else came from, but in my neighborhood, if a guy grabs your arm and sticks something into it? You deck him and hope whatever it is don’t slow you down much. I could only manage one outta two, so hopefully my brothers’ll still be proud. Wherever they are.

Speaking of, where the hell am I? Besides the obvious, of course.

Just a reminder that classes start again tomorrow at 9.

All reports on Middle Earth are due by Wednesday at 9am. I really ain't wanting anyone to miss out on wherever we go next so please get it in on time and attend classes.

If we need to add anyone new to classes please let Scott Summers or I know so we can get them registered.

And with that I'm gonna console my 8 month old about the fact we ain't allowed to bring a horse back with us. Hit me up if'n ya got questions.

WHO: Mary Crawley and Mycroft Holmes
WHEN: Midday, Feb 4th
WHERE: Cafe
WHAT: Having tea and learning about the place she’s now stuck in.

Another space portal. Let's not do that again.

Sentient nursebots, huh? I know what it looks like, but this one's not on me. Seriously, though. Someone has dramatically upped their LMD game. What are we talking, here? Thing 1 and Thing 2 are not particularly forthcoming. Programming could use some work.

So tell me, who else is on the guest list for this involuntary pleasure cruise? And is there scotch?

These Elven robes are of such a fine quality material that I wish to buy several of them to take back with me to the ship. The rental one, while the most beautiful, also has given me pointy ears, which I cannot say I am fond of. I look dreadful.

I think I'm going to visit Rohan, as it sounds lovely and there are apparently horses to be ridden. Does anyone else ride?

For your information, donning the garments of one of the races of Middle Earth transforms your appearance into that race. But only clothes from specific shops in Grey Havens. I now look like an elf.

Any artists around? Apologies if I missed any similar inquiries, but I'm looking for either ship offered activities related to painting or sketching, perhaps even sculpting though my experience there is limited, or models to draw.

There's only so much dancing and drinking that can be done before it becomes monotonous.

I have never seen a device like this in my life. Am I using it correctly? I suppose I'll have to wait for a response.

I found the reception here to be highly unfriendly. Forcing me to have an inoculation against my will. Such indignity! As if I chose to come here, on the strangest holiday cruise I have ever seen. Is there even a way to go home?

There also seems to be some sort of mistake. My roommate appears to be a man.
