the ferry ride
WHAT'S UP?

this is the second of three posts that will welcome your characters into the game! please feel free to use this post to do all manners and styles of roleplaying. if you wanna do threads? go for it. if you want to do dialogue-only posts? go for it! take this as seriously or as lazily as you want.

this particular ic/ooc can be used for all interactions that take place on the ferry to the island. the trip itself will take about an hour and a half, which means your characters will get to watch the sun set on the ferry and will arrive at the island when it's dark, at 7:30 PM.

at approximately 5:55, a small, quaint little ferry begins to pull up to the side of the dock. The ship comes to a still and there's a stretch of time where nothing happens at all.

After a minute, an anchor is dropped. A bridge connects to the land without anyone manning it, as if by magic. Another minute of silence passes before a voice that sounds more staticy than human speaks over the various speakers on the ferry. "Ahoy! I'm Captain Clifford Sharon. Mind yer step and yer luggage. If ya brought any vehicles along with you, leave'um behind. No room for them on this beaut. We'll be setting off in ten minutes! Welcome aboard!"

on the top of the Captain's Cabin, a huge fuckoff goose sits, flapping their wings and honking enthusiastically.

we will be posting part three tomorrow (saturday!), but if you haven't wrapped up everything you'd like to do by then you're welcome to continue keeping at it for as long as you'd like.

we've included a section for y'all to fish around for meta clues, but please be specific in whatever it is you're keen to do or we'll monkey's paw you. we'll probably try to monkey's paw you anyway. the mods will then roll for you and attribute your number (while taking character powers in mind) to an autofail/pass basis so GET READY.

WHAT

WHEN
saturday, march 12th, between 6 PM and 7:30 PM

once they're well out into the open sea, tink would fly up and start to head in the general direction that the boat is heading. she wants to see the island before they actually GET to the island.

Indy is very enthusiastic, and wants to check out every bit of the ferry boat. She does a little meandering, but eventually curiosity truly gets the better of her.

Even with that huge fuckoff goose sitting at the top of the Captain's Cabin, Indy goes to see if she can get a peek in the window, or a glimpse at who's in charge, or maybe if she's lucky, even find someone who knows what's going on to ask some questions of! Will the goose talk to her, if no one else?

you rolled a SEVENTEEN!

as indy climbs the steps to the third floor, the goose honks and flaps its wings before settling. it doesn't appear particularly imposing, nor does it seem to mind that she's hanging out on the third floor. in fact, it seems a little happy for the company!

the curtains to the captain's cabin are a mixture of closed and open. if indy chooses to peek inside, she will find the cabin empty. i guess even captains need to pee...?

... or poop, if she sticks around a while.

eventually, the goose honks at her and flies down to hassle her for snacks, and it isn't afraid to get aggressive about it.

Indy is disappointed not to find someone she can ask questions of, but since she doesn't have any snacks to share, when the goose gets aggressive, she retreats back downstairs.

He figures that the goose is probably a ruse to get people thinking all the magic happens there... Dylan would try to find some clues by opening doors he can find to determine if they are just normal closet space or suspicious closet space/portals to other worlds.

you rolled a SEVENTEEN!

most of the doors dylan comes across are locked. however, a fairly narrow-looking door gives way with ease. it appears to be a broom closet of sorts! inside are a number of cleaning products, and it appears as though they haven't been used in a while. things are dusty. nozzles are stiff. there's a lot of rust. strings are stiff and break easily.

the only thing in there that looks recently used is the mop and a new looking bottle of pine sol

you rolled an ELEVEN!

the goose looks at the bagel for a long while, unblinking.

it takes a bite.
and it lets the bagel fall out of its mouth and begins to honk, its beak going for cass's pockets.

Marty walked around peering at walls and over railings looking for anything written on the ferry, like a name or a year. If she found something she'd do a quick google or two and eat through some of her data plan.

call it bad luck, but the side of the ship marty started on had very little to look at. some rust here, some chipped paint there...

it wasn't too long into her casual look around that she starts to feel very, very sea sick.

The honking is too much for Walter's ears, and some may catch him rubbing his temples. He tries to bring out some temperance and patience in the goose with his power.

cell service is spotty out at sea so it takes a while for google to even load. there's a lot of Sharon Cliffords on facebook, mostly women in their 40s and older. there's only public profile of a man in his 50s named Clifford Sharon. he lives in nevada and likes NASCAR and sharing clickbait articles. his relationship status is It's Complicated.

Cookie is nosy as fuck, but her biggest curiosity is the horrible goose.

She peers around the cabin windows looking for clues before approaching the goose directly and saying, "Hi friend. I'm Cookie. Who are you?"

Ava does her own snooping around by the Captain's Cabin. The static-y voice caught her attention so now she wants to see/check if there's actually anyone manning or steering this ferry. She's not too bothered by the honking goose. Might even try to pet it????

by the time ava makes her way up to the captain's cabin, unlike with indy, the curtains are drawn and only the main window that looks out to the ocean is open. there is no wrap around deck that leads to that window, and ava is unable to look inside.

the goose, however, accepts these pets and tries to scrabble its way into ava's arms to be held

while noah does not find the captain, while exploring the inside of the first level he does come across a painted portrait. the little placard beneath it reads, 'captain clifford sharon.'
