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
boarding the ferry & ferry ride
WHEN
saturday, march 12th, between 6 PM and 7:30 PM

Cass feels a little insulted by the goose's rejection.

"Hey!" he says, and then because he is not very good with animals, promptly loses the pack of edibles in his pocket to the goose.

"Oh shit oh shit oh shit shit shit," Cass panics and tries to give the goose the Heimlich maneuver, not wanting to be the guy who killed one of their hosts(?) before even getting to the island.

the goose hacks up a now (mostly) empty pack.
the following honks it makes are ungodly and v, v mad.

Cass quickly kicks the pack away and then looks around to see if anyone else saw this.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, okay? I'll get you a better bagel next time, just don't ruin this for me, all right?" he whispers desperately.

Peter is (unhelpfully) laughing his ass off. He weebles and wobbles on the railing but doesn't fall over.

Cass tries to throw the half eaten bag of goose edibles at him.

Peter thinks he's going to look VERY cool as he reaches out to nonchalantly catch the bag out of the air. But he doesn't and the bag hits him square in the face, landing on the deck.

"Thanks for the free snacks, dude," he says, driven by his ego to pick gummies off the ground and eat them without looking to see what they actually are.

"Cool, let me know what the inside of a goose's mouth tastes like," Cass says back, secretly pleased that Peter is disposing of the evidence just in case a high goose starts dive bombing everyone. It wasn't him, guys!

This whole scenario caught Ava's attention from the moment Cass began to give the goose the Heimlich maneuver. She looks amused but also a bit disturbed.

"I don't think you were supposed to do that to a goose."

He looks ashamed of himself. "I'm sorry, I missed goose day in first aid class."

"Mhm, that was certainly helpful," she teases. "I've got my eye on you, cat."

"If I were you, I'd keep my eye on that goose because it just ate a shitton of edibles." he teased back.

Barrett openly winces, but it's unclear if he's wincing for Cass or the goose.
