Oblivion ::: An Original RP

Who: Francesca and Callum
When: After dinner
Where: Arete deck

Dinner had been quite satisfactory, and Francesca had foregone any after-dinner drinks at a club, choosing instead to take her glass of wine to go and get some work done. It was such a nice night out, however, that she collected her laptop from her room and went up to the spa deck. She found a comfortable lounger and settled in, having changed into dark skinny jeans, a pale gray silk tank and a black blazer - not discounting the possibility that she might still go out when she made her choices. The glass of wine was settled on the table beside her and her shoes - adorable black patent peep-toes - placed neatly on the ground at her side.

Legs crossed at the ankles, she pinned her hair back into a loose chignon, booted her computer and connected to the ship's wireless, quickly establishing a secure connection to her firm's network. She'd only just begun to pull up the files she needed when one of her smartass coworkers, apparently deciding she wasn't allowed to work on her vacation, tried to kick her off the network. Lips pressed into a thin line, Francesca's fingers flew across the keyboard. "Unbelievable," she muttered, keys tapping at approximately machine-gun rate.

Who: Open to all
When: 7 PM
Where: Circean Delight

Even with all (or, most) of the passengers inside of Circean Delight, the grand restaurant managed not to look anywhere close to over-crowded - or even crowded at all. It was the height of luxury, with more than enough room for people to mingle between tables and not get in the way. After people found their tables and placed their dinner orders, a mature-looking gentleman in uniform took the stage. The stage itself was on the second level, but just by the rail, where it could be viewed by all on both floors. After introducing himself as Captain Theodore Hill, he heartily welcomed everyone to the Nausicaä's maiden voyage.

He proceeded tot ell a summarized version of the tale of The Odyssey, with much emphasis on Nausicaä's role as a saviour to Odysseus. Smiling, he closed the speech, "And so she told Odysseus, 'Never forget me, for I gave you life.' I hope to share with you all an experience you will never forget, and will cherish for the rest of your life." As the room applauded, Captain Hill stepped down to enjoy his meal at the captain's table.
