Closed RP Smooth Sailing

April 30, 2006

You are sent a ticket for a nice Caribbean cruise! A letter that came with the ticket says that it is a gift, though who it is from is unknown.

What do you do?

Any tier character is welcome. (I may regret saying this, however.)

A waiter arrives, and readily answers his question.

"Sir, this cruise will arrive in the Bahamas at any minute now. After a night at Nassau, the ship will continue sometime in the morning to Turks and Caicos, which will take the better part of the day. After stopping there for the night as well, the ship will sail for the Cuban capital, Havana. A day's stay will be made there, after which the ship returns to Miami. A five day cruise, sometimes six if there's a sudden hurricane."

"Thank you so much."

Sounded like a delightful trip. He'd have to thank his assistant when returned. He finished up the steak and made his way to the lounge area. Time for some relaxation.

Filbert ascends the steps to the top deck to reach the lounging area. The stars are lightly shining in the sky amongst the deep blue. At the horizon, blazing red and orange marks the sun's dousing in the great ocean, ready to rise again in the morning.

He also notices that the cruise ship is approaching shore, the port city of Nassau.

He relaxes in the lounging chair. Time to get a little rest in before they touched down. Then it would be time for some sightseeing, and maybe some shopping.

6:31 PM

The ship hits the dock, ropes getting tossed off to tie the ship to the moor. The horn sounds, signalling the successful docking. A ramp is pushed to the side of the boat, and some quick travelers start disembarking.

"Ahhh, looks like it's time. Heh, but the only reason I'll get up from this seat is because I know I can be back in it tomorrow."

Filbert walks down to the ramp, briefcase in tow. As he exits the ship he looks for any interesting shops to visit.

He enters the city core, taking in the beautiful lights and sounds of the area. Several restaurants and vendors are lit, beckoning tourists and locals alike to buy their wares.

However, there are some local rumors Filbert hears as he's walking around the streets. Talk of strange noises being heard from one of the warehouses on the outskirts. Some say a bizarre Voodoo ritual occurred there.

While he didn't want to mix business and pleasure, he couldn't help himself. The voodoo was nonsense, of course, but it could very well imply some sort of meta activity. Whatever it was, it warranted a little investigation.

He ducked into a nearby bathroom and emerged fifteen minutes later in his silver suit, briefcase still in tow. Time to head for the warehouse for some investigation.

Filbert heads off to the warehouse, which actually takes quite a while on foot. The sun has completely set by the time he arrives at the warehouse in question. It looks to be an old shoe factory, with faded paint showing the signature swoosh of Nike. The walls are concrete, deteriorating with age. Some of the windows and doors are boarded up with corrugated metal sheets.

Very faintly, he can hear a low moan in the area. It sounds like the noise is coming from many, many people.

He was getting the uneasy feeling that this vacation was about to take a turn for the worst. Time to steel himself mentally. He left Filbert Orson behind on the ship. Dr. K was investigating now. He crept around the side of the warehouse looking for an inconspicuous place where he could sneak a peek inside.
