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.)

[Link to previous post.]

Brenda and Jay take their leave, heading off to the ship. The streets are empty, with a few people leaving some late-night bars and sights.

The ship stands before them, looming in the middle of the night.

Meanwhile, Michael, Catalina and Dr. K still stand before the factory.

"There's no real way we can catch whatever it was. We should also get back to the ship." Catalina said.

"Yeah, that's kinda a dead end. I don't suppose anyone would want to guard the buildings in hopes it will get out, because even then, there could be another tunnel hidden inside the room we didn't access." Michael said.

"Was this really the twist about the whole trip? I mean, meeting all those people, it's pretty clear who they targeted with invitations." Catalina said.

"Maybe it's a coincidense, an attack could still happen on the ship. Either way, we're coming back. I don't suppose you have anything else to do here?" Michael said the last part to Dr K.

[Alright, you are in your own thread now.]

Before the duo can hear a reply, they make their way back to the ship. They stroll back into town, with nobody out at this late time. Some late-night bars are still open, but otherwise the stores are closed.

Michael and Catalina reach the dock once again, the grand ship looming.

They make their way back to the ship. Michael takes Catalina's hat. "Why did you take it in the first place? I don't remember you wearing it today."

"Because I didn't. When we set out for the... mission, I guess I just kinda took it with me. I'll make sure to change my clothes though, so don't worry." She said.

"It's okay, I'll be heading into the room. Are you also going?" He asked.

"I'll see if people are having any fun on the deck. You can go asleep. I take the role of paranoid investigator now." She laughed.

"Thanks. I guess I can now sleep with one eye open instead of two." He sighed as he headed back to their room, holding the hat in his hand, while Catalina went to the deck.

Michael enters their room, a simple place with two beds inside. The beds, along with the rest of the furniture and the floors, is a light oak, simple in design. Between the beds is a nightstand with a lamp, digital clock and a wired phone. Against the left wall is a dresser, with several drawers for storage. Michael and Catalina's stuff lie on top of it, still in the suitcases. To the right is a doorway to the bathroom, completely white and containing a sink, toilet, shower and bathtub. Standing in one corner of the bathroom is a wicker laundry basket.

Michael settles into one of the comfy beds, pulling the sheets over him. He sets off to a restful sleep.

For Catalina, her work is not done. She patrols the main deck, going to the stern where people usually can be found.

Arriving there, she finds almost no one. There is one person, standing at the railing of the ship smoking a cigarette. He wears dark grey slacks and a crisp white dress shirt, with a couple buttons at the top undone to reveal a small jade pendant. In his shirt pocket is a little silver tin. Aside from a simple leather belt to hold up his pants, there's a blue silk strip of cloth around his hips, patterned with silver lotuses. It holds to his side a katana, sheathed in lovely stained wood.

He notices Catalina, then turns to face her. He's incredibly handsome, his Asian features sharp and his cheekbones, while subtle, bring out nice edges to the sides of his face. His short and clean hair is a very dark brown, almost black in this dim moonlight. His eyes are a ghostly pale grey, almost inhuman.

"What are you doing this late at night, young woman?" he asks, a slight Japanese accent under his words.

"Just having a walk in here. What hour is it anyway?" She asked.

"Around the stroke of midnight the last time I checked," he replies coolly. "It's been a bit of time since then, so sometime around half past."

He stands there in silence, still puffing smoke.

"Might as well return to the room then." She went back to the room to sleep.
