((OOC: I'll send a family... somebody get this started... NOW))

Danya Shevreymtov stretched his arms as he exited his cabin. Walking down the hallway towards the pool, he noticed several people staring at him. He shrugged, continuing down the hall. When he got out into the warm sunlight, he cast away his towel and jumped in the pool, his speedo nearly bursting at the seams.

Whether your character lives or dies is 100% up to you.

takes place modern era and I will allow non-humans as long as they are humanoid (meaning to 15 foot tall monsters) Klingons are OK

*tag* Also after VA meeting

We're out than, haha, no dinosaurs on this trip. LMAO

John von Schlong, a German porn star from the Island of Rose, relaxed on the poolside, with his oversized muscles and incredibly tight speedo, sat there. He looked on as the man's speedo ripped in two, he laughed heartily, pointing and laughing really. He spoke, with that overexaggerated Austrian accent.

"Look at the girly man! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

((OOC: Eh...))

Captain Smith's cabin

charaters in this scene
J. Bruce Ismay, Chairman of IDF White Star LIne
Captain James Edward Smith
Thomas Andrews, chief designer of the ship, President at Harland and Wolff

Smith: Glad to have you here Mr. Ismay

Ismay: YOu are my best Captain James. I could never have this ship's inaugural voyage without you.

Smith: What do you want now?

Ismay: I want to set a new transatlantic speed record

Smith: Is that wise? I mean this ship can do it, but I want to at least work in the turbines a while first.

Ismay: We are going to do it on the maiden voyage.

Smith: OK, Titanic can do it, but I worry.

Ismay: about what?

Smith: Ice Sir!

Andrews: That is rubbish Captain. Titanic is unsinkable. Nothing will sink her, not even God.

Smith: I fear you are testing fait now Mr. Andrews.

Ismay: either way your orders are clear

Smith: Yes sir, we will set the record.

Ismay: good, Titanic departs in 36 hours.

Smith: OK, I'll informe Officers Murdoch and Murrow.

Cafe Parisian, B Deck, starboard side

"Look at the view of the city," said Jon Williams, a Mossad agent. He was on a mission, what for he didn't know yet.

"Ach! I see it," responded his German acquaintance. They had met about 3 hours before over a game of poker in the ship's smoking lounge.

"It is a beautiful city indead," said David Goldberg, WIlliam's boss.

WIlliams and Goldberg were put on the ship because there were reports of Palestinian resistance movements smuggling methods of funding their group on this ship.

THeir mission was to identify terrorist group leaders and stop their funding.

OOC: if you ever played the 1996 computer game "Titanic, Adventure out of Time" this may seem familiar to you except I changed it from a british agent stopping a Russian group and the Germans I made it something fitting IDF and more modern.

This may not have to involve those not affected by this movement, but it gives IDF a purpose of RP rather than owning the ship. Everyone here will have their story and this is the story IDF will RP here

Oh well, good luck IDF, have fun.

Oh well, good luck IDF, have fun.
put a human on board

The Taylor family walked along the great deck of the ship.

"Mom, why didn't we just take a cruise?" Laurie asked
"Thats what we're doing sweetie." her mom said,
"Not a boat trip, I wanted to go on a space cruise, Jax got to go on a spaceship."
"Jax would have done alot to go on this."
"But..."
"No buts, come on, we gotta head to our cabin. Come along honey." She called to her husband. Troy ran up and gave their baggage to the belhop.
"Room 102, first class."
"yessir." the belhop said, and lugged the luggage off.

They had not been around so many fellow humans in a long time. The Siesatian population held only 20% human population, a 50 % Saurian population, and a 30 % Burmecian population. Lauries parents were happy that she could finally 'hang' with other humans. Being a teenager, she could find critisism in anything. And had hidden her cell phone (Against her parents wishes) in her baggage.

Abraham Cohen stepped onto the boat with his family. He wore a black coat and black hat and was quite obviously a religious Jew. He looked forward to spending time on this wonderful cruise. He stopped a waiter and asked him where the synagogue was. The reply was something mumbled in a language that Abraham recognized as Arabic. He shook his head and continued down the corridor to room 108 and as he opened the door another waiter stopped by. Abraham stopped him and asked him the way to the synagogue.

"down the stairs and to the left, from there it's the third door on the right"
"thank you" replied Abraham "and why does the waiter I passed before not speak English or Hebrew?"
"i'm sorry sir but all our waiters speak fluent English. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go and meet the captain"

As he rounded the corner he quickly changed his direction and his pace and went to his bosses office.

"boss, it appears as though one of the cruisegoers has spotted a waiter who speaks no English. I think we've found the spy sir."

Danya, recently over his speedo incident, sits on a chair on the boat deck, smoking a pack of reds and noting a young boy fussing around on the smokestacks..

OOC: I loved that game.

John von Schlong walked up to Danya, narrowing his eyes. He put on a serious face, and yes he had that unconfortably tight speedo on, he then spoke with that Austrian accent of his.

"I must crush you."

((OOC: I want to RP this guy as a bully :P ))

Ihaba Svetlana von Steinberg straightened her burnoose for the twelfth time. She had certainly earned this cruise with four successful embassy negotiations in the last several months; the Sultan himself had cleared her travel to IDF and guaranteed her letter of credit for the voyage, no matter where she stayed or what she wished.

And from where she stood, that was a singular honor.

She wished for some time she had been involved in the dickering between IDF and her country, realizing also such had been short and sweet. It was not the location, it was the challenge...

And currently, the challenge was in getting her mind to stop looking for new challenges. This was a vacation, after all - her mind should vacate.

She found her way down to the many shops aboard, and began to browse.

"Can I help you?"
She looked at the pretty blonde clerk for a few moments before deciding that Sinjin had probably meant what he said, and to not take advantage of the offer would be... in poor taste.
"Most assuredly, you can. I am on vacation and I look like an old nun. Please to fix this." She put down the VCU Visa with the "Three Diamonds" logo.

"Money is not an object."

Edward Hicks steps onboard the ship, lugging a rolling suitcase behind him, and a tank of pesticides slung over one shoulder. He hopes there won't be a repeat of that incident at customs when the port authority man accidently poisoned himself by sniffing the nozzle on the tank.

Stats:

Name: Edward Hicks
Occupation: Exterminator
Race: Human, male caucation

(note from the management: I LIKES TO ROLEPLAYS...)

Walking up to the club deck, Edward spots a rather large austrian man arguing loudly with some fat lout in a Speedo.

"Hey!? Aren't you that guy who beat me up at Customs and stole my watch!?" Exclaims Edward as he approaches the Austrian.

John von Schlong put his hand on Edward's neck, lifting him up as if nothing.

"I will crush you."

Edward is scooped up by the mighty Von Schlong.

"NOW PLEASE *choke* WE CAN *ugh* DISCUSS THIS!!"

Edward blacks out due to lack of oxygen, and his pesticide tank (weighing 60lbs) drops on mr von schlong's bare foot. The nozzle pops, and Mr. Von Schlong is deluged in a powerful spray of weapons grade toxins.

John von Schlong falls down due to the incredibly toxic fumes, God knows if he's alive.

Another Rosian was enjoy his cruise. A teenager sent on boarding school, an Irishman. Danny O' Falion was his name. He was on vacation now due to the money saved up by his parents. He started wondering around the deck, and where were his parents? What parents, he was alone due to his nice grades in school. He was 15, 5'6, red hair, blue eyes, average build. He now went to the deck to relax...

A medical helicopter arrives, and airlifts an unconscious Von Schlong (who is glowing eerily by now), and an incoherant Edward to the nearest hospital. While simultaneously blowing several innocent bystanders off the deck with the wind generated by its rotors.

[Well my character was knocked out in the first 30 seconds and I'm frikkin exhausted. Goin to bed bye.]

Abraham reached his room after an hour at the synagogue and lay on his bed and almost instantly fell asleep. His family (wife, son and two daughters) tiptoed past him and left for the main deck. He had become religious about a week ago and to celebrate took them all on the cruise. He promised to stay in his room so that they could do what they want.
Leah, his wife left for the bar immediately and started drinking, she would be drunk in two hours.:)
Rivka, the oldest at 19 went to the lounge and started reading a book. Rachel, who was fifteen and already a great swimmer left straight for the pool and on the way spotted a very nice looking person who looked also about fifteen, he appeared to be alone. Interesting, she thought, very interesting.
The youngest, Avi was eight and, in a manner befitting younger brothers, was extremely annoying. He followed Rivka and started imitating her all the way until she sat down.

Wow, chronistics is REALLY not the only enjoyable thing in the world!
This thought was uttered aloud by Tulkas Legothar, a short, balding man, while he was blissfully floating in the giant swimming pool of the Titanic.
I've got to thank Rolwyn for dragging us to the cruise.
It was last tuesday when Rolwyn, Tulkas's wife, had showed them her new purchase at the Trentaur Central Auction: a family ticket to the inaugural cruise on the Titanic. At first Tulkas didn't want to go, but the family didn't have to turn on their persuasive skills to their full extent: Tulkas had agreed.
And now Rolwyn was at the beauty salon, choosing a hairstyle, and Tulkas himself was, as mentioned before, floating in the pool and, for a change, thinking about things other than his more-than-stressful job as a Logistics Coordinator of TAL Chronistics Enterprises.
Meanwhile, Tarfindel, the 20 year old oldest son of Tulkas and Rolwyn, was on his way to the lounge to get a more or less fresh issue of Master Holographics - he had always liked Holograms, and even applied for jobs at different HoloHalls.
He entered the lounge, quickly found the magazine, sat on one of the comfortable reading couches and started to read.
While he was flipping a page, he noticed that somebody was sitting at the opposite couch: a girl, probably around 19 years old, reading a book.
Hmm, she's pretty attractive, passed in his mind.
He mustered his courage and sat next to Rivka Cohen.

OOC: How is my RP'ing?

Danny looked at the pool sleepily. He was tired, but he wanted to swim too. But obviously he needed some rest first. Maybe a little book reading? He went towards his sack that was next to him. He took out a red book covered in red, titled "What they didn't tell you about the World" and started reading it. It was about the strangeness of international politics.

"So that's why the Island of Rose isn't well known, we are yet to go to war with somebody, at least I'm alive..."

He layed back, relaxed, and started to read his book.

((OOC: If you people wanna talk to him, just walk up to him >_<))

Jack came aboard the ship and went into the libary looking at books.

"ahhh, finally I get to go on vacation," Erica thought to herself, "for the next week it'll be nothing but me, the pool, my book, and of course diving,"
Erica Kars was very well known throughout Illior because of her awesome diving and swimming skill and also because of her father who's in the Illiorian Navy somewhere off of angola. In Illior she had won many an award, when she was only 13 she qualified at the Illiorian Swimming Finals where she won a gold in the 800 IM and she also broke the illiorian record. A year later she broke it again and kept on breaking it. Now she was 17 and she has 17 gold medals to complement her age along with long slender legs and a fit body with nice curves. All her friends had been telling her she could make a fortune as a model, but she always replied,"i don't need money, I have swimming."
Carrying what looks like a really long rope lader, she walks over to the edge of the cruise ship and secures it to the rail. "hmm, what should I do? maybe a triple twist flip, 2 1/2 summersault combo, yep that'll do." Climbing up onto the rail, she feels the wind, "hmm, winds not normally thins strong in port, oh well," She flys off the rail, spinning and spinning and flipping. she lands perfectly in the water with barely a splash, "that'd be a 9.667 atleast," Thinking that to herself as she looks around, then starts climbing up the ladder. On her way up she notices several rivets that don't look like the others. the one in question look a very dull gray while the others are pristine steel color. "ahhh if anything was wrong, they'd have noticed, besides, they wouldn't let this ship sail if it wasn't safe."
Getting back up on deck she rools the ladder up and grabs her towel and her notebook and heads off to the pool to continue writing her book, Why Illiorians Have such an Offensive manner.

OOC: TIOR, you can have your person interact with her if you want

Ihaba Svetlana von Steinberg watched as her Visa was accepted again... and again... and again... and again. For just a moment, she felt pity for the porters who would be carrying her new wardrobe down to her room.

Then she examined herself again in the mirror and forgot about them.

"This one is good. But do you not think it should accentuate the bust a bit more?"
The blonde clerk looked a tad frazzled. "Ma'am, if we accentuate your bust more, you'll pop out of that like a jack-in-the-box."
"Ah," Svetlana nodded, "Good point. Very well. And two of those, and one of each of those books, and you said the paper was flown in daily? I shall have one of each, put them on my card. Now, which would you say would be best for walking around the ship, the green or the blue? Maybe the red."

She emerged wearing the red sun dress, wrapped delicately around her frame but still accentuating her... assets.

"It will do no good not to get a few whistles now and again. And looking is free."

She slipped on the new sunglasses and began her exploration of the ship... and it's delights.


OOC Will interact with anyone.

Phasa Abdul Hamid II(21) decide to go on the crusie to pass the time,on his break from Ottoman Goverment.
He like the shop,he by mistake bump into Ihaba Svetlana von Steinberg by accident."I am sorry."he reply.

She looks him over quickly, gives a quirky look, and says "No, you are handsome. And I am Svetlana, and will be dining at table seven tonight."
She then smiles and winks, and walks off onto the deck, giving him a look backwards - and a good view.

Danny looked at the little incident with the two. He chuckled, he was a bit too mature for his age. He wasn't really looking for a girlfriend. But those hormones will come soon hm? He got back to reading his book, but at the same time turned on the radio next to him. The music? Some Mozart... bleh, this is why he can't get a date.

She looks him over quickly, gives a quirky look, and says "No, you are handsome. And I am Svetlana, and will be dining at table seven tonight."
She then smiles and winks, and walks off onto the deck, giving him a look backwards - and a good view.

"Ok...seven..man I must be on drugs or something."said Phasa Abdul Hamid II somewhat daze..

Laurie was about to head for the pool. She had seen that many people about her age, 16. She grabbed her bag, and history book, entitled 'The Mist Wars of Gaia' The pool was already getting crowded, so she grabbed one of the chairs under the shade, and sat reading the book. Until her phone rang. She hit the yellow button on the touch screen, and a miniature hologram sprung up from the projector, the familiar icon of Jax, 2 crossed spears, with a hat hanging off of one, sat spinning, while a status bar showed the prossess of connecting. Then the icon was replaced by the miniature figure of jax,
"I see your on the boat."
"Yeah, and I can't see where you are, You really have to get the X304, its so much better."
"I might later, I am onboard the Sunstar, in orbit around Saturn."
"Awesome grab me a rock."
"Theyre all radioactive, so I can't."
"Why do you think I was asking?" she laughed. She saw a young child walk over to her.
"Whatcha doin?"
"Im talking to a friend."
"Thats a cool picture." he said motioning up to the hologram. "I like dinosaurs."
"Do you plan on leaving anytime soon?"
"No, Can I see the dinosaur?"
"This is gonna be a long trip." she muttered.

Danny looked over at Laurie with interest. A teenager that read books?! How amazing. He put his book under his arm, though he left his radio on his chair. But who'd steal it... on a boat no less? He walked over to Laurie, he was a bit nervous though, not used to talking to girls outside his school. He spoke, and yes he was just wearing his swimwear...

"What's that you're reading?"

She looked over at him, and closed the book.
"This is The History of Gaia, and the Mist wars." Its about the huge war that almost destroyed a planet, and all of it was fueled by one man."
She flipped through the pages to find an excerpt...
...The eilodon Bahamut, king of dragons, tore asunder, all four of Queen Brahnes airships, including her personal, The Red Rose. She was later found half dead on the beach by her daughter, Garnet, and Companions.
"She died right after she practically destoryed an entire race."

Danny looked at the book she had in hand.

"Do you want to trade? My book is about international politics... I'm sure you won't find that interesting though... did I mention how beautiful you look?"

Danny shook his head. No! Damn it, manners! I must have manners! Damned hormones! He thought. Oh damn it! She'll slap me!

Danny blushed.

"I apologize. I'll go now."

He ran off to his little chair... thing and started reading again.

She laughed, as he was walking away, I don't get that very much where I'm from. But Im sure you think that this is Fiction, right? she said, motioning to the book.

Bump cause we're in page three

I Dont have alot of time so i'm just going to writ my caractor

Name:Robert "Bob Bob" Baran
Age:37
Occupation:News caster

"this criuse is SO nice, i think i'll head down to the computer Cafe and email the rest of the book to my editor," Erica thought to herself,"then, it's back to my room for a nap, shower and a change of clothes for dinner," Down in the computer Cafe(assuming it has one since most modern cruise ships Do) Erica Set up her notebook(aka laptop) and typed up a couple of emails to her friends and her father. one thing left, the story to her editor back in Illior,"god, this book is over 600 pages, this may take awhile," sitting back Erica came up with the great idea of checking the weather in the area of the cruise with the Illiorian National Weather service. "clear skys for the whole trip, a little cool, but still nice, ice flows will be present but shouldn't be great in magnitude" "great, i guess I'll IMM(Illiorian Military Messanger) my dad

EdiverswimmerI: hey dad
navalad:yes honey?
EdiverswimmerI: I kno ur busy but tell me what you know about the route from newyork to england and back

EdiverswimmerI:yes dad, i kno him well, whats his sn

capnavgf: yep that's true, my ship's route has me passing your ship then coming back to NY perpendicular to your ship 10 miles out
EdiverswimmerI: thanx for the info g2g
capnavgf: arright c ya

Erica then logged off her computer since her email had gone through and shut it down. Minutes later she was back in her room taking a shower. "man a shower feels good after a nice dive," Erica said aloud. she shut the shower off, then went and flopped on the bed and set the alarm for 6 o' clock sharp and shortly thereafter fell asleep dreaming of seeing greg very soon.

OOC: someone can interact with her at dinner if they feel like it, please have the person be of suitable age since she is 17.

"Ok it seven o'clock where is she?"Phasa Abdul Hamid II ask himself.

Leah came staggering out of the bar bleary eyed and confused and started walking back to the lounge which required passing by the pool. She saw the pool and headed for it, fully-clothed. She kept on walking and at the last second stopped. Too late. "Where am I? Who am I? What am I doi-aaaaaghh"
Rivka decided to get some sun and went to the pool and lay on a sunbed. Rivka was small for her age and many had mistaken her for about a fifteen year old. She got to the sunbeds and started reading.
Rachel stopped swimming and went to lie next to her sister on the next sunbed.
Avi enjoyed imitation and the current target... was mum! staggering out of the bar he clasped a hand to his head and fell into the pool. Soon after that he discovered that he couldn't swim.
Rachel dived in and pulled him back up to the surface. Placing him on the side of the pool she resumed reading her book which was the autobiography of Cowlquape Pentephraxis, Prime Minister of Sanctaphrax. Every so often she would steal a glance at the boy next to her. He had just finished embarrasing himself with the girl next to him so that was one problem down. She was going to talk to him at dinner, she decided.

"She is not here in 10 mins.I am leaving..."he said to himself

Ihaba Svetlana floated through most of the ship’s offerings, getting her feel for the area and allowing all to get a feel for her. After all,she thought as a teenage boy ran into a wall trying to keep her in sight, looks are free.

As such, she made sure to stand on the upper deck for a time, leaning over and watching those in the swimming area below her. A rather gangly boy was making inept passes as a teenager with a holobook, but she didn’t look all put out. Perhaps other firsts would be the case.

She completed her sashay of all the decks – and a mental list of apparently eligible men and women – long before dinner; her new acquisitions had been thoughtfully put away, a small pile of newspapers on the desk provided.

How thoughtful. I must remember to tip the maid. She called for a pot of coffee and a snack before opening the first paper. Such violence in the world… tragedy… misunderstandings… ah, gold is up, uranium down… silver futures might be useful…

This train of thought continued through the pot and danish; when she glanced at her watch, a full two hours had passed; she had to step up her timetable to make dinner.

Fortunately, again, her things were not that hard to assemble; the water was hot, the shower relaxing, and her hair coiffed quickly into blonde wavy locks, a few combs holding a look used by Grecian nobility.

She took her purse – a few things, makeup, lipstick, passport, VCU Visa, “special” hair brush and comb, and Sparrow palmgun – and switched to a slimline silver watch. One further check of her hair – perfect - and she made her way down to dinner, the sleek black dress hugging her curves like a Porsche.

She stopped only a moment to consult the maître d' about her seating assignment – and to get a “close up second opinion” if she was showing enough cleavage or not. Satisfied by his sudden stammer, she made her way to table seven and her… selection for the evening.

“Good evening. Most sorry, I thought I was late, but I see am I right on time.”

She waited to see if he would rise and attend her chair or not.

***

OOC Cool jets, George, I get on here late in the day.

The Cohen family all left for dinner and picked different seats.
Leah went to a table with a person she thought looked looked like a newscaster and started chatting to him and found out that he WAS a newscaster.
Rivka went to a table with a girl who looked about 17 years old and started talking to her.
Rachel mustered up the courage and went up to the boy (Danny) and asked if the seat was taken. He seemed surprised but accepted and she went to sit down there.
Avi went to the table with his mum and sat and ate quietly (for a change!)

yes!

yes!

Erica woke up before the alarm rang, it was only 5:30 "oh well what the hell,"Erica thought to herself. That was one of her favorite sayings she had gotten from the book Catch-22. She decided to just get up then since she was feeling refreshed, put on some clothes, nothing over exposing just a knee length skirt and a tank top. being around many sailors in her life had taught her the more you expose, the more likely someone who you don't want to will take you back to their room for the night. She didn't put on make up because her mother once told her, you don't need it hon, your already beautiful. If a man doesn't like the way you look without make up then he doesn't know the true you. Not that she was looking for a man or anything. Her latest boyfriend had dumped her for some other girl and she was still getting over him.
wandering around the dining room, Erica picked a nice small table for herself right next to the window. Looking at the great atlantic ocean is a sight to behold.
"Excuse me Ma'am, do you need anyhting?" a waiter politely asked
"just some water, i'll be going for the Buffet tonight thanks," Erica replied in her sweet voice.
She was just brought her glass of water when a girl, about her age asked if she could join Erica
"why not, this is a lovely spot and i'd love some company," Erica recognized her from the pool earlier today. from her original impression, she seemed like a swimmer too.
"By the way, the Name's Erica, Erica Kars, what's yours?"

Rivka sat down and ordered a water.
"Hi my names Rivka Cohen, from Sanctaphrax. My dad decided to become religious so as a celebration he took us on this cruise. He isn't here, he decided to stay in his room all weekend. My mums over there talking to that old guy and... wow my sister appears to have found a new boyfriend! I noticed you swim, my sister is an excellent swimmer and i'm quite good as well!"

Rivka sat down and ordered a water.
"Hi my names Rivka Cohen, from Sanctaphrax. My dad decided to become religious so as a celebration he took us on this cruise. He isn't here, he decided to stay in his room all weekend. My mums over there talking to that old guy and... wow my sister appears to have found a new boyfriend! I noticed you swim, my sister is an excellent swimmer and i'm quite good as well!"
"That's a mouthful, anways a pleasure to meet you Rivka, I'm from illior, and yes I do swim, and I also Dive, if i was to name all the stuff i've done, then we'd be talking for... about a year or so. I'm here because I need to get to newyork and my dad, who's a captain in the Illiorian Navy said it'd be quite beautiful at this time of year to take a cruise. I'm here by myself just havin a jolly good time and i'm also hoping to start with my second book," Erica continued,"anyways i'm starved, lets get sumthin to eat"

"Great idea, I haven't eaten anything in days. Buffet or proper food?"
They wander off talking to each other about swimming and all the stuff Erica's done.

Well, that didn't go well, thought Tarfindel.
I shoudn't have been so shy, why didn't I just TALK to her? She probably thought I liked the place more, that's why she left so quickly. What shall I do? Well, I really like her, so I should try to find her. And to say something, for a change.
With that thought Tarfindel went to find the girl.
Find a girl on a big ocean liner! Easy to say, hard to do!
The ship had 10 levels, each and every one full with restaurants, shops, casinoes etc.
Only after what seemed like two hours he saw her.
She was going out from the main Dining Room (Why didn't I check there earlier?), chatting animatedly with a girl about 17 years old.
After a few moments the other girl had departed, and Rivka started to walk serenely to the direction of the stairs. Tarfindel followed her, and finally levelled with her.
Hi, remember me from the lounge? I'm Tarfindel Legothar, from Trentaur.
What's your name?

OOC: Sanctaphrax, please continue.

Ihaba Svetlana floated through most of the ship’s offerings, getting her feel for the area and allowing all to get a feel for her. After all,she thought as a teenage boy ran into a wall trying to keep her in sight, looks are free.

As such, she made sure to stand on the upper deck for a time, leaning over and watching those in the swimming area below her. A rather gangly boy was making inept passes as a teenager with a holobook, but she didn’t look all put out. Perhaps other firsts would be the case.

She completed her sashay of all the decks – and a mental list of apparently eligible men and women – long before dinner; her new acquisitions had been thoughtfully put away, a small pile of newspapers on the desk provided.

How thoughtful. I must remember to tip the maid. She called for a pot of coffee and a snack before opening the first paper. Such violence in the world… tragedy… misunderstandings… ah, gold is up, uranium down… silver futures might be useful…

This train of thought continued through the pot and danish; when she glanced at her watch, a full two hours had passed; she had to step up her timetable to make dinner.

Fortunately, again, her things were not that hard to assemble; the water was hot, the shower relaxing, and her hair coiffed quickly into blonde wavy locks, a few combs holding a look used by Grecian nobility.

She took her purse – a few things, makeup, lipstick, passport, VCU Visa, “special” hair brush and comb, and Sparrow palmgun – and switched to a slimline silver watch. One further check of her hair – perfect - and she made her way down to dinner, the sleek black dress hugging her curves like a Porsche.

She stopped only a moment to consult the maître d' about her seating assignment – and to get a “close up second opinion” if she was showing enough cleavage or not. Satisfied by his sudden stammer, she made her way to table seven and her… selection for the evening.

“Good evening. Most sorry, I thought I was late, but I see am I right on time.”

She waited to see if he would rise and attend her chair or not.

***

OOC Cool jets, George, I get on here late in the day.

He got up and attend to her chair. He said with a Smile "Here you go!"

Laurie closed her book and grabbed her stuff. It was nearing dinner (I really don't know what time it is, so I guess its dinner) so she headed towards her cabin. She saw her parents fast asleep, the time change had been way too much for them. She dressed into nicer atire, and headed for the Dining Room. Carrying along her book, as she doubted anyone would talk to her.

Well, that didn't go well, thought Tarfindel.

OOC: Sanctaphrax, please continue.

Hi Tarfindel,
i'm Rivka, Rivka Cohen from Sanctaphrax.
Yeah sorry for leaving, I had to go and tell my sister something.
but anyway why are you on this cruise?
I'm here because my dad became religious and to celebrate he took all of us on this cruise.
You won't see him, he's in his room and he's vowed to stay there.
My mum is probably blind drunk by now and can't remember what day it is and my sister is still in the dining room chatting up some poor guy!

As Laurie walked into the dining room Rachel motioned for her to come and sit with them. She accepted and sat down on the other side of Danny.

He got up and attend to her chair. He said with a Smile "Here you go!"

She returned the smile with another knowing glance, and allowed him to settle her at the table.

"Ah, yes, there we go. I am so glad you didn't start without me. This menu looks positively fabulous I'm sure to want to try most everything... perhaps some seafood, what do they say, surf and turf? Ah, yes, waiter. Let's see. I shall have... something sparkling with a good taste, no alcohol, it is early yet. Mimosa? Don't they use champagne? Ah, yes, soda water and orange juice, it sounds delightful."

She looked at her guest. "So, tell me about yourself, besides that you are handsome."

Rivka? What a beautiful name! It matches you perfectly.
I'm on the cruise because of my mother, she bought the ticket on an auction, and so, we - me, Mother and Dad - are here! At first I was a bit sorry, I had to cancel a job interview, but now, he said, looking at her adoringly,I'm not a bit sorry. So, tell me about yourself.

Listen you seem like a nice guy Tarfindel but I have a boyfriend in Sanctaphrax. sorry! I haven't seen your parents yet, where are they? Come to think of it I haven't seen my mum either.

Laurie sat down next to her, placing the leather bound book on the table, painfully awhere of how old it suddenly looked as a bit of binding fell apart.
"This thing is ancient." she said, and looked into it to find the date: 12 AGR.
"I take that back, this thing is older than most countries."

((OOC: Heh... here's a mix to this punch I'm about to add ;) and please talk to him... ))

Donnie was snoring loudly near the pool... when all of a sudden a NINJA appeared. Yes a ninja... unarmed... but a ninja... what have a problem? Donnie woke up suddenly, letting out a yelp.

"What the hell?! John put you up to this didn't he?!" He yelled.

The ninja sighed. "Yeah... let's get this over with..." He said as he put his wackisachi(sp) is a defensive position.

Donnie rolled his eyes, kicking him in the testicles. As the ninja bent over, Donnie then karate chopped the ninja's skull. He then picked up the by now unconscious ninja and threw him over to the pool. He sighed, picking up his things and putting it inside his bag. He then went afar from the pool... to look at the sea really....

She returned the smile with another knowing glance, and allowed him to settle her at the table.

"Ah, yes, there we go. I am so glad you didn't start without me. This menu looks positively fabulous I'm sure to want to try most everything... perhaps some seafood, what do they say, surf and turf?

She looked at her guest. "So, tell me about yourself, besides that you are handsome."
He sit down and reply"I just a Phasa and Accountant for Ottoman Goverment..I just got my off from Goverment.I just here to relax."

OOC: Let me just say that although I'm not very well known here on the boards this looks like a fun thing to try out. If you don't want me here, I'll gladly step out.

At that moment a tall, broadshouldered, older man with a moustache entered the room. Dmitri Isaanov, the Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Almighty Terrell made a beeline for the bar throwing aside all formalities. The Terrell had bought him a ticket onto the ship telling him that a vacation would do him well.

"A whole lot of good this is doing me," he thought, "this is more stressful than work."

He ordered a tall glass of the ship's oldest scotch and climbed onto the nearest barstool. As he waited for his drink he pulled a cigar from his newly tailored Armani jacket, struck a match and lit it up. After a few puffs he recieved his drink "Just start up a tab," he told the waiter. Somehow he knew this would be a long cruise.

He looked around the room to see if there was any lively conversation here he could join in.

Kihiro Tatsan, a Japanese imigre to Wirraway, and former Sumo wrestler lumbered down the diving board. The entire assembly creaked under his enormous girth.

Just before he left the board he noticed a black shape lying in the water....to late.... he fell off the board and crushed the black object on the bottom of the pool. With is massive positive bouyency he floated to the surface quicly carrying what looked to be Ninja grasping his obvioulsy injured testicles. H ehelped the groaning man to the pool deck and almost broke the ladder getting out of the pool, it now rested at an outward angle.

He stumbled to a deck chair and laid the Ninja down before recognizing him as one of the hated Okomazuri ninja clan which had terrorized his people and promptly threw him through a plate glass window into the kitchen of the cuise liner.

He then went to his cabin and put on his speedo before going up to have some sushi.

Donnie saw as the ninja went through the kitchen window and laughed. He put on his T-shirt, still being in his bathing boxers. He was barefoot by the way. He put on his jeans over his boxers, now walking towards the dining room and sitting on a table near all the other teenagers, he took out a copy of "Das Kapital" and started reading....

As Baran walks over to the swimming Pool area, he sees a Muscular Europein man lying on the ground, A fat guy Naked laughing at him, and a skinny guy running. Just then the euro guy yells,"Geet dat maan!" Baran seeing the skinny guy running, runs after him and tackles him to the ground. Later that day while Baran is eating Von Schlong comes by

"Thanks" Said Johann

"Your welcome.By the way" Replys Bob Bob "Whats your name"

"Johan Von Schlong" he replied

"It shows" said baran lookingat johann's piants :p

((OOC: You can use him if you want :P))

(part of this will be based on reality)

At 10:45 am, 1st Officer Murrow got on the PA. "All ashore that's going ashore," he called. "Titanic leaves in 15 minutes."

Crowds went up on the Boat deck, forcastle and poop deck aft to see the sight as they prepared to embark South Hampton.

At 10:55 Capt. Edward James Smith, on his final voyage as a commander, ordered the gangplank removed. He had 2nd Officer Charles Lightower oversee as the ship's lines were pulled back from the dock. Titanic under tug power left at 10:59, 1 minute ahead of schedule.

Once 50 feet clear of the dock and under her own power, but of course with a harbor pilot commanding the ship. Captain Smith had not liked harbor pilots. He remembered when the 1st of class Olympic had a collision leaving Southampton under pilot control when the Olympic's large displacement ended up bringing a British cruiser too close and it colided with the larger Olympic.

the harbor pilot had her going at 5 knots in the middle of the channel. 750 yards past the IDF White Star docks the Titanic passed America Line's docks. There was a small 2 funnel steamer called the "New York". As the Titanic passed, a swell was created. The smaller steamer was being pulled towards Titanic. Suddenly *CRACK!* the lines snapped and the aft of the New York swung towards Titanic's aft port side.

Smith was quick to react from the Port Bridge Wing. "Full reverse," he ordered hoping to cause a backwash sending New York the other way. A tug quickly tossed a line to the aft end of the New York stopping it just 5 feet from hitting Titanic.

There was long sigh of relief from all on the Titanic as she left for the English Channel and Queenstown Ireland.

Some passengers were noted as saying that it was unlucky, especially as the ship's name was New York, the city they were headed to.

OOC NOTES ABOUT TITANIC

1. The 4th funnel is a fake and it may be fun for some of you to tresspass into it, there are ladders and platforms in it. It was put on the ship because no one wanted to be on a 3 funnel ship when you had Lusitania and Mauratania with 4 funnels

2. The decks are
Boat
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
Boat deck is where the bridge, wireless room, top of the grand staircase, lifeboats (you may need them later), and 1st class smoking room , and gym

A has 1st class cabins, the promenade, and 1st class lounge

B has the Cafe Parisian, 1st class cabins

C has 1st class cabins

D has 2nd class cabins and some 1st along with 1st class dining room,m Steerage is forward

F has lots of steerage with a few aft 2nd class cabins, steerage dining room, pool, turkish baths, squash court

G engine room, entrance to cargo hold, (stowaways are down here and people sneak down here)

Leah went for a wander around the ship and finally reached the top. There she saw a funnel that looked different so she climbed into it! she wandered some more until she found a comfortable spot and fell asleep inside funnel No4

He sit down and reply"I just a Phasa and Accountant for Ottoman Goverment..I just got my off from Goverment.I just here to relax."

"An accountant? How fascinating!" she batted her eyelashes at him. "And here I am, a simple governmental secretary, and to meet someone with such an interesting career! Please, do tell, what do you think of this ship? Of IDF in general?" She gave a quick look at the waiter "Yes, the surf and turf plate, please, and a salad to start. Caesar will be just fine. May I have another of these? Yes? Thank you!" She looked back at her company as he left. "Such an attentive young man. Most cordial. I think I shall enjoy this vacation - my first in, oh, years. It is just so difficult to get time off sometimes. But there I go, discussing myself again. How did you decide on this cruise? And what is a Phasa?"

After consuming all the sushi left in 1st class dining room, and some which was on a few unfortunate passenger's plates, Kihiro rumbled down the deck, knocking people left and right with his massive girth. A midget who happened to be standing near the rail was knocked over-board into the giant bronze propellers.

Kihiro made his way to the fake 4th stack and began to walk around inside it. The platform he was walking was not designed to hold 500 pounds and snapped as he neared the middle. Kihiro fell 1 story and crashed into the deck, his fat absorbing most of the impact. He looked up dazedly and saw a girl sleeping high in the stack.....

"An accountant? How fascinating!" she batted her eyelashes at him. "And here I am, a simple governmental secretary, and to meet someone with such an interesting career! Please, do tell, what do you think of this ship? Of IDF in general?" She gave a quick look at the waiter "Yes, the surf and turf plate, please, and a salad to start. Caesar will be just fine.

It is just so difficult to get time off sometimes. But there I go, discussing myself again. How did you decide on this cruise? And what is a Phasa?"
"IDF is good nation and Phasa is just title for noble families within the Ottoman State.I decide to cruise to pass my time."he reply..wondering to himself.."how old is she.."

"IDF is good nation and Phasa is just title for noble families within the Ottoman State.I decide to cruise to pass my time."he reply..wondering to himself.."how old is she.."

She clicks her tongue. "Ah yes, nobility. I believe Vastiva has several consulates and an embassy in your country. Perhaps I will visit later." She giggles. "If I have good reason, no?"

The salads arrive, along with another round of drinks. "So sorry, this sort of thing, this cruise, just has me giggling. It is so wonderful to be on vacation!"

"I see...I would be glad if you came over to my nation.."he reply

She gives a most alluring smile.

"Then we must certainly manufacture some memories to reminisce about when I do visit, do we not?"

Kihiro made his way to the fake 4th stack and began to walk around inside it. The platform he was walking was not designed to hold 500 pounds and snapped as he neared the middle. Kihiro fell 1 story and crashed into the deck, his fat absorbing most of the impact. He looked up dazedly and saw a girl sleeping high in the stack.....
Leah woke up to find pieces of splintered wood all over the place and a fat person standing over her. She was still not exactly sober but she managed to stand up and discover that she and the fat guy were stuck in the fourth funnel!

She gives a most alluring smile.

"Then we must certainly manufacture some memories to reminisce about when I do visit, do we not?"
"Yes we can manufacture some good memories.."he reply.

Laurie finished up a salad, and reopened her book, when her phone beeped, and announced that there was one new message.
"Excuse me, I have to see this." she said to te others at the table, and flipped up the control panel. Pressing the blue button on the touch screen, the miniature hologram of Jax popped up.
"Laurie, Hello... I know your there.... Anyway, I hacked the NID database, finally, they may as well have left a welcome mat. And I found out something important, and it cant wait, you really gotta call me, I already contacted Frat, and Jess." The Message ended, and the Hologram shimmered out.

OOC: sorry just found the RP
John Roberts was reading a book about the Titanic, his 2nd class room. When head the announcement. He felt glad that he put a portable life raft. The raft was a suitcase next to his window. Then he went to found some ice cream on the ship.

"Yes we can manufacture some good memories.."he reply.

She waits until the salads are finished, entrees arrive, and both drinks are refreshed before asking "What sort of memories would you suggest require creation?" ....

... and batting her eyelashes again.

A destroyer hails the IDF ship from several miles away.

"This is the Aztec Lands Naval Force Light Carrier Emperor Moctezuma III hailing you along with Battle Group 1. We are honored to pass by your fleet of world leaders. Enjoy yourselves."

Around fifteen minutes later, two C-2N "Quetzal" light fighters fly over the cruise line, in formation as the fleet comes into view. Everyone on deck focuses on the fighters, then the fleet. After a few minutes of negotiation between the captain of the luxury liner and the Battle Group, they pull close to the liner and fire a salvo, in the opposite direction, in salute. The deafening roar of cannon delights the cruise attendees, who start clapping. The fleet sails away.

She stops a passing waiter.
"Would you ask the band to play "That's Amore"? Rather... appropriate, wouldn't you say?"


(OOC Bump)

As they ate quietly, Ihaba's eyes roamed freely - surreptitiously, but freely.
Many, many cute men and women here. A girl could get lost in all of them. And most certainly, she is going to try. I wonder what the age of consent is aboard this ship...

She smiled at her guest, leaning forward enough to show off her decolettage, subtly.

OOC *bump*

Leah stood up, the man was huge!!!
She started looking for a way out of the funnel. The man was slouched against the wall but he was still very tall. Quickly Leah jumped onto his shoulders and then grabbed the top of the funnel. She pulled herself up and went to the bar.

Laurie placed the ComSat Phone in the table, knowing Jax was exagerating on the importance.
"So... She asked her newfound friend, What kind of place do you come from."

We really need this Bump. :headbang:

Laurie placed the ComSat Phone in the table, knowing Jax was exagerating on the importance.
"So... She asked her newfound friend, What kind of place do you come from."
Thats me isn't it?
Rachel or Rivka??

OOC: Rachel

She stops a passing waiter.
"Would you ask the band to play "That's Amore"? Rather... appropriate, wouldn't you say?"


(OOC Bump)
"Sure I don't mine.."He reply
OOC:sorry taking so long to reply!

Laurie placed the ComSat Phone in the table, knowing Jax was exagerating on the importance.
"So... She asked her newfound friend, What kind of place do you come from."
"Sanctaphrax, it's a nice country, we live in the capital. It's called Lake Landing. There's lots of trees around there and the population is really diverse. It's in a province called The Free Glades. There's a big lake right in the middle of Lake Landing. The mayor of Lake Landing is called Parsimmon."
Leah walks into the room and heads straight for the bar.
"Wait a second Laurie. Mum, mum over here. Hey mum meet Laurie."
Leah grunted in acknowledgement and kept walking to the bar. She staggered out an hour later, drunk again! Rachel and Laurie listened quietly until they heard. Splash. There we go thought Rachel. She fell into the pool again.
"Wait here Laurie i'd better go fish her out!

Laurie patiently watched as Leah was fished out of the water. She pulled out her book and began to read the next entry, written some 800 years beforehand, it explained the intracasies of the short sword, and its uses.

bump

Laurie patiently watched as Leah was fished out of the water. She pulled out her book and began to read the next entry, written some 800 years beforehand, it explained the intracasies of the short sword, and its uses.
Rachel saw Laurie reading a book and decided not to interfere. She knew from experience that there is nothing more frustrating then being stopped in the middle of a chapter.

Pulling out a flat pad she placed it over the words, and translations came up. Seeing Rachel standing there, she motioned for her to sit down, as she finished up the last scentince.
"how did it go?" she asked, "Where I'm from, alchahol doesnt excist, its interesting to see this kind of stuff out of the books."

"Sure I don't mine.."He reply
OOC:sorry taking so long to reply!

Ihaba's body rocked slowly backwards and forewards with the rythym of the soft Italian love song.
"I do so love this work. So well done. So many have done it well, don't you think?"

Pulling out a flat pad she placed it over the words, and translations came up. Seeing Rachel standing there, she motioned for her to sit down, as she finished up the last scentince.
"how did it go?" she asked, "Where I'm from, alchahol doesnt excist, its interesting to see this kind of stuff out of the books."
"In Sanctaphrax you're limited on how much alcohol you can drink. Mum always drank right up to the limit. Here there is no limit so mums having a field day. She'll miss the whole cruise through being drunk. I can't stop her though!"

"You know, where I live, there are no laws making alchahol illegal, its just that noone drinks it. The Raptors find it discusting, the Burmans have no tolerence to it, and this makes it hard for the humans to find it."
She pulled a photograph out of her pocket.
"I'll tell you one thing, you always wish you could somehow escape from home, go to strange, new places, but in the end, you just want to end up where you started."

OOC: I plan on having something 'bad' happin. But it wont affect the voyage. Well, not for anyone else.
