REMAINING
Good afternoon passengers, and welcome to the marvelous Scylla, heading directly for Napalm Springs... We are expected to arrive in approximately a time... Please enjoy your refreshments and entertainment while we make our way through the coral reef...
YO HO HO HO
In the words of Twerking With the Stars season 15 winner, Smdy Aamberg: You're on a boat! (You're on a boat!) You're on a boat! (You're on a boat!) Everybody look at you 'cause you're sailing on a boat!
It's a little packed on this ship, but for the most part? You're not too crowded. It's made to carry about forty people, so there's enough space to spread out. You can even find little places to be alone, should you so wish. Mostly. Again, you think there might be cameras, but you can't see any of them and even if you could, you wouldn't be able to break them.
The main attraction of the ship is the cabin on the deck. Inside the cabin is a fully stocked bar, complete with mixers and garnishes. A fridge with pre-made meals spans across the underside of this bar, and there's enough in there for everybody on board to have at least three meals a day. How does it all fit? Just trust us, it does. If you try to take more than your fair share, you'll get electrocuted by a mysterious force, so maybe don't do that. Or do, if you're into that kind of thing. 
There are tables and booths inside the cabin to hang out in, as well as a dance floor smack dab in the middle of the floorspace. There is a disco ball hanging down from the ceiling in the center of the multicolored dancefloor. From nine PM to midnight, this plays in the cabin, so enjoy your clubbing. At least it's not able to be heard outside of the cabin itself, so if you want to sleep, you can do so on the deck. There's a bunch of lounge chairs out there, go wild. Speaking of, aside from the lounge chairs, on the deck is a small pool with a hot tub extension. It's perfect for lazing about with a drink, or getting to know your fellow contestants.
And why did we tell you to find a lounge chair to sleep in? Well, unfortunately all of the rooms in the sleeping quarters are locked and cannot be opened by any means, save for one. This room has one king-sized waterbed with a funhouse mirror on the ceiling directly above it, an armchair in the corner, and nothing else. The door to this room does not lock, and is weirdly warm. You can sleep here. Not sure why you'd want to, but you can.
And yes, there are bathrooms. Public ones, with stalls and sinks. There is one shower. Keep that in mind.
At the very back of the yacht is what appears to be the engine room, or something like it. It's locked, but the sign on the door reads:
YOUR CAPTAIN TODAY IS FLYINGWAY. PLEASE ENJOY YOUR TRIP TO THE ISLAND.
No amount of brute force or wits can break into this room. If you try to get in anyway, do let us know.
Special Delivery!
As a complimentary gift for participating on the Vine Season 69, you receive a small canvas tote bag full of goodies!
✦ A small box containing three mini key lime tarts.

✦ A pillow that definitely doesn't look like what you think it is (slightly NSFW).

☰ OOC NOTES

✦ You currently DO NOT have your home item, any canon outfits, or your game-provided phone. Powers are off.

✦ Don't forget to turn in your PCs if you start them!
✦ Have fun, and always feel free to come talk to the mods if you have any issues or comments or anything you want to share!

Hm. [ then shaking his head. ] I don't think it's depression! Not really my bag. A little more difficult to pinpoint than that.
no subject
[Because Rui does know what depression is like. Rui finds his own and takes a bite, and frowns immediately]
If they didn't do this on purpose then something went rather wrong in the kitchen!
[Yet he keeps eating them even though they feel kind of existentially odd! The Not-Cookies, he supposes these should be called]
no subject
It does feel intentional. I should stop eating them. Apparently they can cause bloating.
no subject
[Rui finishes and shakes his head]
3/10. I feel like I made some sort of mistake, but I don't feel sad or mopey. More like...I feel emotionally bloated.
[what does that even mean rui]
no subject
[ nice was really concerned about it. anyway, nodding as if he understands perfectly. ]
Right. You understand what I mean.
no subject
[Can't even call them biscuits, they're things!]
no subject
then shaking his head. ]
Nothing but the regular joy of getting to choose what to eat in my own body again, alas.
no subject
[Also, own body, too. There are two equally weird things in that response, Rui almost isn't sure which one to talk about. The fact he's talking to someone non-human doesn't really bother Rui, even though Molly is a complete novelty. Sometimes people look different, after all! But what Molly said definitely gives him enough pause to wonder what's up]
no subject
It's complicated!
no subject
[Should he be concerned, he ponders]
no subject
[ but he is not elaborating. ]
no subject
I cannot be allowed to be left behind. I must learn to make mysterious comments that will keep the audience's eyes on me.
[Although, truthfully, whenever he aludes to something mysterious, people tend to react with dread, instead of with amazement. He's got a reputation]
