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!

Oh, everything under the sun and then some, I think. There's some liquors back here that we don't have where I'm from, so I've just been taking a shot of everything to find out what they taste like.
no subject
[ quick, glasses. this is a kind of social experiment he wants in on, asap. ]
no subject
My favorite to drink is rye beer, and what they have in stock here isn't too bad. The apple brandy was good, and they have so many different flavors of vodka and liqueurs that your head might start spinning.
no subject
[ you're 20 dude, shut up. he will clink a glass if she's willing. ] Or to forget you have to keep your more questionable legally binding shit.
no subject
she will clink the glass, though, and go to grab another random bottle off the shelf. ] At least the legally binding shit was... kind of vague on all of that. I'd like to see the paperwork again, but who knows if we can.
no subject
Probably not. I mean I doubt we could do anything about it now it's signed and we're here, but nothing like seeing how badly we fucked it before we're forced to do the thing we signed up for.
no subject
while listening to him, she lines up a few different bottles for them. gin, whiskey, idk take your pick they're all different. ] It might also be easier to understand with more than one person more aware of what a "reality show" is than some of us. But you're right - we're here, and we're not going anywhere now.
no subject
[ hmm. ]
Movies are more like telling a story. You think there's an audience for just watching daily life shit? [ i say watching people play video games. ]
no subject
We have plays and performances, that kind of thing, but not really anything like what you all have mentioned. So this is a new one for me - hence why I'd like to look at the papers again.
no subject
Like... too smiley, could do with giving his cheeks a break levels?
[ that guy. ]
Oh. Huh. I already had someone tell me they don't know what mira is, so I guess that was a sign something's up.
no subject
[ he seemed alright, though. ]
Count me in as having no idea what mira is. [ she's friend-shaped! ] I've heard a few different people talk about different... I guess worlds. So.
no subject
[ landed on him. fun times. ]
Different worlds? Seriously?
no subject
One kid mentioned Earth, a bunch of people that have skyfaring vessels... no one's heard of the continent of Rodinia, so I'm kind of assuming I'm on my own for where I'm from.
no subject
Never hear of it either. Earth or Rodinia.
I've definitely heard of airships though.
no subject
no subject
[ ... ]
Why not?
no subject
[ she never conceived of flying in a craft before now. jesus. ]
Conflicts over resources and land. I feel like that'd just get worse, and there's enough problems with fighting over Luxite, specifically, which would be even more of a nightmare since they'd want to use it to power anything like that.
no subject
[ suffering. ]
Sounds like that’ll happen either way, if it’s already brewing. Erebonia was an annex happy shit even before they put a tank on legs and called it technological advancement for military aid, or whatever sounded good in the papers.
