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 cute handheld fan with a detachable stand.
✦ A pillow that definitely doesn't look like what you think it is (slightly NSFW).
✦ A book about how to deal with the stress of travel!
✦ A colorful OnlyFruits water bottle.
✦ A pack of sesame biscuits. Not cookies. These are legally and emotionally distinct from cookies. You feel this in your soul.
☰ OOC NOTES
✦ Welcome to your Weekend 0 Mingle!
✦ You currently DO NOT have your home item, any canon outfits, or your game-provided phone. Powers are off.
✦ ICly, profiles are still hidden! We will let you know when you can see them ICly. This also means your character ICly does not know what team they are!
✦ 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!

[ scoots over to him with his hands raised, and then. pauses. squints. ]
Oh. Right. Um, never mind.

no subject
Yeah. I can't use my arch-- um, magla.
no subject
Huh. Well, there's our first hint at trouble.
no subject
I think it does make sense. There's already a couple of people that might capsize the boat if they were able to, but... you're right, I don't like that I don't have access to my magic, or that it can be shut off.
no subject
Exactly. It takes resources and skill to shut off someone's power like this. What else can they do to us with it?
no subject
Probably not much more. We're supposed to be here for a show, right? So... they have to have us in one piece.
no subject
no subject
... Yeah, that's true. [ frowns. ] But I think the fact that we're supposed to um, perform? That means we'll be mostly okay.
And if that's not true, I'll protect anybody who can't protect themselves.
no subject
no subject
Yes. However I can.
no subject
Well...good. I'm sure people will need it.
no subject
They always do, but... that's what heroes are for. They always hold out a hand to people who need it.
no subject
So you're a hero, huh?
no subject
I try my best to be. The place I come from could use someone to stand up for it.
no subject
It's rare to find someone who's up to the challenge.
no subject
[ he fiddles with his gloves a little. ]
You can be a hero in a lot of ways. Small ways. I'd like to save the world, but you have to start with a smile and a little bit of hope.
no subject
Well. I can't say I know how well you're doing at all that just yet, but you're talking the right talk and you're willing to walk the walk, so I think you're well on your way.
no subject
Thanks. [ he says, genuinely, please. ] Oh - sorry, I'm Will. That's a better introduction than throwing a cracker at your face, I hope.
