CRUISE SHIP MEME
welcome to the muse cruise!

It's vacation time and you're just embarking on a luxury five star cruise. Why you're there is up to you! Did you win the holiday as a prize? Is it a romantic holiday with your sweetie? Are you looking for love, or maybe just looking for a bit of fun on the high seas? Or maybe you hate boats and you only very grudgingly agreed to set foot on one. There is something for everyone on this luxury liner and you could be about to encounter a wealth of different sorts of people sharing this vaction experience with you.

RULES:
# Leave a comment with your character's name, fandom, and any preferences you have.
# Taggers select the location or activity on the ship for their thread scenario. You may prefer to just pick yourself, select from the options below, or use the RNG for a number between 1 and 13 to choose for you. Or come up with an idea all on your own. The time of day is the taggers choice also.
# Have your muse wander around the ship and interact with others
# If you do wish to come on the cruise with friends or loved ones you already know, feel free to flag them specifically in your post.
# Have fun, and Bon Voyage!

THE LIST:

[1] Hanging out on the deck
The fresh sea air, people out enjoying the ocean views, you're on the deck and basking in the luxury of your surroundings. Maybe you're just taking a walk, or maybe you're relaxing with a good book, or just people watching. You're up on deck and making the most of being out on the water.

[2] Enoying the pool
It's a large and sprawling pool with beautiful crisp water. Maybe you want a relaxing paddle or swimming laps is more your scene? Perhaps you're just there to have a good perve at the passing parade, or you're sitting by the pool in a comfy lounge getting some sun.

[3] Chilling in the cabins
Your cabin is so luxurious, you can't talk yourself into leaving it yet. Or maybe you've had a little too much sun and it's time for an afternoon nap. Maybe you and your partner want to enjoy a little alone time, or you just can't force yourself away from the TV. (This option would only adequately work if you're sharing a cabin with someone and flagging them to thread with)

[4] Enjoying the nightlife
The casino, the nightclub, the bar, the pool hall, the Karaoke bar, the movie theatre, the cocktail bar, the bowling alley, the comedy club, the all-night shopping mall - the entertainment world is your oyster. There's something for everyone on this ship.

[5] Wining and dining
Breakfast, lunch or dinner, or maybe a snack in between. You're hanging out in one of the many eateries the cruise offers. The five star restaurant, the burger diner, the pizza joint, the ice cream parlour, the candy store. Or maybe you just want to hit a bar for a nice drink or experience wine tasting, or relax with a nice glass of white in the wine bar?

[6] Cruise gone wrong
You hate boats. You never knew you hate boats, but you do. You're scared and have no idea how you're going to last. Can't they just let you off?! Or the dreaded seasickness has hit and you're curled up in a miserable ball trying not to puke up your internal organs... why won't this horrible boat just stop swaying? You're injured. You bumped your head, tripped down the stairs, or got a little too frisky with your partner and pulled a muscle. You've run out of money, or lost it all at the casino. Now what? That horrible, awful person you hate and can't stand is on this cruise too! Why the hell do they hae to be here, and why are they in all the places you want to be?! This wasn't how you planned your cruise AT ALL.

[7] Romantic escape
You have brought your sweetie on a cruise for some special time together. Maybe you have a couples day at the spa, or you want to hang out in your cabin for the entirety of the cruise? Are you taking long moonlit walks on the deck, or sharing a romantic candlelit dinner for two? Maybe you're taking a twilight dip together in the pool or indulging in the hot tub you paid that little extra for in your cabin? Or maybe, just maybe, you're planning on popping the question? Whatever it is, it's all about the two of you and celebrating your love. (This option would only adequately work if you're shipped and flagging your other half to thread with)

[8] Booze cruise
You just want to have some damn fun, and you want to do it was boozed up as you can! Maybe you're with a bunch of friends, or maybe you've had a rough year and just need to let your hair down? Is it a Bachelor or Bachelorette party and it's your job to get the bride/groom to be trashed? Maybe you're just sick of being Mrs or Mrs Niceguy and want to leave your serious business on sure and let loose. You don't care what fun you get into, just so long as it's wild!

[9] Looking for love
You're single. Maybe even desperate and dateless. You came on this cruise to take your mind off it, or maybe you came here to find the love of your life. Maybe you're peeved at all the kissing and canoodling couples around here, or maybe you're ready to pluck up the courage to try and hit on someone you have been watching from afar since you got on the ship? Either way, you don't want to be single anymore, so what are you going to do about it?

[10] Gettin frisky
All that sea air is making you horny and you want to get your sexy times on. Do you have someone special to indulge with, or do you need to try and pick up? Where do you go to have a good shag, and does it go how you hoped it would? Or maybe yo hit the bar and had a few too many, and now you're waking up with someone you have never met before. Oopsy...

[11] Relax to the max
The sauna and day spa, the hair and beauty salon, mini golf, shopping mall, the gaming arcade, the library, bingo, yoga classes, live music, table tennis, the cafe... if you're looking to relax, everyone will find something to their taste.

[12] Keep fit
Go for a brisk walk or jog up on deck, hit the gym, take a fitness class. If you're a fitness nut, or just want to make sure you don't put on a few extra pounds with all the yummy cruise food, you will have your outlet here.

[13] Lucky 13 Wildcard
Your choice. Anything not listed here that can plausibly happening on a cruise ship!

With a snort, he doubled over the table snickering, forehead pressing against the table next to his drink. It was brief and he straightened up a moment later, but his grin was very much a silent laughter.

"Then I'll just figure you out anyway. I like mysteries."

And casually, Kanda reached over to slap him over the head. At least it wasn't a fist this time, but the message had to be clear.

"It's no longer a mystery when you figure it out," he stated bluntly as if completely unaware of the double meaning there, "Do you still like it then?"

Because he says no to intended one night/week/month adventures, yep.

"Hey, ow," Lavi said, pouted, and rubbed his hand over his head. " 'course I do. Mysteries are just plus points anyway."

Honestly.

"Good," Kanda answered wholeheartedly and returned to drinking.

Lavi hummed and grabbed his own drink again as well, allowing the conversation to fall victim to silence for a while. But he could rarely be silent for a very extended amount of time, so.

"Being all mysterious attracts people. I like playin' that card."

Kanda just cocked an eyebrow, he didn't even know about any socialization games, let alone using it with some goals in mind.

"What?" he just grunted, for some reason imagining Lavi in a Yu-Gi-Oh card tournament. I CHOOSE YOU, MYSTERY!

"Yeah, you know, I act mysterious and people come to talk to me?"

And then you could possibly ease information out of them by bargaining pieces of information. For some people, anyway.

Kanda made a bit of an annoyed snort; no shit Sherlock, that was probably the one part he did get. Just how dumb did you think he was?

"And how the hell do you do that?" he specified, now trying to pull the lemon slice out of his empty glass with his straw. "Look shady or fart a cloud of Eau de Mystique?"

He snorts. A fart cloud of Eau de Mystique, what...

"What's that even supposed to mean?" he asks, huffs, and shakes his head. "Nope, no magical tricks like that. Look shady's closer to it, I s'ppose. You were kinda doin' it actually. On a cruise ship, but not actually socialising. Just with a teensy bit less 'fuck off' aura."

Perfume. Or pheromones that radiate mystery. Kanda was maybe a little acquaintanced with French, oh the surprise.

"I told you that I didn't even want to go," he points out with a frown. He must think that actors and plays are all the work of magic. "Are you telling me you can look whatever you decide on?"

"Oh, yeah, I am."

And he's very proud of it too. Master actor, right here.

"And if you're wondering, I'm not doing that to you right now."

"Well I can't," Kanda states dryly, apparently unimpressed by the fact that he's talking to some local sitcom star or whatever. He does seem to lighten up a little at that confirmation, though. "You'd better not."
