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.

# 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!

[A certain cruise ship is even canon, so anyone wants to hop on?]

[Open to canon, cross-canon, OCs, AUs, m/f or m/m for gen or shippy things. I'm more interested in playing him as a dragon-shifter]

There was so much food here! It was nearly too much! But for her mate, they will first head to the relaxing private wine tasting that she managed to get just for the two of them.

The same member gives them some food to taste with each different wines. The first one to taste was an 100 year old one served with some cheese and light sandwiches. Once the staff member leaves, Leanne watches intently to see if he likes this surprise for him or not.

"How is it?"

Estinien could afford to relax especially now spending time travelling with his mate. He has more money to spare this time now that he could manage. Everything is warm, rich, and vibrant on the ship. He was concerned he's going to feel ill from the seasick, which he did, but feeling a little better.

There's a lot of food on the cruise considering there's so many restaurants from different regions internationally. "Wine you say? I ought to be more careful when it comes spirits, but a small glass wouldn't hurt."

Time travelling almost felt like a cheat to get so much more time with her mate and to not worry about coin. This vacation was perfect, it was so warm, so full of life and everything was rich. When he gotten seasick, Leanne was by his side to help nurse him back to health.

She beams a little and goes to nod her head as it seems like he was interested in her small gift. "It is a wine tasting where there is some rare wine. I won't let you drink too much. I figure you would enjoy it since you love wine..."

Eventually he did feel better and less green. The motion sickness takes a while to get used too.

"I don't want to accidentally end up kidnapping sheep and chickens in the bed if we're planning to make love tonight." Not that there's any live ones on board but stuff animals for sale at the vendors on-board. "But you take care of your limit."

He beams at the idea and nods. Once they're there, he beams at the rich wine and takes a sip. "It's really good and refreshing when chilled."

She will have to tease him later on about how green he was around the horns.

At his words, she bursts out laughing and gives him a light kiss on the cheek. "They would be a huge distraction from our love making." She giggles and playfully bumps her hips against his. "I shall, don't need to have another dragon try and make me into his mate."

She smiles and goes to lean up to whisper in his ear. "Besides, perhaps during this cruise... We will get lucky and you would sire a brood in me."

And that will be left up in the air as now, it was time to enjoy some wine. Once they were there, she requested smaller portions for herself, taking a slow sip of her own. "It is really good. Who knew that wine could taste like this."

She smiles first at the rich wine before at him, just enjoying the sight of him enjoying one of his few pleasures.

"There's more so don't get too greedy yet." She teases. "Perhaps, if we have enough coin, we can buy the one you like the most to enjoy later."

"I'm already lucky to have you." He answered, smiling softly. Having children isn't really a part of his plan, but he will be surprised if they did succeed in having her belly swollen.

He drank a small ounce and that was his limit. Enough to feel a small rush of warmth to the cheeks for a flush and leaves a robust taste in his mouth. "Mm. It was rich."

With a nod, "That would be enough for me. A bottle for later for the evening."

She gives him a loving kiss. "Aren't you glad that you kidnapped me that night and made me your wife?" Only time will tell whenever her belly becomes swollen.

Happy, it made her happy and content to give him this small joy in one of his pleasures. "That's all you will have?"

She looks towards the server and makes a request for the bottle to be delivered in the evening.

"Have some cheese to help balance the wine, my love. Let me know what you wish to do next."

"Mm." He said. But there's a joyful tune in his hum as he kisses her back, so that means yes he is glad. They mated before and he looks forward to mating again. Her belly is not swollen yet.

For now, he's looking forward to a peaceful evening. "I would like that. And I'll go to whatever entertainment they offer on board that amuses you."

A soft sound leaves her as he kisses her. She loved how he speaks so much without saying a single word. She feels giddy from the kiss as she picks up how glad he was.

Another kiss before smiling softly. "They have some games back there are also a couple's massage package."

"Hrm. As long you're in there with me." He didn't like being touched, not by strangers, but he won't say no to a professionally down message if it means to loosen up the tension and try to relax. "It would help with the stiffness of my shoulders."

"As for games, I have all the time to play with you." Since he isn't...a fun player so to speak, but he tried it before and he doesn't dislike it.

[Down for basically any scenario.]

[ SHE DESERVES THIS. Probably no 7, 9, or 10, and honestly 12 is probably the hardest no-go and 6 might be a bit annoying for her, BUT everything else is great! ]

[Oh boy, a large body of water. I'm sure no curse hijinks could result from this! Open to all prompts! Crosscanon and assumed CR welcomed!]

[Open to all scenarios! Up to any AUs and crosscanon as well as assumed CR is welcome!]

[ooc: Can be a pet person au or non-WoL viera oc au up to you!]

It was a sunny day and Atreus followed his beloved on the trip out on the deck. It's a vacation they both can afford. Sunny blue skies, oceans surrounding them, warm weather, and a view of the dolphins passing in pods and the seagulls flying high in the sky. He puts on his glasses, fixes his hair, and brush the fur of his ears. The night before it was hectic with all the packing, then the next day boarding and waiting on the long line to board, but here they are with the whole day to themselves.

With a gentle squeeze of her hand to start their day together, "Where do you want to eat?"

[ooc; We can do our buns!]

It was good to be a part of a large family that has connections. Very good as it provided discounts for top of the line cruises. Leanne stretches as she walks about the deck, only stopping to smile back at him. They were able to get the best rooms on the cruise for a very low price. The sea is truly the best place to be as she walks hand in hand with her beloved, Atreus, wearing her normal clothes and leaving her tome back in the room.

At the gentle squeeze, she goes to ponder a moment, adjusting her own glasses. "Lets get some ice cream! Perhaps one that we can share?"

Under the sun out here in the oceans, her freckles can be more easily seen.

She and the family certainly has the advantage over the seas. Once Atreus gets over the seasickness and stop feeling a little green from motion sickness, he is able to enjoy the warm weather and sunshine.

"You're more used to the sea than I am." He said. Wearing his normal sharlayan sage robes. "But I'm feeling better and now I'm hungry for lunch." With a nod, "Ice cream sounds good."

She couldn't help but to giggle at his sea sickness. Leanne gives him some tips on how to get over it quicker so he won't be at the mercy of the sea.

"Hee, was fished out of it and was raised on it me 'hole life. The stormy seas was used as a lullaby ta me." They must had looked like quite the duel. One in a pirate outfit was the other was in the garments of sages. "After ice cream then we can have lunch where ever you like."

She goes to lead him towards the ice cream. "We can do whatever we want. Just let me know if they give you any troubles."

[ ota, m/m for shipping considerations, will probably just end up talking about his partner a lot. ]

[ He'll wander off a lot and may just start playing the piano in one of the entertainment lounges. ]

[ Open to any scenario! ]

[Working as a cruise ship singer and relaxes on days off. Surprisingly the only time he ever appears to unclench. No to 7, 9, 10.]

Piccolo has absolutely been dragged here against his will and is trying his best not to enjoy it. Still, he pulls off shades well, doesn't he?

Optional prompt

[ Ignoring all the frivolities, Piccolo perches with his arms crossed on the bough of the ship. Staring out over the night sea, contemplating things and letting the air float over him. Wondering if he could get away with just flying off, mostly, but philosophically pondering the shapes of the waves. His days as a world's god are mere memories, but basking in the beauty of a world will never leave him.

And then WHOCK he gets a beachball hit him in the back of the head. ]

Hey! What do you think you're doing!?
