[AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM JUSTIN LAW] [Oct 26, 8am]

[guillotineofgod]

Having been forcibly volunteered into babysitting overseeing this endeavour, the Death Scythe Justin Law waited out front of the boarding ramp to the ship to speak to the Guests as they arrived in clusters from the mirror. For someone about to depart on a luxury cruise, he didn't appear too thrilled. In fact he was rather serious, and perhaps just a shade or two shy of his usual blank-faced neutrality.

He'd been roped into this duty, and by virtue of that this was his cruise, so by God there would be absolutely no shenanigans.

"Attention, please!"

Sadly, his following words were equally loud, since he was forced to speak above the volume of the music blaring out of the earphones he was wearing. How they could be loud enough to drown out his voice otherwise was anybody's guess.

"Before embarking, each of you are required to first familiarize yourselves with the rules and regulations in effect for the duration of this expedition! If you have any questions or require clarification..."...Don't bother him, please, because any help

[...Captain Law is going to allow this.]

[...have one of my best guns, buddy]

[Swimming pool on the ship.] [26th/~2pm] [OPEN]

[couragemantra]

[ Hey everyone, it's Kurt. And he will have none of that sand up his swim-shorts. The very thought of sand even touching them, or the designer tank top he's wearing, makes him shudder. He also has a cute hat on, as well as more SPF 100 than could coat a baby elephant from head to tail.

Oh, and did you know? Kurapika healed his voice up just enough so he's speaking almost normally, now! Just a little rougher and lower in pitch than usual. He's just about to sit at the edge of the cruise ship's pool, thinking about possibly getting his feet wet! Just whatever you do, don't get his hair wet!

And by that, of course I mean feel free to get his hair wet if you want a show. And by show I mean "bitchfest". ]

[lets_go_partner]

[Well look who it is! With a tall glass of some fruity drink or another (complete with umbrella), Yosuke bounced over to where Kurt was laying down, unintentionally blocking his sun. He was dressed simply, in board shorts that looked hastily picked out (most likely by someone else; Yosuke didn't have the money to buy his own yet).

Taking in his outfit -- those shorts, dude... -- Yosuke privately wondered how the hell he didn't notice before? Hindsight 20/20, apparently. Who knew gaydars had hindsight?]

Hey! Thought I'd find you out here.

[couragemantra]

[ Kurt had just sat down at the edge of the pool before he was turning around at the sound of a familiar voice. He surveyed his friend's friend (or just... his friend?) briefly, taking note of the generic swim trunks and the... surprisingly gay drink.

He smiled up at him, though, and patted the spot by the pool right next to him. ]

Have a seat. And am I seriously that predictable?

[lets_go_partner]

Just a little. [Yosuke couldn't help the way his mouth twitched up into a smile when he heard Kurt speak. It was hardly the first, or even the second time. They'd chatted a bit on the way over, and Yosuke made his fuss then. Still, it felt like a weird treat, to really speak with him.]

What are you up to out here? [Yosuke wrinkled his nose, suddenly hit with the chemical smell of ten million galleons of sunscreen.] And what's that?

[Dining Area!] [OCT 26th/Morning] [OPEN]

[lets_go_partner]

[In the rush of getting to the mirror on time (he overslept; the damn cold had only just cleared up), Yosuke managed to go without eating before now. He'll be hunting around, foraging for something to nibble on, pluck for bothering.

If you've heard about a little excursion to find dates to the bonfire later, Yosuke might have some answers to your questions. ...Despite it supposedly being a Super Secret Operation and all.]

[DINING HALL/BREAKFAST] [OCT 26th/MORNING] [OPEN]

[donttelldaddy]

[Likewise, Lili hadn't eaten breakfast before she left, either, and now sat at a table in the dining hall poking at a croissant. Is he brave enough to approach her?]

[lets_go_partner]

[Well it's better than sitting alone! Besides, he's kind of curious where she got that.]

So you managed to find food, huh?

[donttelldaddy]

You didn't think they would take us out for a day and then starve us, did you?

[Beach swimming!] [26th/~4pm] [OPEN]

[oopsnoclothes]

[ Gray is a simple guy, really. He likes going around in nothing but swim trunks. He likes a cool breeze (though the breeze here is a little too warm for his liking, it's not totally uncomfortable). He likes messing around in the clear blue ocean and alternating between surfing and swimming and occasionally coming back on land for the sole purpose of flinging some water in someone's face as a joke.

He's about to head into the water again, surfboard in hand. He may or may not accidentally step on a poor innocent crustacean creature in the next two minutes. ]

[itsnotstupei]

[Junpei doesn't care about the poor crustacean creature, but what he does care is about the pain in his soul following the (destined) absolute failure of Operation Babe Hunt. But still, he tries to man up and recover from his wounds! And he does that by currently floating around in a tube just a bit in deeper waters in the direction of where Grey is heading.

...what, this is a perfectly acceptable way of doing things right.]

[oopsnoclothes]

[ Gray's just about to fling his leg over the surfboard now that the water is deep enough when he feels a sharp pain in his foot. He doesn't yelp, exactly - he's felt worse by far, after all - but it does come as a surprise. There's some kind of surprised sound coming out of his mouth.

It's not a yelp though. ] What the hell-?!

[itsnotstupei]

[That kind of startles Junpei out from his reverie of failure and mourning, and the teenager makes a surprised yelp of his own as he scrambles a little on his tube. At least he doesn't capsize, but after a moment he's sitting up and looking towards the source of that shout.]

What happened?

[Overlooking the Water] [Oct 26, Midday] [OPEN]

[blue_darkslayer]

[For a fair portion of the middle of the day, Vergil could be found out on the ship's deck leaning forward with elbows against the rails, seemingly engaged in little more than looking out into the nearby ocean and musing. It would be remiss of him to neglect on valuable contemplation time while he's considerably more relaxed and at ease now than he has been in quite some time.]

No doubt once he is back in Death City trouble would start up again, so he has to take advantage of the brief vacation. As should anyone else, if they have particular need of him.]

[For the curious: Vergil has eschewed his usual boring attire for black board shorts and an open white shirt, in what is perhaps the only known case of him willingly walking around showing off his abs like his idiot twin brother.]

[sendthefallen]

[Having so many different areas of the ship and the beach have given Yuna plenty of things to do, and so she'd spent much of the morning just checking everything out and talking with different people. Eventually, though, she'd decided on taking a short break, and had headed back up onto the ship to find a relaxing spot. Currently, she's wearing a light yellow sundress, which flows out softly in the breeze.

She sees him from a bit further down the ship, looking out over the water silently, and seemingly deep in thought. She makes her way over cautiously, not want to either bother or startle him.]

Hey~ [She calls out to him quietly, warning him of her approach instead of just simply walking up without a word. Yuna steps up beside him softly afterward, placing her palms on the banister and looking out at the ocean. It reminds her of home, and of her boat ride to Kilika. Her expression is somewhat morose at the thought.]

It's pretty, isn't it?

[blue_darkslayer]

[Vergil began to blink away his thoughts and shifts slightly at the sound of his name carrying in the air. Tilting his head aside, he glanced at the figure he thought was Yuna out of the corner of his eye before turning to fully regard her. She looks... nice. He's sure the sea breeze has at least in part something to do with that, as well.]

[Once he remembers how his mouth works, he smiles very faintly.] It is. [He spares her a thoughtful look.] As are you, if you don't mind me saying so. [He couldn't go and forget the valuable advice Mustang had given him during the last social occasion, and now is as good a time as any to put it to work.]

[Glancing back out to the water, now.] Find anything interesting? I have to admit I haven't had the opportunity to properly look around. [Too much musing. He's sure that now Yuna's found him, though, his time will soon be occupied by doing a myriad of other things. He had readily agreed to come on the cruise with her, after all.]

[sendthefallen]

[Yuna smiles back gently, pleased to see one on his face, no matter how faint. That is a good sign, and she's glad he seems to have found a way to at least attempt to relax. His words are unexpected, however, and they have her glancing away slightly as a light heat settles in her cheeks. Being complimented by him gets to her every time.]

No, I don't mind. [Not at all.] Thanks you.

[Her own gaze moves to the gently rolling water at well, though her attention is fully focused on him.] There's quite a bit set up on the beach. There's several group games set up, like building sandcastles, and some kind of game called 'volleyball.' [She runs a few fingers through her hair as the wind rushes through it for a moment.] I think I like it better up here, though.
