Sarria had been quietly listening to what the others were saying and doing, feeling somewhat bad for Sim and his 'ruined' boa. In an attempt to perhaps cheer Zanna up, or at least get her in a better mood, she gave the other Simu a smile. The smile faded quickly when she felt the boat move, "What...are they doing?" she asked, speaking in only a whisper as she watched the paniced people start to lower the boat.
Doing her best to remain calm, she tightened her grip on her carry on bag and bit her lower lip. The second the boat made contact with the water, Sarria looked over the edge of the lifeboat uneasily; the waves seemed rather high for her liking. Then, to make things worse, she noticed they were moving further away from the cruise ship. "...The...boat." She said quietly, more to herself than anyone else in particular as she watched it slowly fade away from sight in the fog.
The girl quickly began losing her calm attitude after losing sight of the boat went to cling to the closest Simu to her, which happened to be Sim. Rather then appear cool and collected, she began to look as though she was beginning to let panic set in despite her attempts to avoid it.

Aurora had started to freak out as well, the hand clinging so tightly to the boat on her side that it had started to go ghostly white. What were they DOING? There hadn't been any sort of order or anything, and Aurora was SURE that they could have waited a tiny bit longer!
She watched the ship vanish in dismay, feeling a bit sick as the ocean's waves rocked the tiny boat around. Aurora was on the side of the boat, so it seemed even worse for her. She didn't even really have any sort of waterproof coat on, and was starting to feel wet and upset. The sun didn't do any good, a chilly wind wouldn't stop blowing.
"It's... it's okay, right? We'll find another lifeboat, if they put us down then there's gotta be others... right?" Aurora asked, but it was a very quiet voice that asked. Aurora doubted anyone would even hear her.

Ronin woke up as the others began to feel uncomfortable and blinked. He was a child, he needed his sleep and because of this he began to feel grumpy. But after all, the young Simu didn't say a single word.
Steal blue eyes crossed the water as he leaned over the edge of the boat slightly. Much too deep for swimming purposes and now they were alone on this thing called sea and he couldn't be alone. Damn stupid thing called sea...
Alright, he had liked this one evening together with people, but now he began to need this time for himself. He reached for his luggage and pulled out his flute. Finally time for doing something nice. Ronin wasn't scared by the thought of not coming back home, he just wanted to let his mind rest for a moment. So he closed his eyes and started to play 'When the saints go marching in'.

"Bringin' the boat down..." The teen leaned back as the boat began to jerk down, grumbling about incompetent staff on the cruise ship before her eyes seemed to dull a bit. Elijah was still in there. Not on a boat because she would have seen him and his guardian, with their large wings and all.
Well ********, with their wings the two of them could just fly their asses to safety for all Zanna cared. At least, that's what she told herself.
Eyeing the waves, the teen dipped a hand into the water over the side absently with a light grin, "Seems like Poseidon shares the same mood as I do right now..." It was muttered absently, and she didn't even think twice about who she had just referred to as if it were second nature. Zanna turned her eyes back up to everyone in the boat, smirking lightly at their various states of panic. "I hope nobody gets sea sick... or sunburnt.."
The last comment was directed at Sim and Kami because of their pale skin, not being in the mood to throw out a 'sweetheart' act with her headache still pounding.

"And who is Poseidon?" Sim asked, arching a brow at Zanna, "Some unfashionable chap who has powers over the weather?" he muttered, "And fear not, while many things can make me feel ill, the sea is not one of them." he added, "And as for sunburn, thanks and praises should be sung in the name of my mother." he declared, taking out the bottle Huni had forced him to bring along.

"God of the seas... Quite tepramental..." The teen mused, stretching out comfortably as her eyes watched the angry whitcaps froth against the boat, allowing her body to rock naturally with the boat. Finally looking up, her eyes caught Sim's in a smirk, "If you don't want that boa of yours anymore... I can always use the feathers for extra arrows..."

Sim pursed his lips, "Well as long as this Poseidon chap doesn't ruin anymore of my clothes, we should get along just fine. And no you may not have my feather boa! Mauled as it is, once I hone my skill of fabric repair, I should manage to restore it." he beamed proudly, then realized he seemed to be bragging, not good. "That is if we LIVE long enough!!!" he wailed.

"Feathers aren't fabric you know..." Her head throbbed as she gave him a less than friendly grin, looking up at the sky before pulling out her knife and beginning to absently wittle away at the wooden boat to pass the time.

"Fabric is not limited to cloth..." Sim smiled mysteriously and said no more, instead he contented himself to rubbing some of the sunblock on his exposed body parts.
((I researched the origin and meaning of the word Fabric XD Pheer meh!!!))

Ura was finding it rather odd for him not to be spazzing over all this. Well, sure he almost had a heartattack when the stupid crewmen basically dangled and then plunged their little boat over the edge and into the ocean below. That really wasn't cool and Ura had enough on his mind as it were.
But after that, he was sure he would have spazzed further as the waves pushed their lifeboat out further to sea and the empty water. In all honesty, he was finding it rather tranquil. The ocean didn't bother him much, it was soothing. And he was often finding himself just staring out at it with his eyes half lidded as the others went on around him, yeah he was just really zoning out there. He liked the water, aside from being stuck in a boat with a few people he couldn't stand at the moment.
But, maybe he should be worried he wasn't getting all paranoid. Maybe get paranoid at the lack of paranoia? Nah, maybe in a bit... water was bobbing about all pretty like. Ura stared, zoning out Sim and Zanna as they squabbled over the meaning of feathers and fabric.

Aurora stared at the water beside her, clutching ot the ring. It was probably an unnecessary fear, but Aurroa had the image of stripping naked and jumping on someone if she got a drop of water on her ringless-self. As if the ring was taunting her, it seemed to tingle around her finger.
Of course, it was just because she was slightly allergic to the metal. But right now, that wasn't what Aurora was thinking. She was thinking, 'NYMPH WANTS OUT, OH NO' and could only clutch harder to the metal.
But after a few hours, with Ronin's cheerful music and the conversation between the others, Rora calmed down and finally managed to relax. Only Sarria, after all, knew about Aurora's problem with water. And they were hardly going to push her in.
...but now Aurora was bored. And she was seriously wondering about the stupid cruise ship. Where were they?! It was supposed to be on Titanic, with other boats coming to save the day. Stupid boats.

By now, Sarria had pulled herself together, and realized she hadn't mediated yet. Considering now was as good as any other time, Sarria went to rest her elbow on the edge of the lifeboat and stare into the water for something to do while she started out. She still felt somewhat uneasy about the whole thing, but perhaps it was more of a sense of caution. The ocean was unpredictable, and Sarria really didn't want to be caught off guard.

"My wings are exhasted," Elijah hisses through gritted teeth, flying not too far behind his guardian.
Tobias turns over with his backside to the water, giving the complainer a good hard look. "They aren't," he concludes, his own matching set of wings making almost lazy thrusts through the air.
Elijah rolls his pale eyes, focusing on a ripple on the water hundreds of feet below. Nothing but water for HOURS. How the hell is a guy supposed to stay sane in conditions like this? "What d'you mean, they aren't? We've been flying forever, airhead. I don't see why my wings can't possibly be tired."
Giving a short laugh, Tobias regains his normal flight position, though spreads his arms out in immitation of the wings on his back. "They were made for this kind'a stuff, Lij!" he chuckles aloud, the exhilaration he known and loved long ago making a well welcomed reappearance. "I flew myself around the world, from city to island to iceburg to meadow to town.. and I was your very age when I did it. I know you a lot more than you think I do, kid!"
Moving his eyes off the ripple so far below the pair, Elijah glares pointedly at the back of Tobias' head. Great. Stranded in the middle of nowhere with no land in sight, and stuck with this know-it-all nutjob. If sanity didn't eat him first, he'd surely drop straight into the ocean when his wings give out. But with a comparison comment on the strength of their wings, and with pride pulsating through his veins, he grits his teeth harder and decides against making any more comments that could compromise his wings' reputation.

RP Prompt and RP Choice
As the day continues, various things happen.
Two sharks circle the boat for hours, getting pretty close to the side. They don't stay around longer than five hours.
Possibly islands, or clouds, are seen on the horizen to boatpeople. The clouds that are seen often cause people to think they're seeing something that they're not. (And flying people?)
And compartments are found containing these items:
Waterproof/fireproof blankets. (15)
Flashlights and extra batteries
Water proof matches
Flare gun and flares
Water bottles and water
Sunscreen
Life jackets
Knife
Two coils of rope, one thick, one thin. (Fifteen metres long each.)
Two sets of oars
Food in packets, mostly dried and for quick eating.
First aid kits (2)
Book on first aid.
Swiss knives
Fishing knife
And finally, as the sun gets low, there's three islands that are viewable. They are reachable by the lifeboat, if people row. IC pick one.
Island one- Longest of them all. This island is equal in jungle/grassland, with only one half of it rising into a gentle semi-highesh slope. The grassland is clearly near flat, and the reef curves around the jungle partly.
Island two- This one isn't the largest or longest. It has a small mountain on one end of the island. Then there's a long grassy/jungle flat area that takes up most of the island. It dips down low for a little while then raises up into a grass and rock hill that probably has a lot of bird life. There's no reef, only shallow water but there are clear signs of tall rocks jutting around protecting most of the water.
Island three: Mostly all mountain and jungle. It is surrounded by a reef, and has the tallest mountain out of all of them. The first mountain is large and steep, the second one on the other side of the mountain half the size and just as steep. The flattest areas are in-between the large mountain and the smaller one.

It was pretty boring, and pretty damn annoying, being on that tiny little boat with a massive headache, no Elijah, and too many ******** happy people. The teen would sneer every so often, making a motion to her belt for her knife several times, but stopping each time with a gritting of her teeth.
Finally her boredom was broken when two sharks came to circle around the small life boat. Reaching out, her fingertips caught the dorsal fin of one of the two, letting her fingertips play along the water's surface, creating light splashes as if trying to entice the sharks to 'play'.
Maybe she could feed Rora or the pink one to these two beautiful animals, now THAT would be a lovely sight. Nature at it's prime. Discovery Channel LIVE!
Zanna was about to ask everyone if anyone wanted to swim, but the two seemed to leave at that notion, the teen cursing them absently for ruining her entertainment possibilities.
It was then that her eyes moved upwards, catching the sight of wings briefly before shaking her head and passing it off as a strange cloud pattern.
Maybe a nap would be good? Sighing, the teen finally caught sight of something in the distance several hours later, causing her to jump up and sit up straight. "Land." She murmered, eyes scanning through the three islands that were becoming clearer by the second. "Uh, hey... We'll reach that island faster if we row..." Pointing to the middle island, since it was the straightest path, Zanna finally looked down the the people in the boat, making motion to the oars at the bottom.
