"Yeah? I haven't had some in a few years either, so it's nice we can get a good dessert for once." One "hi", though, and she already felt like she'd done something wrong by not letting Gale know she was coming. Maybe that was rude somehow? Her face dimmed a bit, but she tried to hide it behind several bobs of her head at them. "Both are good! Well I don't know if I had lemon from Ben and Jerry's specifically, but they're good ice cream flavors! I'm getting some Triple Caramel Chunk because I really need something super sweet."

Much like certain people needed something super alcoholic.

Then Stormy remembered Dorian needed help, and thus she moved past them to start reading aloud the flavors one by one for him. "Butter Pecan . . . Candy Bar Pie . . . Cherry Garcia . . . Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Fudge Brownie . . . Hey, Gale, are you serious about that Vermonster thing?"

Ryan listened, curious to hear more about Saya's life during the time she had been a civilian. It was strange how they had only become hunters recently and yet, their previous lives felt like a lifetime ago.

However, as the conversation drew to an end, Ryan also noted that Saya's attention had been, once again, drawn towards that jewelers store. Not that he wouldn't have guessed. A lot of girls seemed to like shiny things. The fact that Saya was among them didn't seem to surprise him all that much.

"I do believe Saya wants to check out one store in particular." He answered. He had already finished his ice cream and was resting his chin on his hands with an amused look on his face. "Of course, you're free to browse it too Wilson. Since you seem to want to go there too." He added as his grin grew a little wider. Yes he saw the gesture too, Wilson.

When she mentioned her fancy dress, Jake only wanted to shirk away more. Stop making him look bad, Sherry, you're too fancy for him. He hadn't really expected Sherry to grab his hand, and so he hobbled awkwardly behind her, lifting his head to see they were headed towards...

Oh hell.
Dammit Sherry, what was with you and jewelry? Though, he had pointedly noticed that she had a distinct... lack of jewelry right now, which seemed somewhat odd. He was expecting earrings or a necklace or SOMETHING, considering she was usually decked out in her hunter gear, but... besides Armagnac's unsummoned form, she actually seemed kinda plain.

He somewhat hoped she wasn't planning on blowing her entire budget in there.

Woops.

Boyfriend alert (maybe).

Clearing his throat a little, he willingly allowed his newly acquainted mist partner to dance over to her friends - the one he was easier remembering as "patches" and the new boy, who's accent was familiar to him. British. Clearing his throat, he offered his hand out to the shorter man, trying to be civil.

"Dorian Côté, a pleasure to meet you, mm?" He tried to olive branch a little, before his attention was stolen again by Stormy giving him assistance with his je-ne-english well. "Oh! I know one of those well. In french, it's something like puce pâte à biscuits au chocolat." Deadpan, for a moment. "I think I would like that one, the cookie dough.""

It wasn't until they were actually in the store and she let go of his hand that she noticed his lack of any real protest. She looked at him for a moment, trying to read his expression.

"I just want to look for a minute," she said. She knew this wasn't his thing. He certainly wouldn't enjoy it. "Just a quick browse around..." She trailed off into a gasp as something shiny caught her eye. "Look at that."

She would be busy for the next several minutes. Lots of minutes. Her gaze lingered on some things more than others, and she stood in front of two or three pieces for a very long time.

She did not bring enough money with her for this. Not enough. At all.

"It's decided then!" Dakota wrapped his arm around Candace's waist, waiting for Otto to join them. "Not interrupting! And why would you need to pay me back?" Seriously it was no big. "Let's get you something pretty." He nuzzled her as they headed to the shop, Dragging Otto along with them.

Things got awkward really fast as soon as Stromy and the Dori came over and Ofelia couldn't help but notice how Gale shifted around the bag. A look of "ah ha" crossed her face, pretty much entirely directed at poor Gale himself, but she kept the smirk off her face and instead offered a somewhat reassuring smile. The redhead had no idea why she felt she needed to do that but it looked as though she wasn't the only one to feel the change - maybe Dori did too. Didn't matter though, not Ofelia's time nor place.

"Ah like sorbets the most 'cause the texture is fun. Back home Ah used ta make homemade ice cream sometimes when it got really hot out." She remembered using a plastic bag, ice, salt, and a lots of milk with creamer. The ice cream had tasted like s**t the first few batches but eventually a teacher took pity on her and bought her a proper ice cream crock. Life after that had been easy. "An' s'nice ta meetcha properly Dori...Dorian? Mah name's Ofelia." The redhead held her hand out to have it shaken....though the person behind the counter asked her order and she quickly pulled it back.

"Get whatcha ya want guys, it's on me." There was a wink with her eye that....was currently empty, and the sun hunter eagerly accepted the triple scoop (in a cup!) of lemonade sorbet. She could already feel her mouth stinging.

"━Σ(゚Д゚|||)!!"

Saya might have tried to protest but Wilson and Ryan were much better readers than Saya thought. No Wilson, Saya didn't think you wanted to go into a mostly-female jewelry store. She wasn't fooled, just disappointed by her lack of ability to keep things secret. Several hunters were already in there, dragging in other friends. That was amusing, as if they really were schoolkids gathered on a trip.

Saya knew what she wanted but she lingered around the store, making sure that this was the perfect gift before settling on it. Her indecisive nature wanted to call Ryan for help on selecting it but she was afraid Wilson might be tempted to come over too. Saya was avoiding you, Wilson. For all of ten minutes.

Saya called a woman over quietly to take it out of the glass box, making a secretive shh signal, as she whispered to the clerk. The box was gift-wrapped and packaged thrice, which the cashier thought as an odd request, but this insured it against the usual .. Deus incidents. Hopefully.

But considering the two males were in the store, Saya's discreet attempt was not all that discreet.

The slight shift in Stormy's expression was not missed by Gale, whose eyes seemed to keep moving back to her, whether he intended it to or not. He smiled a little, attempting to dispel some of the tension in his shoulders, pushing aside the knot in his stomach. Peering through the glass at the various containers of ice cream, Gale let his gaze roam, his eyes wide.

So many flavors.

<< You are most definitely still a teenager at heart, aren't you. >>

Shut up.

A hand was extended his way. Gale swallowed his pride and accepted it.

"Gale," he said quietly. "My name is Gale Gentry."

He shook the other's - Dorian's - hand quickly and let go, turning back to the counter and shifting minutely closer to Ofelia, hoping no one would notice that the more he tried to play it casual, the stupider he felt he looked.

"The peanut butter one, then," he told her. "In a waffle cone."

If he could fight her, he would have. Unfortunately, he'd probably just end up toppling over and making a fool of himself, so he had decided against it. Somehow, he had a feeling he was going to be dragged around all over the ship.

"...Whatever." he mumbled, deciding to stand off to a side as she looked around, somewhat glad that most of these things were... ridiculously pricey, and hoping that would deter her from buying anything. To him, jewelry seemed like a complete waste of money (this coming from the guy wearing some gold cross around his neck) and he tried to ignore the glare coming from the store owner, who already seemed to judge him as rift-raft from the clothes he wore. The scar probably didn't help either.

When Sherry called him over, he sent them a glare back, seeming to say "I'm stuck with her" and went to see what she was so fascinated with. He arched an eyebrow at the necklace she pointed at, and left out a soft chuckle.
"Oh look, it's the life tree."
In fact, the section she was checking out seemed to all have some tree-looking design, which was... actually kinda neat. And then he saw the price.

"Holy s**t." he hissed under his breath. "Do you even have the money for these?"
10 grand was very much out of his budget, but he wasn't sure how much Sherry had... or how long she had been here. No doubt she had more than him.

And then he noticed another group come in, the female he had no idea who he was, the blond male he vaguely recognized, and the tall death hunter...
He sucked in a breath.
"Holy s**t Wilson, I thought you died."
The last he had seen him, he was comaed in a shower. It was... somewhat nice to see that he was still alive.

And then the smile disappeared. “Very funny,” Wilson noted dryly as he briefly wiped their table with a napkin and tossed it into the trash. He casually stood by the entrance while Saya browsed the store. Wilson placed his hands in his pockets and was prepared to idly stand by for however long until he heard someone call out his name. “Huh?” He laughed, strolling over to Jake. “What? No way. I just got transferred to another base these past few months, but now I’m back better than ever.” Angling his head slightly so he could see where Saya was, he added, “So, how’ve you been?”

His eyes narrowed when he noticed Saya’s peculiar behavior. “Sorry, could you hold that thought for a moment? Let me just…” Wilson’s voice trailed off as he moved to sneak behind Saya. He watched the woman wrap the item for a few moments before he decided to chime, “So, who’s that for? Looks like it isn’t for yourself.”

"Attention," the boat quivered a bit as the PA system went on. "This is your captain speaking on behalf of our crew, welcome aboard. We will be leaving five minutes from now, and your rooms should be ready as well. Enjoy the rest of the evening and entertainment and have a fantastic voyage!"

A few of the non Hunter type of occupants cheered, others simply continued chattering, it was going to be a wonderful evening.


OOC

FREE TIME:

All characters have until tomorrow (evening) to wander around in FREE TIME. You can continue rping in the promenade, head to the casino, or break off into CRUISE PRPS in any of your rooms. As the next major installment (plot wise) is in the evening tomorrow (PST), if you do not finish your PRPS by then you can always slowly finish them on your own time throughout the rest of the event!

gaia_crown Room Distribution:
- Trainees get a basic room on Deck 7. It is a small, very narrow room equipped with a singular bed, a small window, and a tiny shower facility, as well as a cupboard. It is very tiny and modest.
- Intermediate Trainees get the same setup on Deck 8 except that they have a slightly larger bed, and a small balcony, openable, instead of a window.
- Full Hunters get a quite generous junior suite on Deck 9, about two and a half times the size of the trainee room. It holds enough space for a queen bed and another sofabed setup, has a large, spacious closet, a bathroom setup that actually is in a room of its own and not just a shower drawn by a curtain, a few wardrobes, and if you are lucky (roll 1d6, if you roll 1 or 6), a jacuzzi. The balcony extending outside also has chairs.

gaia_crown Special Events: Throughout the promenade and the casino, special GM events may pop up that lead to hints of what is to come and may help you in the future. These are optional but mostly beneficial!

"Exactly," Sherry said to Jake. And it was gorgeous to boot. Most of the things in here were. Not quite as rustic as most of her stuff, but so, so pretty. "I do not. No. I left some money in my room, and I have some funds set aside that I will not touch. Not even for..."

She cast a longing glance around her. Along with a wave and a smile to the others who she recognized as hunters. This mission was clearly too much fun so far, for everyone.

Gasping, Sherry went back to looking at shiny things in brightly lit cases. This store was really nice, and very distracting. Very, very distracting.

Not so distracting that she missed the announcement, though. The cruise was starting. Was this even real?

Stormy didn't take Ofelia's offer up immediately, hesitant to have someone pay for her. Even if the sun hunter meant nothing other than generosity, it just brought back memories here and there of being indebted to someone . . . a situation she hoped to avoid from there on out. But she knew her at least a little, and Ofelia was nothing if not earnest. "Thanks, Patches~ Triple Caramel Chunk in a cone, please! Dory-an wants Cookie Dough too."

Gale's smile was nice to see at least, even if Stormy was still trying to place what was going on through his head to ignore such an interesting topic as something like Vermonster, healthy or unhealthy. At least the boys were making nice! Maybe she ought not to disturb the ant hill of the death hunter's mind just yet.

"You made ice cream, Patches? That's so cool~" It was her (bad) attempt to inject some humor in the conversation via puns. "Was it hard? I did it once at a summer class--"

Suddenly the PA came on and she shut her mouth to listen. Oh hey! Roooooooms~ And their cards each guaranteed them one. She wondered if Nevada wanted to share still or would be staying with her twin . . . or someone else . . . "Great timing, huh?" she chirped. "Good dessert and a chance to kick back our feet."

As Mark himself wasn't too sure what he was having, though after the second shot, he did have to say he was really looking forward to that ice cream as that burning throat sensation was not doing much for him, he gave Maebe a cheers. "This is for you, good look-"

He had to stop his sentence short, nearly choking on his last shot as Kat mentioned He Who Must Not Be Named. But the Death assistant was so well behaved, as long as noone told on him. He gave Kat the stink eye. She wasn't going to tell on him was she? Evil Demon Spawn Sith Lords, trust not their kindness.

The shot glass was emptied anyway, to stack with the other three. Mark smacked his lips a little, rested his head on one elbow and sort of looked at Kat with a bleary expression. "What?" he managed to say intelligently. This was followed by a, "what mission - oooh yeah that. Yeah, I know about that."

It was really questionable as to whether or not he did and what that actually was.
