Current RP prompt

Quote:

A loud horn that echos throughout every cabin and every inch of the ship suddenly is heard, as the time ticks over to 9:06pm. And then with a sudden jolt, the ship has left port and is gaining speed as it leaves Gaia's waters. People stand along the lanturn lit edges of the ship, waving, streamers being thrown and smiles everywhere outside.

RP Prompt!

Now that the ship has left, there's only one thing to do!

Party!

There's a huge dinner tonight in the main ballroom. All Simu are invited (But they don't have to come, just expected to), all sharing one table.
Dress is formal, and it starts at exactly 10pm.

RP Choice:
Your Simu may choose: (Or make up something, if you want. XD)

Dinners:
A- Medditaranian. (Brodetto di pesce with herbed bread, Tarragon Roast Chicken with Zucchini Gratin, Baked Berry Cheesecake.)
B- Vegetarian. (Creamed Mushroom Soup, Black Bean Lasagna Rolls, Black Forest Trifle. )
C- (Greek Salad, Honey Smoked Turkey, Death by Chocolate.)

What more could you want?

Room mates.
Elijah and Sim will be in the same room.

OOC Note

Neith may move this soon but just as a note... Even though Neith and I are running this RP event, neither Zanna nor Aurora will reflect the fact that we know all the possible outcomes. They will simply be RPed IC along with the rest of them, which probably means Zanna will be rather... grumpy with most of the people.

Zanna: *Wonders if they'll allow weapons on board the cruise.* e.<;

So anyone participating, don't look to our characters' IC actions for OOC hints. n___n

Welcome to the very first 'Choose your own Adventure' Simu RP plot!

Although we can't, and won't reveal too much, here's the basic gist of what's to happen.

IC:

There's a huge 'Win a cruise with six of your friends!' contest currently going on to raise money for a Gaian charity. Neith's decided to pay for raffle tickets for anyone in the Simu group who'd like a ticket, and she's stuck the pamphlet along with tickets in the kitchen of the shop. Anyone who'd like to go, fill out a 'ticket' and stick it in the box next to the pamphlet.

The winner of the raffle will be allowed to choose exactly six others. (Five, if under 18, and a guardian.) And that winner will go on an all expenses paid CRUISE around some tropical areas north of Gaia! Yay!

When the raffle is drawn and a Simu 'wins', that Simu picks which adult will come, and they can pick a friend as well.
Then, Neith will randomize the names of all other companions/Simus to decide who'll also go.

OOC:

To sign up for this event, you'll need to tell us some things... and understand some things.

Firstly, after all people sign up their names, we'll randomize the names to pick the 'Winner' of the cruise. That winner may choose one adult guardian, and one Simu. The other four will be randomized again, to make it a random choice.

Aurora and Zanna will be going, but they'll not count as the 'six'. (Neith would insist, after all, she'll pay for them. ^^) If there's not enough to make up six, then they will be counted.

All Simu that don't go will have an equally important role a bit later on in the plot, but will stay in Gaia for most of it. (I promise!)

And if your character is picked to go on the cruise, that character will IC be away from Gaia for an amount of time. You can forfeit the cruise prize if you win a spot, and the Simu can stay home.

So, if that's all right, ask to be signed up!

This event will be simple enough. We tell you what's happening, about the location and what you can do. (For example, cruise ship's parties, what's there, what you can do for activates) Then we leave it up to you for a while to do whatever you like, with whoever you like. ^_^
Then, we'll give you another RP prompt. Again, we then leave it up to you to sort out how your character/s will go about fulfilling the prompt.
We might also give you a choice, for example:

-Question: Will you have salad, meat or fruit?
A- Salad. (Lush green vegies, tomatos, feta cheese, olives, greek salad dressing.)
B- Meat. (A basted roast lamb with a side of roast potatos.)
C- Fruit. (Fruit salad, with little bits of chocolate.)

Bad example, but that's it. You can either discuss what you'll choose as a group... or as individuals give us an A, B or C and we'll tally the votes.

This'll all take a while to finish, we won't be rushing the plot to move. We won't be rushing you to respond, although we might continue after a few days, even if a few haven't responded.

Things to Consider:

The Simu/Companion AND chosen adult Guardian must both go. (But, you may pick a different character other than the regular guardian. For example... If Aurora had been put in the signups and won the cruise raffle, she could ask for a friend of Kias, or a friend of Neith's to supervise.)

We don't expect you all to get along, IC. So don't think that's what we're trying to force on you. ^_^

RP Prompts do NOT have to be RPed out for hours. You can do a single diary entry, if you want, or one simple post explaining it all from the P.O.V. of one Simu.

RP Choices can be discussed in this thread, as long as they're done in (( )) thingys. Makes it easier to tell it all apart.

Rules

1. If you do go on the Cruise, you will not have to respond to every RP prompt. We hope that you will... but if you've got RL tying you down, every three or four prompts is fine. ^_^
2. Staff characters that go on the cruise (Staff being XBear, Emme, Neith) are not to be looked to for hints. They'll respond purely on how their character's personality... and the choices they make will have nothing to do with what we know OOC.
3. The RP options are important. We hope you at least have time to respond to them with either a vote, or your opinion.
4. Chattering, disccusion, ect. in the thread is fine as long as it's done in (( ))'s.
