A small passenger ship leaves the dock, heading off toward the horizon. A stately older man with iron grey hair, a neatly trimmed beard, and a distinct sparkle in his blue eyes stands proudly at the bow, staring out over the distance before turning to the gathered passengers. "As you may know, my name is Daniel E. Whorl Sr, and I won't get into the specifics of what's coming as we should arrive within the hour, and quite honestly, it's one of those things you must simply see for yourself!" Smiling with warm confidence, he continues, "You should all have been given a guest pass when you boarded, and if you look on the back you'll find that you've been designated a group of sorts to tour the park with."
On the back of the passes were cutesy little stickers bearing names like Dragon, Mermaid, and Unicorn. "We all have quite the adventure ahead of us," he chuckled, observing some of the gusts reactions to this, "...so I would suggest you use the trip over to get acquainted with your group mates."

It was obvious that Harlan took it as a personal affront that he be placed in the gnome group, of all things. It was because he was short, wasn't it? He made sure to add discrimination to his mental laundry list of offenses.
Shoving his glasses up his nose, Harlan Wimple Attorney at Law inhaled huffily and proceeded to seek out others of his group. It was crucial that they stick together, as there was safety in numbers. He'd read that in a survival book once.
He'd also been an eagle scout for three weeks. His mother had made him drop out because of his terrible allergies.

"T'aint me." An elderly woman standing somewhere behind him remarked, holding up her ID in one hand and placing the other on her hip.
"An' thank the Lord for that," she added brusquely.
She peered intently at the back of her own pass. "DRAGONS," she called abruptly, in a watery but firm voice, "DRAGON GROUP?" Glenda let her id fall back to her chest, and glanced sidelong at Harlan, rummaging in her bright pink fanny pack.
"Glenda," he pursed his lips as he straightened his glasses, his toupee fluttering like a lost little bird, "do you mean to tell me that you are a part of the Dragon group?"
He paused a little dramatically.
"And... yes, I would like a sweetie."
Whatever that was, he hoped he wasn't allergic to it.

She gave him a (relatively) toothless smile, and handed him a slightly dingy foil-wrapped candy.
"Oh, goodness me, is that what I said? Why, thank you so much for noticin, Mister - " she squinted at his ID, sticking her tongue out a bit in concentration, "Harlin'."
She cracked her neck, and then her fingers, one by one. It was an interesting feat, and the sound it made was not unlike a barrel of firecrackers going off all at once. "I hate boats, y'know, the ocean always gives me th' vapors somethin' awful," she continued conversationally.

Chris had been jotting down some notes in the small notebook he always carried with him when Mr. Whorl started to speak. He looked up from his book to listen then looked at the back of the pass to find the sticker mentioned. It wasn't hard to hear the elderly woman call out so he calmly moved closer to where she was. "I'm part of the dragons group ma'am." He said and pushed his glasses farther up on his nose.
Guest Name: Chris Smith Guest Profession: Fantasy writer Physical Description: Lightly tan skin, brown eyes and short brown hair. He typically wears green shirt and pants, a gray and light green hoody, dark blue glasses, and black and gray sneakers. [Like this] Brief Character Profile: Chris keeps to his self most of the time since he generally had his head in the clouds, thinking up plot lines, characters, story twists and such for his books.

"Alright! Motherf'in Unicorns!" Jean Toulouse exclaimed from her seat, holding her ID up like the grouping was a personal accomplishment. She stood up in the seat and looked out over the crowd. She yelled into it, "Who else likes virgins?!"
Guest Name: Jean "Tooly" Toulouse Guest Profession: Special Effects Makeup Artist/Professional Vlogger Physical Description: Tooly's lean and lanky despite being rather short, and is decidedly androgynous. She likes to dress in faded, comfortable jeans, and concentrates an unnerving amount of color on her upper body. Her arms are covered in tattoos, which she'll proudly tell you she designed herself. She has very short, bleached white hair, and cool green eyes. Brief Character Profile: Tooly has made a place for herself on YouTube as a clever makeup artist, specializing in creating, and showing off a plethora of outfits and makeup based on mythology and fantastic creatures. She's been commissioned for movie monsters. She's got more energy than her small stature can handle and it tends to show in a lot of fidgeting, and compulsive sketching.

A gaunt looking man wearing oversized sunglasses sat in his own corner, texting away. Occasionally, he would look beadily towards the other occupants in the boat. He pushed a few more buttons on his phone and then moved to a single page, a forum thread, hitting the 'reply' button.

Tony Stark walked into the classroom. He was really tired of them calling him away from more important duties as he looked around. More chums, this was stupid. Why was he here again? Oh right, important role model.
"All right class," Said Tony Stark, without his Iron Man armour, "Today you will be learning how to use superhero gadgets. Everyone get your equipment ready.
He paused a little bit.

Roll 1d100 to attempt to use a gadget and fly. The lower your roll, the less able you are to fly. Make sure you QUOTE people you are talking to!

'Tony Stark' currently has a tag with a unicorn on one side. His name written on the tag is 'Tony Stark'. He is a thin, nondescript man wearing extremely oversized sunglasses. It looks like somewhere along the line of duty, he forgot what hygiene means.

Harlan shoveled the candy into his mouth and proceeded to look properly horrified by everything that seemed to suddenly happen. Taking out a small notepad he immediately started jotting down notes with a pencil.
Glenda turned around, peering at the young man with perhaps more scrutiny than necessary. Her gaze seemed to linger on the notebook and glasses the longest. "'Course you are, 'course you are," she replied finally, giving him a wry grin.
"Y'like boats, dear? Oooh, what's that you've got there?" She pointed at the notebook, just coming short of poking it with a calloused finger.
Guest Name: Glenda M. "Alligator" Gautreaux (Gator Gautreaux) Guest Profession: Wildlife expert, conservationist and naturalist Physical Description:Glenda! Short, tan, always a little grungy looking, she wears an obscene amount of plaid shirts with cargo pants and is rarely seen without her trademark cigar or bottle of Bud Light. Brief Character Profile: Ms. Glenda M. Gautreaux, better known as "Gator Gautreaux", earned her name as an internet sensation. She became internationally famous with her self-titled Youtube series, "Gator Gautreaux's Swamp Stories" early last year and earned a few endorsements for a cable TV series based on her misadventures on the bayous of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. She has education to back up her claim to fame, however - she earned her undergraduate in Forestry Management and Environmental Management systems in Eunice, Louisiana, and has been working with the governments in the gulf coast to preserve wetland environments.
Glenda herself is a very no-nonsense woman in her early 60's. She doesn't understand why she's become a Youtube icon, or really even what it is - her grandkids film her segments and post them in her name. She takes her cause very seriously, although she isn't good at politicing and cusses like a sailor. She's used her newfound clout to get early access to the park, and, while skeptical, is interested in the kind of habitats they've created for the creatures they claim to display.

“Dragons. I am liking the sound of that.” Rebecca walked over to the group with her camera slung around her neck, it’s case dangling from her side. She was ready. She was dressed to hike, wither it was along the paths of the park or up a cliff, in boots, a pair of cargos with lots of extra pockets complete with a chain hooked to her utlity belt, and a light t-shirt covered by a jacket with the National Geographic logo on the left breast. A lip ring dangled from her mouth and moved as she spoke. She watched the others and searched for others in her group with a little smile. Daniel Whor had something good up he sleeve, and it might make her a good buck. She heard the word dragons and walks over to the older woman and the man writing notes. She paused at the man, “Are you a writer? My last partner did that all the time, everywhere we went, he couldn’t come today… we were in Africa and Malaria.. He got it good.” She shrugged. “Anyway, I’m Rebbeca, Photographer and all around shooter, and I’m also a dragon.
Meanwhile, somewhere on the boat, Blake had her phone out and was reading something on it. Idly reaching up she brushed a stray hair away from her face, tucking it behind one ear. She was sitting with one knee crossed over the other, not really smiling currently. Reading something interesting, she started to type away at the screen a moment later.
She could not help but laugh at the post from Tony, knowing too well how to reply already as it was.
THIS IS MARVEL ACADEMY RP
In a corner of the room, with his arms crossed over his chest, he could not help but smirk as Tony Stark once again was late. He was always late.
"I dont need your... strange puny trinkets to fly." He had Mjolnir. He did not need anything else.
Yes, she was a woman who RPed Thor on a Marvel RP forum and she just in characterly refused to roll your dice, Tony. Dwi.

What kind of reply was that? He paused for a second to stare blankly at some person - some chick screaming about virgins for some reason - before returning back to the cell phone, a reply formulated.
THIS IS MARVEL ACADEMY RP
"Seriously?" He pressed his lips together, extremely annoyed. "Who invited this guy, someone just escort him out. This is a learning environment and I am trying to conduct a teaching exercise."
He pointed at a sign that said at the back of the door Intelligent Personnel Only.
God, that rper was annoying. They seriously always did that thing where they just wrote one-liners and their dialogue was terrible and they had the worst otps and continuously posted oversized gifs that really did not translate well to phones. Probably some dude wanting to get their e-peen on because they didn't have a large enough on in real life. a*****e.
And for good measure he decided to add:

Btw I'm actually out right now, I'm have REALLY COOL IRL THINGS to do and got invited to, so replies will be slow

Chris gave the woman a small polite smile back. "I haven't formed much of an opinion on them yet since this is my first boat ride." He said the looked where she had pointed. "When I keep my notes for future or current books."
He gave a nod in greeting to the young woman who joined them. "Yes I am. Primarily in fantasy. Pleasure to meet you Ms. Rebecca, I'm Chris. What do you prefer to photograph?" he asked curiously.
