[act]Gilbert is standing at the docks, rocking back and forth on his heels, proudly and pointedly tipping his shiny Captain's Hat to any who make eye contact with him. He holds a bottle of champagne and two flutes.[/act]
Gilbert: Welcome! Oh...hold on a minute. You're not Elspeth.
All: [act]shake heads[/act]
Gilbert: [act]slightly crestfallen, hides champagne and glasses behind his back. [/act]
Emerald: Elspeth doesn't need the one-way trip to her Destiny any longer.
Gilbert: So...[act]more crestfallen[/act] she said you lot could use it?
MK: Yeap :D say...you got free wifi on this cruise?
Min: Why, MK? Not planning on any holiday hacking, are you? ;)
Gilbert: [act]winces[/act]
Ship...and...wi-wha?
Tanya: Wi-what aside, perhaps you can tell us where we're headed?
Gilbert: You don't know either?
[act]crickets chirp and focus lazily shifts to them[/act]
Cricket 1: In the end, I told her, if you can't make more of a commitment than that, I'm not prepared to sign half of my waistcoat business over to you!
Cricket 2: Good for you, so it should be.
[act]Crickets both realise they're being observed[/act]
Cricket 1: Do you mind?
[act]both of them flutter off in a huff[/act]
Ariadne: So, nobody knows where this ship's headed?
Gilbert: [act]holding head[/act] Woe, where is my Elspeth?
MK: Wait, what?
Your--? :-/
Emerald: [act]looking uneasily at the water[/act] Er, Gilbert...where's the ship?
Gilbert: [act]ignoring MK's questioning glares[/act] It doesn't arrive until later. She's to sail her maiden voyage, there's going to be a ceremony and everything.
Tanya: Oh :) sounds like fun!
Gilbert: [act]muttering and wandering further down the docks[/act] For
some, perhaps...

Welcome to the Obernet Mystery Cruise! While the Sea Dancer is yet to arrive to take us on our journey, feel free to mill around the docking bay to catch up with your fellow revelers.
The only guideline in this thread, is to...well, keep it a secret to the other Obernewtyn characters. You know how they love to crash our parties all the time ::)
We've sent out invitations to several key IC characters--
[act]cut to a picture of Min whistling idly, throwing an invitation marked R.Seraphim in the fireplace[/act]
--and they should be turning up well before we're set to embark.
For security measures, we've employed our old friends --
s*c*p s*c*p s*c*p
-- who will escort any gate-crashers or potential stow-aways from the vicinity during the course of the cruise.
The MoOs: Enjoy!
