{{ A LSS ROLEPLAY }} — (( ROLEPLAY THREAD )) — [[ PAD ]]
It’s 2021, the winter holiday season and the SS Anastasia is set to depart on a ten day long cruise throughout the Caribbean from Miami, Florida...
The ship belongs to a small cruise company called Argonaut Cruise Lines, based in Greece. It's no Royal Caribbean or Princess, but they're known for high quality service and have a small fleet around the world. The cruise ships are smaller to give what Argonaut calls "adventures" a homier, more personal feel.
You're one of 700 people aboard the Anastasia. You booked the cruise because you thought it would be a respite from the struggles of your daily life, and because Argonaut has a glowing reputation. It might be a bit pricier than most cruises, but from the food, the entertainment, and the sights to see, you decided it was worth it. And you decided on the Caribbean because it's cold where you're from, and you wanted to be warm.
It will be a chance to get away, and for the eight days, everything goes perfectly. The food is the best food you've ever tasted. You may not have your phone or access to the internet, but there are nightly plays and concerts, even movie screenings, so you don't even miss it. Your texts and emails can wait, and you take a respite in not knowing what's going on in the world for a week.
And the excursions are beautiful. White sand beaches. Turquoise water. There's swimming, hiking, kayaking, sunbathing, and the charm of the local towns.
It's a Saturday. A day at sea. Tomorrow you'll have an excursion day in the capital of Puerto Rico, San Juan. And then it's back to Miami. Back to your daily life. It went way too fast. But the day at sea is one final chance to enjoy the pleasures of the boat.
It's a normal afternoon. Maybe a little overcast and gray. You heard it might rain, but you aren't too worried about it as you treat yourself to a day in the spa. Your guests decided not to come with you, and you're looking forward to reconvening with them for a formal dinner in the ship's dining room.
But something terrible happens when you're in the spa. It quickly begins storming, and it's clear that this is no ordinary storm. Thinking fast, you do your best to remain in place. After a few minutes of the force of the storm throwing you back and forth, The Captain quickly comes over the PA to declare an abandon ship.
There's a problem. The storm has thrown debris in front of the entrance and, by all intents and purposes, locked you and the two spa workers in. There are life vests in the spa in case of such an emergency, and you throw them on. You try to get out, but it's no good. The spa is already beginning to pool with water. Once you're submerged, you're not sure how much time passes. It could have been a lifetime, but somehow, you haven't drowned. But you accept your death.
The next thing you feel is the warmth of the sun on your skin. You're laying in the sand. You're still wet, but the sun feels good. You open your eyes and see the three other passengers who were with you at the spa, but not the spa workers.
The last thing you remembered was being certain you were going to drown...
You look around, and see you're in paradise.
But something is terribly wrong. The island you washed up on is uninhabited. You know everyone will assume you were lost at sea.
And you only have each other.
