👑🍷🙄

Since it seems others are fascinated with the idea of introductions, here's mine.

pleasure to meet you, maeve. you know, in a way, i'm something of a head engineer myself. and don't worry, i'll never get caught breaking anything around here, i can promise you that.

Well I guess this is where we are now? This is all new to everyone right? So I am not going to stress and instead embrace it. Hi figured we would probably need to get to know each other? Hi I'm Miles and I am one of the personal trainers on the ship and I can help you get into shape if that is what you want to do or help you understand what to do in the gym. If that doesn't float your boat, then I do love movies as well and I am quite the Marvel and Harry Potter, oh and also Lord of the Rings nerd. How is everyone else doing?

no, actually, we've all been here for awhile now. you're late to the party, and we're all silently judging you for it. did no one happen to mention that to you? damn. fake friends.

You are not wrong there my dude... definitely not going to chance the iceberg thing on a boat that's gotta keep us alive for eternity, I will not be responsible for potentially jinxing us, that's wayyy too much pressure for my tiny shoulders

good call. i'm sure someone will fuck this all up for us eventually, why risk making yourself a target for when we're trying to determine which one of us to eat first?

So.. Where to even start? The world has gone to shit and we're all here together. I don't even know what to say about that. I feel like a lot of you are acclimating well, but I'm pretty sure I'm still in panic mode. I feel like Troy in Community, in that one scene. You all know what I'm talking about. Does anyone else feel this way or are we all feeling chill now?

you know, i kind of hate that i know what scene you're talking about, just because the vagueness of that description lowkey pissed me off, but i think this is maybe the one instance that it actually works.

Since we're all technically neighbors now, potentially forever, I'd love to get to know everybody! I can start: my name is Kristy, I use she/her pronouns, and I'm a Midwife. My office is always open to anybody who might need to speak about sexual or reproductive health, and of course is equipped with a private delivery suite. I'm great at my job, I promise, and I've seen, like, a million vaginas at this point, so please know you and your baby are in great hands with me and you have nothing to be embarrassed about when it comes to those more personal, private areas.

since we're going to be neighbors potentially forever, don't you think it's better to keep the mystery alive for as long as possible? secrets keep people sexy. ...but i'm glad to know that my baby and my vagina are in good hands. i was super worried about that.

I don't want to sound dramatic, but between my cat running off and me searching everywhere for him, getting completely turned around on my way back, and then spilling glitter all over the floor of our suite, I feel like I'm going to either end up at the spa or a bar on my very first day here. Maybe both? This place also keeps taking me back to that Disney cruise my Lola and Lolo took me on when I was eight. Just one day into the trip, the weather did a complete 180 on us, and while I didn't get seasick myself, pretty much everyone else on the ship — including most of the actors — did. It definitely wasn’t the magical trip we expected, and thinking about it now isn’t exactly helping my mood either.

spilling glitter? really not helping yourself beat the allegations there, pal.

Ngl when the world started descending into madness I was kinda hoping for a Mad Max kinda situation so I could build the sickest bike the world had ever seen, but a boat's still pretty cool... do you think the captain would let me paint like... flames on the side or something?? Or like... maybe spikes or something on the hull, there's sharks in the sea right?? I mean I should figure out how to actually get to the parts of the boat I work in first, this place is a maze man, anybody know where the engine room would be??

flames feel pretty symbolic, considering how everything's been going lately. i'd say painting them could jinx us, but tbh? not sure that's possible at that point. just... avoid icebergs. that's got to be playing with fate just a little too much.
