Frieda senses 's inner thoughts as if she was broadcasting them. Frieda quickly checked to see what remained of the lunch that Weldon had packed for her before she departed for the Eros. She found a whole salami, a wedge of cheddar and half a small loaf of sourdough She quickly found Witchy marching toward the kitchen and stopped her. "Witchy, my dear. I hope that this can get you through until dinner...it's all I had left. And, here are some cookies too..."

She pawed the snacks over to Witchy and then nodded down the corridor. "I have to get back to , and , it seems we have lost ..." and with that brief explanation she headed back to the grand lounge to regroup with her friends.

"OH YUM! [B] YOU'RE THE BEST![/b]" Witchy hollers after Frieda, "Those little canapes were NOT doing it for me. I really needed some solid yummies with all that wine I'm drinking." and witchy heads back to and to share a bite or 2 with them. (maybe)

She also yells after Frieda (even though Frieda is already gone) "OOOOH, Is ok! Monsieur went and got her!"

But of course, Frieda was long gone, and the other guests give Witchy frowns for being so loud.

Hello! I would like to sign up! (We're not too late, right?!) Both and myself would like to be on a team. We're currently brainstorming a team name. :)

Welcome aboard! Let me know when you have a team name!

Gish nearly gets a drink spilled all over her and, not wanting to be drenched in spirits, flies up off the chair back and goes off to scout around.

Meanwhile Nicsy the shapeshifter (in mynah form), still perched on 's shoulder was being petted by , which she didn't mind at all, and was listening to the two discussing Sorn () , who she looks forward to meeting. (And briefly was there - life of the party it seems, that one! )

So many folks are talking now about all the guests that she's content to take in the chatter rather than say anything aloud. She ponders, though, that the letter-writer's father, Jels Forest Boreal the Third, is another rich deer husband with a wife who doesn't seem to really love him. Is this a trend or just a coincidence?

If there's another cervid couple where the husband is a business mogul and the wife is ready to throw him overboard or get the first cute male she sees drunk on champagne, Nicsy will assume it's the usual deer thing.

Maybe it's just as well for Aubrie Sami that her fellow isn't doing too well in business... But back to Carrie. Does this mean Carrie might have a brother or half brother who is called Jels the Fourth?

Webby wanders over to introduce herself to Miss Alexis Boreal to pick her brain on Fashion and styles of the ages ..

Nightshade slips quietly into the shadows the minute he spies the old tycoon. Garish tastes aside it's he's so called wife that terrifies him.

Admittedly Alexis's features would be termed beautiful if her expression ever changed. She looked like she permanently had something foul shoved just under her nose.

Nightshade had his fair share of women like her in the past. You might think that drink she's offering you is free but one way or another you will be paying dearly for it!

Willow attempts not to stare at the latest man people seem humble to. Hearing someone mention his name gave her no clues. Realizing she would have to study tonight rather then sleep if she was going to help at all elicited a sad sigh.

Were two daughters accompanying him? But this was a romance ship!

Willow secretly wished she was a little more knowledgeable in general.. somehow she didn't like half she saw.. including one of the daughters. Hoping her music will respond to the occasion despite her inadequacies, Willow strums quietly on her lute.

Chook like Willow ( ) was in the dark regarding some of her traveling companions although she would have been quite happy to drink the champagne Alexis sets aside or share with her a bottle of Caribou. Alas she was a female and certainly not handsome.

Willow continues to softly play but there is a small grin now appearing on her face after glancing toward seeing her eye the champagne with longing. Nudging her lightly with an elbow, Willow nods then looks at the full glasses of champagne while softly playing a bubbly song as if encouraging Chook to follow her instincts.

Chook gives a nod to Willow ( ) , gets up slowly from her where she is sitting and walks towards the bar and the empty seat next to Alexis. "Excuse me, but is this place taken?', she says. Alexis eyes Chook slowly up and down, sneers and replies, "No but I certainly do not want or need the likes of you anywhere near me!"

Lion arrives with in tow just in time to watch Mssr and Mdm. Boreal being piped aboard. "Mon Dieu!" he breathes.

:"This is boring! Poking sunbathers with a stick was a lot more fun...why did you take my stick ?" Tea demands crossly.

"Shh..."

"Don't you shh me, Frenchy! I want to know why you took the world's best poking stick from me, it was double pronged and sharp enough to guarantee maximum pain and suffering. It was perfect, now its at the bottom of the stupid ocean because of you."

"Watch, Watch and listen. This is going to be very significant, ma chere The'"

"Eww..." she whispers.

Lion couldn't help but agree with her. Scanning the room for his teammates , , and he nods or raises an eyebrow to each before going over to introduce himself to Msr Boreal the Elder. "Ah, Monsieur Boreal! So nice to meet a fellow entrepreneur! Allow me to introduce myself, I am Achille Delacroix, I am a security consultant for museums and private collections. This enchantress must be your wife! Enchante, Madame" he murmurs bowing over her hoof.

LOL I apologize for the liberties taken with your character

I think we got invited to the wrong ship. All these rich people...and here is us. I am thinking we are going to stick out like sore thumbs. (plus side we can fake being snooty better then those rebel peps)

Heiyu remains in the corner, but is amused at the appearance of the Boreals. No wonder this ship will be getting into trouble with them running the show she thinks to Mee who is sitting quietly at her feet.

Back into the SL forums - yay!

„Oh, the owner of the Boreal Line is boarding, too? Is this some kind of maiden voyage, then?“ Lysandra asked herself. Would it be safe, then? On virgin voyages, any number of things could go wrong. Not so much a problem for a water sprite yet she feared for her friends who weren´t used to long cruises and their snags perhaps.

However, the tycoon seemed to board his whole family, too, so he himself seems to think it is perfectly safe. He wouldn´t have a reason to endanger his family. Or the contrary? His wife looked as young as Lysandra knew his daughter was and very sexy, was she devoted to her husband in general? Who knows. Could be quite an interesting journey with two love-hate pairs aboard.

, "No, no, Gerty, you just keep your 'resting face' on, and everyone here will think we're all 'hotsy totsy' peeps, too" "Oh look, there's , looks like Monsieur Delacroix got her on board after all. Just think, Gerty! With all these unhappy couples here, looking like they'd be glad to have their spouse 'disappear', you might be able to help TEA have an accident, and no one will even notice!"

waving her glass in 's direction, and REAPER understanding that means "more wine", she pours witchy another glass Reaper has excellent hand eye coordination. Witchy's waving of the glass while Reaper poured, was no problem "Look! Did you see that! I just saw someone through the crowd, that had a BIRD sitting on their shoulder. Do you think it was real?"

"There goes Monsieur Delacroix again, introducing himself to the owner of this ship." turning towards and , witchy says "You know, since Mssr Delacroix is chatting up all the high flauten' people here, we should probably grill catch up on the gossip of the deck crew and staff. They always know more than the owners think. I mean, did Borel 3 request the guest on this cruise, specifically? Did he tell Carrie to just invite the 'Who's Who' of the world? Or did an agency do it for them? And LOVECRAFT, did you notice all the people hiding in the shadows against the wall? I bet you could go talk to them, and they'd be scared to death of you willing to chat with such a friendly person as yourself." giggling to herself, because Every One knows that Lovecraft is NOT a chatty type person

You can drink more when you hold still

Sunny had been blissfully silent up until now, just taking in the atmosphere and watching everyone, however this new pair caught her eye. The gentleman was particularly interesting to her, someone who seemed to command authority without even trying to. The woman was another enigma. She had a look that said "don't touch me" but at the same time made you want to have a short conversation with, just to find out what she was thinking.

Sunny was usually a social person, but being by herself this time, she found her mind wandering to other things. Of course it was always interesting when any of the Boreal's showed up, they were quite an interesting set of people.

Ilaera noticed Jels and Alexis. She didn't know much about them, so she quickly realized she would have to try and gain more information about these two. She did know that the younger Alexis was the wife of Jels, even though she seemed as old as his daughter.

Between us, I feel sure we will have better outfits. Tea can't compete!
