Luke looked over at those introducing themselves, thought for a second, and then said, "Hi there."

A man standing on the ramp cleared his throat. Luke, for the first time, noticed the ship. It was magnificent, but (Luke noticed, with a slight pang of worry) more like a pirate ship from the 16th Century than a modernised ship. It was made of wood, looked slightly rickety, and Luke guessed the cabins weren't going to be great.

"Welcome," the man said, walking down the ramp. "My name is Gerard Kerami, and I will be your Captain during your trip to India. This -" here he indicated a man behind him, who was in his twenties "- is Karl Roberts, your lookout. If you would all like to step aboad, your luggage has been taken to your cabin. Karl will tell you what cabin you are in, and will give you a key. I'd like you to proceed to that cabin until we set sail, and then you shall be free to come out.

Luke looked around at all those around him, and stepped forward hesitantly. He walked up the ramp. [-godmods-] Karl said, "Room 4." Luke nodded, took his key, and proceeded below deck, Peter chirping and following in his wake.

Kat hurried up to the ship and looked at it properly for the first time. "Woah... This ship is wicked! And it matches my t-shirt!" Kat did a little dance of excitement as she zoomed up the ramp.

Aminta sighed, scooping up her last suitcase, the one she had her kitten in, and her book. She thought for a moment and opened the book back up. She read on as she walked over to the ship; and walked up the ramp. She looked at Karl questioningly, then shifted her suitcase over to the arm holding the book. She then held out her free hand for the key, and went back to reading.

((In case you're wondering how she could hold the suitcase and read; that suitcase is sort of purse-like, like this, only it's a creamy colour and bigger(Big enough to hold a kitten and a bunch of clothes). So she just slipped it onto her arm like a purse.))

"Welcome, miss." Karl smiled, showing his straight, white teeth. "Room 5." And handed Aminta a key. Moving on to the next passenger, Kat, he handed her a key. "Room 6. Have a nice trip!" Giving her the same dazzling smile as before.

Lila walked up and looked at Karl and expected a key to be handed down to her. Karl looked down and gave her a smile. "Room 3." He then noticed the orange tabby sitting on her shoulder and added, "Cute kitten. I hope it doesn't get sea sick."

Lila returned a mere grin and moved to her room.

"Next please."

((Ack! Sorry for not posting sooner! Oh, and Em, it was in my dictionary O.o I thought sayonara was terribly overused, so I wanted to find something else.))

Mio gazed at the ship in apprehension. It looked horribly old. But maybe it was just made up that way....Yes, that was probably it. She shrugged and moved to the queue in front of Karl to get her room key.

Name:Audrey Monroe

Age: 18

Gender: Female

School: Thouless College of Philosophy

Appearance:Picture.

Personality: Even though Audrey doesn't like to admit it, her appearance says already a lot about her. She does not want to be different just for the sake of being different, but it gives her a certain personal strength. Audrey is not very chatty or social, but she tolerates people quite well and has no problem spending time with them, when she has to. In major she is also rather calm and reserved.

History: Audrey's mother left both her and her father when Audrey was just a baby, she has since then lived with her father traveling around the world because of his profession as a photographer. The lack of a motherly figure in Audrey's life has never bothered her that much, her father has been good at raising her, al though he sometimes worries for his daughters radical ideas, thoughts and likings. As a result of being raised by only her father has made Audrey quite a tomboy however.

Because of her appearance Audrey has heard quite a lot of comments; she can tolerate most of them as long as the people judging her only but her shell don't get too close or personal. She knows how to make a good argument with the help of heaps of self-confidence as well as intelligence.

Other: Audrey likes ships.

Kat returned a grin to Karl. "Why thank you". She walked down to her Room, number 6. Pulling out the key, she used it to open the door.

Wed Jul 13, 2005 8:26 pm

Audrey opened her eyes slowly as she heard the alarm clock beep like crazy next to her head accompanied by her father telling her over and over again to get out of bed and that she would miss the ship, of course telling her that from the living room since the news were on TV at the moment and Audrey's father never missed the morning news.

"Alright, alright!" she managed to shout turning her head to look at the clock.

As she saw what time it was it did not take Audrey long to get out of bed. The mere shock of seeing how late she was running already was good enough to put speed into her sleepy legs. Luckily Audrey had packed her large backpack yesterday already, she had learned from her previous mistakes being late for the trips she had made with her father. Also, the fact that she and her father lived close to the port where the ship was, hopefully, at the moment eased her situation quite a bit. Throwing on the clothes she wore yesterday with all the wild accessories Audrey moved onwards to her makeup table where she put on some eyeliner quickly and smudged it out a bit. Quickly combed her mohican hair rose up naturally just enough for it being unnecessary to use hairspray. After some pink lip-gloss and mascara Audrey was ready to go. She grabbed her backpack and ran to the kitchen to take some breakfast with her. Seeing her father had kindly left a few sandwiches as well as a small pack of orange juice on the table she took those. Her last destination in the house was the living room where her father was sitting.

"Love you dad!" she said, giving him a kiss on the cheek and then she disappeared through the backdoor.

With running steps Audrey could already see the ship; luckily many seemed to still be standing in front of it. Everyone seemed to be boarding and Audrey understood that she had been lucky this time. Walking the last 20 meters she had enough time to catch her breath and get in line, being last of course.

Is it too late to join?

Marie walked up the ramp, happy to be free from her way too many suitcases. She skipped up to Karl, and grinned, "Room 7," he spoke, and handed her the key. She boarded, so excited. Marie looked at every nook and cranny the second she stepped in, for she loved ships- and spent much time at her family's luxury yacht.

Illyne stepped calmly on board the ship. She walked up to Karl, greeting him with a cocky smile on her face. She still had one earphone from her iPod stuck in her ear.

((Ehh...Sorry I went to sleep and didn't give the rest the keys. If you have received one, please change the number according to mine. I typed it up just now and it caused a little confusion. So I would really appreciate it if you could change your number; and here are the numbers:

Room 5: Trinity
Room 6: Josephine

As Audrey stood in line waiting patiently she kicked around a small rock in front of her. Lifting up her head from the ground she saw that four people were still in front of her in the queue and one of them was just getting her key. Seeing that the same girl was apparently using her iPod for the moment made Audrey remember that she had one too tucked in her backpack.

"Heyyy... good idea," she mumbled and pulled out the earphones and turned on the iPod itself.

Forgetting the rock Audrey's foot started to follow the rhythm and drumbeat in the song she had started to listen to instead.

Illyne glanced down at her key after Karl gave it to her. She was in Room 8. Ok, yeah, whatever. She stopped walking and turned her head sharply to look at Karl again.

"What is the pural of hypothenuse?"

[It's kind of hard RP'ing someone like Illyne X.x I can't make her excited or nervous or blah, and she always has to act cool. Kind of makes my posts shorter. *pokes posts*]
