Cruise Ship.
What good is a cruise without a ship? This ship has everything needed for week-long trip to an island. It’s got 3,000 staterooms each built for 2 people and several amenities, including a buffet, a wireless computer lounge, a gym, and a small fighting arena built like that at the school. There's also a pool with a water slide right there on deck! Any students participating in the summer retreat have full access to almost all areas of the ship except for the captain’s quarters and the storage vault.
The rooms are kind of like those back on campus. Each has two beds that are fairly large and set on oppisite walls, two desks, and a bathroom with a toilet, shower/tub, and sink that the two in the room must share. There's also a round window set in the wall, so you can look out and see some scenery or something.
After arriving at the island, the students ride a smaller boat to the pier and are let off. The cruise ship remains anchored just off shore, so you can go back to it when you wish.

Ruben smiled slightly to himself, he could feel Mizuki's eyes on his horns but said nothing about it. He figured that he'd let her touch them when they were both in their room, so he set down his bags. He pulled out his key since he had reached the room first and slid himself into the door, glancing around. It was pretty standard like a hotel room, it had a bathroom equipped with a toliet, sink and shower, and a living room/bedroom. He walked over the bed near the end and set his bags down on the bag as he eyed the dresser next to his bed. He pushed open his suitcase and started to load the things up in it before he got too busy with other things. When he was done he sighed as he sat down on the bed and glanced up at her staring at her for a minute. She was a cute girl, and he liked the way she looked to be honest, but she seemed to be a bit scared of him. Or was that a different feeling? He wasn't quite sure but he could tell that she wasn't really comfortable around him right now. He didn't really mind so much, even if it wouldn't turn into some romance novel thing, there were a lot of girls on the ship after all! And besides Mizuki would be a good friend if things came to that, he just smiled slightly at her.

Mizuki was, in fact, staring at his horns as she walked behind them. They were different than Dredd's, who was the only other person with horns she knew. Ruben's were curly and looked less... dangerous. She suddenly had an urge to call him Rammy, and hoped that if it slipped out, he wouldn't get too mad. Geh, I'm being so paranoid... she thought to herself, growing a little irritated. First she was hoping he wouldn't grow annoyed at her messing with his horns. And now, the strange, yet fitting nickname as well. She sighed to herself and hesitated just a moment before following him into the room. She stood in the doorway and stared around from there, until the ship rocked lightly and the door slammed shut behind her.
"Eeek!" she shrieked, and leapt forward out of the way, partially because it'd slammed into her back. She rubbed it, wincing, and turned to cast the door a pointless dirty look. Then she edged into the room and to her bed and simply sat down on it, shifting her bag so it rested in her lap. She draped her arms lightly over it, her shoulders slumping forward defeatedly, until she lifted her gaze from the floor to glance at Ruben. She blinked, saw him smiling, and returned it with a rather weak one of her own. She hadn't managed a real smile since the day she'd gone to the amusement park with Dredd, before he'd sent her that memory. "So... so you really don't mind?" she asked hesitantly, speaking of their room assignment.

Ruben glanced up sharply when he heard the door slam behind her, he had sat up but she was already safe again so he figured that she'd be alright. He wasn't quite sure what was with his sudden attatchement to Mizuki's saftey, probably that he liked her, but he felt it was more than that. Then again...you weren't really allowed to like someone this quickly right...? So maybe he didn't and it was that thing...what was it....erm...lust! Yeah. Though he wasn't really about to jump her either, Ruben wasn't that kind of guy at all, but he chuckled to himself at the thought. His eyes focused when he heard ask him a question and it took a moment to click, he slowly shook his head. If anything he could use a friendship from a nice person who wasn't about to randomly die. Though Ruben wasn't really anti-social, he had slightly more than the normal amount of girlfriends and had a few good friends over the time of him growing up. He always figured that a few good friensd were bet than a bunch of ones that you wouldn't be able to stay in touch with or trust in the end anyway. He stood up and grinned to her, his head bowed as he stayed slightly away from her, but he gave her a nod. This whole gesture was to show that it was alright for her to go ahead and poke his horns, he had girls do it often, but no one who seemed so exicted about it.
Kyo just grinned as he had ended up turnning it into a sort of race, which he won, mainly because he was strong enough to handle the weight and he had a HUGE gap of time from leaving before her, which was like cheating anyway. Either way, they ended up at the front of their room and he flashed her a piece sign as he set down a bag to do so, he'd have to take out the key anyway. He the unlocked the door and stepped into thier new quarters, much blander than their dorm back home. But then again their dorm room back home was supposed to be a place where they could live for days if they needed to. On a cruise ship there was too much things for you to keep track of, so he knew they wouldn't be bored. He took the bed that was closest to the door and set his things there, and he randomly rushed up to Nami and tackled her down on her bed. If someone walked into the room right now, it might look like well...RAPE D=. But that was far from the case as he suddenly started to tickle her again, laughing as he kept her knees and legs down so that she couldn't kick him, because Nami kicked really hard too! And he hated to loose appearently...well only some things, like loosing Nami's heart...huh that was weird, he normally didn't think stuff like that he thought with a frown.
Ellie was slightly upset at how things were turning out, from her view of the matter, it seemed like Jonny didn't like her and was trying to ignore her. She could only manage a soft smile at the way he said their enterence and followed him onto the ship. She wondered vaugly what the ship was called before she turned her attention back to the door and slipped it open after applying the key. It was comfortable, and she was glad that she hadn't taken her kids along because it looked like she wouldn't have been able to get a room with them she thought with a small frown and pout. She set her things down in the bathroom and promptly shut the door, no she wasn't actually mad at him really but it probably looked that way. She was just giving him the option of chosing which bed he wanted first and she wanted some sun pretty quickly anyway. She had grown attatched to the tan that was on the girl from the entrance so she wanted on too! She stripped off her clothing in a pretty quick motion and was soon in a red bikini with black strings tying around her neck and each side of her bottom piece. She pulled her hair out of the pigtails and brushed it quickly as she walked out of the room and set her suitcase by the door again. She glanced up to Jonny with a light smile, realizing that he probably hadn't seen her in such clothing before, but then feeling that he wouldn't care at the same time. Conflicted she grabbed a towel and some sunscreen, prepared to go out to the deck and sunbathe or something.
[Sunny and Ryuu will come later =o=]

Mizuki watched him quietly, his silence making her kind of nervous. And she felt a bit of confusion at the sudden chuckle. What had he been laughing at? She was tempted to enter his thoughts and listen to find out, but was afraid that if she opened the link she wouldn't be able to close it, and then more and more people's thoughts would come to her until she couldn't take it and passed out from the strain. That seemed to happen kind of often with her... She folded her arms across her chest, still looking somewhat annoyed, until she saw him shake his head. "...oh, ok." Again, he'd replied with a motion instead of actually speaking. Was he mute? No, no, he'd given his name so she knew he could speak.
She was frowning at the floor, lost in her thoughts, but lifted her head suddenly when she heard him stand and move towards her. She blinked and stared at him, her eyes moving to his horns before finding his face. She stared for a second or two, looking puzzled, before it finally dawned on her what he meant. She tugged the strap of her bag off her shoulder and slowly got to her feet, staring. Her hands fidgeted nervously in front of her. Ugh, I want to, but what if...? Her thought trailed off and she suddenly looked determined, extremely so, which would probably be comical to Ruben. Mizuki just failed to realize it. Very slowly her hands extended, then stopped right over the horns. There was a small hesitation before she suddenly reached forward the last inch, grabbing hold. And before she could stop herself, she tugged downwards once, gently though, to see if they really were attached. They were. Then she dropped one hand by her side, and traced the spiraling horn lightly with the fingertips of her other. "So it... is real?" she murmured, her eyes awe-struck, as if she was amazed beyond belief. And she wasn't seeing a memory either. This was a huge weight off her shoulders! Maybe it was done and wouldn't happen again!

[Mizuki's false hope! Dx ;~;]
Ruben watched her, keeping his head in place as he looked up towards Mizuki's face. He saw her hesitate quite a bit before she finally seemed like she had to do it or something. She had that strong look of determination in her face that it made him want to laugh at because it was kind of silly. There wasn't much of a reason to be determined about anything since he was just letting her feel her horns. He vaugly wondered why it was then that she was determined, but figured that she'd tell him if there was something important later. Ruben was never the type to press into matters unless he felt it was important or someone said it themselves. He felt a slight chill when he felt her hands go to his horns and give a light tug on them, but it didn't really hurt in the slightest so he just kept still. He didn't stand up to his full height though soon feeling her trace his horns lightly and then ask him a question. "Yeah, they really are, I guess you haven't seen many people with horns...huh?" he asked with a light chuckle. Her actions were pretty friendly though so he figured that he'd let her do that when she wanted, which may come up a few more times. When he felt that she was done he stood up to his full height again, his hand reaching forward to shake her own. "I'll re-introduce myself. My name is Ruben and I'm er a part demon ram" he said.

[Sorry I took so long. >.> My mom and dad suddenly decided to show up and talk about stuff....]
After finally reaching Kyo's side, Nami gave another pout. "You cheated!" she giggled slightly as he gave her a peace sign, Namika smirked at his cockiness and waited for him to open the door. She didn't think much of the fact that Kyo had cheated, but that wasn't going to stop her from complaining about it. In fact, she would of cheated in the same situation, though her cheating would probably only end up evening the field. Even if Kyo hadn't cheated, he would of most likely won any way, Namika was fast...but not with five bags strapped to every inch of her. Luckily, Kyo had taken the bed next to the door. Namika liked being next to the window! It was something about waking up to the sun shining in on her face that pleased Namika greatly. All of the years in studios and on tours and deprived her from beautiful early mornings. Well, she did get up extremely early, but never had anytime to just sit and enjoy it. Namika was naturally a morning person. Though this was true, she was always forced to be a night person. That made her think slightly about if there was such a thing as an afternoon person. Maybe it was the kind of people that wake up at noon and go to bed at five. Wait...wasn't that an old person? But what if the old person was a natural morning person, would they even get up earlier....or just become an afternoon person like all the others. Or- wait! How did Namika suddenly start thinking about old people?! Quickly shaking all strange thoughts from her head, Namika threw her arms up and exclaimed. "We're on a BOA-" once again, Kyo had taken the liberty of causing another tickle fight. And this time, he had pinned down her legs! It was absoultely no fair, Kyo sure did like cheating when it came to their little games. Namika was left defenless, all she could do was laugh. "Ky-" the poor girl was trying to get her words out inbetween major laughs. "-o STOOOOOP" the "stop" was more like a screetch as Namika flailed her arms around and her face became red with laughter.
Jonny immiedtly flooped down on a bed as he entered the room. He was slightly tired, not to mention confused, and he just wanted to lay there for a moment. Without noticing he had taken the bed next to the door, seeing as it was the closest one that he could relax on. Suddenly realizing Ellie dissapeared, his eyes shot open. "Ellie?" glancing around the room, Jonny suddenly became concerned. Where could she have possibly gone? The rooms wasn't big enought to get lost in...maybe she slipped out. Maybe she didn't even want to be there, where did she go?! "Ellie?!" calling for her once again, Jonny wasn't even thinking of checking the bathroom. Imagine his surprise when stunning Ellie stepped out in a bikini.HORMONES HORMONES HORMONES poor Jonny, all alone in a room with his girlfriend who was now wearing a bikini. No really, this wasn't a good thing. His mouth seemed to drop to the floor as he stuttered nervously. "U-Um, you...and then- you're going to..?" calming down slightly as she pulled on a towel he managed to spit out a sentence. "Swimming? You're gonna go to the pool? Um, I'm...I'm gonna go with you.HOLD ON~" quickly grabbing a bag and shuffling over to the bathroom. He seemed to sigh and whisper 'wow', making sure he quickly got in and changed.

[I know.. I'm so mean to her! .__.]
Mizuki had half been expecting for him to just nod again or something, so when he spoke aloud she first just gave him a blank stare. Then she bilnked a couple times to snap herself out of it. "N-no! I haven't!" she cried, still sounding amazed. They were so cool! Like a ram! She'd have to try hard not to call him Rammy by accident. She felt the urge returning already. Distracted yet again by her thoughts, she had a rather strange reaction to him reaching out his hand. She saw it out of the corner of her eye and sprang back and away. But the back of her knees hit her bed and she toppled over, landing flat on her back across it. She blinked a couple times again, looking confused, then pushed herself up, laughing nervously as a blush came to her cheeks. "S-sorry..." she said quietly, and hesitantly reached out to take his hand. She still couldn't be completely sure. Maybe it was just a fluke? However, when she did work up the nerve to take his hand, again she felt no odd feeling or strange scenery popping up and pulling her into it. Instead it was just the normal feeling of his hand, and she was still sitting on her bed and staring up at him and their normal little cruise ship room. In short, everything was fine, and she couldn't have been happier. Thus, her reply was a little over enthusiastic. "I'm Mizuki Ito!" she cried. "It's very nice to meet you! I'm just... a human." She grinned broadly though, hiding her interest that he really was a ram. Or, part ram. Something.

Sei approached the ship at a moderate pace, taking the time to observe just how large this ship actually was. Sei didn't think he'd ever seen a single object or building that large before, so far as he could remember anyways. When he was right next to it, he had to crane his neck all the way backwards to see the whole of the ship. He looked back down and approached the boarding ramp. He debated whether to board the ship, or to wait for Mint at the Boarding ramp. He decided on the later, after remembering that he was sharing a room with Mint, and didn't have a key or know the room number. He had wandered off in a bit of a daze after being kissed so he had forgotten to ask for the key.

Harumi was still holding Shepard's hand, oblivious to the fact he'd been trying to pull away originally. She hadn't noticed and since he'd stopped, she never would. She led him onto the ship, stopping once to glance over her shoulder towards him. "You two don't get along?" she asked. After all, Shepard had just told the other kid they were going to fight. And she'd gotten there after their fighting with each other, so she'd missed all the yelling. Another question popped into her head, but it was one she didn't plan on asking. It was, why was his hair was blue? Did he dye it? Though maybe it was naturally like that. Her's was pure white, after all, and her eyes red. Pretty odd for a human, but she couldn't control the way she looked. "Is this just a break to rest up before your fight?" she added curiously, and then started walking again while waiting for a reply. She found the right area pretty quickly, and made her way down a hallway lined with doors, looking for the right number.

" No we don't infact. Me and him share very diffrent ideals. hIs are for the weak. Mine are for a true warrior" Shepard said smiling a bit. In the back of his mind though he thought But at every turn he has manged to beat me. In every area he seems to excell while I remain stagent like a rock... " In a way it is. Also during this time I will be away from others so that way I can figure out the secert. Once I do me and him will have a rematch and I will be a victor" Shepard getting a tone of seriousness in his voice. He seemed to have completely forgotten he was being tugged along almost like a rag doll by a child.

[A child? They're both sixteen, aren't they? Dx]
Harumi listened quietly, thinking it over. She had no idea what this secret he mentioned was, but since it was apparently a secret, she imagined he wouldn't tell her even if she did ask. So, she just kept silent and continued walking, grasping his hand firmly. "Well... good luck," she said, glancing over her shoulder to smile at him. Then she faced forward again, coming to a halt in front of a door. "...I think this is it," she said, this time mostly to herself, and stuck the key into the lock. She turned it and heard a click, then quickly pushed the door open and stepped inside, tugging Shepard after herself. Only then did she let go of his hand as she headed towards one of the beds and started to put her stuff down. But then she paused, turning to face him. "Which bed do you want? Do you mind which one?"

Ito looked through the ship curiously as he walked a hallway, wondering what all was available. He and Sam had already found their room and put their bags into it, but now they were looking around. He looked over to Sam and asked, "So, what were the points of cruises again? I'm sure you guessed I've never been on one... I only use boats for travelling and usually nothing more..." He said, his eyes continuing to roam about as he looked through the interior of the ship. He was hoping that he could find something that appealed to him, though he wasn't really sure what he could enjoy here. Recently, he actually felt depressed, as if his life held no meaning now that Izanami was resting within his own body as a part of him. He needed something, an enemy, a purpose, something.

Shepard was in a flash already laying down on the bed to the left. " I'll take this one. You can have the other one" he said getting up and starting to unpack his stuff. Mostly Shepard had the same looking clothes, a blue shirt with jeans. He seemed to never ever change what he wore, unless it was a special ocassion. He did have a bathing suit though but that to was blue. Blue hair, blue eyes, blue clothes. Shepard could probly blend into the sky if he painted himself blue to.
" Aww come on tell me. Every other person on this boat ride has a power. Here I'll show you mine!" Gordon said cheerily. He held out his hand and an orb of chaos energy came out. He made it move around as they walked. He smiled as he made the orb spin around Kenta's head. The orb disappeared as Gordon snapped his fingers. " So come on. Show me what you can do!"

[Rawr TT___TT I hate giving up //3]
Ruben again just smiled broadly when she told him so quickly and loudly that she hadn't seen ram demons before. Not much of a surprise since she was a regular human and everything but still it was a funny reaction. Ruben frowned when he saw her fall backwards from not wanting to touch his hand and he didn't really understand. So...she was alright with touching his horns but not his hands...? That was kind of weird, but he stood there for a moment longer, his eyes widening and his hand had withdrawn more so when she fell back against her bed because he didn't want her to get hurt or anything. "It's fine...are you alright...?" he asked softly confused as he stared at her for a moment longer. She suddenly did take his hand, and for a moment he felt tension in it before she looked fully exicted and happy again. Part of him wondered if she was bi-polar and another part wondered what she thought would happen if she touched his hand. He shook it though and just grinned at her saying "I can tell" when she mentioned being human. He laughed a bit and withdrew himself again "So what should we do now? Do you want to be alone?" he asked as he put his hands behind his head and rocked slightly in palce.
Kyo grinned and laughed like crazy as he tickled her, she looked so cute with each time he did it though so he couldn't resist! He soon pulled away though, knowing that much longer she might hold a grudge or run out of air. He drew backwards though as well so that she couldn't kick him incase she had the sudden urge to do so. "Cheaters never...oh wait...er...cheaters never loose! And winners never quit!" he said cheekily as he made his own phrase as always bending words to his own benfit. "SAY NAMIKA. You know...we're like on a boat and stuff...and we'll be swimming and stuff....and so should I like become a tempoary pervert and stuff?" he asked with a grin. Kyo didn't have many things that would effect him in the hormone way, but a few things would, they would have to pretty obvious though. Namika knew this of course and there was one occosion a few years ago or so when they had both gone to the pool and he had almosted drowned when he saw Nami in a bikini. They laughed about it of course, but it had actually happened, the main reason was because he hadn't seen her since a bit back in their childhood much and then suddenly it was like a slap in the face. They still never really spoke about the fact that friends weren't supposed to be like that, but it was still pretty funny. "Or you know...I could just hit on other girls" he said as he made a sad face looking dissaproving of himself. He was half asking her if she wanted to be his pretend girlfriend and mess with people while they were on the ship. It would be funny as hell if it got back to the press when they came home that Nami was with some 'MYSTERIOUS STRANGER'.
Ellie was surprised by his action! She had forgotten the shy Jonny from a while back, but she stiffled a grin and just gave him a small nod as he walked into the bathroom. She walked over to her bed and chuckled silently to herself, she found that the small issues from the previous time were gone once again. "Okay...I won't worry about such things anymore, I love him." she said aloud, but too softly for Jonny to hear since he was still in the bathroom and all. She pulled her feet under her as she settled herself on the bed for a moment, her mind was softly glad that she hadn't taken her children for another reason. But for leaving them for about a week or so she'd have to make up with a good vacation with just them for a little bit. She gave a nervous laugh as she thought about how she'd let Jonny know about that. He wasn't the type to take being apart for so long all too well, but he'd have his kittens to distract him and she'd have her children. She streatched as she stiffled a yawn and stood up again, she was exicted though to be on a cruise with her boyfriend! Who wouldn't be when it was someone as cute and fun as Jonny she thought with a happy smile, pulling her towel around her neck.
Jane wasn't feeling any better about sharing a room with him she had already made up in her mind that she wouldn't sleep in the same room as well. She'd just come in there to change and things and then head to the deck or something for the rest of the time. She felt though...that she wanted to be around him secretly so that was more of a reason than ever to stay away from him. "Think what you want about my job, it doesn't matter to me, but I'm not a cheap whore." she said as she found her key and slid it in. She took the bed by the door because she obviously wasn't planning on sticking around for long. And she hated how he was on her mind that night when she went out with Ren, while she was forced to be 'his date' for the night. Just to pretend though, and they both knew that one of them would end up dead if Ren tried anything. All she had to do was sit next to Ren during a fancy party and look 'charming' so she had to also change into different clothing. So it left her mind many a time to wonder and it kept going back to that damn cocky smile that she wanted to punch him every time she saw him. She didn't bother unpacking her suitcase as she sat down on her bed and lit another cigarette, yes she was probably going to go through a whole pack the way things were turning out.
