Valentine's Day Cruise!! It sounded like a blast so the girl ended up on board, along with a ton of strangers. She could have asked Red to come, and be her date, buuuut she wasn't sure where she stood with him. He'd called her his girl, but what did that really even mean? These were the thoughts going through the blonde's head as she made her way through the sea of faces to get to the buffet table. Kasie, her cousin, had wandered off awhile back looking for something to entertain them for the night and was supposed to report back with her findings. Love songs were playing 24/7 on this ship, given the nature of the cruise, and the lyrics to Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift made her chew on her lip lightly. Her heart sped up as her new stilettos clacked against the hardwood, visions of a certain hybrid swimming in her head. Femme was dressed in a long red gown, flowing behind her delicately with each step. She reached the buffet table and squeezed in line to grab some food. She felt out of place and awkward, surrounded by so many strangers. Her anxiety issues didn't help matters.. She couldn't help but wonder how Kasie was doing.

She had been roaming around on the ship for awhile, so far she'd found many hang-out places. They did have a few games in one of the rooms down from their very sleeping area. Those converse shoes stomping against the ground without worry, backpack slung over one shoulder that held many things she would most likely need during this trip; including a Gir hoodie. After all, it was still a bit chilly out and if she wanted to relax on the deck it was probably needed. But for now? It was tucked right away on top of all the other things packed; as if being used to protect whatever was inside. That cellphone was pulled from her back pocket, texting right away to a friend as she walked back to the spot Heather was at. After the cell was back in that pocket, a hand waved like a maniac to her cousin. "There's this game room!" Kasie spoke excitedly, "We could play air hockey there!" That shirt of hers would probably grab some attention due to it talking about kidnapping a band member but she didn't care. The girl would just make faces at them or cause some scene and pose.

She was nomming on a bowl of chocolate dipped strawberries she'd grabbed from the table when Kasie showed up. She waved back hyperly with a strawberry poking out of her mouth. A soft giggle left her when Kasie made faces at the random people around them. "Where at?" she asked, offering the bowl out to her to share, "Sounds good, I've not played that in years!" She giggled at her outfit, "You look so out of place in this room." It was the ballroom, and apparently there was an elegant party going on at the moment as most of the people were in cocktail dresses and tuxedos. Couples were everywhere and it was starting to make the blonde's eye twitch seeing them so mushy together. What'd she expect though on a cruise like this? A soft sigh left her, "I should have invited Red to come with us. People keep staring at me since I don't have a date." She looked around at the crowd with a mean face for emphasis.
Kasie laughed when she saw that strawberry sticking out of Heather's mouth. That face though! A hand ran through that auburn dyed hair before replying, "It's actually few doors down from our room we're staying at." When she mentioned how she should've invited Red, Kasie looked around and clicked her tongue. Spiteful side coming in she gave them mean looks and yelled, "WHAT!!? NEVER SEEN GIRLS GO ON DATES BEFORE!!" They didn't know the two, so they wouldn't know the girls were family. It most likely got them to stop staring though, maybe. After the outburst, Kasie pointed at the food those eyes wide. "I'ma grab some stuff!! Am hungry!" You're always hungry.. her mind told her as she moved to the food line. After a bit she came back with some sort of strawberry pastry, unsure of what it was and didn't really care. She began nomming on it a bit waiting for Heather to be ready to move to a different room or explore. With how people were today it was untelling what would happen on this cruise.
[Gotta do dishes!! BRB!]
[Kk!]
Ozzy was on the ship also and had likely brought along his buddy Deimos. The two went everywhere together these days. He poked his head into the ballroom when Kasie yelled about two girls on a date. The teen blinked a few times and watched her run off to the food, leaving the dressed up blonde by herself. Ozzy gulped and made his way into the room, inching through the crowd and over to the girl. He spun quickly and ducked into a crowd of people when Kasie came back over and started eating her pastry thing. Oz was wearing a pair of worn out jeans and a Three Days Grace hoodie. Under that was a black t-shirt reading "Always Be Yourself! Unless You Can Be Batman, Then Always Be Batman". He stood out with all the tuxedo wearing guys around him, but he was hoping if he tried hard enough he'd be invisible. What was he even doing? He wasn't even sure. He saw a pretty girl and had to get her name.. eventually.
Deimos happened to be on the ship as well. Mainly because his pal told him he was going on a cruise and the male wanted to join in. Said friend had ran off screaming something that he couldn't quite make out and left him there for a few moments. After realizing Ozzy wasn't coming back Dei went on a Oz hunt, catching the male ducking in a crowd. Those silver eyes rolled under those shades. That black hair was messy and he was wearing casual clothes, a random band t-shirt and a pair of faded baggy jeans. He stuck out quite a bit also. Being Deimos, he walked over to Ozzy and tilted that head slightly before grabbing the male's shoulders and screaming, "OZZY!! What are doing pal!" Those orbs went to what he was staring at and it got his attention more, "You perv!!" Poor guy. Deimos had no idea who the two were either or what had happened moments prior to his friend's antics. Whatever it was, it had to been funny. "Just go over there and talk to her dude, what's the worst that could happen?" Well, she could smack him for randomly walking up to her. Then again... it could go well and they would enjoy the company. Who knew! A shrug was given before patting Ozzy on the back, "I gotcha man!" He jumped up and walked over to the females and waited to see if he was going to be smacked or welcomed.
Her face was blood red when Kasie yelled that. She gave her a wide-eyed look and glanced around frantically as everyone started whispering among themselves and pointing. "Oh my gosh Kasie," she huffed, "You made it worse." She hadn't noticed Ozzy yet, still distracted by all the eyes on her and whispers. She shoved another strawberry in her mouth and chewed on it bitterly as she waited for Kasie to come back. "Strawberry flavored stuff is big on Valentine's Day," she noticed, finishing up her bowl and starting over to put it up. At the random burst of sound to their right she jumped a little, startled. Her eyes followed the sound and landed on the two boys that stood out as much as Kasie did in this particular room. She elbowed her cousin when the taller one started walking over, "We're about to have company.." She wasn't sure if it was a good thing or bad, since she didn't know him, and after what Kasie just yelled he could possibly be some perv wanting to ask questions about 'girls dating'.
She only snickered when her cousin's face was red, "They asked for it.. Starin' and being a creeper." She told Heather casually. She hadn't noticed Ozzy either considering she was nomming on that food. Food was like a holy grail to her, this one could eat all day if she wanted. At Heather's comment to strawberries she just nodded in agreement. Seemed that way. When a commotion was going on to the right of them Kasie looked that way after jumping a bit as well. It was unexpected, she was caught off-guard! 'Uh oh..' her mind boomed as one of the two began walking over. "I see that.. please don't be a pervert.." She whispered before clearing her throat as the male stopped. Those eyes blinked, not sure whether to start the conversation or wait for them to speak. It was a random approach... Whatever. "Hi, person?" Kasie finished up that pastry before eyeing her cousin then the stranger, almost tempted to start a scene as always. [Woooonk so short. Am back though!]
He'd grabbed a glass of something everyone was sipping and sipped on it slowly as he tried to blend in. Tough luck Oz, you don't. Deimos grabbing his shoulders and yelling? Ozzy spazzed, dashing the drink on the guy next to him in a panic and throwing the glass over his shoulder to hide the evidence once he realized what he'd done, likely hitting Dei in the face with it. "I NEVER!" the man now wearing his drink yelled as he glared at Oz. Wide blue eyes looked like a deer caught in headlights when Dei called him a perv. He waved his hands frantically in a defensive manner, "No Dei, it's not like that! I was gonna but her friend- I can't talk to girls good man, they make me nerv- DEI! What are you doing?!" He noticed he was going over to the girls and flailed his arms like a penguin. "ACK!" he ducked when tux guy swung at him and took off after Deimos. "HE WANTS TO FIGHT ME MAN! THIS AIN'T ROAD HOUSE!" he yelled loudly, drawing even more attention to them. Honestly? Ozzy could take him. He was a werewolf for heaven's sake, but he didn't want to get serious. He liked being goofy too much! "HALP!" he yelled, grabbing a bowl of strawberries and flinging one after another at the guy that was chasing him, "HAAAALP!" The tuxedo guy was furious. All eyes were now on the group...
He'd cracked up when Oz had spilled what he was drinking on a random. "OW!" Deimos protested when the glass had hit him in the face and shattered, that would have hurt far more if he were human. The shards probably cut his jaw some but hey, it was worth it. "Not like that huh? Chill Ozzisaurus! I'm gonna make communication!" He had been gone when the male had swung at Oz. As the girl that stood out as much as them spoke he smiled, "Hiya! How are you two do-" That attention went to Oz as he said the man wanted to fight. "I GOT THIS MAN!!" Deimos flailed and pointed a finger at the male chasing his pal, "DON'T MAKE ME LICK YOU! I'LL DO IT!!" An eye twitched all crazy like and those shades were lowered as if staring right into the guy's soul. That group got more than a little bit of attention..
"Yeeeah," she'd giggled on the creeper comment. Her brain was going, 'Oh no...' when Dei started with asking how they were doing. The typical pick up line most people used. But it was cut off! She gasped when she noticed Ozzy run after Dei screaming something about Roadhouse. She burst out laughing when he started throwing strawberries at the guy chasing him. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. She grinned and threw her bowl at the guy, squealing as he shot her a glare before being pelted by more strawberries from Ozzy no doubt. Dei's threat to LICK the guy made her give him an odd look. Who did that remind her of?... She gave Kasie a look and then back to Dei. Was this her long lost twin? "LICK HIM IN THE EYE!" she encouraged it, bursting into laughter again. Yeaaah, there was people peeking into the door from the hallway now, curious of all the commotion.
[Sink the ship on your turn Oz! :D]
Female was on the edge of tears when strawberries were being thrown, and licking people threats. This wasn't a bad cruise after all, she thought that everything would be mushy about it. Apparently not! Whoo hoo!! Kasie grabbed a few things off the table and began slinging them to join in on the fun as Heather had. They would probably be kicked out of the ballroom but they could go find another place to hang. Sad thing was, this wasn't even their 'group' at first. Just a bunch of strangers now flinging things. "YEAH!!" She joined in on her cousin's suggestion, those two may be friends in the future- he had similar actions. Who were these guys, they were already a blast to be around.. Those hazel eyes looked to her cousin and she grinned, "This is fun! Glad you brought me!" As people began looking from the hallway, a cake was thrown at the too just for the heck of it all. If it came down to a food fight one of the tiny tables would be turned over so Kasie could use it for cover. Lord only knows she wouldn't be able to flip a huge one fast and would need help. [Yeah! We were gonna make the ship sink and land on an island. :D So heads up!]
Ozzy never let up flinging strawberries so yes, they were still coming even after Heather threw her bowl at the guy. "YOU MESS WITH ONE OF US YOU MESS WITH ALL OF US!" he said in a Spanish accent. Wait what? All of them? But they didn't know one another... "THUG LIFE!" he yelled and flung the now empty plastic bowl at the guy. A loud scraping sound came from the ship, the floor shaking violently beneath them. It sounded like metal grinding against rock... The music was still going, surprisingly, the first few chords of Lollipop by Framing Hanley playing. Oddly fitting.. Since something bad was about to happen and the guitar chords had that feel to it. "ACK!" Ozzy gasped as he'd hit his knees from the force of the shaking, "W-What's goin' on Dei?!" His eyes were huge and glancing around as everyone started to scream when the shaking never stopped.

This is your Captain speaking.. We have hit a rock that didn't show up on our radar. We are taking on water. Please remain calm and evacuate to the deck in an orderly fashion. Life boats are being prepared.

The voice was barely audible against the music blasting but Ozzy's hearing got it loud and clear, "CRAP!" He knew Dei had heard it as well and shot him a frantic look. Wolf boy pushed himself to his feet and took off to drag the girls towards the deck if they didn't protest, yelling to them, "We're sinkin'! Follow me!" The ship had stopped shaking for now, but he could hear the rushing water nearby. They didn't have much time!
He had licked someone before, the very victim in this room now with them. But they didn't know what either of the two were, maybe that was a good thing? Those shades had been ditched for awhile now and placed into his pocket while all this was going down. The lights hurt his eyes a bit, but it was better than the sun rays. As the floor shook Deimos stumbled and fell on his side, looking around as everyone else was trying to keep balance and failing as well. "I-I don't know Ozzy!" The Captain speaking was in his ears along with that music, instants kicked in and the male got a bit worried. What if people hadn't heard the announcement..? Hands pushed himself back up while the shaking stopped. "To the deck! Everyone GO!" Dei told the others in the room just in case. Never know. Afterwards, he ran after Ozzy and the girls if they had followed him moments prior. Just by the time he reached the others- water had already sunk part of the floor causing those OP black shoes of his to get slightly wet. Apparently they need to invest in new radars for the next ship... Whimpers were held back as Deimos looked over Heather and Kasie, making sure they were alright apart from the whole situation. Shades had then been thrown back over his eyes since they were now outside on the deck.

People was in panic and jumping over the side of the ship before they had life boats prepared. It was the Titanic all over again.. Only less deaths... right? He elbowed Ozzy and pointed toward an island that was in the distance, maybe they would be safe there? One could only hope.
"I'm glad we came too!" she giggled goofily at her cousin. That wouldn't last much longer. She was cracking up at Ozzy's antics until the scraping sounded and she was also thrown to the floor roughly with a loud squeal. The shaking had her heart flying as she looked at Kasie in confusion. What was happening?? Her own eyes were bugged out and her hands started shaking when screams rang out around them from the other patrons. Her anxiety was going haywire, making it hard to breathe. She didn't hear the captain over the music so when Ozzy was trying to pull her towards the deck and yelled that they were sinking she felt like she was in a daze. Was he serious? How did he know? When Dei yelled it too it sank in that they were really on a sinking ship. She forced her shaky legs to carry her clumsily behind Ozzy, that dress not helping her. Once on the deck she started ditching the stilettos, just in case she needed to swim. The cold air already had her shivering like crazy, her breath coming out in foggy bursts against the February air. She kept looking from Ozzy to Dei, then to Kasie, rinse and repeat. The panic around her had her poor heart running a marathon in her chest as fearful eyes watched the boats loading too fast for comfort. A few broke when people tried to overload them in a panic and people were being shoved off the side and ran over. It was madness!
Kasie was laughing at the bowl being thrown next before the ship starting shaking and throwing her to the floor, what was going on!? She hadn't heard the scraping or the announcement due to the music and screaming. Of course she was screaming as well, this was one moment she was afraid of. She always hated the thought of sinking or a plan crashing.. Now here it was; a reality. Panicked eyes shot to Heather, that heart racing much more than her heart murmur had it earlier. "Are we going to die?" She asked her cousin, who was also confused. Just as Ozzy rushed over, she tried balancing herself and tripping at first. She wasn't about to deny help if he was offering, not in a situation like this. This was a moment she was going to trust a stranger's words.. Deimos was staring at them now, just as Heather began staring? Kasie began looking at the group as well. Especially since people were jumping off the side of the ship! She was shaking from the cold air, why did she have to choose shorts?! Oh yeah!! Because the girl thought they would be INSIDE... SAFE and sound... Tough luck.. That Gir jacket was snagged from her bag and slipped on while she waited for a boat as the water was rising, would they be any left by the time they reached the front of the massive line? That bag was zipped back up and slung over that same shoulder a hand grabbing Heather's wrist gently. Those eyes still wide, shocked and on the edge of a panic attack. The hoodie hadn't helped ALOT, but enough to keep her from freezing too bad.
Ozzy had never been on a sinking ship before... Once they were on the deck like that he was lost for what to do. He'd seen the Titanic movie and how it broke in half, but it didn't look like this one was to that point. Yet.. Who knew if it would do it or not? He was doing like the others, just looking around before glancing at the group. "Dei, I have a plan," he said quickly, after Dei had pointed at the island in the distance. He could swim there, he knew he could. "We turn and let the girls ride on our backs as we swim like mad for the island," he voiced his plan. He probably sounded like a mad man! Especially considering the fact the girls didn't know what the guys really were. He gave Heather a meaningful look, "I'm about to cause even more screams on this ship, but I want you to get on my back the second I change forms okay? I'll need to jump off before they can react, so you'll have to hang on tight." He gulped a moment, his confidence wavering, "Do you trust me?" If she said yes, that'd be his cue to switch into his wolf form; being much larger than your average wolf with the same usual markings of one. Otherwise he'd wait for the right opening.
