How does you kalon feel about their cruise breaking down?

The tropical sun was shining down on the cruise, giving warmth to all upon the ship. The noise of the ocean and the squaks of seagulls provided a very nice ambient noise. Sitting on a plastic bench and sipping a mocktail, Kiele was finally enjoying herself. Maybe the cruise would not be a waste of money after all, although her previous excursions would beg to differ. Whenever she went away from home, storms(tropical or lightning),wind,rain,snow,avalanches and other mishaps of nature seemed to follow. But maybe, perhaps this would be different! Call it a "jinx",bad luck or whatever,(Kiele knew it as fate) but just at that moment the ship rocked and shook, spilling her mocktail. A some-what annoying Kiele was more bamboozled by the sound of confused and angry passengers. A worker rushed into the deck as fast as he could. Standing in the middle of a perplexed crowd with a microphone he said. "Sorry for delay, ladies and gentlemen but the boat appears to have broken down, we will be staying at the nearby island until repairs are done! Please exit in a orderly fashion." A groan came out from the crowd as they prepared to exit. "Oh joy…" Kiele mouthed as she squished into a line with a bunch of irritated passengers. Her "fate" had not changed.

How does your kalon feel about their cruise breaking down?

Rion? Oh he LIVED for it. Rion feeds off of chaos and disaster, meanwhile other Kalons were panicking he was chilling with a nice glass of pina colada, shades on and relaxing in the sun, observing and commenting on his Instapaw Live feed. Of course this put a little niche in his plans, but who really plans a vacation anyway, right? Isn't the point of a vacation to have fun? and there's not a single thing more fun than absolute chaos and confusion!
Now once the announcement, that they had found a place to dock, came over the radio, Rion was almost disappointed. His controlled chaos would disappear, and he would then be on a random island, but maybe he could find something to do on it. He pretty much can find entertainment in most things, be it briefly or not. and then.. the cruise ship had docked. And the scrambling begun...
Now he enjoyed the controlled chaos, because he wasn't being affected by it... but this was just enraging. people pushing and shoving to get off the broken cruise ship like its the titanic and if they don't they will drown, his luggage getting banged up by people who couldnt care less about it, and by people he couldnt care less about no less, put him in a pretty damper mood.
once onto the island he located the closest drinks and immediately was willing to give as much as it takes for him to find some sort of tranquillity and peace but.. nothing ever came of it, making the first day and a half of his new beach vacation a moody and angry one.

user: suds, hi! / kalon: saki / team: octopi | feat. sal ! thank you, yuroshi!



summer breeze, makes me feel fine,

blowing through the jasmine in my mind...
feeling a sudden bump against the bow of the ship, saki looked up from his book. he peered out of the doorway, about to head back in when the intercom lights flashed for attention. "hey, they said we should head off... hey?" he felt a touch on his arm, looking over to see his cabin neighbor. the blue kalon clicked his tongue in acknowledgement when he saw saki's badge: HEARING IMPAIRED. saki signed a hello, and sorry, face heating up from embarrassment. sal signed an its okay, "we need to get off the ship, its been docked. leave your things" he stated.


sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom;

july is dressed up and playing her tune.
saki smiled, glad someone could communicate with him. he nodded and walked down the stairs to where a huge crowd was forming at the exit. he brushed past the people, making sure sal was in tow. at the end of the dock was a dark kalon with a stern expression. he was waving people off to a bay area to calm down no doubt. sal laughed to himself how they still were playing music during such a tragic time. yacht rock, no doubt. he envied that saki wouldn't have to deal with it.


and i come home from a hard day's work

and you're waiting there, not a care in the world.
"this music is annoying," he signed with a smile. "its all the same, rich people singing about their boats no doubt." saki chuffed, relaxing at the feeling of the warm sand beneath his feet. "i like this kind of music. on the boat the vibrations help me sleep. sorry the lyrics suck though," he attempted at conversation. "can you believe it? three days in and were shipwrecked! like gulliver's island," saki twisted his nose up in a laugh, "kind of. i'm upset we don't get to whale watch anymore. i was hoping for a killer whale. they're my favorite," saki described their behaviors and how graceful they are as people filled up the bay.


see the smile a-waitin' in the kitchen,

food cookin' and the plates for two.
"anything away from my family is fine with me. boat or no boat, as long as i'm enjoying myself." the boy signed, wiping the sweat off his forehead midway. "the boat doesn't look damaged though, so no harm. i think it's kind of neat we crash-landed, like an adventure." they sat on the beach, the water threading between their toes as they talked. "yeah maybe there's buried treasure, wooo!" sal raised his arms for emphasis, yelping as a sudden cold wave splashed further up on him than he'd like.


feel the arms that reach out to hold me,

in the evening when the day is through.
saki laughed, looking at his new friend with a smile as the sun began to lower in front of them.
he couldn't wait for the days to come.

How Does Your Kalon Feel About Their Cruise Breaking Down?

Araena looked around curiously, her eyes wide at the opportunities that lay hidden on the island. She turned to the annoyed mechanic to say a quick good-bye before running off to see what she could find. The Cruise breaking down meant there were more opportunities to learn. Although cruises were meant for vacation, Araena wanted to learn battle techniques from the creatures she could spot while on the trip. She'd already watched the whales, studied their slow movements, and how fast they could move without using so much energy. Now she spotted the exotic creatures, so the cruise breaking down was a blessing. After all, how was she supposed to win against those who were trying to take her crown if she didn't learn from the creatures who had lived the longest?

Araena watched the creature before her, enthralled as they struck their prey down. Although it upset her to watch another animal pass from the world, Araena was honoured that she could witness the strength of the fight, and how even the toughest creatures could be brought down. Once again, she realized just how greatful she was to have been able to experience the world at work through the breaking down of the cruise.

How does your kalon feel about the cruise breaking down?

Kimberly stood frozen in shock for a moment before recovering. She cleared her throat, her paws shaking ever so slightly. One of her biggest fears was water. How her parents convinced her to go on the kruise to relax, she didn’t know.

As panic began washing over her, she took a deep breath, instead trying to focus on the low rumbling of the kalon’s voices. Of course they were talking about the kruise breaking down. Kimberly quickly lowered her head, walking quickly to the stairs. As soon as she was out of sight, she sprinted toward her room, eager to just let the commotion to cease.

Her eyes focused solely on the large door of her room, she missed the kalon turning the corner, and slammed into them, both yelping in surprise.

Moaning in pain, she sat up rubbing her head, and met the victim of her ignorance. He cracked a small smile and chuckled, groaning as he stood up. Holding out his paw, eyebrows raised, Kimberly grabbed on and was pulled up.

She laughed nervously. “Uh, thanks. Are... are you ok?” She asked shyly.

“Oh, you know, I think I’m dying.” He said eyes wide and shining. Immediately Kimberly sprang forward checking him for any injuries. “Good god, this is all my fault. I had just been looki-” She stopped, nose wrinkling. “Your fine!” She said, angry.

“Haha, I’m sorry.” He laughed, smiling widely. Kimberly noticed his dimples. “I’m Oliver. Who are you and why the heck were you running so fast!”

“My name is Kimberly and none of your business.” She said flatly, her panic coming back. She pushed through Oliver, reaching for the door.

“Wait wait wait.” Oliver said, a worried expression on his face. “Is something wrong? You seem nervous.” He reached out to me, though quickly pulled back, a blush spreading through his cheeks. “Don’t i deserve something for being knocked to the floor by a beast?” He said innocently, his eyes glittering with humor.

Kimberly sighed. “First of all, I fell too. Second, who are you calling a beast? But fine, I’ll tell you if you promise not to laugh.”

Oliver smirked. “Of course, beast. Kimberly rolled her eyes, though she was amused.

“So basically, I hate water. My parents somehow convinced me to get on here, but I swear, I’m having a stupid panic attack over the ship breaking down. Being alone helps, but I just don’t want to make a fool of myself.” She admitted, wringing her paws.

Oliver stopped for a moment, thinking. Finally he spoke. “Fears are normal. Take me for example; I’m deathly afraid of open wounds and blood!” Kimberly giggled. Giggled. Who was she? “It’s not funny!” Oliver laughed. “But what I really want to say is, if you need someone,” He gestured to himself, than the room. “I’m here.”

Kimberly smiled nervously. Her initial panic was beginning to subside, being replaced by a sense of butterflies flying wildly in her stomach.

“Well, help me calm down?” She asked, a grin plastered on her face. Funny thing is she already felt calm. “Of course. After you m’lady” Oliver bowed, allowing Kimberly to open her room door.

And there they chatted for hours on end, even after the boat began to move again. Maybe this wasn’t such a bad idea. Maybe it’s good that the kruise broke down. If it hadn’t, how would she have met Oliver?

Prompt One:
Featuring Elishan



All throughout his life, many bewildered people have told Elishan that nothing phases him. An incident could occur right in front of him and he wouldn’t even bat an eye, just jump into the fray. Nonchalant, as they say. A little dose of drama? No big deal. What’s the use in getting his hair in a knot about it. Something doesn’t go the way it was planned? Just adjust your course a little! He takes life in stride no matter the occasion.

The ship crashes onto an island with no foreseeable rescue?

Well. That’s not a problem at all. In fact, Eli would almost call that an adventure!

With a radiant smile on his face, he happily departs down the loading ramp bags in hand (perhaps one too many to bring on a trip), and large shimmering sunglasses reflecting the beautiful sunlight. His gaze sweeps the sandy beaches and lingers on the swaying palm trees.

“Look, friend,” he said cheerily to a random stranger walking down the ramp beside him, “if this isn’t paradise, I don’t know what is!”

The other cruise goer, however, didn’t share the same sentiments. With a dead-on stare, they conjured the most annoyed expression possible and, with a scoff, they rudely shoved Eli aside to get off the ramp. He stumbled a few steps precariously balancing the excessive luggage before righting, a big smile still set. Dropping one bag he gentle adjusts his large floral sunhat and fix the bubblegum pink glasses back on his nose.

“Don’t forget your sunblock!” He calls after them with a sickly-sweet tone.

Nothing phases him. Nope.

Alright well… maybe some things. Just a little.

How does your kalon feel about their cruise breaking down?

After rapidly typing a text to send to his dearly beloved, Spence sighed and shoved his phone into his brightly-patterned short pockets, leaning against the railing as he waited his turn to get off the ship. It was just his luck that he'd end up with this kind of cruise, but hey, it's still free at least. If anything, at least it was something more exciting than chilling in his room on a hot summer day. Besides, he's always secretly wished for something exciting to happen in his life, at least so he can have something to talk about. He was no longer the "pasty white nerd that spent his life in his room playing video games"-- now he's the "shipwreck survivor".... that is, assuming that he survives.

Taking a look around him, Spence realizes that his odds of surviving seem quite high, as the little island they arrived on seemed rather nice and quaint. Even though it wasn't the action-packed adventure that he'd always yearned for, at least it would be a nice relaxing time regardless. Who needed the stupid boat, anyways? All he needed to do was just chillax here for a bit, find a souvenir or two for Roman, and hope the boat gets fixed in time to go home; what could go wrong? The worst of his days were behind him, and it wasn't like the crash was that bad anyway, so there wasn't too much to worry about.

As he walked down the boardwalk, leading onto the island, Spence smiled, once more letting out a sigh, but this time in relief.
This island was completely nice and normal.


...right?
