[ Friday is so cute when he says things like that geez. Sam doesn't even know why, because it doesn't seem as cute if he tries to think of anyone else he knows saying the rams thing to him.. ]
Alright. I believe I saw a drink shaker somewhere back here...
[ He locates in and prepares the drink for Sam before serving it in a small glass with ice. He then nudges it over and motions Sam to lean over the bar. ]
I do have something sweet to dilute it a bit. Please close your eyes.
[ He grabs a cherry and removes the stem before pressing it to Sam's lips. He follows up the gesture by leaning forward to kiss him, using his tongue to push the cherry inside of Sam's mouth. ]
[ well he's kissing back after accepting the cherry in his mouth, piercing it with his teeth by bitting down on it just enough to share the juice between them (without actually biting Friday's tongue.) ]
[ Friday sucks the juice straight off Sam's tongue, savoring the tartness of it for a few seconds before pulling away and nudging Sam's drink closer. ]
[ licks his lips casually as he reaches for the drink when it's nudged close, going to take a sip. he gives the taste a moment to settle on his tongue before he swallows and responds. ]
[ He pours a glass of wine for himself before sliding into the seat next to Sam. ]
How has the return to the ship been treating you otherwise? It is difficult to fall into the old routine of performances and long days at sea without work. I have to clean just to maintain some semblance of sanity and normalcy.
[ sips from his drink, considering the question. ]
It's... hard. For a cruise there's just not a lot you can do. Even though I tried to prepare for almost a week beforehand to have everything I need here, it's still frustrating.
Communicating with my editors is hell on earth. Luckily, despite taking over as chair of the business, that's going smoothly because they all think I somehow had a really important vacation with the Limelight Stage that couldn't be missed. My editors kinda have the same impression, but they're still puzzled as to why I have such a bad connection.
I'm not exactly a fan of these idle games they have us play in between performances, either. I think I'd mind them less if the accommodations were better, but it just feels like constantly getting derailed with filler episodes.
And I'm worried about Forte. He's not doing so hot lately.
Filler...episodes? And with Moray falling into slumber, I do not blame him. I miss him too, and our cabins do feel even emptier for it. I hope he will be able to cope given what he learned about Moray just before Moray fell asleep.
It is all the more reason for me to come visit you both more often.
Sorry, I'm a writer and screenwriter, I use this kinda terminology, especially because the Showmaster is so obsessed with stories. Basically it's nonsensical stuff that doesn't justify being on this boat to experience. Maybe they will all tie in together, but my experiences go to negative harmful potentials for otherwise innocent but apparently pointless interactions.
Not sure if what he learned made it worse. He's very avoidant of the situation and selling heh u distraction. That's what I've been doing for the past several hours for him. He finally fell asleep, so I put him to bed.
It's understandable, I don't blame him, it's just this whole ship is dangerously fucked up emotional powdered that no one knows how to deal with, apparently, except with sleeping around with each other. Normally, this type of behavior is not the healthiest but can work for many people trouble, but we're basically in a cage of our own making. The drama on this ship regarding everyone's relationships really short circuits me. I try to underhand , but the fact is I never will. Both me and my vision self are not able to understand human emotions enough to assist people like I want to.
[ sighs. Drinks some more. ]
Maybe I'm actually jealous of everyone's connections rather than really think they're playing with fire, but...
I think you understand them more than you think...and I am sure most people are using the physical release and the brief high that comes with it to help escape the worst of what this ship offers and the visions.
[ Definitely guilty of that. ]
Or some people are so desperate for connection and comfort that they will use sex as a veil for intimacy they would otherwise not receive.
I hope so, though I have not kept close track of many relationships outside of Siren. Even then, I am not sure who is pursuing who even within the Sirens, save for Gray and Ore naturally.
I as well. It would be rather perilous to grow too attached. We do not know what fate awaits us at the end of this, though the thought of saying goodbye and never speaking to one another also makes me uneasy.
That would probably be an individual choice rather than something we would all have to experience without choice, at least.
Attachments make the trauma and suffering harsher, but I guess it's impossible to not want to seek out companionship with others especially in a situation like this.
I guess it's a no win and the majority of us willingly signed up for this kind of thing so we can't blame anyone but ourselves in the end...?
I could have stayed on shore, but I wanted to know the truth. Or maybe I was looking for a way to escape the complacency of my former lifestyle.
I do not regret boarding the ship either time no matter how terrible it gets. It is better than living in ignorance, and I would also not be able to spend more time with you and the other Sirens.
I hope that means we can go on another date soon, though there is not much to do on this ship with the limited shops and areas open to us. Perhaps, I can make you a candlelit dinner on the top deck?

Please have a seat. Let me fix something for you. I am not familiar with all the cocktails, but I can follow the recipe cards at the back of the bar.

...Whiskey sour it is then. Would you like it on the rocks? This seems a bit strong.

Shaken and on the rocks is great.
