[After several of the passengers had broken the emergency glass panel in the Captain's command deck, the Elegante slowly, slowly begins to move again. But it's not a smooth journey. In fact, she seems to vibrate and shake as she lurches along, and with every inch further every passenger will feel more tired, more shaken and exhausted, as if their

[...There is no way this can be happening.

They're brought aboard this ship, they struggle to work out what is going on, they defeat a monster that consumed their worlds and...

An iceberg is what's going to kill them all?!

Yuna hates this ship so much.]

[stoicguardian]

Yuna, let's go.

[Auron can so swim and he's pretty sure he can carry them both. Piggy back time, Yuna!]

[summonupastorm]

[Yuna can swim, too, but her endurance really isn't the best - especially for such a long distance. She's worried about Auron not being able to carry her, but...she takes little time to grab onto him.

He probably wouldn't have takne "I can swim" as an acceptable answer, anyway.]

[stoicguardian]

[No. He wouldn't.]

Hold tight.

[And off the siiiide they goooooooooo. Swim, Auron, swim like the wind!]

[lrjthrgibbs]

[He glanced at Jen and took her hand when the ship lurched and suddenly icy water hit his ankles. Shit. He had to get her out of here and fast.]

Don't let go.

[He ran with her, holding her hand tightly as they ran up to the deck. If this was the end, at least he could try to save her first. He reached the deck and pulled her into his arms. He wouldn't let her go as the ship started sinking.]

[agent_littlered]

[She gasped when there was that terrible loud sound and the lurch of the boat. It made her a little queasy- but the icy water made her blood run cold, figuratively of course.]

What the- Jethr-

[She stumbled the first few steps, crying out in protest, but running with him anyway. She stumbled into him once they were on the top deck and pressed close to him, making a quiet sound.]

An iceberg? I swear if Tony were here he'd make Some kind of movie reference...

[She giggles a little.]

[lrjthrgibbs]

[He winced at the reference to Tony. He hadn't realized how much he had missed his team until now. They were about to die, and his family was the last thing he was going to think about.]

Damn, Jen, stop giggling. This isn't funny!

[He wished she could be serious about this. At least they were going together this time, if they were going to die. Knowing this ship, something crazy would happen to save them all at the last minute.]

[agent_littlered]

[Her giggles stopped suddenly, when reality crept back into her mind. Her eyes widened and she looked up at him.]

Jethro... This ship is sinking.

[Thank you captain obvious.

A sudden shout captured her attention and she looked up at Maia.]

What?

[solittleeffort]

...Hm.

[Welp. Good thing Maia can fly.]

[elegante_masks]

[Flying high above the ship, Maia might be able to see a sliver of land about a mile away from the sinking wreckage.]

[solittleeffort]

[...Oh, she sees it. And Maia is going to do whatever she can to ensure that she and Harley get out alive. She takes a deep breath and shouts as loud as she can - these idiots had better listen to her.]

THERE'S LAND UP AHEAD! EITHER SWIM, FLY, OR FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN DO IT FOR YOU!

[tachikhromatic]

[Musashi just looks up at Maia in horror. Well. I guess this is where it finally ends for real.]

...I guess....I'll finally find out what it's like to go diving...

[tachikhromatic]

[Musashi was still on the deck, and it now realizes.]

Oh look, the boat is sinking!

[wait]

THE BOAT IS SINKING! I...I can't go in the water!

[iffadogcandoit]

[Toaster scrambles up one of Musashi's legs so he can sit safely on his head. TOaster is so afraid of water that you don't even know.]

[tachikhromatic]

Mister toaster, you should find someone else. I'm sorry, but I don't think I can get off the ship.

If you find somebody else, maybe you can survive instead.

[iffadogcandoit]

Only if you can come with me. I'm not going to leave you behind.

[rocklikerunaway]

[They're falling.

She hates falling.

A splash, the unmistakable crunch of bending metal. And then-...]

You have got to be kidding me.

WE'RE SINKING?!

I can't SWIM!

[standardpackage]

Join th' club.

[Jinx feels for you, man.]

[rocklikerunaway]

... Great, just what I was looking for; someone to drown with.
