[First Scream - Arrival] [Audio]

[osilentlamb]

Where the hell am I? I'd ask if this was a prank, but calling kidnapping a federal officer a 'prank' is pushing it.

Look, let me go, give me my weapons back, and I'm sure we can negotiate so this ends well for everyone. Otherwise, you're going to end up with a very sticky situation and a helluva long prison sentence, d'you understand?

Could it be...

"federal officer"....?

[osilentlamb]

I work for the FBI.

Did you bring me here, or were you kidnapped too?

[ugly_am_i]

"FBI"....?

kidnapped? I'm sorry, I didn't bring you here. We're all stuck here...

[osilentlamb]

The Federal Bureau of Invesitagtion.

Hey, it's okay. We'll get out of this mess.

You're on a ship called the MS Elegante. And...nobody will be going home anytime soon. You won't get your weapons back either, I'm sorry.

The Captain is really nice when he's not being...freaky.

[osilentlamb]

So what is this, people trafficking? Have you been kidnapped too?

[loothian]

It's...not people trafficking. He doesn't use us for anything.

We're going to the 'Golden Shore'.

[osilentlamb]

Never heard of it. That someplace in Europe?

[lilyground]

"Prison sentence"?

[osilentlamb]

It means they'll go to jail for a while.

[lilyground]

Oh. "Jail"?

[osilentlamb]

A big building they keep bad people in. Don't worry, kid, hopefully you'll be back with your family soon.

[faeriexprincess]

You're on a cruise ship called the MS Elegante; I'm guessing you just woke up?

[osilentlamb]

Cruise ship? Far as I know, kidnappers don't usually go out of their way to ensure luxury.

[faeriexprincess]

Well, the 'kidnapper' is a bit of a strange one. We all woke up here without knowing where we were, no one's even sure how we were brought here.

[osilentlamb]

I've seen that before in kidnappings. The kidnapper tries to take away any feeling of secutiry, makes you dependent on them. Confused peopel are easier to manipulate than calm, informed ones, after all.

[psychoticracer]

Unfortunately, everyone's weapons have been confiscated and they are unobtainable by any means we have yet to discover. And believe me, we're a creative lot.

I recommend going for the knives available in the rotisserie. Can be sharpened up to a tolerably useful blade.

[osilentlamb]

They give us access to weapons? Huh, might not need back-up after all.

[psychoticracer]

Yes, we've got access to most everyday materials that can be fashioned into weapons. No firearms though. There is a weapons locker, but we've not figured out how to get into it.

Hmm. I should give that another go.

Oh, and weapons you make, tend to disappear. Like the ship doesn't want you having 'em. Won't stop you from making 'em though, I keep a steady supply coming in my free time.

[osilentlamb]

Ah, I see. False hope, only helps to break captives. Common enough, but no less effective for that.

I'll keep that in mind.
