Maybe it's enough to forget that vague feeling of unease.

Or not.]

[Riona makes a face that's similar to what Eithan's thinking. But it's the price they pay for getting on for free. She opens up the overalls and hops into them, nose scrunched as she zips them up.]

The sooner the better. I'm detecting something a bit foul smelling on mine.

[She grins at Eithan's compliment.] Why thank you. Between a life at court and growing up seeing theater, I learned a bit about acting.

[moseyin]

Put those acting chops to good use again; now we're a bunch of deckhands. C'mon, let's go. [Cloud grabs the ID badge of a vaguely blonde guy, clips it onto his chest and jams a hat on his head to stuff most of his hair under. Getting out of the warehouse is a bit of a trial since he has to poke his head out and make sure the coast is clear before waving them along ahead of him, but at least that guard isn't back yet.

Now they just have to confidently board the ship. Probably can do that by pretending to load up the last of those supplies over there, right?]

[deviances]

[ Ah, court life. He gives her a nod in solidarity there. ]

Good thing no one pays much attention to the hired help. [ Especially since there is no ID of someone with red hair! Because of course there isn't, why would he be so lucky? So he just grabs a very generic looking dude's ID instead. Screw it.

He slips back out when Cloud waves for them to do so, spots those supplies that clearly need loading... and, screw it, he grabs some - starting with hefting a pretty decently sized crate full of what sounds like it might be breakable? Or at the very least, expensive. Oh dear. ]

Hey, there's a lot of this stuff... Bet they'd be more likely to just wave us on through if we've got our hands incredibly full.

[bryces_pup]

And the hired help hears all. [Always watch for the servants. They're invisible, they listen, and they gossip. But that's a separate discussion.

Not too many female dock workers, which makes things a tad difficult for Riona. She finds one with someone that has long brown hair, and that's what she grabs. Hopefully it's a woman's.]

Good idea. And if we look to be in a rush - urgent supplies needed now - they'll hopefully let us through without question. [Picking up some of them supplies, too!]

[moseyin]

[Sounds good to him; gonna grab his own couple of crates and load up, head down as they join everybody else loading up the ship. New hires, they're just some new hires making a buck...no big deal, it's a big ship...]

"Hey! You three!"

[Shit.]

"Those go in the aft storage supply, you idiots."

[Cloud turns to Eithan and kicks at his ankle lightly.] I told you. [cloud u dick]

[deviances]

[ Eithan kinda freezes up just a bit when they get shouted for, but then it's just directions on where to go, which is much MUCH better than it could have been.

Then Cloud kicks him. :| Hey! But he puts on a meek act, ducking his head a bit and feigning embarrassment. ]

S-Sorry! I just thought...

[ Aaand trails off appropriately. Time to just start beelining toward said aft storage supply! ]

[bryces_pup]

[Riona more or less has the same reaction, almost freezing up in panic. Her eyes dart around, looking for potential escape routes. But before she even identifies one, she realizes they're off the hook. She barely holds back a sigh of relief. She looks over and smiles apologetically at the person who called them out before hurrying along. Let's get around this corner and out of sight...]

That was close. [It's a mumble under her breath once they're out of sight and earshot.] Though Maker knows where the aft storage room is.

[moseyin]

At the back of the ship. [Holy knows how he remembers this crap...] 'Aft' sounds like 'ass.'

[deviances]

[ Eithan actually knows the answer to that one! But Cloud beats him to it, with that and he just ends up snickering instead. "Ass"... haha. ] I mean, you're not wrong. C'mon, hopefully we don't run into anyone else. I wanna get out of this damn suit-thing...

[ But of course the boat is fucking huge, and they've got to get all the way to the back. Wonderful. ]

[bryces_pup]

Now I wish I had that little mnemonic technique when I was learning about the parts of a ship. Something tells me I would have gotten a scolding for it.

[She can picture her mother's face.

it is, admittedly, a pretty long walk to the aft. Riona just tries to keep her head down; best thing to do is not draw attention to themselves.]

Is that it down there, you think? [After x amount of time passed. The room says "STAFF ONLY", so it seems a good a spot as any.]

[moseyin]

Sounds good to me, [says Cloud, content to just wing the shit out of this and honestly just discarding the cargo he's been lugging around in favor of just trying the door- oh, the keycard. Good thing they swiped these! Ding, they're in.

...very unremarkable storehouse. Cloud tosses the hat aside and starts yanking the jumpsuit off.] That was easy. Think we should ditch these things overboard once the ship sets off?

[deviances]

Goddess, yes please..

[ Eithan's plopping his own stuff down on the floor, and then immediately taking of the damn jumpsuit. ]

Anyway, I saw plenty of passengers wearin' pretty much whatever, so I doubt we're gonna have to swipe any fancier clothes. We're probably fine. [ ... Says the guy whose current fashion taste lines up with "mildly punk rock" but hey whatever ] How long till they actually ship off, you think? Hopefully soon?

[ Look he showed up to these shenanigans late, surely one of you two looked at the actual time? Maybe?? ]

[bryces_pup]

[Riona's tossing off her jumpsuit as well, scrunching her nose as she dumps it on top of the supplies they brought in.]

Best dispose of the evidence, yes. Not many places to run or hide here if word gets out there are stowaways.

[Being hunted on a ship out to sea is Not a Fun Time.]

Ahh... I don't know, actually. I just heard about this and wondered what it was all about. I didn't... get any details. [Whoops.] But it shouldn't be too long if there are passengers aboard already, right?

[moseyin]

[Grabs their clothes up and stuff them into a sack he finds shoved into the corner of the storage room, grabbing a couple heavy soup cans to weigh it down.] All we gotta do is act natural, it'll work out. Maybe split up too, just in case.

[deviances]

[ Well, hell, if they're not worried, neither is he! This works great. ]

Split up now, reconvene for celebratin' sometime later? [ Hopeful smile?? :D ]

[bryces_pup]

[They totally got this.

Right?]

Agreed. I'm sure we all have different ideas of fun. We'll split up up here. Try not to get into too much trouble now.

[moseyin]

Great, drinks on you guys later. [wait, don't cruises give you free booze

Anyway he's gonna go dump this shit and then wander around before remembering that he gets motion sick and spend half an hour heaving over the side of the deck. Hope y'all have fun]
