So... no alcohol will be around... Wouldn't you agree that a 70 y/o sea salt would have a stash of booze on his ship? [...]

As mentioned on the time table:

[...](while you will be able to get a drink before that, the official concession stands, bars and restaurants will only be allowed to serve drinks after 22:30 - be aware, that the minimum drinking age for light stuff like beer in public is 14, while it is 16 for harder stuff like whiskey).So the answer is yes. He can even pour underage visitors one, as the decks of his boat, no matter how much visibility there is, is counted as private space. ; )

Aw... that's sad to hear. I still look forward to you coming!

Accepted. However, PPC, I would work on my attitude, especially concerning the rules. Just a little recommendation between friends.

Sure I do.
List for given Names: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
For last names, I usually use Google Translator, but also have other sources. I like speaking names. For example, the famous Atif Qalb has his name from the philosophical heart, the qalb, in Islamic Philosophy (a highly interesting topic, which I'll definately have to look into more!).
Though, why do you need it?

Gladly accepted!
Of course they can hitch a ride on the Aurelia, both her owner and the one she was named after are quite fond of their grandchildren and the one, who gave the boat its name, quite liked the four of them, when they met. However, the travelling arrangements won't be that necessary: If you want, you can have them start aboard the Aurelia.

by **The Scarlet Eagle** » Wed Dec 12, 2018 10:55 am

All right, I'll just say how they arrive.They'll use their Suburbans later to move around the city, to see the different shows.

The Scarlet Eagle wrote:All right, I'll just say how they arrive.They'll use their Suburbans later to move around the city, to see the different shows.

I don't think, that this will be possible: Many people will be there and, except for emergency vehicles, the area of the harbour will be closed off for all motor vehicles, that are not boats or can't fly. Even the Sultana will move on foot, if she wants to see the Almak Concert (if she has the time, that is...).
Maybe one of these babies would be better suited?

by **The Scarlet Eagle** » Wed Dec 12, 2018 11:31 am

Nah, don't worry, they'll move on foot. Although since the Suburbans have emergency lights and sirens, they are considered emergency vehicles, in a way.

Maybe in the Empire, but not here. ; )
In any case, maybe one of the gentlemen would be interested in meeting some of the showpeople? Maybe the Axeriders (Atif will be there) or some of the musicians?

by **The Scarlet Eagle** » Wed Dec 12, 2018 4:03 pm

Of course, they would be more than interested to meet some of the showpeople.
Just to say, since I'll be away on the 23rd, I won't be able to post right away at the start of the IC

Character Application - Name: Zoe Mariner @ Michaela Michelska
Age/Year of birth: 12-18-1974
Appearance:

Position: business owner
Country of Origin: Mercantile Federal Republic of the Aurora Confederacy
Security: n/a - she's not a VIP
Is the Character armed? boat has a flare pistol and distress rockets.

If yes, with what?
Dietary Concerns: None
Health Concerns: None
Notes: close frined of Micky.

Character Application - Name: Michaela Michelska
Age/Year of birth: 01-21-1991
Appearance: (Image or description)

Position: civilian, friend of Zoe Mariner
Country of Origin: as above
Security: n/a
Is the Character armed? as above

If yes, with what? Dietary Concerns: no
Health Concerns: no
Notes:

Despite Zoe and Micky pictured with catsuits, when modesty requires they do have other outfits that are less revealing.

Prior to taking the helm of Meridian Cargo Services, Zoe Mariner worked for Meridian Express as a captain of a ferry boat that used to sail between Aurora's main island and Nikolia, she is quite a seasoned sailor.

Sailing Vessel Application - Name: Luna Mysteria
Length: 10.82m
Beam: 3.53m
Draught: 2.5m
Air-draught (height from water to top of masthead) - 16.25m
Type: Cruising yacht
Country of Origin: Mercantile federal Republic of the Aurora Confederacy
Purpose: pleasure
Open to visitors? if they really want, but its just an old sailing boat!

A bit of history...
Luna Mysteria was built in 1980 and spent most of its days sailing around Khayr var before being shipped to Lake Hai'lu'kai in 1998, there it sat for a few years before being purchased by Zoe Mariner, who's parents run a ferry company that sails between the island of the Aurora Confederacy to the main land as well as to the nation of Nikolia. Zoe is in charge of the road freight division who's main job is to keep the ferries stocked. For sailing in harbours and on confined waterways, the Luna Mysteria also has a small 23hp diesel engine which can push the boat to around 5 knots (eventually!). When under sail the propeller is de-clutched from the engine but remains connected to an electric generator which enables the propeller to be used to drive the generator and so provide 24v DC and so keep the batteries topped off. Under sail Luna Mysteria can reach 7 knots meaning she won't win any races however thats not the job of this boat, she is purely a recreational boat, yet despite its small size, it is perfectly at home sailing in coastal waters or undertaking longer voyages in open water.

To help Zoe and Micky know where they are, the ship has a full electronic chart system as well as a weather radar, navigation lights are also fitted to the craft, both for when sailing at night under sail and for when under motor power, (yes the lights under R/L laws are slightly different for when sailing under power or under sail)

The boat is also cramped inside so anyone who is of a larger build, either in weight or height might find the boat cramped, anyone over 6 feet in height will have to watch their head if they come aboard.

Wanted to add, though, do you want your boat to participate in the Race of the Harbour Runners?

Done with the sample (one link for all three), not so much with the additional characters -- those will have to be from my main account, which is but a shadow of its former self, as you know... what I mean is, those characters all hail from Dahon, but the account was DEAT'd, so technically I'll be starting over with Duhon, at least RP-wise. Would that be an issue going forward?
