with lincoln being her saviour at this moment, aria could only feel some weight being lifted off her shoulders. he brought a little humor with his response &  .* she could only imagine him on that small stage singing his heart out. she could be his support system if he needed it, but it was only if she had a shot of favorite tequila, or a glass of STELLA ROSA if her tequila wasnât available.. . she ended up getting detached from the conversation, as her mind wondered away to all the possible choices of the ships alcohol collection. hearing him talk about some of the food selections that would be offered, she quickly zoned back. FOOD had been the last thing she wanted to think about with all the activity planning in place and cray cray passengers, but hearing lincoln describe one of the potential dishes . . just made her stomach soar with craving. watching as the guy left, she looked after him before turning her attention to lincoln. âso pufferfish pastries?,â she inquired, ânever knew that was a thing, but sounds bueno, do you guys put the fish inside or something?â. her stomach ended up being her worst enemy, as a soft rumble was heard.
brown  hues  can  only  blink  as  the  gentleman  speaks  in  rapid  fire  speed  ,  completely  TAKEN  ABACK  and  unsure  of  whatâs  even  being  said  at  this  point  .  though  luck  seems  to  be  turning  back  on  his  side  once  the  guy  appears  satisfied  with  their  interaction  and  a  lot  more  composed  than  when  lincoln  made  an  appearance  in  the  conversation  .  â  well  that  was  â  â  a  breath  of  a  laugh  leaves  his  lips  once  the  passenger  departs  and  lincoln  shakes  his  head  before  turning  to  look  back  over  at  aria  .  â  definitely  SOMETHING  .  and  for  sure  makes  me  glad  iâm  away  from  passengers  for  majority  of  my  shifts  .  â  his  ears  perk  at  the  sound  of  her  voice  once  she  addresses  him  and  hums  lightly  .  â  yeah  ,  weâre  located  right  on  deck  eleven  next  to  the  steakhouse  .  iâm  a  TAD  partial  to  say  everything  is  great  because  i  have  a  hand  in  baking  the  pastries  so  ,  yâknow  ,  not  to  toot  my  own  horn  .  but  the  stuff  there is  delicious  .  â  lincoln  opens  his  mouth  to  speak  following  her  question  ,  though  shuts  it  after  a  moment  and  his  eyebrows  knit  together  in  thought  .  â  i  mean  ,  i  donât  think  so  ??  i  think  itâs  more  so  for  alliteration  purposes  and  sticking  with  the  whole  underwater  theme  the  ship  has going on .  â  he  pauses  .  â  do you always deal with those kind of passengers ??  â
âya know, i grew up in oregon. most days are rainy and grey.â sunny smiles sadly, thinking of home. â but, those are usually just little showers. thunderstorms still kind of freak me out.â she mumbled, pushing her glasses up on her nose. âthe lightening, really.â she nods pulling her hoodie sleeves down over her hands. mickey gesturing with his hands puts a smile on her face, reminding her of a favorite teacher back in school. âi-is that an italian thing?â she questions, her brows furrowed while she moved her hands around imitating him. âthe movie choice is definitely⌠amusing.â she searchers for the word for a moment âbut so is our captain.â she laughs quietly. ânow youâre talkinâ!â she smiles, a real face splitting grin when he brings up mini-golf. âmy specialty is skee-ball⌠but youâre so on!â
mickey  sat  silently  as  sunny  spoke  ,  turning  his  head  so  his  gaze  was  FIXATED  on  her  so  she  knew  he  was  actively  listening  to  what  she  had  to  say  .  heâd  had  times  while  growing  up  where  he  had  a  tendency  to  speak  over  people  ,  as  well  a  rather  SHIT  attention  span  so  after  it  was  brought  to  his  attention  by  a  friend  ,  it  was  something  he  tried  his  best  to  work  on  .  mickey  wasnât  an  asshole  purposefully  ,  but  he  supposes  he  can  come  across  as  one  without  meaning  to  .  â  is  that  generally  a  pacific  northwestern  thing  ??  the  rain  and  clouds  ,  i  mean  .  or  is  it  to  hide  that  all  of  you  are  secretly  glittering  vampires  like  in  twilight  ??  â  he  jokes  lightly  with  a  chuckle  .  â  i  get  what  you  mean  though  .  thunderstorms  arenât  typically  my  thing  unless  itâs  a  calmer  one  and  iâm  safely  inside  .  thereâs  something  CALMING  about  the  rain  hitting  the  windows  and  counting  how  far  away  the  storm  is  with  the  thunder  .  â  when  heâs  speaking  he  has  a  reflection  back  to  his  childhood  in  boston  and  a  wave  of  nostalgia  washes  over  him  .  a  soft  hum  DRIFTS  from  his  lips  at  her  next  words  .  â  thankfully  i  think  weâre  clear  of  any  lightening  .  â  mickey  pauses  and  nods  .  â  well  ,  more  of  a  stereotype  insinutating  italians  frequently  talk  with  their  hands  .  which  is  true  to  an  extent  ,  i  guess  .  â  he  laughs  ,  chocolate  hues  lighting  up  at  her  EXCITEMENT  .  â  are  you  asserting  your  dominance  in  skee-ball  ??  âcause  iâll  have  to  know  that  i  suck  but my enthusiasm  makes  up  for  my  shit  skills  .  â
a closed top deck was adelineâs idea of heaven. since she had first boarded the pools had been her escape - just the thought of being in the water and swimming was often enough to ease her frazzled nerves but since sheâd started work she had soon learnt that the pools were populated by kids and pensioners â neither of which she was interested in sharing with. the storm however had brought a unique opportunity and having made her way to the top deck in nothing more than her bikini she had been delightfully happy to find the large pool empty, the rain fending off any adventurers. having been on her own for a while now her bikini had been disposed of, tied carefully to the stairs so that she didnât loose it in the storm, she knew people could show up, but she had nothing to hide anyway. the brunettes eyes were closed as she raised her head from the water, reaching up to brush her hair from her face for a moment before a cough sounded above her - the sound enough for her dark orbs to become visible as her lashes fluttered open. âcan i help you?â she hummed, elbows just keeping her modestly covered for now from where her arms were tucked against her.Â
for  as  FUN  and  entertaining  as  it  was  to  watch  the  upper  middle  class  white  momâs  unleash  an  inner  ring  of  hell  upon  the  unfortunate  souls  of  her  fellow  coworkers  ,  stevie  could  only  spare  to  lose  a  few  braincells  and  she  was  fairly  sure  she  reached  her  peak  for  the  day  .  surely  ,  the  idea  of  watching  jaws  and  titanic  among  being  stranded  during  a  storm  off  the  coast  of  fiji  was  dark  humor  on  the  part  of  the  captain  .  stevie  had  to  commend  him  for  that  because  nothing  beat  the  outrage  and  sputtering  of  the  parents  when  kate  winsletâs  tits  appeared  on  the  theater  screen  .  nevertheless  ,  it  didnât  take  long  for  a  headache  to  BLOOM  across  the  back  of  her  skull  and  stevie  knew  that  if  she  spent  any  longer  in  the  theater  that  she  would  potentially  combust  .  fast  forward  to  her  finding  sanctuary  on  the  top  deck  despite  the  blaring  orange  signs  that  said  OTHERWISE  and  not  being  as  surprised  as  she  shouldâve  been  to  find  someone  swimming  in  the  pool  .  whiskey  colored  hues  shifted  to  the  bathing  suit  tied  to  stairs  and  a  breath  of  an  incredulous  laugh  passes  through  her  lips  .  stevie  decides  to  sit  down  on  the  pool  chair  nearby  and  leans  back  against  her  palms  while  the  brunette  speaks  .  â  nah  ,  just  escaping  the  hell  of  the  theater  down  below  .  â  she  raises  an  eyebrow  as  the  brunette  swims  around  and  gestures  a  free  hand  toward  her  .  â  iâd  imagine  youâre  not  hoping  for  a  public  indecency  charge  if  a  kid  manages  to  find  their  way  up  here  and  see  you  in  all  your  â  UNABASHED  glory  .  â
 aria was only seconds 0.1 milliseconds to be a exact from punching this guys face in. with a look of false interest plastered on her face, aria would appear to have a look of concern while this man was talking to her. he spoke to her about his wife, who was upset about not being able to land in FIJI . &  how his great great great grandmother was born there. Nothing seemed to make sense with him, as her knuckles were turning white from the grip she had on her activity book. she nodded and gave him a pat on the shoulder, hopefully something that would shut him up. she eventually interjected, âwell we have a yoga studio and spa area, the both offer a tropical atmosphere ⌠can maybe even take her mind off of FIJI for the timeâ. she looked down at her clipboard, writing a few things down and tearing the piece that was written on. handing it to him, she list some invites that she had planned for the couples on the ship, all based around the idea of FIJI if she couldnât get them to FIJI might as well bring it to them ⌠right . ? seeing his eyes light up, she felt pleased that he seemed excited. âwe have couples karaoke night, couples dance competition and even an etiquette class offered in the dining hall, which our head chef decided to cook forâ. aria looked over to the person standing next to her, smiling uneasily, âwouldnât you say that sounds like fun?"Â
lincoln  decided  to  venture  out  of  his  cabin  when  the  hunger  in  his  stomach  became  too  PERSISTENT  to  ignore  and  the  poptarts  he  had  hidden  away  in  his  draw  failed  to  appear  as  appealing  in  any  way  .  one  benefit  he  found  to  working  behind  the  scenes  at  the  pastry  shop  was  that  his  company  mainly  consisted  of  cupcakes  and  decorative  icings  rather  than  the  passengers  themselves  .  and  with  the  current  state  of  affairs  with  the  storm  ,  he  couldnât  more  grateful  for  that  .  lincoln  didnât  mind  putting  more  time  into  work  since  it  kept  his  mind  busy  and  apparently  the  passengers  were  QUICKLY  stress  eating  their  way  through  the  pastry  shop  .  understandable  .  unfortunately  ,  lincoln  thought  he  was  safe  from  slipping  between  passengers  and  fellow  coworkers  on  his  quest  to  find  food  ,  but  that  hope  was  STOMPED  out  when  he  found  himself  being  addressed  .  â  uh  â  sure  .  i  canât  really  sing  and  i  donât  have  an  other  half  so  if  anything  ,  itâll  be  a  pretty  bad  cover  of  nineties  britney  spears  .  â  chocolate  hues  blink  as  he  gathers  his  thoughts  and  lincoln  visibly  FUMBLES  in  his  attempt  to  help  .  â  pufferfish  pastries  restocked  on  their  popular  lemon  zinger  scones  and  danishes  so  thereâs  always  that  to  check  out  .  â
esther pulled out her phone, dictating slowly as she typed into google, âmini golf related deaths.â she scrolled through, âi mean, more than you think, but iâm not sayinâ it isnât worth the risk.â she shrugged, a grin on her lips. esther, of course, was always down for adventure- even if there was the potential for electrocution via lightning, âoh, sorry about what? your hands?â she lifted her eyebrows, âbarely noticed.â and it was true, as someone who also often talked with her hands, she hardly noticed other peoples wild gesticulations. esther wrinkled her nose then, âyou know what? iâm not afraid that youâll win because i know that you would. i am bad at sports and pretty much all other physical activity. this body was not made to be an athlete. and iâve come to accept my fate. iâve made it this far, yeah?â mini golf was not the most strenuous physical activity, but she was still pretty sure that she would lose.Â
mickey  canât  help  but  snicker  to  himself  as  esther  pulls  out  her  phone  to  investigate  further  into  golf related  deaths  .  his  eyebrows  knit  together  in  interest  ,  leaning  forward  an  inch  or  two  to  get  a  somewhat  decent  glance  at  her  illuminated  screen  .  â  a  point  was  made  .  iâd  imagine  thereâs  a  lot  of  uh  â  misuse  of  the  golf  clubs  .  or  not  so  accidental  drownings  in  the  ABNORMALLY  blue  fountains  .  â  itâs  definitely  a  thought  evoking  scenario  to  envision  that  mickey  is  slightly  ashamed  to  find  as  intriguing  it  could  be  .  also  of  which  he  chalks  up  to  his  not  so  MILD  interest  in  true  crime  .  nevertheless  ,  it  allows  some  food  for  thought  .  hearing  esther  reply  ,  the  competitive  nature  in  him  dwindled  down  and  figured  heâd  be  down  for  a  friendly  game  of  mini  golf  where  he  could  ALWAYS  challenge  fox  for  that  competitive  edge  .  â  ah  ,  i  get  what  you  mean  .  youâre  looking  at  a  biochem  major  turned  comedian  so  ...  athleticism  was  NEVER  in  my  cards  .  i  mean  ,  i  was  pretty  kick  ass  at  kickball  but  thatâs  another  story  .  mini  golf  is  as  good  as  it  gets  for  me  even  though  my  brother  typically  kicks  my  ass  .  so  if  anything  ,  we  both  suck  horribly  together  .
      arms are tucked inside his large hoodie and wrapped tightly around his torso, fingers playing with the chain that was kept stowed away from the public eye. the aglet of the hood string is caught between his teeth, mindlessly chewing on the plastic piece as his eyes scan the large screen ahead of them. he was just the photographer after all, what else was he supposed to do during this time? pale irises turn to the other at his side, part of his attention on him while he was speaking â amusement showing through the sudden curve of his right brow. âtop deck? really?â now he was interested. he had his camera but with everybody focused on the movie, there wasnât much to capture there. if he went up to top deck, he could snap a few of the storm for himself â maybe catch good shots of the massive waves too. âshut up â iâll kick your ass at mini golf. iâve never lost a game,â he also has never won a game, since he has never indulged in it. that wasnât the point though. âlets cut out of here now,â chance spoke with a small grin, guiding his arms back through the sleeves and sitting himself up.
it  was  only  a  matter  of  time  before  mickey  found  himself  staring  dead  eyed  at  the  screen  in  the  front  of  theater  .  movies  often  required  a  solid  two  hours  or  so  of  minimal  movement  and  talking  which  â  definitely  not  something  that  ever  worked  well  with  him  .  fifteen  minutes  into  titanic  and  he  was  tapping  his  fingers  unconsciously  against  the  cushioned  arm  of  the  seat  with  IMMEDIATE  disinterest  .  heâd  seen  the  movie  more  than  heâd  even  like  and  he  wasnât  in  the  mood  to  watch  leo  freeze  to  death  on  a  door  that  could  have  DEFINITELY  held  his  weight  .  frustrations  aside  ,  mickey  is  glad  to  have  caught  the  interest  of  the  brunette  beside  him  and  grins  in  response  .  â  for  sure  offers  more  fun  then  watching  the  inevitable  death  of  half  the  people  in  this  movie  and  the  cries  to  follow  of  the  kids  in  the  audience  .  â  his  voice  is  low  in  an  attempt  to  keep  his  plans  just  between  them  .  not  to  mention  that  getting  aggressively  shushed  by  a  movie  goer  didnât  rank  HIGH  on  his  list  of  shit  he  wanted  to  happen  .  his  gaze  averted  down  to  the  camera  hanging  around  the  otherâs  neck  and  shoots  him  a  grin  .  â  you  could  get  a  sick  shot  of  lightening  mid  strike  .  or  maybe  even  me  getting  struck  by  lightening  and  iâll  give  you  full  rights  to  it  .  â  mickeyâs  taking  the  piss  on  the  later  part  but  moves  to  get  up  anyway  and  waves  him  to  follow  .  â  do  you  have  a  tally  board  hidden  in  the  notes  of  your  phone  to  remember  that  ??  â  he  snickers  before  adding  ,  â  either  way,  thereâs  a  chance  for  anything  and  thatâs  me  handing  your  ass  to  you  in  mini  golf  .  i  call  dibs  on  the  green  ball  !!  â
Eyebrows knitting in confusion, Shylo cocked her head, heeding her companion with utter bewildered for the briefest of moments before a soft, airy chuckle rose in her throat. Mickeyâs queryâor perhaps assumptionâwas amusing to say the least. âYouâve never heard of people being struck by lightning while golfing in storms? Hell, a woman who lived a few streets from me, back in Skye, she was struck three times in her life⌠in the same lane⌠in the same spot. Different years, but come on⌠hadnât the woman suffered enough?â Her question bled into a snicker, and Shylo laced her fingers before herself, cracking her knuckles and stretching her neck, preparing for war. She levelled the other with a mischievous gaze, the challenge clear in her eyes. âBut Iâm not scared of a little itty bitty storm, so youâre on, Italy. Bring it.â
mickey  pauses  once  shylo  starts  to  speak  and  he  sits  in  silence  throughout  her  story  .  it  made  him  wonder  if  this  woman  that  she  spoke  up  ever  decided  to  take  up  scratch  lotto  âcause  if  those  were  her  chances  of  continuously  being  struck  by  lightening  ,  then  she  should  try  her  luck  at  lotto  or  gambling  .  â  so  what  youâre  saying  is  that  even  if  i  do  get  struck  by  lightening  ,  then  my  chances  of  bouncing  back  are  HIGH  .  why  should  that  deter  us  ??  if  anything  ,  itâll  give  a  cool  story  to  tell  ,  yeah  ??  â  he  throws  in  addition  ,  â  that  woman  sounds  like  a  LEGEND  so  i  can  live  up  to  her  if  the  lightening  gods  decide  to  strike  .  â  hearing  her  snicker  quickly  led  mickey  into  joining  her  ,  only  pausing  when  he  sees  the  determination  in  her  eyes  .  â  italy,  huh  ??  weâre  bringing  out  mother  countries  into  this  now  .  well  then  ,  bring  it  on  ,  scotland  .  it  wonât  be  rainbows  and  unicorns  when  i  wipe  the  floor  with  you  .  iâm  a  mini  golf  connoisseur  .  â
âTechnically weâre not supposed to do a lot of things, and yeah iâm just here to make sure you donât hurt yourself.â Sunhi mumbled before putting on a smile for the other as he crossed his arms knowing he should be manning the bar instead of trying to get mickey down. âDonât worry, I donât mind it, Iâm just trying to survive the night and not have your untimely demise in my mind because how else am I going to be friends with a guy whose hair defies gravity.â Rolling his eyes at the other, he offered mickey a smile before thinking about the movie choices. âYeah, theyâre pretty bad choices considering that nobody wants to be thinking about killer sharks and ships sinking. Um, no itâs fine my ass is okay where it is and no need for it to be kicked by you.â
â  a  PROPER  bodyguard  then  ,  eh  ??  is  this  what  being  important  feels  like  ??  â  mickey  teases  in  reply  and  grins  over  at  sunhi  .  he  knows  heâs  being  a  bit  of  a  shit  in  keeping  the  other  distracted  and  definitely  NOT  doing  his  job  ,  but  clearly  this  was  a  TOP  priority  .  â  see  â  i  knew  there  was  a  reason  you  kept  me  around  .  some  solid  jokes  ,  a  winning  smile  and  killer  hair  .  if  anything  ,  my  hair  will  cushion  my  fall  and  iâll  be  fine  .  â  an  amused smile tugs  at  his  lips  while  he  leans  against  the  counter  of  the  bar  .  â  itâs  dead  here  anyway  and  youâll  be  closing  soon  for  the  movie  showcase  .  i  can  tip  you  for  exemplary  service  if  thatâs  what  you  want  .  though  iâll  have  to  request  a  quick  jack  and  coke  if  you  accept  that  .  â  mickey  teases  before  dropping  his  head  in  defeat  once  sunhi  speaks  again  .  â  you  are  truly  breaking  my  heart  ,  dude  .  whereâs  that  REBELLIOUS  james  dean  hiding  inside  of  you  ??  and  it  wouldnât  be  me  kicking  your  ass  â  just  a  nice  little  victory  push  !!  â
        angel  was  growing  TIRED  of  being  on  the  ship  ,  though  his  last  few  days  had  been  a  bit  of  a  blur.  the  best  part  of  docking  was  taking  pictures  that  WERENâT  of  couples  fake  smiling  at  dinner  or  posting  stupidly  over  the  railing.  god  ,  he  just  wanted  to  PUSH  them  off  ,  but  apparently  that  was  illegal.  anyway  ,  angel  preferred  docking  because  it  was  a  change  of  scenery  ,  and  he  loved  photographing  GENUINE  moments.  so  here  he  was  ,  dreading  the  next  TWO  DAYS  until  new  zealand.  he  is  ,  however  ,  in  good  spirts  -  a  bottle  of  jack  hidden  in  PLAIN  SIGHT  as  heâs  turning  into  the  moving  theater.  â  iâve  gotta  say  ,  playing  TITANIC  on  a  cruise  ship  is  fucking  funny  and  for  that  ,  me  and  my  date  ,  â  fingers  tap  on  the  bottle  heâs  â hiding â  against  his  chest  ,  under  his  jacket  ,  â  plan  to  spend  the  night  wanting  people  be  freaked  out. â  you  should  come  ,  but  iâm  NOT  sharing.  â
lincoln  wasnât  ever  someone  to  complain  about  having  to  put  in  a  little  extra  work  when  needed  since  he  TYPICALLY  considered  himself  as  the  team  player  type  .  but  with  the  ongoing  storm  and  feeling  a  strong  sense  of  cabin  fever  of  being  stuck  on  the  ship  had  him  feeling  like  his  skin  was  crawling  .  though  ,  he  knew  it  was  a  shared  sentiment  among  his  fellow  crew  members  so  he  tried  to  keep  any  complaints  to  himself  .  thankfully  ,  he  was  hidden  away  in  the  kitceh  of  pufferfish  pastries  and  NOT  in  direct  contact  with  the  customers  ,  which  made  these  two  days  appear  somewhat  easier  .  he  weighed  the  idea  of  appearing  at  the  theater  with  the  possibility  of  running  into  disgruntled  passengers  lowering  his  initial  desire  .  then  he  heard  about  the  free  food  and  you  could  never  truly  turn  down  free  food  .  so  here  he  was  and  coincidentally  right  beside  angel  .  chocolate  hues  watch  the  other  in  MILD  amusement  and  allows  a  small  chuckle  to  leave  his  lips  .  â  youâre  not  as  discreet  as  you  think  you  are  with  that  .  â  lincoln  counters  ,  raising  his  gaze  to  meet  angelâs  .  â  unless  thatâs  the  whole  point  .  either  way  ,  you  canât  offer  up  your  company  but  deny  the alcohol  .  donât  be  STINGY  ,  mate  .  but  youâre  lucky  the  possibility  of  miffed  middle  aged  mums  when  the  sex  scenes  come  on  in  front  of  their  kids  is  TEMPTING  enough  to  tag  along  .  â
âas much as i love the person that decided to put singinâ in the rain on the movie list for tonight, i canât help but think about how itâs a bit fucked up that theyâre playing TITANIC of all things in the middle of a storm on a boat,â eliana hummed, tucking her legs underneath her as she took a seat in the theater. she paused after she spoke, taking a moment to look around at the others that had decided to spend their time there too. âi mean, iâve already had a handful of guests come up to me with skeptical questions about how safe this boat actually is, because they watched titanic a few nights before boarding, so they were freaked out that somehow this wasnât going to be safe. i canât wait to see the panicking in the coming days.â

         to  no  surprise  ,  it  was  like  his  boyfriend  had  read  his  mind.  fox  was  NOT  interesting  in  worrying  himself  about  the  boat  sinking  ,  because  then  him  and  mickey  would  not  be  sleeping  that  night  ,  and  it  wouldnât  be  cause  by  the  ONLY  reason  fox  would  find  not  sleeping  acceptable.  â  iâll  google  it  ,  and  iâll  get  back  to  you.  â  he  jokes  ,  a  wide  grin  on  his  face  as  he  takes  it  upon  himself  to  side  his  own  hand  into  mickeyâs  hoodie  pocket  ,  joining  mickeyâs  once  FLAILING  hands  quite  comfortably.  fox  remembered  the  point  when  it  was  AWKWARD  and  he  was  UNSURE  if  he  could  hold  mickeyâs  hands  ,  and  now  he  was  just  taking  it  upon  himself  to  shove  his  hands  into  mickeyâs  pocket  just  so  they  can  be  touching.  â  when  does  the  italian  in  you  not  come  out  ?  iâm  telling  your  mom  you  were  trying  to  hide  it.  â  he  tease  ,  tilting  his  head  to  the  side  to  look  at  mickey.  â  we  BOTH  know  what  iâm  better  at  mini  golf  than  you  so  you  shut  your  mouth  RIGHT  NOW  ,  because  this  is  officially  a  challenge.  â  heâs  tugging  at  mickeyâs  hoodie  pocket  ,  urging  him  to  the  top  deck.  â  if  we  die  ,  at  least  itâll  be  cool.  and  dramatic  ,  and  together  ,  like  the  coolest  plot  to  an  action  movie  !  â

statistics:
full name: lincoln william bradshaw /Â nicknames: linc / birthday: february 14th / sexuality: pansexual / birthplace: kingston, england / spoken languages: english & spanish / hogwarts house: slytherin
tidbits of info:
so lincoln is an only child between his two parents isobella and monica but he was a sperm donor baby of which isobella was who gave birth to lincoln .. at the time bc it was the 1990â˛s .. his momâs were together but not Officially Together in terms of the law but they were together for a long while
isobella was a high end art dealer who had a studio in london and made serious $$ from selling these fancy schmancy paintings ,, she was v big into the dutch golden age but she sold a lot of post-modern art meanwhile monica was a bioengineering professor over at the imperial college london
things were swell and lovely up until linc was around 4 years old or so .. his momâs loved him v much and he had his nanny samantha that raised him mostly when his parents were busy , but he often saw monica more than isobella and it was a lot of built up agitation between his moms that built up before it bubbled over the top
his mom isobella was super big into party and w her art friends and money , she often held parties at their flat and was more into recreational drugs and alcohol than she shouldâve been with a lil son .. and monica was v wary of this and the two of them often clashed in terms of how to raise linc
his momâs split up when he was four and isobella kicked monica out which made linc ))): and from then he mainly saw his nanny samantha and saw isobella whenever she would come home at night for a half hour before she tucked him into bed and her friends would come over
it was a tough time bc isobella was uHhh petty and didnât let monica see linc much other than every other weekend and the law couldnât do much bc isobella was the biological parent and technically they werenât ever married so monica couldnât do much
but fast forward his childhood which was kinda lonely and samantha raised him more than his mom did .. linc was easy going and enjoyed learning and was never a v fussy type of person
he definitely was shaped in the lax environment of his home w isobella and for sure when he was in his teens he went behind his momâs back to spend time w monica bc he missed her and knew isobella was being annoying and petty
bc he remembers the arguments between his momâs .. heâs not v big into like .. disputes and is a calm dude who goes w the flow and doesnât ever yell or raise his voice bc he sees no point to it and it just gets ppl more angry
he got a job at a popular bakery which was owned by a friend of monicaâs and *harry styles vc* he was a baker .. kdsan loved the intricacies and complexity of making pastries and loved decorating them and making them pretty bc heâs a nerd and i love him (â:
v soft and v embracing of his sexuality and kinda just .. does his thing ?? spreads the love and is content being on his own atm since heâs just enjoying his life .. did fairly well in school bc things just came easy to him and was well liked among his classmates and teachers
knew he enjoyed baking and making pastries bc it was generally peaceful and he was kept to his own devices and was in the back more often than dealing with cranky customers in the front kjdnfdks but when he was up by the register he got some nice tips w his smile n dimples
heâs slightly miffed bc his mom isobella pulled strings despite him telling her not to about him securing a place at le cordon bleu in london for their diplĂ´me de pâtisserie ,, but either way he accepts and gets educated there and he !! loves it !!
after graduating he decides he wants out of london and to kinda ,, spread his own wings and following his mom monicaâs wedding w her new wife claire , he embakrs on horizon where he was hired as pastry chef at pufferfish pastries and heâs excited to be able to travel the world !!!
overall a v chill and laidback dude who means well , v compassionate and wears his heart on his sleeve but in no way lets ppl roll right over him .. v hipster and loves getting up early to do morning yoga bc i hate him djkfs
here is my lil hobgoblin #2 aka my girl stevie whoMSt i love v dearly and sheâs a new muse and also a lot of it is me being gay for emma mackey so0o0oo0 we out here laid ease !! some bits of info are down below and pray 4 me to push through lincolnâs jfnkds
( emma mackey, cisfemale, she/her ) ⡠hey, thatâs STEPHANIE âSTEVIEâ ROUSSEAU whoâs originally from SCEAUX, FRANCE. i heard theyâre TWENTY-THREE and have been working on the ship as a BARTENDER AT CLUB H2O for SEVEN MONTHS. other passengers seem to say theyâre DELPHIC and APATHETIC, but are also known to be RECEPTIVE and CHARMING. when theyâre missing home, i heard WATCHING THE SUNSET & READING can always cheer them up. âˇÂ
statistics:
full name: stephanie amÊlie rousseau / nicknames: stevie  /  birthday: may 12th  / sexuality: bisexual / birthplace: sceaux , paris , france /  spoken languages: french, english, german, & italian  /  hogwarts house: ravenclaw
tidbits of info:
stevie was born as the result of a last ditch effort to save an already failing marriage between clara rousseau and louis moreau and u know ⌠spoiler alert it didnât work bc it only took louis six months following stevieâs birth that he dipped with only a half assed note as an apology and left clara with stevie and their older three year old daughterÂ
though stevie doesnât remember her father at all , she knows he Ainât Shit from what sheâs been told by her mother even though itâs v clear that her mother still is very much in love w her father despite all the shit he pulled and the turbulent relationship that they had
but a silver lining to it all was stevieâs mom took her newfound single-hood and decided to get back into teaching which was smth she put on hold when she married louis and then eventually stevie and her sister came along so she got a bit of cabin fever from being in the house so often while louis was out managing a popular restaurant ig
while stevie does kinda wish she couldâve spent more time w her mom , it meant that she had a certain level of freedom to do as she pleased when she was growing up when her mom got hired as a history and archaeology professor over at sorbonne universitĂŠ .. so stevie explored the depths of paris when she was able to escape her suburb of sceaux with her older sis
so bc of that sheâs a bit of a free spirit and letting herself be led by whatever sheâs feeling in the moment , but thatâs doesnât mean she easily bounces between whatever manages to pique her interest , sheâs a tad of a polymath in liking to dabble in each thing and dedicates a lot of her time to fully understanding and being good at smth before she feels like sheâs knowledgable before moving on
also .. pls call her stevie bc if she hears u call her stephanie she might blow a gasket bc she hates her name jdnflkjas plus her mom is the one person she allows to call her that even if it gets on her nerves .. p much she just thinks stephanie is a bland name and thinks stevie has more personality behind it , no shade to any stephanieâs out there djsfkjds
bc iâm Garbage for maeve in sex education , a lot of stevieâs vibes are herâs with her newly dyed blonde hair w pink towards the end and nose ring .. naturally a brunette but when stevie decided to dip out of france and to horizon she thought it was time for a New Look ., she def has that parisian flair to her sense of fashion with cute lil neck scarves but also the maeve look of doc martins w ripped stockings and denim skirts
stevie is a mix of embracing her femininity with her fair share of babydoll dresses, blouses w peter pan collars and turtlenecks under strappy dresses , but also fluctuates to her more grunge looks of plaid, ripped skinny jeans and loose shirts . she doesnât really mind it ?? views it as her sense of style and chooses to wear whatever sheâs vibing w most
despite her easy going n seemingly carefree personality , stevie is actually v intelligent and her lips know how to drip honey when they want ,, she graduated v high up in her class and went on to study fashion design and technology at ifa paris where she got her bachelorâs degree
she learned a lot there and definitely solidified stevie wanting to start up her own self ran boutique so thatâs been her dream for a while now .. but she got tired of paris and decided to dip and she found herself as a bartender on horizon at club h2o bc she figured she could finagle tips out of drunk ppl dnalkd
tbh stevie jumps from hookup to hookup w/o ever really desiring a relationship bc her mother hasnât been w anyone since stevieâs father so she doesnât see herself as needing a significant other to help ground her or fill some hole bc sheâs happy with her life and where she is ?? maybe one day sheâll change her mind but sheâs also a but ehh bc her father dipped so thereâs a small part of her that thinks everyone eventually ends up leaving so thereâs not much of a point
stevieâs main goal is to save up enough money so she can get her online boutique off the ground where itâs v cute and has parisian flair to it and she has designs sheâs working on but wants to save up before she goes any further
*cody ko vc* what is uP my guys we have three motherfuCKERS in the back of this car and one of them is this chaotic bisexual mickey jcndlskjf . i have stevie and lincolnâs coming up soon so pls bear with me bc im stuck at work and Suffering. but yeah pls like this to give me validation jsfkn also if u wanna plot and iâll slide into ur dmâs
( joe keery, cismale, he/him ) ⡠hey, thatâs MICHAEL âMICKEYâ VALESKA whoâs originally from BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS. i heard theyâre TWENTY-FIVE and have been working on the ship as a COMEDIAN AT THE SHOW LOUNGE for A YEAR AND A HALF. other passengers seem to say theyâre IMPATIENT and PASSIVE, but are also known to be CHARISMATIC and GREGARIOUS. when theyâre missing home, i heard MORNING RUNS & THE SMELL OF OLD BOOKS can always cheer them up. âˇ
statistics:Â
full name: michael luca valeska / nicknames: mickey / birthday: november 12th / sexuality: bisexual / birthplace: boston, massachusetts / spoken languages: english & italian / hogwarts house: gryffindor
some tidbits of info:
so ya garbage boi is a bostonian through and through ,, born and raised there for nearly all his life and he doesnât mind bc it was pretty chill of a place, loved the historical aspect of the city and there was usually almost always something to do ,, def still has an accent but only becomes more pronounced when heâs angry or passionately speaking then
he was always a hyperactive type of child which tbh made his parents nearly rip their hair out since they were a v proper and high society kind of family ?? his dad ( franklin ) was a cardiovascular surgeon who made that coin and married his college sweetheart ( or u know ,. as they tell mickey ) after graduation where she(valentina ) went on to fashion design and she has her own line thatâs gaining traction in the fashion world
for as much as mickey deals with his parents nagging ,, he absolutely adores his mom ?? just a v petite and tiny italian woman who immigrated to america when she was in high school and immediately caught the eye of mickeyâs dad and it was a whirlwind romance that was kinda more of a fling but then valentina became pregnant with mickeyâs older brother so then he had to put a ring on it
so mickey is v fluent in italian bc his mom speaks it around the house raised him on it as a second language and for as much as he rags on his family sometimes and in his comedy skits, he would 10/10 die for his mom and sheâs v soft for him as well and lowkey her fave son fjdslkjd but donât tell the other valeska siblings
absolutely hates the name michael and v much prefers the nickname of mickey so naturally his dad just calls him michael all the time dnSLJKf mainly reserved for when he fucks up but also thatâs just his dad so pls spare his heart and just call him mickey
but yeah mickey always had pent of energy that he released in creative formats like drawing and reading or just u know ,, running around which helped when he did track and soccer in high school and was actually p good at it ??
which kind of made him popular and he thrived off the attention ?? but was also the class clown of his grade and genuinely just loved making people happy and laugh ,, doesnât like it when ppl donât like him bc it just gives him anxiety that someone he made someone doesnât like him jfdsk def a people pleaser so he tends not to read any reviews written about his comedy skits at the show lounge
mickey did above average when he was in school and def got good grades but he never really knew what he wanted to do with his life and bc his older brother followed in his dadâs footsteps of med school mickey was super !!!on edge about life and just having numerous existential crises a week so 0/10 not a fun time
his dad was really pitching for mickey to follow in his footsteps and his brotherâs and mickey was like lmAO responsibility in choosing and shaping my future for years to come ?? no thx ,, bUT bc he is a people pleaser ya boi got accepted in the fam alma mater of harvard .. donât get me wrong mickey had nice grades but his last name and family history of harvard grads kinda solidified his spot there so mickey went with crossed fingers and high level anxiety into his bachelorâs degree for biochem
as u can tell since um .. heâs on the cruise ship things didnât go that well fjhsdkj thOUGH ya boi did secure the degree in biochem running on caffeine, anxiety and the determination of elle woods ( mainly to make his mom proud ) and then the idea of med school freaked him out and he told his parents he was taking a year off just to rejuvenate himself bc lmao college sucks yâall
mickeyâs mom ( ever the angel that she is ) was v understanding and just let mickey work at her design studio for some modeling of her mens collection and deal with some interning responsibilities that he was chill with bc he got paid and it wasnât all that hard ,, his dad was not as happy and just has a perpetual frown whenever heâs around mickey bc he think mickey is just slacking off since his older brother is dealing with med school just fine
he took up improv classes just bc he loved making ppl laugh and figured it would be a good way to fill up his time and started doing some stand up without telling his dad kdjfslfk so when his year was running dry he kind of just impulsively looked into horizon and sent in his resume for a comedian position
bc iâm trash his humor is essentially john mulaney ( example HERE ,, mainly bc this skit is my fave #dontjudgeme ) and just v self deprecating and humorous retellings of life stories and smart klfdgajfk ,, he has n*ce delivery which he has his improv classes to thank
soOOO his dad is v pissed while his mom is supporting him since he told her before he left djflsk so heâs been on horizon for a year and a half and loving it ?? doesnât really know when heâll leave but who knows
def v charismatic and loves talking to people and meeting new ppl ,, can be a bit of a Hoe so donât judge him he means well ok !! will stay in the morning and bring breakfast bc he may be a Masshole but he ainât an asshole ,, def the saying of âhere for a good time not a long timeâ
bc i suck at timelines and whatnot , mickey dipped off the boat for a bit after meeting his now bf fox where they lived together and settled down and heâs gross and in love and sappy so we out here and bc fox came back to the ship so mickey decided why nOT so heâs here being a garbage bin comedian again asfjdk
