The goat woman shakes her head again. "I'm going down with you, even if it means going down with the ship too."
Recovering from her wonder, the serving girl finally soaks in the severity of the situation. "I don't know, but I don't like it. I don't want to die, not now that I'm like this..."
(I'm taking this as a cue for your level 1, Haylie...)
The light intensifies and in a brilliant flash, Andy finds his body is instantly much taller. It's also much more...female. She is a deadly kind of beautiful, seemingly glowing with light and malevolence at the same time. Rather than Andy's clothes, she wears shining white leather in modest cuts and she will find a luminous sword in one hand. It's very light in her grip, balanced perfectly for her, yet she can tell it has a decent amount of weight to it. Oh yeah, and SHE shouldn't be a she. That also might come across Andy's mind.
Blinking with a hand over her eyes, Kimiko gasps and tears start to form. "Oh no. Not you too..."
The bartender blushes deeply and starts looking around shiftily. "I haven't told any secrets, I just have a hard time keeping certain feelings bottled up, so to say." With his newfound sense of mischief, Mike will notice her give him an appraising and approving glance before quickly returning to her scowl and schnapps.
Brianna has arrived at several life boats, most of which are pretty full. It seems almost all the passengers and crew have made good with their escapes from the rapidly sinking boat. Only two lifeboats remain, with room for about 20 people. There may be more on the other side, but these might fill up before she could find out.
Aunt Hilda goes blonde again, nonexistent wind returning for an encore. "No child, you must preserve life before seeking death. Such is the way of things." She returns to normal, shaking the cobwebs from her mind. "Guess I better get used to this..."
(Great job on the dramatic interaction there)
Bill almost runs past the arcade in his search for lingering passengers. He runs up to the girls and catches his breath. "What...you still...doin' here?" He swallows hard. "Come on...like this..." He picks up Hikaru in a fireman's carry*. "This way..." He waits for Nick at one of the doors.
*A fireman's carry is simple to carry out on unconscious persons and allows one to carry someone up to one's own weight.
As Felix takes pictures, one last watery, shiny drop finds it's way to him. It seems to hover in front of his face for a second, as if considering him. That is, if drops of water can consider things. Either way, after this pregnant pause, the drop stabs into his chest just as the others before it did to others before him.
The water creature smashes through the restaurant ceiling and grabs a couple people from there along with making some very large holes below decks. The rushing sound of water can be heard from the deck now and all aboard will feel a definite sinking sensation, like a slow elevator. As this happens, the buff girl cries out one last time. "Save yourself!" She expires in a spray of blood as the watery tentacle pulls something shiny from her chest. The look on what would be it's face is...satisfied.
(let me know if I left you out)
