Phantom Ship
In the South Atlantic Ocean lays a triangle rumored to take the known and make it unknown. Planes, ships, anything that ventures into this mysterious place are never heard from again. Thousands of missing people lost to its mysterious ways, no one understands why? No one has ever questioned the feared triangle, nor gone looking. Superstitions are funny that way, but the fear is real and a group of young college would-be scientists are about to find that out.
The boat was chartered, the equipment was loaded and six people and a captain were off. It took a lot of cash to convince someone to take them, but they were determined to find something, anything that would prove that superstitions were stupid. Something else had caused these things to vanish, they would find that something, and they would all be famous. Or so they thought..
Ooc: There is the introduction to the thread. I would like new comers to join as well as experienced writers. There are the 7 roles open. I will play the sea captain
I would like even numbers to make it easier. 3 gals and 3 guys please. Also the ‘evil entity’ will be played either by me or someone I pick. There are rules to engagement as well, just so everyone knows what exactly the “entity” can and can’t do. I would however like to cast the evil entity, so P.M. me please. (this is for the evil entity canidates)
No RULES! The Evil Entity can do as it pleases It's job: suck the souls from the bodies of those new arrivals until death.... So all can and will die eventually in this thread.
Boat Description: It is a large cruise liner ship from the early 1940’s. It sits in the middle of a large fog covered area, empty. Everyone has vanished, and the gangplank is down. There are lifeboats but the rigging is stuck, the equipment to lower it is rusted over and if dropped to the water below, it will break into pieces. (love a challenge) The ship is whole, just doesn’t work. From bow to stern, everything is eerily in place. Picture something like the modern day cruise ships for size. I don’t know boat jargen. lol
Remember the rules of etiquette, don’t control other’s characters, once you are on there is no way out, so if you leave, please kill off your character. P.M. the “evil entity” for a final scene (make’s it much better) Have fun, open for the 6 roles of scientists and William.
IC:
The fishing vessel was ready to depart. I had my own crew with me, two men and the six crazy college students. This was going to be one wild adventure. Oh I didn’t go along for the money, I went along for the adventure its self. At thirty-two years old I needed some. And venturing into the Bermuda Triangle was a definite way to get some.
I loved my baby, The Urchin, she was a bulky run down thing, but she stayed afloat and she was reliable to get us in and out of there. I didn’t care how long these kids wanted to stay, I wasn’t lingering past dark. I was superstitious, all sailors were. Was it a crime? The young man who led his friends out here thought so, but I paid him no mind. He kept giving me weird looks, shaking his head and talking to his group on the deck. His hands moving wildly in the air, the excitement on his face. I did hope that this trip proved a point and yet didn’t disappoint the poor guy either.
“We’re almost there.” I said over the PA system, causing a few to jump when my voice came out loud and clear over the large speakers above their heads. Grinning I waved and pointed just ahead. Into that fog was the Bermuda triangle. Slowing down the engines, I let the current pull us in. I couldn’t help the shiver that raced down my spine as I bent down and gazed into the foggy haze. I didn’t like this, but it was a do or die situation. And I did need the cash! Ok so I said I didn't but I did. *sheepish grinz*
Goose flesh rose across my arms as the white enveloped us, that creepy feeling one gets during a horror movie? I had it. Sighing heavily, I had to grow some balls (metaphorically speaking) and just get this over with.
A sudden clanking sound caught my attention, “Shit!” My engines were failing or something, I could feel the lag on the wheel. The boat shuddered visibly and the engines cut out. “Fucking great!” I picked up the phone and called down to the engine rooms.
“What’s up down there?”
“Sorry captain, something is wrong, I will get it fixed!” The voice of William, one of my team, urgently spoke into the phone. He didn’t want to come here, he had spoken harshly against it. But in the end he came, only because he was a loyal man and wouldn’t leave me alone out there.
“Alright Billy, get it working please.” I hung up the phone and turned, bumping into the young scientist.
“SHIT!” He scared about ten years off my life with his unannounced arrival!
“Yes?”
“What’s wrong with the ship?” He glared at me, probably thinking I did this on purpose to get out of his chartered trip.
“Don’t know, when I do, you’ll know.” I glared right back. He stood taller than I, but that didn’t matter. It was still my ship and my word was law here.
“Oh..” he flushed a little and backed out of the way, “ok.” He was at a loss as to what he should say to me.
“Ship ahead!” I heard one of the girls outside squeal in delight. “We’re saved! It’s a fuckin’ huge ass ship!” She waved her hands, trying to get the attention of the cruise liner. Since we weren’t going anywhere anytime soon, I wandered out on deck and tried to see the ship through the fog.
An audible gasp went up through the air, all staring wide eyed at the mossy sides of the cruise liner. “That ship isn’t moving, nor going anywhere anytime soon.” I muttered to the group. It looked to be older than time its self and it was indeed frozen in time, kind of. It wasn’t running, it wasn’t moving and I couldn’t see a single soul on deck.
“Well you wanted to see the triangle, there is part of it.” I mumbled in disgust. This did not look good, in fact the fear inside me was bubbling up more and more. All the superstitions were true! My eyes was scanning over the proof right before us.
“Why is the thing down?” The girl pointed to the stairs hanging down along side the ship.
“Perhaps whoever was stuck here left?” Another voice piped up.
“Or perhaps some spook is inviting us in?” Another guy chuckled out.
“Alright, let’s settle down.” My voice of reason was running, there was nothing to fear here. There was no reason to get edgy and scared. It was just a ship, only larger than my own.
“Captain?” I turned and William was standing there, holding something oily and black.
“A main pully went out, the teeth are for some reason chewed off?” He looked worried and I could understand why. Those things were compressed metal, steel and heated to withstand anything. They never broke like that, a belt would give before that would.
“Any spares?”
“None captain.”
“Alright.” I had to think. What were we going to do now?
“We could search that ship for the part and investigate it for our study?” One of the girls was speaking up for the first time since this happened. She sounded mature and reasonable as well.
“Guess that’s what we are going to do, we have no other choices right now.” I sighed heavily again and glanced over the group.
“Gather your things, we’ll search you, guys study.” Turning back to my ship, I had William put out the anchor while I shut down the power. No need to drain our batteries.
ooc: Let the spooky stuff and fun begin!
