The Crown Princess - Monday [Ship/Princess Cays, Bahamas]

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

Early in the morning, the cruise director came over the loudspeaker announcing the port of the day and some on-boat activities of interest. Those paying attention would learn that from 9am until 5pm, the Crown Princess would be docked in the lovely Princess Cays, Bahamas where guests were welcome to participate in glass-bottom boat, snorkeling, or beach excursions for a portion of the day. Adults were encouraged toward the Sanctuary on the Sun Deck for a more private way to relax away from the teens.

"Weird? Why would you look weird?" Merlin asked, twisting to try and get his own back and looking... weird.

"Because humans aren't made to turn that way," Francine said with a giggle and a headshake, holding out her hand for the lotion. "Unless there's a Twister board involved."

She's young. She'll learn.

Merlin handed it over with a good humored smile. "And that would be...?"

"A game where a bunch of people end up in a big pile on top of a sheet," Francine explained. Possibly with ironic quotes around the verb in that sentence. "You have to spin a spinner and then put your hand or your foot where it tells you to, and eventually people fall over. You want me to, um. Do you?"

Blinking at her for a moment before the question registered, Merlin quickly turned. "Thank you! That sounds like a fun game." Fun in the same way that helping Arthur spar was.

"It depends where people's hands end up," Francine said dryly, filling her own with sunblock.

Merlin frowned for a moment and then it dawned on him. "Maybe we could try a different game?"

"One you don't need to be drunk or stuck in a pile of family members to survive? I'm all for that." She cautiously touched lotion-covered fingers to one of the more sunstruck areas on his back. "Whoa, that's hot."

Backmodder omg!

"Exactly," Merlin replied, inhaling sharply at the coolness of the lotion. "You're just lucky my normal past time isn't about here."sh

"What's that? Getting fried over an open pit?" As someone had pointed out yesterday, she could occasionally be twisted.

That got a short bark of laughter from Merlin before he managed to get it under control. "The stocks, actually."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine's natural blinkiness at that was exacerbated by the bright sunlight. "Stocks?"

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"The normal punishment for small things," Merlin replied cheerfully. "You know, with rotten food being thrown at you."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[thatsamilkshake]

Blinkityblinkityblinkity. "I thought that was just the punishment for bad standup comedians."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"...it's still done here?" Merlin peered back at her. "Don't tell Arthur that."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[thatsamilkshake]

"Well, there's no stocks. Just the audience throwing things instead of clapping."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"That almost sounds worse."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[thatsamilkshake]

"Worse than being stuck there while they throw things?"

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"At least then you know it's all in good fun," Merlin pointed out.

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

"You have a weird idea of fun," Francine decided. Yes, this coming from the person who just described Twister to him.

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"My idea of fun is perfectly normal," Merlin insisted with a grin. "You could always try showing me your games, you know."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[thatsamilkshake]

"Are you sure?" Francine teased him. "Most of them don't end with you covered in food. Except for a pie-eating contest maybe."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"We could always try a compromise between the two," Merlin suggested. "Throwing food at each other while trying one of your games."

Re: Beach Clamshell [2/23]

"Mental note: don't pick a video game." Not that she really played video games, but that was hardly the point here.

"Like that Wii?" Merlin was far too excited about that. "Emmett showed me how to play that."
