SS. Anne: The Life Boat Hypothesis

[Adelaide McLisk]

Add tapped her foot against the side of the boat she stood in. It appeared sturdy enough, like it wouldn't sink given too much pressure. But then again, it really wasn't in the water just yet. Add had been lucky enough to find one of the life boats from the cruise ship that was at least facing upright, which let her climb inside and get a better look at it, but she hadn't quite been so lucky in finding one that she could easily lower into the water. Clearly they were situated so that passengers couldn't easily make off with them; you needed at least a few people to raise the boat and get it into the water. Maybe two, or, well, Add's math filled brain told her all too well that someone with super strength could probably toss it in without thinking about it.

Said math filled brain also informed Add that it was highly unlikely that someone with super strength would show up any time soon. There simply weren't enough of those kind running around, and apparently very few had actually joined the rest of the school on this ship. Add had really only joined because she thought it would force her to interact with more people; only so much room on a boat, after all.

Now though, now she was considering the life boats. Because she knew all too well that lack of lifeboats, or sufficiently solid lifeboats, was a cause for much ship death, and she didn't intend to be among the number. Add therefore had climbed into one and was now poking and prodding around, attempting to deduce whether or not these lifeboats were, indeed, as sound as they appeared.

Humming sweetly as she strolled around the deck of the ship Princess Tess couldn't help but be in a good mood, the sun was shining not a cloud in the sky and she would be meeting all kinds of new and wonderful people on the ship!

Doing a little twirl as she came around a corner she saw a most odd sight. She saw a women standing on in lifeboat on the deck of the ship, kicking the side and generally examining it. Tess similes in delight as she glides over to the lady. A new face meaning a new friend about to be made. even if she may be a little odd in her actions!

"Hello there! I don't believe we have met yet, My Name is Princess Della Contessa."

"It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance, err is there anything I can help you with?" she asked some what quizzically looking at the lady as she stood in the life boat.

Add kept moving about the lifeboat, only pausing for a moment to look up at the other girl. Probabilities swirled around the woman for a moment, seeming to flit in and out of existence. Then again, that sort of thing usually happened whenever Add lay her eyes on a mutant, and this ship was pretty well filled with those. As to the claim: "That strikes me as rather unlikely, given that there are only fifty or so monarchies left in the world and most of those would be unlikely to send a member of the royal family off to some strange country such as America, and then they would be even more likely to send said royal member onto a ship filled with dangerous mutants without a bodyguard," Add looked over the girl's shoulder, craning her neck for a bit to see if there were any bodyguards looming in the shadows. None in particular jumped out, so Add turned back to her survey of the lifeboat, nudging bits of it with her foot.

"I'm checking the lifeboats," she said, answering the next question, this time without looking up. The girl did have odd speech patterns, but who would insist on being a princess? And what was the likelihood of a princess running into someone a ship? Too many improbabilities there. "Most of the time whenever you hear of people dying from a ship going down, it's the lifeboats at fault. So I'm checking," she kept nudging them with her foot, before bending down to  get a better look.

"Oh my heavens" proclaimed Princess Tess as she clutched her chest, getting even closer to the other lady and the life boat, she bent down herself as if her Examining it may help the other girl find any flaws that hide within its design even though she had no idea what she was looking for. (OOC: which her powers will boost any action of someone trying to find a flaws that would save lives, so if there is a flaw to find Add would prob. find it) 

"Is there anything I can do to help? she asked with genuine concern. But if the worst happens, be at peace knowing the best of the royal navy will be here to save us." As she spoke she pointed out onto the horizon to a small dot in the endless blue vista. "You see that there? That is the British Royal  Navy they are following us to make sure nothing bad happens to me and well all of us in reality, so if we where to go down they would be here in no time." She said reassuring. "May I enquire as to your name fair lady as you have me at a disadvantage in knowing mine?" She asked sweetly as they looked over the life boat.
