If you need some fresh air, step out onto the Merlin's Pride promenade deck. Don't worry about the cold because entire deck has several charms on it and the surrounding area at a nice, comfortable temperature. How else did you think the ship managed to plow its way across the frozen lake?
The deck is open and spacious, allowing plenty of room for guests to walk around without feeling crowded. There are also several spaces set apart with comfy outdoor sofas to sit and chat with your friends and/or your date and admire the views of the moon and stars reflecting on the lake. If stargazing is your thing, there are also quite a few outdoor lounge chairs to recline in, look up at the stars, and relax.
While, on the exterior, he'd say that he was here to have a good time and chaperone for the students should they need it, on the inside, he still had business to attend to. That business had one name written across it in bold, red ink to highlight ultimate priority. He just needed to find a Miss Kaysha Stewart for it.
Looking sharp and dashing in his suit, Duncan stepped out onto the deck of the ship. The word spacious came to mind, giving him the indication that this was going to be a good spot for a bit of a private talk, if you caught his drift. Not that he minded anyone overhearing - because he was very good with his words - but the situation called for fewer people to interrupt.
There wasn't a need to worry, however. Not when there were only a few students dotted here and there. But no Kaysha? Huh. Duncan changed course and went to stand right near the edge of the deck. Elbows rested on the railings and eyes looking into the distance and, if he took a sniff, the salty scent of the body of water below.
Gillyweed water in hand, The Potions Mistress headed outside to the deck. She had spent enough time in inside in the ballroom, keeping a eye out for trouble makers and students sneaking of with their dates. Ciara needed a breath of fresh air. Even though it was cold out on the deck. It was better than the warmer climate of the ballroom.
Breathe....
There that was much better. Less people, less crowded. Just Aiden and his date the Champion from Ravenclaw. Cassie Right? She give them a wave and smile. Ciara really should be getting the grip of her students names by now. But there were so many of them and with Ilvermorny visitors there were even more students around, which most of the ones from Ilvermorny she knew their names because she
A stroll on the deck was just what she needed. She waved as she passed the two first year boys (Jace and Kyle) Taking a sip of her gillyweed water she walked over to the railing and looked out of the lake. The sky was clear and the reflection of the sky on the lake was breath taking. She didn't realize that she was standing a few feet away from Duncan Williams, she gave him a small nod. Walking farther along the side of the ship.

Speechless was the word of the night for Lucy, as ironic as that was. First, her date literally took her breath away. Then the ship itself. Lucy never thought she'd see firsthand something so elegant - or expensive - in her life. It was beautiful and must cost millions of...Galleons. And they were just letting a bunch of teenagers run wild on it. Amazing.
She wanted to explore it all and take it all in. After wandering through the ballroom and dining room, Lucy pulled Layla by the hand and onto the deck. Another thing that made her speechless: the charms used to make sure she wasn't freezing.
Everything was so magical. Everything was so beautiful.
Wordlessly, she took it all in.

Layla was used to a scene like this back home. The fancy-shamancy scene. She didn't gloat about it; hardly even mentioned it. Her family's wealth was something Layla never wanted to be known for. But she sadly kind of was now. I mean, look at the dress she was wearing tonight. She knew it was expensive, but her mom got it for her anyway. Including dresses for Dana and Lucy too. Layla's mom didn't care about the prices; they were going to be sent back anyway. Following Lucy onto the deck, the raven-haired girl smiled to herself and looked around.
Whoa, talk about a view.
"This is pretty cool, isn't it?" she asked her friend, who was possibly still in a trance about it.

So Harriet was spending most of the night trying to avoid her mother. Whilst Hattie loved and adored her mom, she just didn't want to see her when she was at school. She did not her to embarrass her. So she was trying to avoid her. It was working out pretty well so far, although she knew she would need to see her Mom eventually. Though she hoped it would be at the end of the night , and she could just say goodbye and run off back into the castle.
"It's pretty out here...." Hattie murmured, turning to Luca as they stepped out onto the promenade deck. She looked around with a smile. It was pretty great out here. The board of Governors had really gone to town with it all.

Made him wonder the criteria that magic hat of theirs actually used when placing them.
Being raised the gentleman he was, Aiden climbed up all the way to the Tower to escort his date back down to the large boat.
It was a hella long climb, he would admit that but he did not mind entirely. It gave him another chance to have a look at the castle. Most days he stayed out by the beetle watching his schoolmates carry on with whatever they were up to. It was not often that he decided the castle was where he needed to be.
"Have I told you that you look lovely in that dress?" He asked, walking alongside her as they got onto the deck. He probably had, twice, but it was the nerves. Branching out was not his typical style and he knew it was only a matter of time before he ruined it.
If there was one thing Cassie hadn’t expecting about the cruise event was actually having a date for it. But it had happened all the same. She had been approached one day by Aiden, one of the visiting Ivermorny students and formerly fellow competitors, and had found herself saying yes. Perhaps it would make the evening a tad more welcoming then just her wandering amongst the various groups of friends. Not that it didn’t mean she wasn’t nervous about the situation. It wasn’t like she had much of any experience with a date so she was going to have to play it by ear.
So far it was all good. The Pudwudgie, she admitted she had looked into his house, had been a real gentleman in insisting on coming to get her at her common room despite the long climb. At least in the walk back down from Ravenclaw Tower the fifth year had picked up at she wasn’t the only one of the two of them that was nervous. It actually helped to not be alone in that feeling. Might make things go a bit more smoothly as they would be two peas in a pod and understand each other’s nerves.
Cass smiled at the compliment given as they arrived aboard ship and the exterior deck. “Yes…but it’s not a bad thing to know,” she assured him. It was sweet...really it was. Even if the first time he had said it had caused a blush to her cheeks. Which she had returned his handsomeness in kind. "Shall we wander outside for a bit or check out inside..." she mused absently as she took in the scene she was greeted with.

Talk about the view!
It reminded her of her first year, when she first saw the castle...and was rendered just as speechless as she was now. She couldn't shake the grin off her face either.
She squeezed Layla's hand. "Yeah! Definitely beats studying." Which had consumed the fifth year's life. But tonight marked the beginning of her study break for the whole holidays! And it was worth it.
Also, that wasn't true. Lucy was still going to study. At least a little.

Luca was unaware to the avoiding, as he himself had taken a casual glance around and had good intentions of saying hello if they came across Mrs. Paton- Vanessa, Vannie? Hattie's mum. He had been told to stop calling her Mrs., and.. also, 'Hattie's mum', which wasn't much better than 'Hey you', he guessed, but with every interaction he was left trying not to stammer or call her the wrong thing. Who knew being a boyfriend was so hard? Never mind to a Paton girl, and yes, that made all the difference.
He wouldn't have traded the experience for a thing, either, for the record. Blue-green eyes took in their surroundings as he followed, faithfully, letting her take him wherever she like by the hand. "Very nice. Way nicer, and calmer, than the ride to Durmstrang." Luca half-smiled, "Have I told you yet how beautiful you are?"

Well, this was a bit more boring than she thought it was going to be. Not that she was expecting to be a blast for the chaperones, but she was hoping to at least maybe get a hug from her two children, which she had yet to see either of them. Noticing more students coming onto the deck she wasn't surprised. It was getting to be dusk so the stars would be out soon.
Noticing some other adults coming out she smiled and greeted both of them. "Good evening. I hope you are both having a good time. " She wanted the professors to enjoy it as much as the children. They did work hard. "I'm Gabriella Blaze one of the board members." She knew that the potions mistress would know, but didn't know if the American professor would. "The students seem to be gathering more now." It had just been empty only moments ago and now the crowd was forming.

"Shall we wander outside for a bit or check out inside..." she mused absently as she took in the scene she was greeted with.
As it turned out, he had already given the compliment. Aiden nodded, while he nervously cleared his throat and adjusted his tie. There was nothing he could do about the warmth that spread across his cheek except try his best to not embarrass himself much more for the remainder of the evening. Shouldn't be too difficult so long as he did not say too much, but that would be a problem in and of itself.
People were meant to talk to each other while out on a date. While it would be perfectly in line with his behavior to spend the evening quietly observing the others present, he was not sure it would allow his date to have a very good time.
"We can walk around out here for a little longer. I don't mind." Crowds made him .....anxious and anxious was no way to be on a date. "Unless you would like to head in. I heard someone just now mentioning a ballroom. I don't know if you might be into that sort of thing." The crisp air out here on the deck was nice, but crowds aside, he would not complain when they did make their way into warmer temperature later.
Unfortunately, he was a boy of few words, even fewer when he hardly knew the person, so he did not have much to add after that point. Here come the nerves.

"It probably would've been better had there been floating lanterns outside," Or was that a bit too much? Or maybe that was just her style? And telling by the outfits she pretty much wore each they; it was expensive. Letting go of Lucy's hand, Layla sat down and continued enjoying the view. For some reason, it reminded her of home. She began missing it more and more as the second went by but wasn't going to tell anyone about it.
Tonight was about having a good time. While Lucy stood where she was, Layla tok out a piece of paper from her clutch and wrote down a simple note. She'd somehow hod to get it into a certain someone's pocket later on in the night.

A few dances later, Kay decided that she would like to get away to admire the night sky Not to mention she wanted to be alone or at least have a chat with someone or two. Time by herself was something that she loved not because she was lonely but because she liked the quiet at times. This was one of those times.
Stepping on the Deck, she gazed upwards. Blue eyes met lots of stars; lots of them. It was a stargazer's perfect night but a stargazer she was not. Instead, Kay drew her attention for the moment to the occupants of the Deck. Everyone was recognised, of course, and she smiled at all whom she locked eyes with.
There were two persons whom she made her way to, however. "Good evening, Duncan, Gabriella. This is quite the event, isn't it?'' Meaning she was enjoying herself.

She was a little bummed Layla took her hand back, but used the opportunity to twirl as she continued to stargaze. She was enjoying it all just as it was.

It was her companion’s turn to blush it seemed and Cassie had to stop herself from chuckling in amusement in fear it would make him feel worse. Not to mention make things more awkward between them which would ruin the evening before it really began. So she would keep her amusement to herself in favor of not alienating Aiden…be a proper host to the visiting student or students.
“Exploring out here it is then,” the Ravenclaw chose for now given the Pukwudgie expressed he didn’t mind. “For now,” she added, resuming her movements so they could continue to walk. Or perhaps stroll. As for the ballroom… “Maybe later. It’s nice night to just rush indoors.” Clear and warm despite the wintery atmosphere, no doubt magicked for their enjoyment this evening just like in class. And surely it would be a bit noisier and crowded within anyway. Here they had the occasional other partygoers and the stars to hang around with.
Cass moved over to the railing at one point, lightly resting her hands upon the top rung as she starred out. “So…you’ve met my home during the winter…what’s yours like?” she asked curiously, trying to be polite and socialize with her companion. They hadn’t spoken all that much upon meeting and the asking so maybe an icebreaker was in order. She kept her gaze away to allow the privacy to answer how he liked without her staring at him. "If you don't mind me asking of course."

Xavieria was far too interested in everything to stay in one place for very long. She had a strong sense of curiosity and had decided that she simply couldn't find her favorite place to hang out until she had tried them all. She took a turn around the deck, observing, until she found a comfortable spot to stop. Xavvie smoothed her skirt carefully as she perched on one of the chairs, head tilted up to look at the stars, it was definitely a perfect night to be outside, that was for sure. Especially since she was nice and comfortable on the boat.
Grinning, Xavvie unwrapped a cupcake she had picked up on her way through the salon, she was definitely going back there soon for a taste of all the things she'd seen, but first she was going to enjoy her cupcake and make a list of things to remember to tell her mama when she got home.

"If you don't mind me asking of course."
He could not agree more, even if the reasons they had for staying out here a little longer might have been different. "For now." He agreed before moving over to the railing by her and leaning against it too. He looked down at the water below, mildly curious about what might lie down there.
Aiden chuckled at her question, happy for something to break the metaphoric ice that typically engulfed him around those he was not close to. "Warmer than this, I can tell you that." He had tested it for himself the other day, braving the grounds with nothing but a jacket. Not a warming charm in sight. "Snow, like you have here. I guess, in the end...cold." Like he imagined winters in most places would be--barring places that did not truly have winter despite the months being typical winter months.
"I am actually surprised your lake has not frozen over." Looking down at the water that sapped against the boat. "Does it usually?" It would only get colder for the next couple months and he would not have minded some ice skating.
"I don't think I ever asked, how the challenge was for you?" He knew she had been eliminated but from what he had heard, everyone had challenges that differed slightly. He had never heard how hers had gone. Would she consider it too forward? An act of rubbing salt in a wound? He could change the subject if she minded.

Whilst Hattie knew it wouldn't be the end of the world if she ran into her mother, she still didn't really want it to happen. She didn't need her mother to embarrass her. Hopefully Vannie would stay away. She hoped anyway. But for nwo she was just going to enjoy the time with her Luca. It was nice to get dressed up, and he looked really pretty tonight. Though she didn't think he would want her to call him pretty. It wasn't very manly after all.
She looked up, smiling as he spoke. "I'm glad I haven't had to experience that" And she was glad she wouldn't have to. Who had ever come up with the idea of having to travel to school on a boat? It seemed so stupid. She smiled though, at his next words. "Thank you" She replied, a genuine smile on her lips. "You look very handsome too"

Layla looked at Lucy and smiled. "Stars do make things more romantic," Getting up, she stood next to Lucy again and looked at the view. Leaning carefully on the railing, the dark haired girl looked down at the water; wondering if the sea creatures would pop up and say hello. "Should we have our first dance out here? We can hear the music from the inside," Because this was romantic, but maybe a bit too much? She had hoped Lucy hadn't taken it that way.

This was her first time being on a cruise, even though the ship was only cruising around the Hogwarts lake. So far she enjoyed it, it was nice and quite fun. Although Ava kind of hoped that the party should've been more... alive, that's a proper word for her opinion.
The Gryffindor decided wandering around the ship. She had no idea where Phillip was, probably still at the dining area enjoying the dessert. Maybe she should try looking for him there, but somehow she ended up at the deck. Ah well, staying here for a moment wouldn't be bad, right? The boyfriend would be proactive looking for her so she probably should wait here, enjoying the scenery.

The scent of the waters below weren't enough to distract him from the sounds of shoes hitting the deck that his ears were picking up. He felt someone being near him before he actually saw them but when he did finally tear his eyes away from the sight ahead of him, it was only to see his competition. Or the woman he'd taken over.
It looked like being in Britain hadn't made Ciara grow an unnecessary need to be polite and sweet. Good to know. Despite his feelings towards her - she was competition, as far as he was concerned - he returned the nod and gave her somewhat of a smile. Because Mama hadn't raised him in a jungle.
If he thought things couldn't possibly get more surprizing, he was very much mistaken. It wasn't long before he was joined by someone else, but not the person he was after. Still, Duncan regarded this Gabriella woman - someone on the Board of Governors - and figured that he should, at the very least, be polite. Someone in a higher position of power might prove to be somewhat useful. "Nice to meet you, Gabriella. I'm Duncan Wiliams, Ilvermorny's Potions Master." His smile might have been a polite one but there was no mistaking the vague sense of smugness that was present there. "They do. Excellent job on this event, by the way. Everything looks exquisite." Accept the compliment, it wasn't often that the man gave those out.
Ah. Kaysha.
Duncan made sure that the smile was still displayed on his face at the sight of the Muggle Studies professor. "Good evening, Kaysha. It really is. I have to say, I'm impressed." He paused, making an effort to glance between each woman near him and making it obvious that he was doing so. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say that my drink was spiked with Felix Felicis. How else could I find myself surrounded by three very gorgeous women in one night?" Cheesy, though it was, he was hoping that it would work. If not, maybe his smile would do it.

Xavvie smoothed her skirt carefully as she perched on one of the chairs, head tilted up to look at the stars, it was definitely a perfect night to be outside, that was for sure. Especially since she was nice and comfortable on the boat.
Grinning, Xavvie unwrapped a cupcake she had picked up on her way through the salon, she was definitely going back there soon for a taste of all the things she'd seen, but first she was going to enjoy her cupcake and make a list of things to remember to tell her mama when she got home.
Slate excused himself from watching couples snog dance on the dance floor and made his way toward the door. He grabbed a drink on the way out and walked the deck.
As he walked, his eyes fell on a fellow housemate. She was alone. Hm. He smiled and made his way over to her. "Having fun?" Because it would be nice to know someone was. He was so far just really confused as to what he should be doing.

The Gryffindor decided wandering around the ship. She had no idea where Phillip was, probably still at the dining area enjoying the dessert. Maybe she should try looking for him there, but somehow she ended up at the deck. Ah well, staying here for a moment wouldn't be bad, right? The boyfriend would be proactive looking for her so she probably should wait here, enjoying the scenery.
Noelle was venturing around the boat. Her mind going a mile a minute. For some reason, she had the oddest sensation that she'd seen Noah. but that couldn't possibly be true because Noah was in Hawaii. It didn't make sense. She'd seen him a couple weeks ago in fact. He was in London... but he was headed back to Hawaii. It was just odd.
Brushing off Noah thoughts, she headed for the deck. She had her heels on and was trying not to slip. Also these things were insanely uncomfortable. How did people walk in them for long periods of time? She'd been dancing in them though... plus not being used to heels.. it probably wasn't a good combination.
Seeing a familiar face, Noelle went over to her wifey and gently hip bumped her. "Hey you. What are you doing out here?"

Lots of people didn't like to be alone, but Xavvie didn't mind it at all. Most especially, she liked having the time to observe her surroundings. That didn't mean, however, that she didn't like having company, so when someone turned up beside her, she grinned happily. "Loads, really." Maybe it didn't look it, but sure was. "Just taking a break to look at the stars and the water. It's so nice out here."
Especially since the temperature was regulated so it wasn't chilly and she didn't need to cover up her pretty outfit.

Perhaps the Professors or whoever was behind this cruise had charmed the deck area because Ava did not feel chilly at all even though with this dress and the winter. It was a lovely night, by the way. Why she didn't really notice that? Probably the Gryffindor should find the boyfriend and drag him to be here, spending the night with him just having their usual chat and gazed at the sky.
For a moment when someone bumped into her hip, she already knew that it was Noelle Summers because nobody greeted her by hip bumping. "Enjoying the night." She simply answered. "Are you having fun here?"

She was pretty sure she was way past even fashionably late at this point, and as she glanced across the deck she wondered whether it had been the right decision to try and make the second half of the event at all. It was never going to be the same with her date taken ill last minute, and she was already regretting not staying upstairs with Astrea as she slept off whatever had feel her feel so crummy.
Tonight really hadn't turned out to plan.
As a result of her last minute change of plans, Sam's hair had been rather hastily thrown up, although at least it'd had the decency to curl nicely today. Her only make up was the barest flick of mascara and a swipe of lip gloss. Dora would probably have things to say about that, although Sam couldn't say she was convinced the Gryffindor was coming. Her bestie would probably have more things to say about Sam's choice of footwear, however. Flats had won out under the long skirt of her gown. She was already late; no need for tottering to make the trip onboard any longer.
Soooo...what to do now she was here? Go survey the food maybe? She doubted many, er, anyone, would ask her to dance.
