[party post] come sail away with me

You've come through a door, and you are on a boat. Specifically, you're on a cruise ship in the middle of some giant body of water. You've come through the door behind you which is attached to nothing and may now be locked. It's relatively empty as giant as it appears to be. The only other passengers that are here appear to also have come through the door for the most part and it is not nearly enough to fill up this entire cruise ship.

Also, who knows who the hell is driving this thing since all of the employees appear to be either ghosts or holograms...

Is this your first time here or your hundredth time here? Do you want a drink or a dip in the pool? Is it day or night? Do you stumble on your room or some other situation either fun or painful within its many rooms, shops, and facilities? Do you run into someone you know or a complete stranger?

The possibilities are unlimited!

Bonnie doesn't understand Caroline's reaction. She just saw her after all, but given this is a cruise ship that she was magically transported to, she guesses she can't make any assumptions about this place. Maybe it really is a very weird dream for all she knows. She's going to go with that for right now as she walks over to Caroline too, wrapping her arms around her because she seems like she could use it. And if this is all really real, she could kinda use it too.

"Hey, it is actually you... or a dream version of you. Didn't expect to see anyone I knew on the creepy boat to nowhere, but it's really good to see you. You okay?"

Then Bonnie is hugging her and Caroline doesn't know what her emotions are doing. It's bad enough that she's a vampire and what for most people is a five for her is an eleven, a reunion with a long lost best friend is enough to bump her up to twenty.

She hugs Bonnie on instinct, pulling her tighter against her, unable to tell if she's real or not. There's a part of her brain that's still telling her it can't be, but she's seen stranger things happen. "What?" she blinks, startled out of her thoughts by the question and a wide smile crosses her face. "Yeah. I'm great. I'm awesome."

Officially the best birthday present ever.

Bonnie hugs her as tightly as she can. She doesn't know why they're here, but if this is Caroline's reaction at seeing her, Bonnie is really happy to be here with her. She smiles at her though there is concern still in her eyes as they pull back enough to look at each other.

"Really? We've been kidnapped by some weird cruise ship, and you're awesome?" She smiles though, because she really is starting to think this is a dream. "You look seriously hot by the way."

She's just now noticing the outfit, and she approves.

"So long as it's a mysterious cruise ship that's not trying to kill us, I think we can handle it." Also, there's Bonnie, why wouldn't she be awesome? Especially when she was complimenting her on her attire.

"Thank you. We were going to go out for my birthday, but ... obviously the night has been hijacked." Which, whatever. "All I need is booze and cute boys and the night can totally proceed as planned."

Because Caroline is nothing if not (somewhat) easy to please. Also, those not-quite-lies were a little too easy, but telling her best friend she's currently dead is not on the agenda for the evening, no matter how good the death was. They can talk timeline shenanigans when they're not celebrating the awesome that is Caroline.

Bonnie smirks or tries to, but it ends up being more of an amused smile. Caroline always has that effect on her, and she has no idea the differences and time that exist between them. She's still half convinced this is some weird dream which is all the more reason to enjoy and relax before reality sets back in.

"Wait, it's your birthday? Happy Birthday! Wow." This is one weird dream, but she laughs anyway ignoring the weirdness (it's a dream after all), linking her arm with Caroline's, and tugging her deeper into the ship. "C'mon, it's a cruise ship. Booze is sort of a staple. The cute boys might take more work, but we'll see what we can find."

They can celebrate this birthday together in the dream, and it turns out there is a place just for that. It is called The Birthday Place. It's one of the stores in a floor of the cruise ship, and the narration is creating this as she goes so it'll be fun.

Weird dreams are more than welcome as far as Caroline is concerned. Provided it's not some older vampire messing around with her dreams in which case, she was going to probably kill something when she woke up. Other than that, if this is a dream where her subconscious wants her and Bonnie stuck on a cruise ship for some reason?

Well, no one ever said Caroline's brain made sense.

She follows Bonnie around until they manage to find the Birthday Place, and Caroline stares up at the sign for a moment. "That's ... convenient." She pauses before she lets herself be pulled inside. "Do places like this show up often?"

"I have no idea. I only just got here myself," Bonnie says, and if this weren't a dream, she might be more suspicious, but it is definitely a dream. This is what she has convinced herself. She's very recently had to believe in vampires and witches and the fact that she is a witch, and mysterious cruise ships that can kidnap you? It might be going a step beyond what she is capable of wrapping her head around just yet.

Inside of the birthday place, there is a seemingly empty room with white walls and a dull carpet, which doesn't look all that celebrator-y which is why Bonnie is making a frown-y face until she notices the panel on the side. "Look at that."

It is a panel in wood with several buttons.

PRESS BUTTON FOR: 1) Children's Birthday 2) Drunk Birthday 3) Sexy Birthday 4) Themed Birthday 5) Pool Party 6) Dance Party

Bonnie shrugs a bit and then presses down on the Drunk Birthday button. It's a dream. The worst that will happen is she wakes up abruptly, right? And then the lights go out. There's a whirring noise, sounds like construction work

And then the lights go on again immediately. The room now looks like a bar. There's a jukebox, a pool table, darts board, low lighting, and of course, there's alcohol (a lot of alcohol) lined up behind the bar to be chosen from. "...wow."

As the party room comes to life in front of her, she can't help but be curious. Being a vampire, apparently, has killed a lot of her self preservation instinct. All the same, she's fairly certain that this isn't going to kill her. There may be an idle thought about what may happen if she hits both buttons at the same time, but for now, she'll settle with a "Drunk Birthday."

"Tell me about it," she says with a nod, before starting to shed her jacket and make her way inside. "I wonder if the jukebox works."

Caroline, this is beautiful curiosity indeed.

The jukebox does in fact work very well, and there are coins stacked on the tables near it. It has the birthday girl's favorite music in it as well as one entire page of different variations on the song "Happy Birthday".

"I'll fix us some drinks, and then after we're drunk enough we can try more buttons," Bonnie says with a tiny smirk. "It's too bad Elena isn't here... even if this is a dream." The three of them should get to celebrate the day, celebrate Caroline together.

"Yeah, it is." Caroline frowns as she makes her way over to the jukebox and starts flipping through the pages of songs. "It doesn't feel the same without her."

Just like it didn't feel the same without Bonnie. The three of them, together again? It would have been perfect.

She pages through the songs some more, before she settles on an old rock song with a number of high guitar riffs, and she makes her back to the bar, bobbing her head in time to the music. "The jukebox is awesome though."

"And who says I'm not here?"

Talk about perfect timing. This isn't Elena's first rodeo where ghost cruises are concerned. The first time was alarming, but the next few times ended up being something of a respite, sometimes. It's not so bad if you learn to be patient. Eventually, the door always sends you back. And this time Elena was thrust through the revolving door, she heard two very familiar voices.

She lifts up a champagne bottle she found at the bar in their direction.

Well? She better get hugs now.

Bonnie is really starting to think this is the best dream. It seems like whenever they want something, they stumble on it. They want a way to celebrate Caroline's birthday? They literally stumble on a venue for birthdays with buttons for options. They lament about how Elena is not here to celebrate the day with them? Elena shows. She should probably be more suspicious, but she's still innocent enough and new to the supernatural that she's just gonna enjoy.

"Elena!" She grins, glancing over at Caroline and then heading to Elena's side, wrapping her arms around her in a tight hug. "It's Caroline's birthday!"

The three of them should always celebrate birthdays together. Nothing else makes sense.

Caroline perks up at the sound of Elena's voice and she lets out a bit of a cheer herself, making her way over to her friend. But instead of waiting her turn, she just wraps her arms around both of them. The three of them together is something she hasn't had in so long, and the fact that they're all together again means a lot.

Happy birthday to her.

"And you made it. If you hadn't I would have probably been pissed."

Icon has never been more relevant.

It isn't that Elena hadn't seen Caroline and Bonnie just a short while ago, but she has found herself in this cruise ship enough times to understand they aren't necessarily the same versions. Their reactions alone confirm it somewhat, and a bittersweet fondness wraps around her as she, in turn, wraps her arms around the both of them to hold them tightly. Regardless of different timelines and universes and years, the fact all three of them love each other does not change.

"And we wouldn't want that, Caroline," Elena says with a wry smile as she pulls back. The boat does seem to be on their side today, as Elena stumbled on a few things that will be important for the celebration. Case in point: she lifts up a bag, before she rummages through it to find the tiara she'd located only moments before, and places it atop Caroline's head.

It hasn't been long at all since Bonnie saw Elena and Caroline, but something about a magic cruise ship (in her dreams, because this is totally in her dreams) and Caroline's birthday makes seeing them that much bigger of a deal. Bonnie only pulls back when the other two do, and she is smiling but the smile slips into a grin when she sees what Elena has on her.

"Perfect," she says, reaching up to help make sure none of her hair gets caught in it so she can have her fantastic hair and tiara at the same time. She is still grinning as she settles back on the heels of her shoes, heading over to the bar to line up shots for them because obviously, this means a toast, okay? "We found the 'Birthday Place', Elena. There are buttons, lots of buttons. We pressed the drunk one."

For now at least.

"I personally vote for the sexy one next." She's just sayin'. She pulls away from the hug and grabs one the bottles off the counter and making her way to one of the tables. "It definitely seems the most promising."

After drunk birthday, of course.

"Besides, I could use some abs in my life."

"The birthday girl's orders," Elena says with an amused shrug, glancing over at Bonnie with fond amusement as the other girl lines up shots for them.

Prepare, ladies.

Elena will be pushing that sexy button now, and a certain familiar song begins to play, as though signaling something very, very sexy is about to happen.

The narration is not sorry.

"Oh, God," Bonnie says, which is her reaction to that song being played.

She'll just slowly move over toward the other girls with that shot glass in hand still, because suddenly the whole room goes dark, and when it comes back to light, there's that song still playing. Suddenly they're in a strip club.

And... now holograms will start dancing, removing their clothes (some are robots), but all their abs and all their clothing removal looks very, very real and incredibly sexy even if none of them are actually real.

NO REAL DUDES HERE, but they're all pretty damn gorgeous to look at.

HEY, CAROLINE IS NOT COMPLAINING.

In fact, she looks super pleased with the situation. She may wish they were a little more fleshy, but she can take in the incredibly sexy abs from here just fine. She leans back in her chair with her drink, a wide grin on her face.

"Now we're talking!"

"Oh my god!"

Elena covers her mouth, barely stifling a laugh as one of the holograms begins to remove his clothes right in front of her, as though he's about to throw his shirt at them. One of them may just look like Ryan Gosling, a little bit.

Maybe watching all that Notebook with Caroline finally paid off.
