I’ve traveled all this way for something

WHO: YOU.
WHERE: Eden East's cruiseship
WHEN: Saturday February 15th, around 5 PM EST
WHAT: Registration in motion... among other things.
WARNINGS: None anticipated; let us know if this should be edited.


" The new frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises -- it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them. It appeals to their pride, not to their pocketbook -- it holds out the promise of more sacrifice instead of more security. But I tell you the new frontier is here, whether we seek it or not. "
( from jfk's speech "the new frontier," 7/15/1960. )


The sun hasn't set yet and the temperature hovers somewhere just below 70 degrees this evening; imPorts, both recently arrived and not, will have been escorted to this event so that they can meet each other, have a good time, and of course officially state their registration status. Or lack thereof. It's your decision, they emphasize, even though the unspoken "but" is always there.

It's an elaborate spread, certainly much more elegant than last time. Eden East herself, elegant in her backless champagne-colored dress, meets and greets each and every imPort as she flutters to and fro. She'll find you and chat for a few moments, shaking your hand and complimenting your dress. She'll know your name, and she'll have an entourage of aids and cameras following her wake. Captain Holiday, in contrast, maintains the energy of someone who feels out of place holding the Swear-In ceremony somewhere so extravagant. As imPorts arrive he tells them where to be for the ceremony part of the evening, but that they are free to enjoy themselves until then and after.

( Please state your character's official status -- REGISTERED or UNSETTLED -- in the subject header of your thread. Characters who are UNDECIDED may be contacted later in the week for their decision via their IC contact post. )

Probably not in this world, [Hans remarked, with a little frown.] None of the kingdoms from home are here.

[ Hank crossed his arms and brought a hand to his chin. ] Another world? That's not entirely surprising given what technology they brought us here in... Does your world have a name? It might be useful to collect some data on the people who has been brought in here.

Well, my kingdom was called the Southern Isles-my fiancee's was called Arendelle. Is that what you mean?

[ Not quite, but Hank will take it. Rubbing his chin still, Hank contemplated. ] I see. The world you come from and the one that I come from doesn't seem too far fetched from each other. But I would put you a few centuries back. Monarchies aren't very popular in my world, but I'm going to guess it's safe to say that the opposite is true for yours?

That's right, [Hans admitted, with a nod.] Really, most of this [accompanied by a grand gesture to the room] is absolutely foreign to me.

You and me both. [ Hank smiled regardless. And considered his plain khakis and button up... ] But at least you look dressed for the occasion.

Only because I arrived in these, [said with a little smile, as he gestured towards his clothes.]
