((Thanks Elarinya. By the way this is the dress Margaret is wearing. http://www.fashionsoftheages.com/images ... rouge2.jpg but with out the head piece))

Margaret walked out onto the deck, the cool breeze brushed her skin. She noticed two women talking a few feet away. 'I wonder if they know what time dinner is.' She thought walking up to them with grace and pride. "Excusez-moi." They turned. "Faire vous savior quand dîner est prêt."

[That's a beautiful dress Mari!]

Lilliana turned her head sideways away from Emmeline at the voice of the approaching young woman. She was speaking French, a language Lilliana had never been able to master despite her hard tutoring. She had a hard time remembering Romani - the language of her people - as it was. Alas, languages had never been her forte.

"No français" Lilliana said shaking her head, trying to show that she did not understand nor speak French. She tried to search her brain for the right word, she figured she must have remembered something from her endless pointless French lessons.

"Ang...Anglais?" she asked the French girl, hoping she had used the right word for 'English'.

(no problem, Mari)

"It's nice to meet you, Will," said Darcy as he shook her hand. She grimaced and shook her head as she felt that lurching feeling in her stomach again. She laughed a little nervously. "This is my first time ever on a ship and my stomach does not seem to like it so much." She paused to take another sip of her beer. "Have you ever been on a ship before?"

Nate rose his eyebrows at the girl's formality. "You need not curtsy for me, Lacey," he said with a grin, "I'm just a simple man." He looked up and saw that her mother had walked off. He looked out into the ocean. "It's beautiful, isn't it? Just wait 'till you see the Statue of Liberty coming into view across the horizon. Have you ever been to America?"

Will chuckled at her and shook his head. "No... I've never been on a ship." He sighed and looked down to the ground. "I had to win my way on this ship." He bit his lip.

Lacey leaned against the railing next to him and smiled happily. "No... I've been in England all of my life. Hence the accent." She smirked and then laughed a little. "Pathetic, eh?" She looked back to him.

Margaret nodded, then in a French accent spoke. "I am sorry, I for get that not all people speak French. I was just wondering if you happened to know when dinner is? I have never been on a ship before." She smiled. She had grown up in the Moulin Rouge in France, so the idea of a ship was really new.

Lilliana smiled at the young woman. "There is absolutely no need to apologize my dear, I am just so very glad that we are able to understand eachother!" she reassured the French girl. "I have just been invited to join Emmeline's dinner party here" Lilliana said nodding towards the woman standing beside her "I do not know what time yet" she continued and streched out her hand, offering the girl to shake it "my name is Lilliana by the way, may I ask your name?"

((I changed the last name to something more French.))

"Nice to meet you Lilliana. I'm Margaret De Barbarac." She smiled as she said it and gave a graceful bow. "I come from France of course, where do you hail from?"

[That's a great name!]

"It is so nice to meet you Margaret" Lilliana said and did a small curtsey. "I come from Ireland, although I am hardly Irish. I was adopted you see, by the wealthiest couple in the whole of Ireland after my own family died in a terrible and tragic accident, or so I've been told. They were Gypsy, or Roma as we call it, and so am I. I am most proud of my heritage and who I am although most 1st class people tend to frown upon us. Alas, there is nothing I can do about that now, can I?" Lilliana said with a smile on her face and shrugged. She had never cared what other people thought of her.

"Why did you decide to leave France, my dear Margaret?" Lilliana asked the lovely young woman in front of her.

(Does anyone have any plot ideas? I mean aside from the obvious- ship hits an ice berg, ship sinks. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions.)

"Win?" asked Darcy, "How did you win your way onto the ship?" She had almost not mad it onto the ship herself. She had ran away from her home in Ireland as soon as she had heard of Titanic and spent her time working at a tavern in England as a maid to earn passage for when the ship set sail.

Nate shook his head. "Not at all," he said, "I wish I had been able to stay in one place my whole life." He paused, feeling a little sad. "You see, my parents died when I was a boy. My only remaining family lived here in England, so I had to leave my home in New York to go to them. It's good to go back home."

Will slowly nodded and folded his arms. "Yeah, I had to gamble against who was going to win a wrestling match." He smiled a little and looked down to his feet.

Lacey nodded and rested her hand on his arm. "I'm sorry..." She whispered and looked into his eyes, sadly.

[Hmm.... no not really but I'll have to think about that. I think it'd be cool if all of our characters met eachother one way or another, maybe not all together at once but at least sometime! Maybe we could have one of those 3rd Class Parties or something? I know that at least for my character, I'm going to introduce her to a male 3rd class passenger whom she'll befriend - I'll make that character later once the story gets going. All of us don't have to be friends either since there was a lot of hostility towards people of a different class back then so maybe there could be that sort of drama going on. My character doesn't care about classes but maybe some of your 1st or 2nd class characters do?]

"It is five o'clock at the moment, dinner should be served at six." Emmeline smiled, "I'm Emmeline."
She smiled warmly to the french girl.

[Alrighty, we'll see you then! I don't think the story will get too far along until then anyways considering there aren't too many of us playing yet!]

"Thank you, I shall meet you there right before the hour. I am very much looking forward to joining you and I must thank you once again for inviting me! I need to go freshen up and change for dinner wear so I must leave you two ladies now" Lilliana said and bid them both farewell. She soon found her way down the narrow corridors to the en-suite cabin she shared with her mother. Her father slept seperately. She knocked on the door and stepped back, waiting for her mother to answer. She heard noises and footsteps inside and soon she stood face to face with the elder woman she had known for the past 18 years of her life.

((Maybe for another plot we could have things happen after the sinking, and have that talked about on the boat, like two people talk abot planin to meet in a certain place, Margaret becomes best friends with Lilliana, and ends up going with her to meet the husband to be, things like that.))

Margaret nodded as the ladies left and continued to walke around the deck,and as force of habit, she smiled and batted her lashes at every man. Realisng what she was doing she shook her head and looked out at the sea again. It was sad, it was hard to be rid of a habit you've had for about 5 years or more. Sadly she opened her mouth and sang hauntingly.

~Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
THe past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I've held so dear.

I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Heaven bend to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
One slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...~

((Yes she will sing some times, I am basing her life and charcter sort of from Moulin Rouge the movie. So she has to know how to sing.))

[I have plans for my own character and the 3rd class guy she will encounter later, which I don't want to reveal yet as I haven't figured it out to 100% so as of now it could be hard to plan a future after the sinking when we don't know who of us will survive and who will die yet]

"Where have you been?" her mother demanded to know. "The dinner trumpets have already announced the approaching meal and you have not changed your gowns yet. You must hurry up now and change immediately. We must look our best on this the very first evening on board. A first impression is very important my dear, remember that!" her mother rambled on. Lilliana rolled her eyes inwardly, wishing the woman would just stop talking.

"Yes I know mother but if you do not stop this endless chatter of yours we shall be late as well" Lilliana said while going past the older woman towards her trunk. "Oh and I forgot to tell you, I shall be joining a different dinner party tonight. I met a very nice young woman, close to my age I shall imagine, and I have been invited to join her and her beau for dinner tonight. I hope you do not mind, mother" she said while searching through her trunk to find the dinner gown she wanted to wear.

"No of course I do not mind, my dear. But I do hope you will do us the honor of joining your father's and my company at least for one meal during this voyage?" her mother said with a playful smile and walked into the bedroom, leaving Lilliana in peace.
