Meetings and Banquets

Meetings and Banquets

Apr 16, 2018

Pay got to his room, looking up at the draft wall for the time, once he got his answer he went to his suitcase and moved it off of the bed, considering sleep. This wasn’t exactly his time zone, so he couldn’t help but feel sleepy, the only reason he slept last night was because of the alcohol. He pondered, maybe it was best he slept the days, and stayed awake the nights, he certainly would like to not be seen by the crew, and passengers. Only when everyone was drunk, or too tired to bother, this could work out for him, he would extensively look into the crews history, just In case he needed to know. He stuck his hand in his bag, it was filled to the brim with secret gadgets, chapstick that could detect and print fingerprints, a scarf that could be pulled wide into a parachute, Lucky him he had a genius friend who’d over packed him for a simple cruise. He began to pull out clothes, he had heard of a banquet tonight, it was in a listing of activities on the ship, but he was sure it was invite only.

Soon he placed a rather fancy and full red sweater on the bed and some dress pants, he knew it was none of his business, but Pay was nosy like that, he wanted to go, just in case. He swiftly got dressed, and left the room, knowing now where all the fancy people went.

It was afternoonish, but it was never too early to drink on a cruise, he was hoping for someone drunk to be around, someone he could ‘extract’ some info from, he just needed a photo of an invitation, for his scheme to work.

And soon enough he found a rather fancy arctic fox lady, almost completely passed out in the bar, perhaps it wasn’t early enough. 

He saw her purse, that’s what he needed. He coyly looked around the room, no one seemed to be guarding the room. So Pay did what he had to do as quickly as he could, Take the invite out, take a photo, put it back. And he did so accordingly. Then he shuffled out of the room as quick as possible.

The meeting was over and the banquet was about to begin, whilst the important people of the meeting took their designated seats at the new table, Nebu was off to the side preparing for his speech. Slowly watching more and more people of the cruise enter the banquet hall, he was preparing to make his family proud and if he did so just right, by the time the cruise was over he'd own his father's company and have his siblings work for him rather then with. 

Nebu's father came around the corner after getting the guests of the meeting settled, he went up to Nebu and put his old yet still firm hand on Nebu's shoulder and squeezed it until he became face to face with his son. "Nebu, you do this right you get the company. If you make a complete fool of yourself you will be off the ship at the next doc and your sister will take your place. Understand?"

"Yes, sir." Nebu said, knowing better than to interrupt him and only speak when spoken too.

"Now, you've rehearsed this, and hopefully you can take off those stupid sunglasses, we are going to be inside for God's sake. Now do your job so I can lose mine." Nebu's father said ripping the sunglasses off his sons face then walking off back into the room, from outside Nebu could see his father say a few words to the men at the table, then take a side glance at Nebu.
