Love Ahoy! [CANCELLED]

---

The familiar tune of Astronomia sounded suddenly in the silence of Rachel Kim's bedroom, causing her to groan as she was so rudely awakened by the ringing of her phone so early in the morning. There was no need for her to check her phone to find the identity of the caller. She had so aptly chosen the music not long after the meme of the coffin dancers became a viral sensation, given that her parents visit was never something that came without any fuss, especially if her mother was involved. Groping around for her phone on her bedside table, she briefly answered it to the sound of her mother's voice. "We'll be there in 15 minutes."

Without saying another word, she hung up, leaving her daughter to fumble for herself as she pulled herself awake. A brief thought of annoyance of could possibly be the visit about this time was promptly brushed aside as realization dawned onto her. Today was the day of the cruise. The Speed Dating cruise holiday aboard the SS Astarte. Her parents had made plans to ensure that she didn't forget to go to the cruise, her mother even going so far as to come to her apartment to prepare a home-cooked breakfast before they departed together for the cruise. Not long after she finished washing up and getting dressed, her parents arrived, right on the dot of the fifteen minutes announced her mother. As soon as she opened the door, her mother brushed through her and made a beeline for the kitchen, carrying bags of cooking ingredients on the counter as she began to whip up a storm. Her father soon followed with the calm and leisurely pace he so known for, greeting his daughter with a smile. The father and daughter pair sat themselves down in the sofa in the living area while they waited for her breakfast to be ready. "I hope you find someone good on the cruise. Someone you like that appeals to you. Just be yourself."

Rachel didn't exactly knew how to respond to that. She managed with a "We'll see." "You've got to make an effort to put yourself out there if you don't want to end up all alone in your old age. Give it a good honest try. Who knows, this might actually work out when there's no where to go, and no where to hide when you're stranded with other like minded folks on a ship out at sea." "I'll give it a shot. No promises though." Her words came with a sense of caution in case her parents read too much into this and were already starting to count their chickens before they were hatched. "Your mother and I just want you to take this trip optimistically and put in a good effort to make this work. If it doesn't work, then at least we've tried." There came her father's pet phrase again. She'd grown up listening to him saying that over and over again, and Rachel knew that he was fully serious and committed whenever he used those words. Their conversation was interrupted by the announcement that her breakfast was ready and Rachel found herself treated to a Korean home-cooked breakfast spread. Her mother's special Korean Street Toast and Jeon Vegetable Pancake which consisted of Squash and Zucchini fried a lovely golden brown was present like always.

The staple was in the form of a Korean Kimchi Rice bowl filled with freshly cooked bacon strips and a fried egg. The breakfast was a heavy one, but being a hearty eater, Rachel had no problems finishing all of it. After consuming her hearty breakfast, Rachel went to get dressed, and emerged in a simple black top and faded denim shorts along with a light flannel dark green and red oversized shirt and black boots. Pulling her luggage along with her, the trio left her apartment and began the trip to the cruise terminal. Anxiety began to build up and bubble within her as the cruise came into sight as they arrived the terminal. Hugging her parents and waving them farewell, Rachel began to make her way to the VIP line, bypassing many of the others who stood in the regular queue. Despite her popularity, her fame was no where compared to the more famous actresses and models. She was an athlete and athletes don't really get associated with the same these big entertainers get unless they were really big and world-famous. As she boarded the cruise, the staff promptly assisted with her luggage and led her to the exclusive upper deck where a small crowd of the other dating participants for United at Heart were already present.

Rachel could feel eyes on her as she approached the group, and she wondered to herself if there was any other athletes in the group. She didn't seem to recognize any, and there was certainly no other snowboarder present, or any other winter athlete present that she could see. She was totally out of her element here, let alone her comfort zone and she began to feel self consciously under dressed as she glanced the others present beside her. A small consolation was that there were a couple of others that weren't so formally dressed.

Declining the offer for a champagne as she was offered one, she opted for an apple cider instead, opting to keep her head free of any alcoholic intoxication. She needed her wits about her if she was going to make something good come out of this.

Appearance

Standing at 5 feet 7 inches, the first notable facial feature you’ll recognize of Rachel are those highly distinctive chocolate brown eyes and her rich raven black hair. Her face is heart-shaped, her nose slender, and her lips a healthy shade of pink. In times of happiness, darling little dents of delight appear on her youthful visage, the dimples ever present whenever any form of smile or grin makes itself known. Her long dark locks that fall down her shoulder compliments her fair skin tone very well. Some healed scars are visible from falls and scrapes from her sporting career. If she was to be asked about her favorite feature, her eyes would win without any further hesitation on her part. Focused and expressive, her eyes are the windows to her soul and carries a message when her lips doesn’t. Her figure is slim and athletic with her fair share of muscles from her highly physical lifestyle.

Personality

Strong-willed, passionate and headstrong. These words sum up Rachel well. A fun-loving and passionate soul, Rachel loves having fun, and she works just as hard as she plays hard. She is devoted and committed to those she loves and befriends. Since young, she has always been the type of girl that mingles and plays with the boys while holding her own.

Her blatant honesty and candor has always led her to speak anything on her mind, and some might find that annoying about her. There are also those that appreciate the truth and weight of her words, and know that they’ll always be getting the honest truth from her without any added nonsense. She’s inherently stubborn and more than capable of asserting and standing up for herself. She tries her best to stay calm in crises in an attempt to take hold of the situation and turn the odds into her favor, but these attempts often fail as the impulsive side of her often takes over. She is also known to get possessive of her personal belongings, and gets anxious when she has to entertain the thought of sharing them with others. When things don’t go her way, she displays her her displeasure openly but without making too much of a fuss out of it. Although she may have an impulsive side of her, when it comes to the more intimate matters, she doesn't like to rush into things. Woefully unprepared, she gets put off by the pushy sort of seeks to confirm arrangements so early into the relationship which often causes her to panic internally. Every day is a new day to her, and she doesn't want to lock-in her choices until she feels that person is that very special one.

As someone who lives in the present, she needs to know that she has the freedom to be passionate about something one day and indifferent to something the next, without being grilled on when she is going to finish something or why she has suddenly changed her mind. That's how her she is and the person that fits her would have to understand and accept her for who she is.

Rachel hates being underestimated. Romantic relationships has never quite worked out the way she wanted. Apart from one or two flings in her past, her love life has been pretty stagnant. It’s difficult enough for her to find someone that fits, and even more to be able to ensure that the relationship would work out. She has a thing for nerds and goofy guys who are able to appreciate having in life. She especially loves a guy who can takes jokes and make his own fair share of them, especially puns and dad jokes. Where others might cringe at lame dad jokes, those never fail to lift her spirits and make her smile.

Biography

Born in Los Angeles, Rachel's parents were immigrants who migrated over from South Korea. Her mother, Vanessa worked as a Pediatric surgeon in one of the largest and most prominent hospitals in LA and her father, Richard worked as civil defense attorney. Despite being born in a wealthy family, her parents had ensured that she and her brother followed a proper upbringing and remained humble and modest. They were strict but loving, and doted on their children. They were taught to never give-up and always work her to achieve their goals. From the very beginning, Vanessa and Richard were very supportive of their interests and hobbies, and actively encouraged their children to pursue their dreams and engage in whatever field of interest they found themselves attracted to. Her brother Michael developed a passion for acting and aspired to be a Hollywood actor.

Rachel, on the other hand, found herself developing a passion for snowboarding. Her father, an avid snowboarder introduced the winter sport to Rachel when she was just seven. She has always felt right at home surrounded by the mountains filled with snow, the slopes and with her board at hand. By age nine, she was already blowing down the mountain and sitting by the lift as she waited for her father to do his fanciful turns and tricks as he came to meet her. The older she grew, the more advanced her skills and technique developed and soon she was outclassing just about every snowboarder in the state. With her sights set a professional snowboarding career, there was just no stopping the lass from achieving her dreams.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that she sucked at romance. Although she may have had more than a handful of relationships, none of them had lasted very long. She'd had always been the type to live in the present, always look for new activities and new experiences, and that is too much to cope with, they said. Many of her past boyfriends had referred her to as too much of a hassle to keep up with, her abundance of energy too much for them to handle. She's also the type to require a great deal of personal space, both physically and mentally and attempts to control her or forcibly schedule her activities only accelerated the end of such demanding relationships. As a passionate person, once she finds herself committed to a relationship, her feelings run deep and strong, but she tends to conceal and protect them, because she is unsure on how to deal with them and express them. This often causes misunderstandings that she is disinterested even though that couldn't be further from the truth. The losses of relationships from such a manner hurts her the most and are the most painful ones she often has to bear.

Her older brother Michael pursued his acting career with his goal of starring in a big Hollywood blockbuster after graduating from college, and Rachel continued on with her snowboarding dreams. Qualifying to represent the USA National Snowboarding Team for the 2018 Winter Olympics changed her life forever. She went on to win the gold medal for Team USA in the Women's Halfpipe finals in Korea's first ever winter Olympics. It brought her into a spotlight and placed her at the center of attention, something she found exhilarating. Since then, other than training for competitions, she has also taken up a job as a snowboard instructor in Big Bear Mountain Resort in the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere, and then travelling to the Perisher Ski Resort for the winter months in the Southern Hemisphere. Her reason for being on the cruise? A lost bet. She had agreed on the bet placed by both her parents that if she did not win a gold medal in the recent X Games Aspen Superpipe competition.

Worried about her non-existent dating life despite her popularity, her parents had something up their sleeves as they devised a plan to get her dating life in order if she was to ever get going. Before she even reached home, the ticket to United At Heart cruise aboard the SS Asarte was already fully paid for by her parents. True to her word, and knowing that there would be no-end to the nagging if she did not go, Rachel found herself headed towards the Caribbean and spending Christmas for the first time aboard a cruise far from the snow filled mountains filled of skiers and snowboarders. Despite going on the cruise willingly, Rachel is unsure if anything would come out of this, and if finding love in such a way would even be possible.

She finally received an answer. Unless the other voice she had heard faintly in the distance, this one was much closer, and was a whole lot closer as it communicated in English. Trying her best to locate the owner of the voice, she turned and swiveled until she found her eyes on an extremely tall individual. The man's skin tone was considerably darker than hers, with a strong greyish hue to it. He stood more than double her height and was pretty much a giant in pretty much every single way. He was big. Big and muscular. If anything screamed giant warrior, this was pretty much it. Give him a giant club, and he was as close as one could possibly get to resembling one of the giant was one of the many fantasy novels she'd read before. The specifics were lost to her, but this much she knew. The messy medium length hair that topped his head was dark brown, and any attempts to figure out his race and nationality were unsuccessful.

She'd also noticed that the clothing he wore was similar to hers, just a whole lot bigger to fit his giant frame. He also had the collar on his neck and the same red patch she had on her. If she maintained her gaze any longer at the giant, it would be impossible to deny that she was staring, but in her defense, there was no one else around and she was just glad to see someone else around at the moment. The answer to that came almost immediately, as another individual came in to join the moment. Just a while ago, there was none, and now there were two. It was so rather quickly how things have turned. The newcomer was also male, and taller than her, but nowhere as tall as the giant.

In contrast, his skin was far fairer and paler than the both of them and his blue eyes were unmistakable. His nationality may not be known to her, but she knew that he was a Caucasian. The blue eyes were a dead giveaway. He asked the question to which all of them may have been wondering, and she shook her head to indicate she did not know anything about their current situation.

"Unless any of you have a clue of what's happening, we should all go and find out."

CONTAINMENT: Welcome to Facility B

Seo-Ra Han [FR-2164-SRH]

Like many contained in the cells of Facility B, the young woman found herself awake by the sound of warbling alarms and sirens. Upon waking from her slumber, strangely enough, she had no memory of who she was, and where exactly she was and what she was doing in this strange place. The red light of the camera that was strategically place to provide an unobstructed view of her no longer had the glowing red eye that signified that it was on. Among the flickering lights, the woman noticed that her room was filled with a variety of sprinklers, as though a fire might break out at any moment. Feeling something heavy at her holding her head down, her hands found themselves grabbing onto a metal collar worn at her neck. What was this for? Was this supposed to keep her contained? Was she a dangerous person?

The alarms and sirens soon abruptly stopped, replaced by the eerie silence of the building, with the flickering bzzt of the lights as they switched from the usual full powered mode to emergency power. A quick glance around saw her in a room with a small amount of furniture that she must have been quite fortunate to have the luxury to possess. Whatever she did, she must have had some luck to not be in an empty cell like most prisoners. She had to be a prisoner, what else could explain the nondescript gown she currently wore, and the thick metal collar around her neck? There was no other logical explanation. The woman spoke for the first time among the eerie silence.

"안녕하세요?" No answer came back to greet back. Walking out of the emptiness that used to be occupied by her cell door, the woman stepped out into the hallway, repeating her words once again. "안녕하세요 누구 있어요? [annyeonghaseyo nugu iss-eoyo?]" A few minutes would pass before she would repeat once more, this time in English. "Hello? Is anyone there?"

This time she heard something, her ears straining to pick up on the sound. She had no idea if that was directed at her. It was a voice, faint and somewhere in the distance, that she couldn't quite make out. It confirmed something for her. She wasn't alone.

There were still people out there, and her gut told her that the answer she sought for her current situation would likely be found in the company of others, what with her recent memory being non-existent and all.[/b]
