conversations.value: **Plot:** You’re on a cruise ship, minding your own business, and then the impossible happens. Discover a hidden world! Bond with people you meet! And most importantly, *survive!*
  
  **Starting location:** TIAMAT, a decommissioned Australian warship refitted into a luxury liner by the private sector. Crew is mostly civilian in Australian Navy outfits, though there are ex-military, too, some of whom have served on this ship in the past.
  
  **More info about the world:** https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UsJVyIaNXaNmQ9rK6abbttDhAVTEh8qQ4DuHWjAUW6o/edit#heading=h.3lnzlva8a3l
  
  **Genre:** Action adventure, mystery thriller and survival horror.
  
  **Narration style:** I like to tell the story in the point of view of NPCs. Whatever I  didn't describe, feel free to be creative and create!
  
  **Characters:** I’m seeking a diverse set of characters, mostly (but not exclusively) ordinary people being put in extraordinary situations. Go crazy with character creation if you want, but keep it grounded in reality. This game will be as much about the characters as it is about the overall story, so feel free to come up with interesting, personal backstories. If you want to keep your backstory a secret, use the Narrator-Player private comment box so I know what to expect.
  
  **Relationships:** I enjoy it most when characters interact with each other, whether it’s a conflict or a budding friendship or just a snarky back and forth thing... so I’d appreciate it if you make an effort.
  
  **Age requirement:** Please be of legal age in your country — there will be swearing, violence, and other adult themes on this game.
  
  **Number of players:** I’m going to try keeping it between 5-7 very active players.
