The Black Tide: Deck Plan
☠ Deck 01
Map
The home of a pirate themed mini golf course. Nine spectacular holes of putt putt that can keep any golf enthusiast entertained for hours on end. The course always seems to be shifting as the same course can never be played twice. There are deck chairs along the aft of the ship as well as several seemingly non-functioning cannons at the fore.
☠ Deck 02
Map Unavailable
Deck two is inaccessible to passengers. This is where the crew quarters are located and they like their privacy! Only crew keycards can enable the elevator to stop here, otherwise it will be bypassed completely.
☠ Deck 03
Map
Here you will find the medical bay, staffed by the ship's doctor Kenna Kiely. He's kind of skittish so please do not sneak up on him. The medbay is an expansive place and passengers will be well cared for here. At the aft of this deck, is the front desk, manned by a Nameless. This is where passenger records are kept. If passengers lose their keycard, they may request a new one here. There is also a cafe called the Seabreeze which is currently non-operational (characters may open the cafe up if they wish, just contact a mod).
Just past the Seabreeze is a massage parlor, operated by Nameless. There is a working sauna here and a phenomenal place known as the Social Circle. Characters who come here will find themselves overwhelmed with a sense of peace. Conflict simply does not happen in the Social Circle. Any attempts at arguing or violence will be deflected.
☠ Deck 04
Map
Passenger Cabin floor plans
The main attraction of deck four is the Opera House, the Royale. It is a lavishly decorated place with statues of naked golden angels galore and a chandelier (don't worry it is secured in place and won't be dropping on the audience any time soon.) This is stage level where the orchestra pit is located. It's filled to the brim with dusty instruments.
Here you will also find the passenger's quarters. These rooms may be decorated to taste. Passengers will also find in their rooms two important things: a map featuring a tiny Black Tide that will follow the very same course as its real counterpart, its destination (THE GOLDEN SHORE!!!) circled heavily in red. There is also a large portrait of their captain, Victoria Rowe. The map cannot be removed from the wall. Rowe's portrait can, but it is advised you do not. She will know and you will not like the outcome. In the washroom, the wall behind the toilet is actually composed of stacked shrunken heads. They talk and they're not always pleasant. Just ignore them.
After a certain point passengers may notice that the doors to certain cabins have been nailed shut.
☠ Deck 05
Map
Passenger Cabin floor plans
Yet another residential deck for the passengers and are identical to the quarters found on deck four, including the inaccessible cabins. It is unremarkable save for the second level of the Royale Opera House being located here. This is the box level, where the fancy schmancy seats are. Boxes are on each side of the stage and can be accessed by anyone if there's a show going on. No ticket necessary!
There is also a library here. Books will automatically translate into whatever language the character is most comfortable with. Passengers may take as many books as they like from the library, but the books must be returned within 7 days. Otherwise, the Nameless librarian will come to retrieve them. The library is four floors high with a great glass elevator and a fireplace on every floor. Please do not press the EJECT! button on the elevator.
☠ Deck 06
Map
A food court, oh my! The food court is essentially a cafeteria surrounded by a variety of 'fast food' -esque places. There's such a wide variety of food to be found here, that characters will undoubtedly find something they like. Each stand is manned by a mysterious figure with dead eyes. They will not respond when poked, prodded, or otherwise bothered. They will deliver any food order and if there's a mess they'll clean it. They cannot otherwise be interacted with because they will not react! Most notably you will find the Java Station which is a coffeehouse manned by a Nameless proprietor and 2 waiters, Blue Crush where robots, transformers and the like will find their means of sustenance, and the Black Tie Casino. A black tie is mandatory when entering the casino. Nameless will provide you with one if you are not following the dress code.
In the center of the cafeteria is a working carousel that takes only a swipe of a keycard to activate. There is something rather odd about this carousel, however. These were real horses once upon a time that were lovingly dipped in plastic to save the passengers from nasty horse bites! Thank Rowe for her kindness. While aboard the carousel, passengers will hear the steady heartbeat of the horse they are riding on. Circus music plays for anyone else not riding the carousel.
The marketplace is also located on this deck, above the food court. It has all the markings of a mall. Everything here is free for the taking, so please help yourself.
☠ Deck 07
Map
Deck 7 features an enormous floor-to-ceiling aquarium. Many exotic fish live here, but the most prominent feature of the aquarium are mermaids. That's right! Real live mermaids that have been graciously provided by Captain Rowe for your entertainment. The mermaids have all been sewn into their tails using thick metal threads and have had gills carved into their necks. They are, for the most part, docile. At least until you stick your hand in the tank. Then you'll be treated to their razor sharp piranha teeth. Because of this, there is a sign scrawled in crayon warning passengers away from feeding them. Just ignore the cooler marked fish food.
Intertwined with the aquarium is a botanical garden. There are a wide variety of lovely plants and vegetation. Some of the vines are even creeping across the tanks. There is nothing nasty about the plants, so please enjoy at your leisure.
Finally at the aft of this deck, where the botanical garden is at it's thickest, is an aviary where about fifty cardinals are housed and cared for by the Bird Keeper. The cardinals are harmless to passengers, but not to other birds, it seems. Rarely, passengers may see different breeds of birds caged with the cardinals. They do not last long, however, as they are often eaten by the cardinals. At the rear of the aviary is a cage housing a lone white heron that will largely ignore the passengers.
☠ Deck 08
Map
The gym is located on deck 8. There is a track, exercise equipment of all sorts, and oddly enough a beach that terminates at a large indoor pool. The water is beautiful and so clear that you can actually see the bottom of the pool. There is a sign that reads "Shark! Swim at your own peril. No lifeguard on duty." There appear to be no signs of a shark.
☠ Deck 09
Map
Deck 9's entirety is home to the Pourhouse Bar & Grille. Although it appears relatively empty, the Nameless waiters are constantly in a rush, busting tables and bringing out food. A corner table is always occupied by a group of shady looking men playing poker. They take their game very seriously and it is recommended you do not disturb them. This is where you will find the ship's cook, Franklin Garrett (he prefers Frankie). Frankie is an amazing chef and can whip up just about anything you ask for. He has no control over the food court so if you're not satisfied with anything you find on deck 6, then pay a visit to the Pourhouse and Frankie will try to get you something a little more palatable.
☠ Deck 10
Map
Deck 10 is currently under construction. There is nothing here save a dense darkness. Passengers are not allowed here, but their keycards will allow them to access it. Should you choose to travel to deck 10, please tread carefully. The shadows are hungry. (If you character goes to deck 10, please let a mod know.)
☠ The Brig
Map Unavailable
Passengers who break Rowe's rules will find themselves here. The brig is a dark, dank place. There is no food and bugs the size of your fist scurry about in the shadows. Passengers may not receive visitors and will be left to rot if they do not ask to be released when their sentence is up.
