Numerous splashing sounds and screaming from outside the ferry awaken Allysse from her light sleep. She had been having trouble getting to sleep because of sea sickness, anxiety, and excitement; so when she was rudely awakened, her mood plummeted. Rubbing her eyes and yawning, she slides out of bed. After smoothing down her clothing and finger-combing her hair, she exits her cabin and enters the lounge to investigate. 

When she enters the lounge, it feels as if everyone is looking at her, even though everyone seemed to be doing their own thing. Scanning the room, she spotted a  boy at a table talking to himself, and another girl that seemed extremely bored. She also sees a table with food laid out, and her stomach rumbles in response. Eating would be nice, but it would be more valuable to build connections and friendships with people. Trying to decide who seems less daunting to approach, Allysse evaluates the two curious people in the room. She finds the boy amusing, but is wary to approach him in his current state. So, she decides to shoot her shot at friendship, or at least small talk, with the girl in the chair. Putting on a facade of confidence and extroversion, she struts over to the girl and plops down in a seat beside her.

"Uhm... hi. I don't mean to bother you, but I'd like to make friends while I'm here. My name's Allysse," she said, and awkwardly reaches her hand out for a handshake.
