		[i]In the lower level of the ship where even the staff take their meals things are very relaxed. There are not individual tables or even small ones for groups to get together and talk quietly. There are long bench tables that span one end of the room to the other with bench seating. Like cafeteria tables one might see in larger schools or even prison. They are decently nice however. There is no seat assignments and things are relaxed. Food is served buffet style, which means grab your plate and serve yourself before being seated. All foods are local street fare foods popular in Egypt. Ales and Beers and Water are there to drink. Hard liquors are not unless you brought your own. People are loud and rambunctious. Talking drowns out most noises and what it doesn't music played by staff or even other passengers does. This is a good since you are right near the engine.  

	The Main deck has two lounges. One open air and one enclosed. Both are just your general bar type areas with tables scattered about. People don't really eat there unless it is some soft of small finger food or appetizer that has been placed out. Can't order more unless it is drinks. Anything hard or upscale costs a pretty penny and isn't covered in the cost of travel unless you have an Elite Level Ticket. Though no many of those are caught there. Most people mulling around here are from the lower level who just want some peace and quiet while still being social. That or have a major gambling habit and just want to play poker. 

	The Second Deck has more formal seating but the seats are not reserved. Tablecloths and the basics. You are waited on here and most of the people on this level are middle class or servants of the Elite who are taking a meal before they have to get to their employers above. You will have an option of several different meat choices before being served. Meals are served in 2 courses. Bread/Sides/Meat and then a small dessert. Wine, Beer, Ale, and water are free of charge, anything more does cost extra out of pocket and it not included in the cost of ticket. 

	The Elite Deck is a full seven course meal that is served slowly and with grandeur. All drinks are part of the fare of the ticket. Seating is assigned and it is the least crowded area. Light music is provided but nothing that would drown out polite conversation. Since the weather is nice currently and the air is cooling, dinner is served on the Sun Deck above and not in the Meeting Room of this deck. The Lounge will serve anything an Elite Ticket wishes as they play Poker, shoot Craps, talk, etc.[/i][/quote] 

[b][i][color=f7976a]Character Proceeding Forward:[/color][/i][/b] Vera looked over towards Nora as she arrived, George standing up in the ladies presence and nodding towards her. [color=f7976a]"It is nothing to apologize over, we had just been seated ourselves. I wanted to ensure we had a table is all,"[/color] Vera said kindly. She was glad Nora was there now, she felt more at ease with her there instead of being alone with George. George could have gone either way, he seemed to enjoy Vera's company with or without anyone around. Seeing his sister come over he smirked a bit seeing her pull out the candy. The woman did have a thing for sweets. His brow however did go up at his sisters words. 

	Vera looked equally surprised but she had come to trust George over the short amount of time knowing him and hoped that the apple did not fall far from the tree. [color=f7976a]"Currently we are going to a dig site in Bubastis in hopes of solving a few puzzles that have come up that seem ancient in origin. We have had a few things develop over the last few days that have raised more than a few questions both scientific and perhaps religious if not just hokkum. All signs seem to be pointing to the ancient site so we are following them in hopes that this time x will mark the proverbial spot,"[/color] Vera said, not exactly sure how to tell someone on the outside that people were getting branded by mysterious ways and several had turned up dead. It didn't seem like dinner conversation. 

	George remained standing as more women came over and finally sat down as Josephine was seated. Vera's eyes going over to Reddish and then to Josephine. He didn't seem like the type of man that the starlet would be found around but if she had learned anything over the previous months about the man when dealing with her uncle, he was not one that was easy to get rid of. Perhaps he had just latched onto her. She felt sorry for the woman but she had no doubt that if Reddish bothered her she would put the man in his place. [color=f7976a]It has been quite a day has it not Miss Clark? I think we could all use a good meal and rest this evening. Peace and quiet if you know,"[/color] she said glancing over towards Reddish. 

	[color=598527]"Mmm, indeed. I am mmm surprised you are not with the Lord Major,"[/color] George said to Reddish before carefully taking a sip of his drink and beginning to eat. He had to be careful with his mask on. He normally would take his meals in private so he could remove the mask but he was not going to leave Vera alone right then, not with everything that had happened so far. His sister, while he was protective of her, he wasn't worried over. The woman was truthful when she said she was made of tough things. He had seen her handle far more than one might believe. 

	[color=f7976a]"Yes, where is my uncle?"[/color] Vera asked as she picked up her spoon. [color=f7976a]"Would I be correct to presume he is taking his meal above?"[/color] she asked before noting that George was standing again and nodding towards Mosi. Vera looked over towards Nora before looking at Mosi. [color=f7976a]"Good evening to you,"[/color] she said as any good hostess would.
