Sounds intriguing. I'd be happy to play either a hunter or prey.
"I've been fighting for years. But always in a dohyō, with a referee and limits on technique. I don't doubt I am physically capable of killing, and I certainly know how. I will do it if necessary. But then I have to live with myself afterwards." Watanabe sighed. "Only in self-defense. Skylar, hold me to that. Do not let me kill people wantonly or unnecessarily."
"The strongest part of a sumo is his heart," Watanabe said with honest pleasure. "Even in such dark times as these, there's still people who admire virtues like determination and skill. I can distinguish myself in those areas." His face darkened. "Or I can kill men with my bare hands. Those animals might enjoy that more."
Watanabe arched his eyebrow at the 13 that denoted his place. They were being processed like cattle, lined up for slaughter. Sooner or later they'd actually be put into combat, but before then, so much to do. Had to get ready for their audience. Watanabe raised a huge, thick hand, gave Skylar a clap on the shoulder. Things were about to get real.

History: Kabir Singh grew up in rural India, in an isolated nothing town that was remarkable only as a jumping off point for foreign hunters. Most of the men in the village made their living as guides or porters for Americans or Britons looking to nab a sloth bear or leopard to hang over the fireplace. Kabir was under no illusions, however, the local men did most of the work. The tracking, the cornering, everything except actually pulling the trigger. While he followed the men of the village into the profession, he also used his own free time to hunt various game, gaining a great deal of experience and recognition. However, in recent years, big-game hunting has fallen out of favor as the wealthy in America and Europe begin to pursue more environmentally friendly pastimes. Kabir is married and has three children to put through school, and the big expeditions are becoming few and far between in his village. His finances have started to suffer, but Kabir is unwilling to look for other work- hunting is the only thing he knows.
His luck changed recently, however, with the receipt of a letter from an old client, a Staler executive who had taken a hunting junket some years earlier and recommended Kabir for the job. The pay was good, and even though it was unfamiliar territory, the man must provide for his family.

Should we do nominations first? I would put KOKO or Tearstone forwards.

That kinda puts us in a bigger danger, if a hostile makes a hole in it were pretty much dead... That reminds me: I REMEMBER HOW TO MAKE THERMITE!Edit: Not that its safe... Actually it's pretty dangerous.
A ship that size would take hours to sink even in the worst case scenario. Plenty of time for an evacuation.

I think that a large boat, like a yacht for example, would be a very good option. A place like that would also be easy to defend since it's on sea and not on land.
Oh, that gives me an idea. Miami's port serves more cruise ships than any other, maybe it's a luxury liner docked there or perhaps anchored a little ways offshore?

I'm almost done my CS, had a very busy weekend and didn't have a chance to be alone at my computer until last night. How's everyone been?
Doing good, man, yourself? Hope it was at least a productive weekend for you.
