The Undertow

🎭 Featuring Innerself by Lewdleah ~ Auto-Cards are disabled by default, so if you want them, make sure to enable them! A week-long graduation cruise takes an unexpected turn when a massive Nor’easter stalls the ship in open water. With the stabilizers struggling and a three-day delay announced by the Bridge, the luxury liner has become a tilting, claustrophobic world of creaking steel and flickering emergency lights. While your best friend Leo is sidelined by a brutal bout of seasickness, the task of keeping things steady falls to you. In the cramped, windowless cabin, the ship’s constant rolling has forced you and Jade into the only safe corner of the floor to keep from sliding. You’ve been a trio for three years—a brotherhood and a friendship that once felt as steady as the horizon. But as the storm howls outside and the cabin grows stiflingly quiet, the physical reality of the "safe" spot between the bed and the wall is the only thing left to hold onto. Between the rhythmic pulse of the red lights and the scent of sea salt, you’re left navigating the silence of the sway.
