There's an in-ship plot starting this November 22nd and lasting for 15 days.

It involved having two characters inside one body. Interested? Read on!

Plot:
A few crewmen accidentally release Nezaitben, a spirit of love and harmony! The frozen spirit is thankful for their help and vows to make this ship into a paradise for all mortals inhabiting it. Her area of expertise is happiness and love.

For the first days, everything looks fine, apart from the ship having a lot more flowers than before, tiny little heart-shaped treats. Then, realizing that the crew continues to be gloomy, Nezaiben decided she needs a few more followers to aid her.

My, all these people on the ship that already love and like each other...sharing a body together for the rest of their lives would be fine, right? After all, they have to understand that a spirit like herself need their bodies much more than they do! THERE IS A SHIP TO CHEER UP! And when that doesn't seem enough, she completely crosses the family and friendship line and just goes for everyone.

Those struck by this curse of love must now walk in the same body, sharing the same mind, but with two spirits inside one! What shall they do? How can they fight it? And most importantly...will they be able to get their bodies back?
(Obviously yes, but just play along with me)

How it will go down:
Day one:
A few brave volunteers (2-3 people) will find the frozen goddess in the city in a decaying garden that has not been explored before. They will find the statue of the frozen woman, and bring her back to life (we can talk about how they do that, depending on who volunteers)

Day two:
Nezaiben introduces herself to the crew, and thanks them for freeing her and vows to make their lives as comfortable and peaceful as possible. Of course you know the saying 'if it's too good to be true...' She revives her frozen area into a huge, luscious garden of flowers, cherry & apple trees.

Day three:
Realizing that despite cheering up most of the crewmen hasn't changed the overall atmosphere, that the flower garlands are not doing that much and that some crewmen continue to be downers, she decides that she'll need more followers to help her in her task. Picking at first people who already have connections and/or feelings for each other, they will wake up that day either on the other person;s body or wake up and realizing that something is wrong when they hear another voice with them.

Nezaiben will explain the situation to the crewmen, and thank them for being so cooperative. Keep in mind that while she is really powerful, she is also very naive, as in she thinks she is doing you mortals a GREAT FAVOR. Yeap. No need to thank her, she already knows she's working hard for you. So this isn't dealing with a maleficent ghost than a kind god trying to do too much.

Day five:
The ship's situation continues to not be up to Neziben's standards. In desperation, she decides to have other followers join her, picking out people at random and putting together in bodies, in the hope that they'll get along this way.

Day five (three for the earlier bonded) to fourteen:
The ship must deal with having people stuck inside two bodies at the same time. You are free to suggest ways to deal with her.

Day fifteen:
A solution is found (and will depending entirely on what the players suggest!), Nezaiben is trapped again and now to break the 'curse' both characters must admit to each other their connection to sever it. There is no way out of this, lying will just delay the problem. This is an excellent opportunity for players who have hidden crushes to admit to each other, or people who hate each other do the same. Examples can be : "You are my friend." "You are my family member." "You're a total stranger that I only met because of this dumb curse." etc.

How this works:
This plot is not mandatory; do not feel bad if you do not wish to join it! You may get a few flowers over your head, however.
Characters will wake up with the 'illness.' There is no switching when both of them are conscious. If they are the type not to sleep, they will feel sleepy that night and will not be able to resist the relaxing fall into darkness.
Characters are allowed to switch their forms as many times as they wish (Neziben will tell them this). However, they can only do so once per 'day'.
While one character is the host for both spirits, the other one goes around all merrily, spreading flowers, love and candy to the rest of the crewmen, singing about harmony and love. They also are wearing bright golden outfits (that will disappear / switch to the other character when they do a body switch, then disappear completely once the curse is gone), and have flower crown on their heads. They speak using the character's voices since they have their vocal cords except just really, really, really happy.
Players are allowed to play their happy doppelganger should they wish to do so!
Meanwhile, those stuck in the same body can 1) Both control it 2) Fight each other for control (Stop punching yourself, etc.) 3)Pass the controls to each other. Imagine watching your own body do reactions when you give the controls to the other person, and you get the idea. Play it seriously, play it humorously, it's all good! 4)Both characters can hear each other's thoughts.
A few characters will be helping out the others on how to deal with the situation, being in similair ones before.
Now enjoy the fun of having your characters do things  stuck in a single body, and how they react others.

Signing up:
There are sections below, VOLUNTEERS for those that would like to be involved in discovering the frozen spirit, the Q&A for the plot, the PRESET character exchanges that have been already planned with players so I know who is going to be stuck with who, along with their social link (family, lovers, crushes, random strangers we figured would be fun to have together in a body, etc), and the RANDOM character exchange for those that want to participate in the plot, but had no set plans. This is a beautiful chance for you to get completely random CR with a total stranger and meet them up close and personal.
