Shernette looked at the great ship astonished but she looked embarrassed.
Mostly because she was in a dress and she hadn't worn one since she was a toddler.
She swore she would not let Hudson chose her dress again. She looks like a glorified strawberry pastry!
But this was nessicary.
The Noahtic was not only allowing people of all classes to board, she found out that a certain sword was being in a special auction.
A magic one.
That belonged to her family.
She had to get it back.....
She would have to resort to stealing and making a fake.
Boarding the ship with her Marader's map, and extra clothes and her shrunken bag, her mind was set to get back Godric's sword.
-----------------
Concealed in extravagant fakes, a Joker sets up her plan,Unknown to her that another Mastermind is on the Ship.

Looking out on the sea listlessly, Shernette was planning on using the free time looking over the water to find someone was watching her.
Her magic showed her it was a blonde male with scarlet eyes.
He also gave off a sense of danger she was all too familiar with.
It was one of a mastermind and a killer.
She had to steer clear of this one.
But Fate always had a way of biting people in the backside.
Later on the ship, there was a ball going on, so that would give her an opportunity.
Pretending she was going off to change, she used her invisibility cloak to sneak past the guards, and use her magic to switch Godric's sword with a fake from her room. It looked exactly like the sword except the jewels on it were fake. That way, if someone auction the sword and discovered that it was fake, she would not take the blame at all.
And no one would be the wiser.
The Perfect Crime.

Disguising the sword as a fancy necklace, she quickly dresses in a new dress for the party in a different area of the ship with her teleporting spell.Unfortunately, Shernette kept being approached by males that did not take no for an answer.
She had to dash off to an area where she found the scarlet eyed male was in a snazzy tux.
Well, she has no other option.
She quickly ran over to him with a smile.
"Ah, I found you! Sorry it took me a while!"
The scarlet eyed male turned around to see the young raven haired lady walking toward him. But before he could say anything, Shernette whispered:
"I have persistent suitors after me. Help me out."
He seemed surprised at that for a second, but quickly got the picture, and wrapped an arm around one of hers right as the men came around.
"Sorry for being late, but I'm sure you're excited about the opera on the ship."
"Of course!"
Once they were in the ballroom, Shernette breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for helping me back there. I swear some men think we women are like objects to own and show off." Shernette grumbled.
"It's no problem. Although I would like to know the name of the lady I rescued."
"Shernette Holmes. And you?"
"Ah, the female Detective? To be honest, you're more modest and fair than others described you. I'm William James Moriarty." William introduces himself.
Then music pops up, and Shernette sees people gathering to dance with their respective partners.
She was about to stand to the side, William grabs her hand.
"Apologies, but if you don't mind, I would like a dance with you." He smiles.
Shernette felt he was up to something and was attempting to keep her distracted. But she decided to humor him.
"Well, since you did help me, I accept."
