A certain time of year's fast approaching. A time that brings a lot of drama with it often enough! How about avoiding the normal boring chocolates and flowers route? How does that sound?
What if I told you that we could provide you with a fantastic alternative to the Valentine's Day norm. Something that would gladden the heart of your significant other, but also be hugely enjoyable for people who don't have much of a care for romantic slushiness.
Interested?
You enjoyed our trip around the island by train, didn't you? This time, we have the opportunity to go much further afield! My grandfather Horatio Montour lives on the island of Duval as some of you will know. He has a friend who's a shipbuilder who was commissioned to build a super-fast steam-powered passenger ship, but once it was completed the purchaser could not be found, it's all a bit of a mystery, the man seems to have disappeared completely! So the shipwright, a Mr. Ambrose, only ever got the down payment for the vessel. My grandfather had an idea for a way for the ship to earn some money so Mr. Ambrose could make up for his lost earnings, and I'm here to tell you about it!
Some way southeast of Menewsha is a small island that has belonged to Mr. Mayor's family for generations. This is the Isle de Cacoa, and hey guess what, they grow chocolate there! Not, you know, literally, but the beans that it comes from. My grandfather thought it would be a pretty neat place to visit! Do you?
If you'd like to go on a cruise to somewhere warm and sunny, and maybe get to learn how to grow and make chocolate instead of just eating it, then I'm who you want to see!
My grandfather says this is the best time of year for visiting the island; the rains have ended but it's not gotten too hot yet. It gets baking hot later on in the year, and once it starts to cool down the rains start. Places like that "rainy season" means sea of mud for 6 months, I think, but my grandfather frowned at me when I shared that opinion!
I've wanted to visit this island for years, but it took days to get there and back, so I couldn't go. But now we can go on this fancy new ship we can get there in just one day! It's amazing! I'm excited!!

If we buy a ticket in the other thread, what does that do? (I wasn't here for the train event)
edit: someone answered here (although not sure if anything happens after the "so far")
