On the quiet sea sails the cruise ship "Eventide", and on her deck sighs an artist whose name is Rosette. Clad in white overalls she travels abroad in search to stimulate new ideas for her art. Rosette stared off into the sea, the view lighting up her mood. A little relieved she perks up and strolls around the ship with her sketchpad while relishing the sea breeze through her black, shoulder-cut hair. Turning the corner into the pool area she sits by the bar and listens to the music, pianist and guitar duet.
Rosette orders a soda and searches around the pool hoping to find something to bring her out of an artist's block. Her sketchpad open and pencil in hand, Rosette is at the ready to draw her inspiration. Nothing yet, nothing now, nothing later. Rosette's order arrives, she takes the glass, and a sip, losing her focus and slipping into relaxation. Not relaxed for long as a red-haired goddess, in uniformed red bikini top and long flowing skirt entered the area.
Rosette looks at the scarlet lady with focused intent. She tries to remember each and every detail of her target's body while sketching her outline. Nearly stalking her, Rosette almost completes the task without relent. The scarlet lady notices Rosette and stops to return a smile. Rosette freezes with regret, she quickly thinks of ways to repent.
The scarlet lady is intrigued and walks in Rosette's direction. Rosette herself sets away her sketching material and calmly drinks her soda. The scarlet lady stays on path until she takes a seat next to Rosette and strikes up a conversation. She introduces herself as Guinne, a businesswoman on leave from work. Rosette nervously chats with Guinne, apologizing for staring at her and to express her admiration.
