Cosplay cruise

I was at a cosplay convention except it was a cruise. It was like 6 days long. The theme was angels/otherworldly/powerful beings. It was my first cosplay convention. The cruised began at a place near a railroad track. It was also near a weird apartment complex, one of which belonged to Drew. I believe before I left for the cruise I left something in his apartment, which will become relevant later. So the cruise. I was excited and was gonna go dressed as a cool robot thing, mechanized, it was painted all black. I parked in the designated parking structure but I forgot my cool robot suit in the car. When I got on the ship I was wearing a simple Mabel Pines costume. I dropped some of my stuff off at a seat (these were a lot of chairs) and went to mingle. After a bit I was ready to change into my real cosplay. I went to look for it, trying to find my seat, but when I couldn’t find it I realized i may have forgotten it in my car. I was sad. Someone made fun of my Mabel costume and said there was no effort put into it. I was quite sad and wanted off. To spend time I went off to a “MVP” section. There was no one there. It was a large hall, one room leading off to a Harry Potter section (which I didn’t go to, W) and one that was just a hall. It was a weird experience where I entered almost like an alternate dimension. You were a color and you were stuck in a series of rooms, each painted a certain color. Every time you’d enter a room you would change color. I’m not sure what the point of the game was, but it was intense and it felt like it lasted for months. After the game I left and went back to the main section of the cruise. Apparently it was making a stop back at its original starting point. I snuck off so I could get my costume. I guess someone was chasing me, because I wasn’t supposed to get off the cruise prematurely? I ran across the railroad tracks and down to Drew’s apartment, for some reason. Though originally I wanted to retrieve my costume, I think it turned in to something else. I went into the apartment complex, which was a large, long hallway with many apartments. The wallpaper was yellow. Some of the rooms were open. There were people hanging out there. They were kind of like the lost boys, like a ragtag team of younguns doing whatever. They were nice. I told them someone was chasing me and that I was looking for a specific apartment room. Whenever whoever was chasing me entered the building, the people started causing chaos to distract them and help me out. I guess Gustavo Fring from Breaking Bad was also there, because he was helping me out too. We ran from room to room together. At one point we hid behind a barricade of stuffed animals. We talked a while, and it was implied to be like a romantic moment where we were about to kiss but we were interrupted when the person chasing us found us and we had to run and hide somewhere else again.
