We'll just have to make sure that only people who accept the risks sign up for any particularly horrendous excursions. And if anyone complains after the fact, we'll throw them overboard.

I'll save you the embarrassment of having to read my thoughts on the Captain's rare expressions of pleasure, but I know what you mean. He seems different, after everything that happened. Not excessively so, and not in a bad way. Just different.

Oh, please do. I'm assuming there's something inherently better about food cooked by real people rather than magicked up by the ship. By the by, has anyone accidentally blown up the deep fryer yet?

not like there wont be enough lunatics like us who want to go through the excursions again
and good luck with that
complaining is the national passtime here

[ Someone with a bit more emotional intelligence might take it as a sign that removing a bit of one's self hatred makes them a more pleasant person, but luckily this is Darcy we're dealing with, so she doesn't make any such comment. ]

dont know why but yeah it just tastes better
and i figure its also like
he can magic himself up a baklava but he cant magic himself up one that someone makes
because theyve never made it before that moment
or its probably just all the sugar anyway

and no not yet
between max and i weve managed to keep the kitchen running pretty smoothly
not so much as a fork in the microwave that ive noticed

I think, if handled properly, the majority of passengers would find the excursions thrilling. The only reason they didn't enjoy the Battle Royale and the zombie attack at the diner was because it was sprung on them with no warning. No one knew what excursions would be like when they first left to the island, and they were all inclined to hate the Captain for whatever he did after that. Now that several of us are on better terms with him and our situation...

Or maybe they'll try to escape on the lifeboats again and leave me alone entirely. That'd be funny.

I think you're right. Nothing can beat homemade sweets that he didn't conjure out of thin air, especially when made by a talented cook.

Good. The ship isnt repairing itself the way it used to; we don't need go to a month with a hole blown in the hull.

thats if springing it on us isnt part of the suffering he needs to power the ship
which like
he wouldnt want to do that to you
but if he told you what was coming youd absolutely tell me and ava and then wed tell the people we want to keep safe and then the whole ship knows
but thats all just guesswork
maybe it doesnt need to be a surprise who knows

thanks dude
but yeah basically nothing is cleaning itself either
so thats all up to us now
its kind of nice having to be a bit more responsible
like everythings more meaningful if you cant just smash it and wait for it to fix itself
more solid

but then you saw how mum and i lived im kind of a neat freak to begin with so

Some surprise is probably necessary. But he's going to announce the return to form soon, which means that the excursions being deadly doesn't need to be a secret. And judging from how the ghosts talked about their own past voyage, things like the Battle Royale became routine, which means that secrecy isn't paramount.

In the end, I don't expect a detailed synopsis. I'd be satisfied if he and Friday only committed to using new sign-up sheets each time. At a certain point, the "tropical vacation" one is going to run out of room.

It's a mixed blessing, honestly. It doesn't affect me too terribly, as my room doesn't get used that much, but there's a certain smell that comes from the unkempt rooms that I did not miss. But I do like that people are thinking twice before they do something stupid, like blowing holes in the deck or leaving their dirty glasses everywhere for people to accidentally knock over.

(Two of those complaints are about Sharky, even if he doesn't know it.)

hes actually announcing it?
wow
i am
genuinely really impressed
there goes that theory then

i would be tempted to put like
a sign up in the laundry about how to wash sheets and how often to wash them 
but knowing these assholes wed have people adding misinformation to it and calling it pro captain propaganda within a day

might be worth putting together a laundry brigade though
if only for the sake of shit not being gross

I asked him if he would, if only to keep Natsuno off of my case. He said he was planning on it, but needed time. It's been weighing on him more than I think he expected it to; this is new territory, after all. He's never cared about any of the passengers before, and now he cares about multiple.

The sign may be useful simply because so many people are from places outside of traditional 21st-century Earth. I'm genuinely surprised we haven't had another bout of explosive detergent. And it's really too bad that everyone here is generally accepting of one another; there'd be much less grossness going around if we exercised a little big of old-fashioned mockery. But if you do get desperate enough to form a taskforce, I'll be glad to help force people from their rooms and into the laundry room. For the good of everyone, obviously.

thats true
when i talked to him i tried to like
i mean i know im not the top of his priority list or anything but
i dont want him feeling bad for throwing shit at me
not like i cant handle it right?

[ And maybe, just maybe, she might want to impress him. ]

i appreciate the offer
if you hear me sounding a horn in the hallway just assume ive decided its time for the dread reckoning of laundry and be ready to corral people
the ship will be cleansed by soap or by fire.

hehe
