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
