I have a real bed! With sheets! Though I am tempted to string a hammock in the engine room so that I don't have to find my way to my room before I can sleep at night

Hinamori, in order to surive on the Creeping Limit, you need to know two very important things.

Don't ask about the former mechanic.

Ignore the black spot.

[stowawaymomo]

But the black spot is very creepy! It is watching every little move I make. That sort of thing drives people crazy you know!

What did you do to the mechanic?

[captain_grumpy]

Why do you immediately assume I did something to the former mechanic?

[stowawaymomo]

Because you are grumpy?

Probably scared the poor thing to death! And now that spot is taking its revenge on me by watching me!

Can we take out that wall?

[captain_grumpy]

That wall is my bulkhead, and it cannot be taken out.

Hinamori, the topic of the former mechanic? Not an issue to push, all right?

[stowawaymomo]

Are you sure you need that bulkhead? It has eyes now!

What if I say please! Really nicely?

[captain_grumpy]

Bulkheads are rather important to a ship's operation, really.

Let's just... say that the topic of the former mechanic is a bit of a black stain in Creeping Limit's history.

Oh my god... the ship is haunted!

[captain_grumpy]

...I didn't say that...

[stowawaymomo]

You hired me as a mechanic on a haunted ship!? Don't you know what happens to people when you do that?

...

[captain_grumpy]

The ship is not haunted, damn it. You know, there was a reason I told you to drop it.

[stowawaymomo]

... are you sure?

[captain_grumpy]

Very.

[stowawaymomo]

... all right.
