There! I've finally got all the Halloween decorations up! It was a big job, but it's not like anyone ever appreciates all the hard work I do. No, you passengers are all too busy running around and eating sweeties to notice me scrubbing, vacuuming, straightening and toiling away, working my fingers to the bone!
But doesn't the ship look beautiful? I think I outdid myself this year!
Wait, what's this-?
Oh, tsk.
[The lights on the ship all cut out and the Elegante is plunged into total and complete blackness. An instant later the lights return to full and steady power and there're Halloween decorations everywhere! Styrofoam skeletons, grinning jack-o-lanterns, cotton cobwebs, orange and black streamers and in the forest a selection of fake tombstones have sprouted!]
There! Now where did I put those--
[The Stewardess pauses a moment and then there's a shriek.]
Intruder! INTRUDER! There's an INTRUDER ON BOARD, CAPTAIN!
[You can hear the sound of something large and metal dragging on the ground as the intruder slinks about the ship. Sometimes you'll notice a large shadow on the wall and the feeling of being watched. Oh my! Best be careful!]
intruder!,
halloween,
decorating,
i have a thousand things to do,
the captain is a great man
