1st Ruban - [Voice/English]

[dukealla]

Ah-

[After a few moments, through the sound of stumbling and rustle of fabric, a man's voice can be heard...]

Dearest me. Looks as though I've woken in someone's room...

Rather embarrassing... but I suppose I should- What's this?

...

Oh! This is one of those strange devices, isn't it?

Excuse me. If there happens to be someone who's able to hear me and

Nope, this is yer room now. Get comfy. From what I've heard, we ain't gettin' off any time soon.

[Voice]

[dukealla]

My apologies, sir. Perhaps you have me mistaken for someone else. I'm Duke D'Aubergine. I don't believe I've won anything... nor do I recall coming here...

[Which isn't new to him but still... if he WON something, he should remember]

[Voice]

[standardpackage]

I think I'd know a voice like yers, Kid. An' this ain't no 'prize ship', there's some weird stuff here.
[Pause.]
Where are ya from?

[Voice]

[dukealla]

Weird? How is that so? Sounds interesting...

Ah. That question might need a bit more explanation than you may have time for, good sir.

[ixgideonxi]

Well, you're not on the wrong vessel. You're exactly where the captain want you to be and depending on your take on the situation, this is either a good or a bad thing.

Most passengers lean towards the latter.

[dukealla]

Ah, good day to you, sir.

The Captain of this fine ship has chosen us all to sail with him? That doesn't sound so bad, if you ask me...

Then again I've yet to leave this room...

[ixgideonxi]

Well, see, the Captain's a bit... insane, to put it bluntly. Lots of weird shit happens on this boat, I'm sure you'll get a taste of it at some point.

[dukealla]

A madman for a captain? Hmmm...

You're the second gent who has mention to me about the strange states this ship experiences. Could you elaborate for me, sir?

[diverged_fate]

Hey, watch out for those boarding pass guys.

[dukealla]

Oh dear...

What happens to those without a pass?

Is it true they'll send you into the waters? I'm embarrassed to say how terrible of a swimmer I am but I do sink like a rock, unfortunately.

[diverged_fate]

Don't worry about it too much. Just punch them in the face when they show up to toss you overboard.

I have a feeling I'll be using this icon at you all night...

[dukealla]

I-I don't wish to hurt anyone, Sir.

If I simply socked any gent who wished to toss me off a boat, or any other object, I wouldn't be much of a Duke, now would I?

[gunsandhonor]

I... really don't think the boarding pass is necessary.

[dukealla]

[Ok, now hes confused.]

I don't mean to debate, but that wouldn't make much sense... if it is true that we are indeed upon a vessel... then one would require proof to be aboard, no?

[gunsandhonor]

No. No one's got one. You're just... abducted, is the best word I've got for it.

[dukealla]

Abducted?

So, I didn't just come here....

[Wait...]

Excuse me, sir. Do you wake to find yourself in random places as well, or just upon this vessel?

[ntjstapwn]

I'm pretty sure none of us have boarding passes.

[dukealla]

How could that be so...? Are we not upon a vessel...?

[ntjstapwn]

Its not your typical cruise ship. We're not here of our own choice, nor can we leave. If anything, the comm is the closest thing we have to boarding passes.

[dukealla]

Hm, I've never been in a world where people are trapped upon a single boat...

If what you're saying is correct, then this device is my boarding pass?
