Zero Escape: VLDR - S.S. Luxury

[Metrion]

Such a humble life; admirable.

[Metrion]

Spy has a grip on his own life, as far as I am aware.

[XerxesLeFan]

I just want off Mr. Bones wild ride, and I don't know where the fuck the exit latch is.

[Arcthurus]

(i actually typed this one)
Do you know what I find most attractive in a woman?

You see, everyone has a preference of what they find attractive. This is a result of many factors, be it an heirloom from evolution, or our own development in life, usually when very young and hormones are flowing the strongest. What you will find in most adult males is that they favor the bosom, or the buttocks, but not too far from the top of the list are things like thighs, or hair. Only here and there you will find something more unusual, such as feet, often linked to an experience when teenagers.

In my case, it would be the hands.
You see, when I was a kid, I saw Mona Lisa from my grammar school art book. The first time I saw her, with hands on her knee... how do I say this... It is a bit crude, but... I had a boner.

So yes, the answer is hands.
I'll be frank, I'm not too interested in anything else. Hands just have enough charm on it's own for a whole woman. It might sound strange, but to me, they're all I really care about. Their soft skin, the length of the fingers, the delicacy of the palm... Rings are not always a part of it but they're something exciting on their own. If it were up to me, I'd date just the hands themselves. Heheh...

And it's worked out for me so far. Turns out, it is up to me, if I'm willing to put in the legwork. Fortunately, I've got a certain gift just for that. It's proved to be very... handy.


I hope that clears it all up. We are now, after Kiara died, all but a sausage party. So, I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. But of course, why would you believe me?

[Multiuniverse]

Spy has a grip on his own life, as far as I am aware.

That is given that Kiara didn't lie

[XerxesLeFan]

Oh fuck Shia's straight.

[Nellyfox]

Hemmingway materializes a grenade.

Parka takes out a wrench.

Dross moves out of the way, opting to sit against one of the closed stateroom doors.

Hemmingway throws the grenade and his notebook into the crowd. The room fills with a blinding light...

Spoiler: When the light dissipates --

Hemmingway and the notebook are gone.

Kiara is standing, her stomach closed up. She seems perfectly healthy.

There are razor sharp cards all over the floor. Gmir, Parka, Shiakira, Terry, and Spy all have one or two cuts on their arms.

The two functioning ferret-bots now appear to be broken.

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

Sorry for the scare.

[Nellyfox]

Kiara disappears.

[Arcthurus]

Fuck.

[XerxesLeFan]

H-Hummingbird?

Kiara?

[Schultz128]

Spy is a puppet. Stopping me from ending Terry isn't something they'd do.

[Multiuniverse]

Oh Fredrick and Frederick
You have died the most honourable of death
May no one disturb your slumber ever again

[Metrion]

Ah yes. A temporary conclusion.

What now?

[Schultz128]

Conclusion? No.

[Metrion]

Then what, oh man of frost?

[Schultz128]

Gmir, you sense?

[Nellyfox]

Parka bashes Spy in with the wrench, hopefully for good this time.

[Arcthurus]

What good is a bargaining chip you have no control over, frankly.

[Nellyfox]

Shiakira leaves.

Parka takes his nailgun and leaves.

[Multiuniverse]

I'll go check it out

[Nellyfox]

Gmir leaves.

[Nellyfox]

Ahoy everyone!

So it seems we have been caught in a bit of a storm. This means we will not be able to dock at our next remote location today. I will be monitoring the situation, however our travels are more or less halted for now. I apologize for this, however this storm was not predicted when we created the schedule for the cruise. Please stay inside and enjoy the facilities the S.S. Luxury has to offer!

During this time, the Walking Track, Gym, and Boardwalk will be unavailable.

[Nellyfox]

And suddenly, the shenanigans going on during the S.S. Luxury's first cruise ceased. The remaining five proceeded to enjoy the rest of their free cruise without any trouble, though Sand remained on guard and frightened for the first calm day.

When the S.S. Luxury docked, authorities were waiting. They stopped and spoke with Teno, and the remaining four decided to shuffle away, not getting involved in any shenanigans.

Sand figured at this point, Zero Business was going to need a lawyer ferret...
