Wow, this ship is huge!

[Elmer's found himself in the first class section of the Gargantuan, and is wandering cheerfully through the halls - peeking through any carelessly open doors, looking out every window he comes across...he's obviously not a first class passenger though. Maybe second. (He's a stowaway.)]

I wonder how many passengers are here? A hundred? A thousand! Just imagine a ship with ten thousand passengers on it! Haha, but there couldn't possibly be a ship that huge. Not even this one. [He pats the nearest wall as if this were a horse and not...a gigantic inanimate object.]

Hm, I wonder where the kitchens might be...

Hey, there's never been a ship like this in all of history! It's okay if it blows your mind.

[undespairing]

Oh well in that case--has it blown yours yet?

[errandry]

I've had weeks to get used to it, I've got job immunity!

[undespairing]

Well then you're the perfect choice to help me uncover those secrets. For all I know, you've already uncovered them!

[errandry]

You'll never get me to betray my cause to an outsider! You're gonna have to be sworn to secrecy if you wanna get the tour.

[undespairing]

...My lips are sealed! Cross my heart and hope to die! [He's even doing those heart-crossing motions!]

[errandry]

Guess that's gonna have to cover it! What do you wanna see, anyway?

[undespairing]

The whole ship.

[errandry]

Still gotta start somewhere!

[undespairing]

Oh, well...we can start in first class and work our way down!

[errandry]

Sounds like a plan! We're gonna have to be pretty quiet over there, though.

[undespairing]

They won't even notice we're there! Or maybe we could try to blend in, that'd be interesting.

[errandry]

[ looks at Elmer.

looks at himself. ]

Iiiiii dunno if we've got the clothes for that.

[undespairing]

......You think I could pretend I work here?

[errandry]

[ bad question. he's now squinting at Elmer a bit, sizing him up. :|a ]

I dunno—hey, what level of guest'd you say you were?

[undespairing]

I didn't! But I'm second class.

[he looks it, right? totally looks it.]

[errandry]

You oughta be able to get away with walking around in first-class as long as they think you're just passing through...

[undespairing]

They don't like seeing us around, huh?

[errandry]

They paid a lot of money for peace, I guess.

[undespairing]

Peace and quiet! I'm more into noise and fun, myself.

[errandry]

Yeah, I can tell. You wanna start with the top deck and work our way down?

[undespairing]

Sounds good to me!
