[ hi gregor

owner is just going to walk up to him and give a bow. ]

Hello, we have not yet met, correct? It seems like we will be sharing a ship for two months.

Oh, you don't have to do that-

[no need to bow to him. it's a little uncomfortable... owner gets a wave in response, though it's a smart one, the motion more like he's used to a salute.]

Name's Gregor. Pleasure workin' with you.

Good to meet you, Gregor-sama. You may call me Owner.

[ well. unfortunately owner loves to bow so he will have to get used to that. ]

... wow, I guess we are coworkers now, then.

Just Gregor's fine-- no need to get all formal, eh, pal?

[please... he can get used to the bowing, at least.]

Sounds like they mean for all of us to be coworkers.

I am always formal.

[ you're all killing him here ]

Apparently... do you remember signing a contract?

Not for this company. So long as it doesn't interfere with my other employment contract, it should be fine...

It causes me some concern. The implication is that they can't get workers normally, so they had to resort to this.

Think what they really need is to abduct a few marketing managers.

... a few people here seem like they could fit.

[ margaret is out there ]

Probably could, eh? But I doubt they're gonna send the rest of us back.

[it's. fine.]

Allegedly, they cannot abandon the current course to take us back to our homes.

And they didn't bother waking us up until we were too far out.

[figures.]

That was rather convenient of them, yes. Although I am sure they have an excuse for it as well.

They're a company, they've got excuses for things that haven't even happened yet.

... is your other company okay?

Eh? That's how they all are.

The world is such a complicated place...

You don't run into it much?

I run my own inn. It is a small staff, and I do not leave it too often, so I don't usually deal with the corporate world.

Keep it that way if you can help it. There's nothing in the corporate world worth dealing with.

... unfortunately, thanks to our current employers, I cannot hide from it.

[ where is the ceo. let them talk ]

Two months of it oughta be enough of it for years, then.

You are fairly calm about this whole situation.

We've seen... I don't know about weirder, but more dangerous, certainly.

Ah.

... what kind of company did you work for?
