Wonder about the new worldgen settings, especially if we were able to start a fort straight off.

Scream out "SAUSAGE EGGS!" and punch walls.

You begin to think about how odd it was that DF 1.5.23 didn't need to worldgen, when suddenly you are struck with the bizarre urge to scream "SAUSAGE EGGS!" and punch the walls. You do so, screaming "SAUSAGE EGGS!" while punching the wa-- Oops, you just punched the air where your wall ought to have been, and have overbalanced. Luckily, the robot swiftly steadies you and sets you on your feet.

"Please be careful, Sir, Madam or Thing. kindly do not attempt to break your limbs. It would be not be good for for StarLight Lines' reputation. If you are hungry, as your riotous exclamation seemed to indicate, I can assure you that food and drink will be provided, once you are checked in. Please follow me, and we'll be off, straight away."

Well, do we folllow?

Yeah, we'll follow.

Ponder on the current universe's status on the Sliding scale of sensicality vs silliness.

You ascend the stairs into the small lift on the side of this colossal thing, this silver-plated megalith, this glorious artifact, and the door closes behind you. The lift seems rather drab compared to the rest of this wondrous thing.

"Terribly sorry about having to use the service elevator, Sir, Madam or Thing," The robot remarks. "It's our maiden voyage, you see, and the ship has.. well, it's lost it's mind, and so has most of it's crew. Including me, he, he. Though, i do have my lucid moments. I only wish i knew that this was one of them." He pauses, and waves his fingers in the air near the lift controls. "Oh look, things are going from bad to worse! I can't even find the buttons, now. Can you help me? Top button. Terribly sorry, it's my cell point settings, you see. I don't suppose you do see, but it is my cell point settings, anyway."

You press the button, and the service elevator begins to glide up, and up, and up. As you ascend, the robot continues to jabber about why they're bringing you on board, and such like that. You, however, ignore all of his unimportant chatter, and instead consider how silly this world is. You figure that would have to place it near the silly end of the scale, with the collected works of Duncan Eves, a popular comedic Sci-Fi writer.

Give an aside glance, then use it to determine where the fourth wall is. Look in the direction of the fourth wall to see if there's any useful information on it, like a channel logo in the corner.

You turn around, and find that the fourth wall of this elevator is also a door, which presumably opens inwards.

The door is a uniform sheet of dull grey metal, broken only by a glass window, through which you see the outer wall of the ship rushing past. Judging from the length of the journey and the speed that the lift is rising, you guess that this ship is at least a mile high.

After what seems like an eternity, in which you defeat a forgotten beast and fend off 12 goblin sieges (DF 1.5.23 is AMAZING!), and after the robot has finished his boring "err.."-filled monologue, the lift grinds to a halt, and the door behind you opens up to an opulent circular room, with tiled floor and walls and a grand, vaulted ceiling. Directly ahead is a desk, on which sits a box with a button on top, to your left is a box with an opaque glass front, and in between the two is a door decorated with art-deco motifs in brass. Lampstands line the edge of the room.

"Well, go on," the robot behind you says. "Go check in at the front desk!"

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.

Start headbanging while flailing your arms up and down and violently screaming "SAUSAGE EGGS!"

Punching the front desk, you jar the box with the button, causing it to unfold, and revealing that it is another robot, whose torso is attached to the desk. In appearance, it is similar to a desk lamp, in that it's head is made of a concave piece of metal, and it's eyes glow like light-bulbs. As soon as the robot has unfolded, you are once again struck by the urge to flail about wildly while screaming the names of breakfast food. This time, however, how are able to suppress it.

The robot on the desk regards you severely for a few moments, before saying: "Welcome, Guest number, uh.. One, to the most Glamorous Galactic Cruise Ship experience in the whole of the Space-Time Continuum, the Starship Olympic, the ship that cannot possibly go wrong. HA! My name is Drewbish, Marsinta Drewbish. I am the DeskBot. Do you have a resevation?"
