Alright, now that Thoth has posted an official takedown notice (better luck next time!) I'mma post my actual thoughts on this page: Not expected. At all. perhaps the destination is somewhere etherical, hence 'torn' sea? Anyway, the art style in the second image is very good. I like how the lines fade, suggesting excitement. (I'm sure there's a better way to put that.)
Also, who can we identify besides Kat, Annie and Paz?

I'm excited about this chapter! Do you think it'll just be for this chapter, or might it be a bit longer?

Ok I did not see this coming...
Summer holidays, yes, cruise organised by Lindsey?..
Also if people are saying we are too early for the end of the year (have all previous ones been a set length?) Then a cruise has plenty of potential for multiple chapters. I still think that this chapter will turn out to be a breaking point between Kat and Annie though. Kat choosing make-out sessions with Paz over investigating whether Steadman ever visited the tropical island as well.

I like to imagine she typed in all of that, like the [PAUSE] a few chapters back.

Yeah, did not see this coming. At all. As in, was not even in the realm of the realm of thinking about it.

Well, someone replied to the other thread first, so it was on top. At least I think so. On the IRC we have a bot that posts new replies, which is useful in situations like this.

Well, we've been talking about shipping recently. Turns out everyone is being shipped!
This pun was pointed out by Mausolus on the IRC (goes by Kmar on the forums) not me.

Don't know if this was discussed yesterday, but does this mean Annie will actually be leaving the Court/Forest area for the first time since she arrived? Or does the court actually a sea big enough to have a real cruise. Or is it some sort of simulation (a la Dr Disaster)? Well, someone replied to the other thread first, so it was on top. At least I think so. On the IRC we have a bot that posts new replies, which is useful in situations like this. You can also look at the URLs.

Simulation or not, is it just the girls, or is Bud inviting his gang along as well? Who else is going on the cruise?

Who else is going on the cruise? *hoping for another Faraway Morning It is implied (but no means certain) that it's just Rising Tenth-Years. So, unfortunately, Parley and Smitty seem to be out for this chapter. Or is it some sort of simulation (a la Dr Disaster)? The thought did cross my mind. And personally I don't think the Court has that big of a sea, if only because that would make this chapter a redo of Residential. Though, I wonder what happens if there's a Court/Forest conflict while the Forest Medium is away? Or, more insidiously, if the Headmaster planned the cruise for exactly that reason?

Not being a native english speaker I immediately came her to ask what an "inotation" is. Then I read the thread title.
Okay, I guess even giant crabs make spelling mistakes when typing.

"Girls, now that summer is here and you will be moving into year ten..."
It's almost as if Tom noticed that there has been some discussion on how old the characters are. (I know that that is unlikely due to his buffer).

Huh I missed that. That's a rare occurrence (Tom misspelling, not me missing it). Should I change the thread title?

He'll probably change it soon enough if it wasn't intentional.

Finally, the cruise ship chapter.
Maybe now we can shed some light on where the hell the Court actually is.

The simulation thing sounds quite plausible actually. On this page there are only girls I think, but that's not much to go on.
Given this context and the torn photo on the title page, I've got two guesses: The torn photograph from the vacation might mean that something bad is going to happen between any two characters and someone destroys a picture of a formerly treasured moment. OR Someone is going to go all Moses and the sea is literally going to be torn apart.

I don't think this is a simulation. For one they're not wearing the spacemonauts suits, which are (presumably) needed to be able to feel things in the simulation. We've seen that you can enter a simulation without them, but it would be a rather lame cruise if you can't even touch anything. Also some of the girls have luggage with them. There's no point in burden yourself with that in a simulation.

William, Jack, etc would be interesting to have a long on the cruise but I'm hoping it stays pretty upbeat rather than...just strange like that chapter got. Also, I'd like to quote the kids Renard scared earlier "Ahhh! I absolutely did not expect this!"

I can predict some Annie-Kat tension coming. Actually, I'm looking forward to that. It seems to me to be essential for their growing up to build a new, less symbiotic relationship.
