As im walking up the stairs, i notice a window with H3K tied to a chair. Side quest, i guess. I really dont know where the room could be located. He notices me and overreacts a lot, which is why i decide to set this "side quest" to my "main quest". I check most of the doors and eventually, i find the room with him. I untie him and ask him:
"why are they trying to kidnap us?"
-"Well, i'm actually not sure but they're really bad at kidnapping right now."
-"heh, sure. we need to get out of here. do you know how to control a ship?"
-"Nope."
-"guess then we'll have to see where this boat goes and then do something from there on."
-"Yeah sure."
-"i really feel like theyre trying to get us to somewhere far away and leave us there to try to survive and die in the process."
-"Whoa, well lets make sure that doesnt happen."
Suddenly, we hear the ship stop. "seems like we hit the final destination. we need to hide, now!"
We both find a hiding spot. H3K found a fridge that doesnt work and i find an empty closet. We both hide and hope noone finds us.

We hear footsteps. Our hearts are beating. We're trying our best not to make noise. Eventually, we hear someone scream:
"CHILDREN, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?"
There are so many things wrong with this sentence. First, are we getting adopted? We sure aren't! That's just dumb and we both arent 3 year olds now. Like really. Who calls their kidnapped people children? Thats so dumb. Second, why are you asking that question? If we arent on our spots, that means we escaped, and that means we're hiding in the ship. And just when i thought that, as mind reading magic, i heard another scream:
"IF YOURE PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK WITH ME, YOU DONT KNOW WHO YOURE PLAYING AGAINST!"
Shit. Shit, shit shit shit. Shit shit shit do j not know. Shit do i fucking not know who im fighting against. Im like a squirrel in a forest out of wolves only right now. If someone doesnt find me now, they will eventually later. If they dont later, they will do later later. If they dont find me later later, they'll you get the point. Im like the innocent rabbit in a tapeworm farm. Wait ew, tapeworm farm? Fuck. My heart was beating so much at that point, someone who would say "you dont know who youre playing against" would find me like 10 minutes ago. But no, i heard footsteps and footsteps, louder and quiter. Like, dude, im in the closet! The worst hiding spot! Altrough H3K's spot is actually cool, a non-working fridge. I just hope that guy doesnt know it doesnt work.

7:40PM. At this point im getting tired of this hide and seek game and want to give up, but i still try my best to hide. After a while, the guy says: "Fuck it, if they arent here, theyre probably outside."
At that moment, i felt like the happiest person in the world. Thank you, random kidnapper guy! Yes we're outside! Go outside and try to find us there! Thank you for ending this horror silence game! After a while i get out of the closet and so does H3K, getting out of his fridge. Boy this took long, now time to somehow get home.
