Yes, Chef!

[public]

Well, it appears that, for the moment at least, our foodstuffs have been replenished. So to all of you who have been concerned, that's one less thing to worry about.

( private to Emily )

Would whoever absconded with three of my lobsters please return them? Assuming they're still alive, that is.

Last thing we need around here is some prankster stealing food.

Assuming you're still around, mate-

5 of my staff have gone missing, along with 3 lobsters. At this point, not sure which is stranger.

To all kitchen staff:

I realize that last night was a traumatic time for all involved, however, we still have work to do. So unless you have a valid excuse of being DEAD, I fully expect to see you back at work immediately if not sooner. The schedule is still as set at the start of the cruise, and until we are docked, we still have passengers to feed.

Sincerely,
Chef Blackthorne

Good day, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you have enjoyed your stay with us so far. Here is the menu for dinner service tonight.

( Fine dining behind the cut )

The captain has also asked me to remind you that tours of the kitchen may be arranged through the concierge, where available times are posted. 24 Hour Notice required.

We here at Circean Delight sincerely hope that you will enjoy the remainder of your stay aboard ship, and wish you Bon Appetit!

[private message to the captain]
If any of these bloody passengers step one foot out of line and cause any inconvenience to myself or my brigade, I am shutting this fucking tour idea down. My job is chef de cuisine, not baby-sitter to a bunch of stupid gits on holiday.
