Earlier Mischief gave you new crew members, yes that includes you
Captain, a tour of the ship.  He showed you all the cat areas and places
that you'd normally visit on a day to day basis.  Today, I'm gong to
show you around the hoomins' areas.

As you can see their quarters are in the stern of the ship on the second
deck.  This is because they have to go out and run things when it is wet
and we invoke the rain claws.  The rain claws says that if the hoomins
try to make us run the ship when it rains, we use our claws.  Actually,
we don't have to go into the out anytime we don't want to.  Not only
that, but the fat wench has to be handy to the galley when she makes our
meals.  She also has a small galley in here that she cooks things for
the hoomins to eat, but that is because she says that she refuses to eat
any foods that smell and taste like mouse, fish, or cat food.  She is so
silly sometimes.

The central area here is a combination of galley and sitting room.  You
can see that the hoomins like their comfort, too.  They don't mind us
sleeping on their sofas and chairs but say that we can't fight over
them.  The cat condo/tree/climbing set up in the corner is for anyone
who wants to use them.  Again, no fighting.  The galley has a little
stove, microwave, and full sized refrigerator.  That closet thing over
there is the pantry.  It is full of stuff that the hoomins say we can't
have.  The other refrigerator beside the pantry isn't a refrigerator,
it's a freezer.  The hoomins put foods in there that might be bad if
they get warm too soon.

Those two rooms on the port, that's left, side are the quarters for the
blonde wench and guest quarters.  There is room for four people there,
but only one person is using the quarters right now.  If you look inside
you can see a bed bolted into an alcove on each side of the cabin.  Next
to them and the door are two of what the fat wench calls arm waas.  They
have a closet on the top part and drawers on the bottom.  Between the
beds are two bookcases and a desk.  You can see that the blonde wench
has already moved some of her favorite posters in and put them on the wall.

Next to the Blonde Wench's room is a litter and cleaning room that the
hoomins call "the head."  I haven't seen any strange heads in there, but
I'm not looking, just in case.  They aren't like Baffrooms in land
houses, as fresh water has to be conserved.  That means we can't us a
lot of it.

In the stern part, yes that's rear of the ship Captain, is the fat wench
and Paw Rob's quarters.  We had the hoomin quarters remodeled this
winter as the hoomins were complaining that they couldn't live with cat
furniture.  I still can't see why.  As we open the door, you'll see that
the far wall has a bank of windows.  The designer wanted to put a huge
porthole in there but both the fat wench and I said no.  She said it
would make her feel like she was in a bubble and i said it would be like
having a target set into the stern of the ship.  The fat wench said that
this would be in keeping with the dignity of a proper ship and look like
a British Man O War.

Under the windows is the bed.  Yes it is big.  It's called a King sized
bed.  Paw Rob and the fat wench have a queen sized at home, but insisted
on a king sized bed because so many cats like to join them.  The bamboo,
red, and gold decor is also the fat wench's idea.  She won't let me
scratch the bamboo.  On each side of the bed are night stands where the
fat wench keeps found water.  She is very accommodating that way.  She's
been threatening to get a water bottle, but I don't believe it.  You can
see desks on each side wall, and arm waas for their clothing.  Don't be
surprised by the big bookcase on the wall facing the sitting
room/galley.  Both hoomins love to read and want plenty of books for
when they aren't on duty.

On the starboard side, that's right side for you landlubbers, are rooms
just like those on the port side.  The one closest to the starboard side
head will be used by Mike and Gem.  The empty rooms are set up so that
hoomin crew members will have a place to stay if they join us.  The fat
wench is hoping that a few of the group want to set sail with us as she
says that she gets tired of seeing the same hoomins all the time.
Aren't hoomins funny that way.

So, now that you've seen the hoomin quarters. some ground rules.

1. You can visit the hoomins when you are off duty.
2. You may not fight for any food or sitting spaces.
3. No begging from the hoomins.
4. The fat wench says that you may not hog the bed.  As if we'd listen
to her.
5. Hoomins have first rights to the sitting and sleeping places.  Right.
6.  What I say goes.
