So there's been a little hiccup in reality and you're stuck in a liminal space, all alone, until the caretakers of this universe fix everything. They can offer you an "accommodations humans are accustomed to await in" and you get to pick where you're going to spend a very small amount of real time that will however feel like about a week of time passing to you...
The environs work exactly as you'd expect them to, or close, it being an amalgamation of what you think things should be and what the caretakers think should be based on their grasp of human cultures. You will be the only person on there for the whole duration, everything else just appears as if put there and operated by human hands.
What's it going to be?
- A modern municipal sleeper train (15%, 11 votes)
- An entire ocean liner (27%, 19 votes)
- An intercontinental aeroplane (1%, 1 vote)
- A really kitted out caravan (30%, 21 votes)
- A sleeper train circa 1940 (24%, 17 votes)

That said, I figure an old sleeper train would be big and comfortable enough to have fun and do an explore in.

in reply to Katzentratschen • • •@katzentratschen It's my pet theory, and probably someone else's, that they pay the writers and everyone to make a really solid first season, and then deliberately make it much more shit the second season, so they can milk more viewer money from both, but don't have to pay all the workers more because of the deal they had that first 2 seasons paid out a lump sum, and 3rd would pay a slice of the profits, but they can cancel because "viewership dropped" - and world building and starting with a bang is easier than writing an actually compelling ending, or a good long-running series, and the writer's rooms were incredibly underpaid.
I don't remember what the actual legal scenario was, but a lot of industry professionals were very mad about it!

in reply to Sini Tuulia • •@Sini Tuulia I was thinking 1940s sleeper train, but only if they somehow arrange the toilet situation to work, well, better than it would on an actual sleeper train from the 1940s that is stopped in a station.
But I'd expect them to do so, being the caretakers of the universe and everything.

And there's a clearly defined border. If I open the door of the camper and step outside, do I risk leaving this reality and being stuck in the void forever?

The ship might even have a cinema!

I hope it has a library.
