[Oh, it's somebody's nightmare, alright. Only time will tell whose!!!]

If you want the full history, I could give it to you, but suffice it to say that the Captain in charge of the ship has a firm grasp on chaos magic and loves trying to be funny.

[Whether or not he is funny kind of depends on your sense of humor...]

The shop itself doesn't provide anything directly to the Captain, as far as I'm aware. If it does, it would have to be... experiences, I suppose. That's primarily what he takes from us in exchange for all of this. [Not to imply that it's a fair trade...]
