Those who have passed on during the lockdown mysteriously awaken to find themselves in a strange new location.
A gentle sway shakes the ground they lay on. A salty smell perfumes the air they breathe in through the nose. Upon careful inspection, the situation becomes clear. They're on a fishing boat!
Huddled near one edge of the rather large vessel are two large, man sized shrimps in fishing gear. They don't say or do anything. Standing between them is Saber, dressed in the same fishing gear, with a fishing rod in his hands. He silently sits and waits, staring at the gentle waters that the boat is gently floating on.
Oh, also in the clouds is a projection of what's happening in the space station still! Isn't that funky? A live feed of what the other players are experiencing, projected on a small portion of the sky!

A person looks over the side of the boat, a haunted look in their eyes. "Stupid..."

Delta looks around from where he is.
"Is this the apostles' idea of a cruel joke? Killing me just like that?" The man asked no one in particular. "Guess this is it; My life is fucking officially gone. Game over."

"There's plenty to do here, though, friends!" Saber gleefully exclaims from his comfortable position while fishing. "We can have a good life here, each of us!"

"Says the one who somehow managed to obtains some information on me." Delta snaps at Saber, sounding like he's annoyed and angry.
... What's with the sudden change in Delta's attitude towards Saber, though? Maybe it might have to do with the employee files?

"Yeah, why are we stuck here with Saber?"

"AAAAAAAGH!! We're at sea?!?!?!" Tangie wakes up and screams, immediately attempting to get as far away from the ocean as possible.

"Yeah, why are we stuck here with Saber?" "'Cause we're all dead! Hahahaah!" Saber laughs and laughs and laughs so hard and loud one of the shrimps slap him to knock him back to his senses.

His eyes opened again, and he sighed, staring blindly into the sky above him. And there he would remain, spread-eagled--
"Oi!" He sat up, glaring off into the distance. "Screw you! Just because I'm dead doesn't mean I have to follow the script."
Alright, alright, jeez! Do as you like, then.
Scott snorted angrily.. and immediately rolled over and went to sleep.

Someone walks over and picks up Saber, “Come on guys, help me throw them overboard.”

Scott sat up, suddenly awake, and grabbed Saber by the feet.
"Alright," he said, business-like. "On three. One. Two... Three!"
With a grunt, he went to yeet Saber into the ocean, but a shrimp punched him in the face and knocked him out again. So sad.

The pale employee shot up and looked around, suddenly feeling sick. “Ugh…where am I-“
She noticed the projection in the sky and yelped, “I AM DEAD?” Enid covered her ears with her hands rocking back and forth, very much like the boat she was on. “N-no…. They separated me from him….I didn’t even get a chance to cook him anything…. In the apron too….” She sobbed.

To cope with the crippling silence, Enid reached into her pocket and pulled out a very crude badly done drawing of a certain busy man and a piece of scotch tape and jumped up to tape it onto one of the shrimps faces.
“AHAHA….it’s like he never left…. Oh Monty…..” She said dreamily, clearly taking her death very well.

Someone watched the body of Saber bob in the ocean, “Aaaahhh Freedom. What goes up must come down.”

Scott sat up just in time to watch Monty disappear into a puff of smoke.
"So. Uh. Huh." He thought about what just happened. "Does that mean he'll show up here or...?"

Delta shrugs in response to Scott's question. "Your guess is as good as mine. I don't know."

"Well, since I'm awake again, I guess I'll... go fish?"
A pack of cards popped into his hands with an accompanying flash of smoke and lights, which he frowned at.
"I didn't mean the card game, I meant--- ugh. I know how to play the game better anyway."

Enid kept talking to the shrimp man she put the picture on, not paying attention to the events in the game.

“Scott, you’ve done well in go fish. You are the new leader of this vessel.”
“Delta, try again next time.”

"Why am I the one with that responsibilty? That's not in my job description."
Scott's face screws up as he thinks about it.
"Then again, neither is dying and being reborn in a death game, so new times for everyone."

Enid took some time away from Monty II and looked around, “Wait where did Saber g…. I thought he was here a bit ago….. well good luck Scott ruling the boat and all…..”
“Also, isn’t someone suppose to be joining us soon….. oh well…..”

“Whoever joins us next will not be accepted here unless they prove that they can serve us. Don’t you all agree?”

"I don't care about serving anyone or being served," Scott grumbled to himself under his breath. Loudly. "I just want all of this to just stop. Please."

"That's a dumb idea, if I ever heard one." Delta answered. "I'm starting to think that you are most likely a employee trying too hard to act like you're mighty suspicious."

"Would you look at that!" Delta points out to the others. "24 energy! That means the Apostles didn't work at all this time!"
He made a thinking gesture.
"Wonder if that means we're really close to finding all the five apostles?" He muses at the thought.
