    I would just go out and lucky nothing terrible as rape or better-die pain will happen to me. If is something ok, like being ugly or killing the people I have sex with I would just not have kids, so end of problem or just commit suicide if is too bad :blobhero::blobsweat:

    |.o) I am very good at staying indoors. Hmm... If my mother never mistreated me, I probably wouldn't leave the boat.

    1. Would you ever leave the boat?
    Yes.
    2. At what age would you decide to leave the boat if your mom never explained herself?
    Probably 17. That’s when I started to do more stuff without telling my parents.
    3. If you left the boat for 5 minutes and nothing bad happened, would you leave the boat for a longer period next time?

    If nothing happened I would ask my mom about it and be much more aggressive (not physically) while using this as evidence as to why she is wrong and expect answers.
    4. When you were growing up, did you listen to you parents?
    I did and I still do, after all I still live in their house. I will listen to them to a certain extent. If they lecture me about something I will probably take it as their opinion not law lol but they don’t know that. For example, politics. But I don’t really do anything that effects them that they disagree with, for example, smoking. If it’s something like what classes I should take, where can I get a job, or can I buy this (I’m not randomly spending they’re money)? I don’t really ask them. Honestly I really only ask them things if it involves them. For example, can a friend come over? But not can I hang out with a friend? The difference is the first one definitely involves them (if they are at home) while the second doesn’t necessarily involve them.

    My mom told my siblings "If everyone jumped of the roof would you do it too". She tried that with me once, but I jumped off the roof to win at hide and seek when I was less then 10. So I would have run off the boat fairly young.

    1. Probably, yes. If yes, then:
    2. 21-23.
    3. Yes.
    4. Yes.

    I'm still waiting for the plot twist of this being the boat of the dead or the other way around.
    I wonder if it's a biological thing or a existential thing that would be "killing" me.

    1. Would you ever leave the boat?
    Perhaps

    2. At what age would you decide to leave the boat if your mom never explained herself?
    18

    3. If you left the boat for 5 minutes and nothing bad happened, would you leave the boat for a longer period next time?
    Yes

    4. When you were growing up, did you listen to your parents?
    Yes I did, but I also got really good at figuring out how to get answers out of them, as well as ways to have reasonable conversations with them. If I were in this situation, I would straight up just tell her, "If you don't explain to me the reason for this restriction, I will leave the boat right away. Tell me." And then leave the boat if she continues to avoid explaining. By that point if she still doesn't tell me, I can infer one of two things: She either doesn't care about my safety or it's not actually dangerous to leave the boat. I often see people talk about being raised by narcissistic parents, and I find that the easiest way to deal with someone manipulative is to be manipulative. Luckily I was given good parents that aren't too bad.

    Another isekai plot? Does my hair glow bright and stretch for 70 feet?

    1. Why not? To coin an old term, YOLO, though I guess this would be YOLT, since it's the second time I'm alive.

    2. 14 seems like a good time. That's when the adventures happen, right? Wait, it's an isekai. I should be 10.

    3. Sure. Test the bounds of life and all that.

    4. Yep.

    1) Mmmmmm, I'm unsure. She says I'm not ready to know yet, so I guess I would wait until I'm ready to know, and after hearing it I would decide on it.
    If it took too long though, I would probably tell her that either she told me the reason, or I would leave the boat on the next day.

    2) Not sure without being in the situation as I wouldn't be able to measure my frustration properly... My guess is in the mid-twenties.

    3) Probably.

    4) Not by much, I didn't care for them much back then.

    Sometime around adulthood I masturbate, off the side of the boat for less cleanup, so much my mom either asks me to leave the boat or explains it all.

    Well as a kid I did run around a lot and didn't listen well, so I probably left the boot as soon I was physically able to. My guess is that I left the boot at the age of 2.

    1) Yes.
    2) Not sure but pretty quickly.
    3) Yes
    4) Most of the time my parents didn't have many rules, but those they did were broken often.

    This is as hard a question as it is easy, because I have to put myself in the mindset of someone who’s lived on a boat for years. Hmmm....

    1. Would you ever leave the boat?
    I would definitely tiptoe on shore just for sheer curiosity and then fall right over after not being used to “solid ground” for 16+ years. Deciding that the land itself was a bane upon my existence, I’ll run back to the “stability” of the boat and stay there instead. I am a chicken and mom’s never been wrong so far!

    2. At what age would you decide to leave the boat if your mom never explained herself?
    Early teens for sure because I’m a cautious kind of chicken.

    3. If you left the boat for 5 minutes and nothing bad happened, would you leave the boat for a longer period next time?
    Probably not unless I got distracted by something (for example, a sweets vendor selling something delicious on shore juuuust out of reach). That’s right, my downfall would probably be food. Mom, we should really get delivery more often for takeout purposes.

    4. When you were growing up, did you listen to you parents?
    Absolutely, except when it came to candy. With the way the curse works, I will probably die a tragic death eating hotpot in a restaurant somewhere.

    At least I won’t die a hungry ghost. :blobsweat_2:
