Duncan POV:

Being separated from Kit was the worst thing that happened to me. Wait no-being separated from Violet was the worst thing that happened. I wish she and her siblings could have joined us. I miss them. Especially Vi. I can tell Isadora misses them too, but she won't come clean about it. Girls. Always hiding their feelings. Unlike some people. But on the other hand, we were reunited with Quigley! Great thing, although there's something off about him. Really off. I mean, he still likes cartography, but something must have happened when he was separated. I miss Violet. Her inventing antics, brown hair, sparkling eyes, her ribbon, even her annoying habit of inventing things randomly.

Quigley told us that he met the Baudelaires as well. Great.

Just great. He'll steal her, like how he stole everything from me. I can relate to Esme when she talked about the Baudelaire mother stealing from her.

Isadora's POV:

Klaus. That's all I can think about. Writing couplets about him and carving 'I heart KB' into my commonplace book seems stupid now I think about it. Why did I write that? What if he finds out? Oh yeah, Esme shot our books with a harpoon gun. No need to worry about that. I can tell Duncan loves Violet, he tried to hide it but it keeps showing. He keeps wearing something purple everyday. Yesterday it was a violet sweater. Quigley likes her too; they don't call me 'Heart-Reader' for nothing!

We arrived on board the Great Unknown. Turns out, it's actually a floating underwater VFD hotel. I get a room to myself while Duncan and Quigley share one. They said that their mission is to find the Baudelaires, and maybe they will! I really, really, really hope they find them. I know that the Quagmire triplets won't be the same without the Baudelaire children.

Quigley's POV:

I don't think about Violet as much as Duncan does, but she will always be on my mind. She is on my mind. All. The. Time.

Duncan, Izzy and me arrived on board the Great Unknown. They told us that the name of the hotel is actually Snicket Resorts and Casino, and that our parents and the Baudelaires' parents were regulars. No wonder they kept disappearing. I miss Mother and Father. This tall man walked up to us and introduced himself as Lemony Snicket. I kinda remember him, our parents had him over for dinner one night. I don't know why I keep thinking about it, but I wonder whether I should quit VFD and switch sides. I don't know.

Nobody's POV:

Lemony escorted the triplets to their rooms. "Isadora, this is your room, and Duncan and Quigley will share the room next door. Capiche?" Duncan nodded. "Capiche." The trio melted off into their rooms.

Duncan and Quigley opened the door and gasped. It was luxurious, better than anything they had seen before. A chandelier hung in the center of the ceiling, and a writing desk was tucked into one corner, perfect for journaling or mapmaking. There was a small wardrobe and cupboard, and inside were more than enough materials for their hobbies. Trailing a finger over a figurine while Quigley unpacked the trunk at the foot of his bed engraved with the initials "Q.Q", he shouted. "QUIGLEYYY!" The bookshelf the figurine had sat on swiveled around, taking Duncan with it. Quigley waited for the figurine to come back and then followed him.
