Place · Book 1, Dungeon Crawler Carl

Production trailers

Boats on the winter ocean where crawlers are held between floors while a holographic studio is projected around them for interviews. Menus go dark, the sets are bigger than the rooms, and nothing on the couch is quite real except the cat treats.

Arc

Odette's yacht with its blue velvet green room (ch. 27–ch. 29, epilogue), and Senegal Production Systems' rental closet on a smaller, rougher boat (ch. 41–ch. 43). Menus off, holograms on, real fruit, drugged treats, a porthole over the toilet showing stars over calm water. Crawlers may be taken between stairwells without asking; at any other time the request goes through Zev (ch. 36).
