Coincidences are just traps that are harder to see coming. You see most people go "wow this is an amazing coincidence." Not me! I know I just know this a trap that you couldn't possibly have set up but I now know it totally is a trap because I'm smart! And not like totally crazy after years of bad shit happening to me completely with no way of seeing it happening well in advance.
So with this in mind a steamer ship arriving on a deserted island that had no reason for a ship to ever come to magically pick me and Vontresa up despite neither of us calling for help was immediately a trap to me. Sure the people on the ship were nice, they seemed like nice people, but they were totally evil jerks who were somehow in league with what was in the box. I still hadn't seen what was in the box at this point, and apparently no one else but me was entirely concerned about two stranded people alone on an island, one of them coveting a box, the other with a fresh black eye who didn't talk (look part of a trap is getting people to speak, and so I knew to avoid talking so they couldn't do to me whatever they planned on doing!)
Still for all their connection to evil the people were at least nice and invited me and Vontresa on to the ship and even gave us separate quarters (I got shoved in a supply closet, Vontresa got a huge cabin once again proving that this was no coincidence). After getting my quarters I strung up runes all over the place. I knew the evil would come for me, it probably already would have tried to kill me had the ship not arrived, so I knew whatever was in the box would come and I made my preperations. And I was totally right, like usual!
