That would definitely leave them out of it.
Maybe sometimes, Ark could simply dock without forbidding people from getting on or off.
But at other times, she might only bring one or two people, or a few people, to have some fun first. After laying the groundwork, they could slowly get acquainted.

The meal lasted quite a while.
After three rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
it was already around eight or nine o'clock.
"Little Griseo! Are you free tomorrow...? Let's go to the amusement park!" Sister Ling spoke in her crisp voice and, under her elder sister's hesitant gaze, came to Little Griseo's side and asked with a radiant smile.
"Sure." Little Griseo naturally had no objections.
The others had more or less seen through it as well.
Sakura actually wanted to get closer to Little Griseo, but she was somewhat shy by nature. Ling also liked Little Griseo and was willing to help her sister get closer to her, so she took advantage of being a child and impatiently stole the first move.
Although Mobius and the others were somewhat helpless, they couldn't really compete with Ling over something like this, could they?
Even if this was the Goddess Competition, where no one could afford to yield,
that was something for later.
If they were already so tense at a time like this,
wouldn't that seem rather petty? What was the point?
"But... I want to bring one more person along. Is that okay?" Little Griseo gently shared her candy with Ling.
Ling froze for a moment, then smiled sweetly, clearly not minding.
