[ i checked with char if it was 'too mean' and they said no leave it. ]
I think it is, I'm just not sure I see the appeal.
[ nodd has yet to consider he is not the intended demographic. ]
I like a bad boy, but Mandi I'm having trouble with.

[ he is an asshole that's why i love him so much
huh. well. temenos looks at it, peering over at the display... this is the first time he's ever actually seen a romance novel in his entire catholic life. nodd you are the expert here. ]
...And why's that?

A bit of a weak name. If I was going to be moody and inscrutable, I'd pick something like... Carnegie.

Oo, see. I like that, too. More than Mandi, anyway.
[ that's fine, nodd named a npc that hates him because he was untoward too many times. ]
The protagonist's name could use some work, too.

[ it takes everything within him not to say the first name to come to mind.
fuck that name. ]
How about... Lily? Or--...
[ way to put him on the spot. ]
Sain. Sain would be a great protagonist name. You'd have to pump up the personality, though. What is a 'normie' anyway?

Mandi's the vampire--unless they're both vampires?

Who drinks whom if they're both vampires?

[ temenos is in the medbay!!! like a good boy!! soon after the trial, he disappeared for a little while - however, when nodd comes by, he'll find him resting in one of the cots, writing in his notebook.
he glances up, and then nods to him in greeting. ]
Nodd. Good evening.

Good to see all the bullying got to you.

[ help!!! nodd is allowed to do this, and he smiles a little with it, even. ]
Yes. Though, quite honestly - everyone seems to believe I was being reticent on purpose. I was blocked from healing on Friday, which was my original plan. Truthfully, I find nothing more frustrating than not being able to examine crime scenes myself.
[ his inquisitor eyes >:( ]

You wouldn't feel limited? There's a lot here that seems to rely on having some knowledge of the advanced tech.
[ he only recently figured out you can call it 'tech' and not the whole 'technology' ]

Not necessarily, no. That is the benefit of this being a team exercise, in some regards - each of us has different expertise.
[ see: shoma ]
But observing a crime scene is something I have done quite often. Human behavior remains the same no matter the setting.

[ yes, they do still have the 12 yo to depend on. ]
You're a detective? Or very unlucky?

As the Inquisitor, you've probably met some actual murderers.
[ other than dahut, none of them really had the time to get to know scien and whether or not he'd kill. eunhyuk, though. ]

[ gazes at his canon ]
...Yes, several. [ temenos is quiet for a moment, as he looks down at his hands. ] And I have seen good people fall at the hands of them, too.
Many of those I dealt with were manipulated by someone above them. Not with magic, or with [ airquotes ] "nanites", but simply by the manipulative tactics of a charismatic individual with poor intentions. So often, there is always a larger problem - but it makes the impact of the smaller problems no less cratering.

[ pausing for private reflection. nodd has certainly been fooled before. ]
In those cases, there was a motive, though, yes? Even if it wasn't the literal killer's.

Just another Monday on the good ol' Eudora.
[ said after kicking the door that has locked them tight in the new hippitea shop. he murmurs ] Sorry. [ to one of the rabbit robots that was maybe caught off guard.
today, nodd's hair has grown to floor-length and has been resistant to blades. it's braided and tucked into his belt. ]

[ nodd you are Styling!!!! temenos sits back against one of the tables, looking around the rabbity shop with an expression that's best described as unimpressed. his own body changes seem to mostly just be the fact that his eyes have rather suddenly changed from their normal tealish green to a very bright, unnatural blue as he investigates the locked door. ]
I'm beginning to grow rather tired of locked doors on this ship.
