[ no she has always believed this journey would be a nightmare. the paranoia.

but sure! she's pretty into the biomes that have cute animals to look at! ]

Okay, this place doesn't belong on a ship either, but I'm not complaining this time.

[murdergate]

[ wise. ]

Kinda concerned what's gonna happen to all of them when we arrive at the end. Guess we can take care of them until then.

[thematics]

Unfortunately, we're really not in a position to be playing conservationist with more lives than our own. But ideally we fix whatever's going on and they get to stay here. Get taken care of by...

[ actually this thought is occurring to her for the first time. ]

By whoever runs this place when we're all gone.

[murdergate]

Lot of what-ifs right now. Tomorrow's gonna be a wallop--you saw Viktor came back from the dead?

[ nodd isn't a super gossip so he leaves off that he and lucien are definitely doing some gay shit but meta text wants to make all aware. ]

[thematics]

Oh. Yeah. Crazy, right?

But pretty promising with the implications.

[murdergate]

It's one good thing. Here.

[ offers her the feedbag he's using if she'd like to also feed the deer ]

Maybe someone else will pop in tomorrow.

[thematics]

[ she takes it with a lil nod. she's pretty pleased to feed the animals... wow... ]

I'm not counting on that. But it'll still be good to get everyone's eyes on the same info.

[murdergate]

Yeah. And if the dead really are hanging around and on the HER-MES, then we can get their input either way.

[ so stressful. at least he can pet a fawn. that's something. ]

[thematics]

Just the fact that we've been able to stay in contact is a big deal, considering. We've got a lot of... pieces. Hopefully someone can put them together. Like in trials but with a better outcome.

[murdergate]

I'm not usually the puzzle guy. I'm usually the hit something guy.

[ gets his hip bumped by a goat that's come from who knows where. reaches down to bother its back fur ]

[thematics]

Well, hey. It takes all kinds.

[murdergate]

Yeah, but we all have to become puzzle guys for this one. It's all connected. The tendrils, the glitches--Jeff.

[ if you even EXIST, jeff ]

But we've got some smart kids. Save us, Shoma.

[ petting the 'kid' (the goat, get it) ]

[thematics]

People can solve problems with the wrong solution, sometimes. Idiots can make good plans. Sometimes it's just about brute-forcing it.

Not that we shouldn't try to be smart, but—you know. Just be on your toes.

[murdergate]

[ almost didn't tag this bc we're at 69 comments and nice ]

I'll be a gods-damned ballerina if it gets us somewhere not-mass-terminated.

[thematics]

[ nice ]

I'd pay to see that.

[murdergate]

You'll pay nothing and get your money's worth.

[ dancer he is not ]

[thematics]

Maybe you have a hidden talent.
