[ nodd has procured a small black glass pipe for smoking with and he's never been more in need of remaining at a steady, constant low-level high. standing in one of the smoking areas by the potted plants and the vents. he'll offer out the pipe if the other passes by and makes the mistake of eye contact. ]
[ turning the pipe to show the charred purple-black insides of the bowl.]
It's called Keys--Umbrella Keys, is the specific breed. It's a type of mushroom from my home. You can take it a lot of ways, but smoking is the most popular.
[ through the mindsoup, despite the drug haze, it can be felt that nodd isn't sure if he agrees; a brief memory of asking the medical officer for the pipe and they knew nothing about the keys. ]
[ NO NO, it actually makes TOTAL sense he wouldn't know that detail until mindshare unless he was listening to every convo with io. that fits. ur fine! ]
But you don't smoke?
[ no pressure behind the words. actual curiosity ]
[[Eunhyuk looks up from where he's sitting, on the far side of the wall, as if he's trying to maintain as much distance as possible between him and the glass. he is still bloody, but it looks like his nosebleed has finally stopped.
WEEK 0; MONDAY
Helps dampen.
no subject
Eunhyuk makes eye contact, and though his expression doesn't change -- stays as neutral as ever -- the emotion evoked from him is clearly curiosity...
Still, he doesn't reach for the pipe,]
I appreciate the offer. Did you get that from one of the officers?
no subject
[ a shrug, he pulls the pipe back and takes a short puff. the smell is quite earthy, reminiscent of a basement carved out by hand.
c'mooon, do a druuuug. ]
no subject
Is it what you usually smoke?
[did they give you alien weed nodd]
no subject
they gave him fantasy mushrooms.]
It is, but I'm open to trying anything once.

no subject
...I guess it's not that strange that they knew what to give you, if our homes are already on our profiles.
[maybe they did a google search about it,]
no subject
I cannot wait for the nanos to settle down.
no subject
It is pretty disorienting to experience. [what an understatement,] But hopefully, not permanent.

WEEK 0; FRIDAY
Eunhyuk is squatting near the floor, not so much poking around as he is just staring, deep in thought.
When exactly did they die? Before we fell asleep? But then someone would have said something, unless whoever was with them was --
He looks up, notices Nodd.]
Hello.
[his emotions are strangely very calm, despite his racing thoughts]
no subject
Hey. Big change of atmosphere from Wednesday.
[ the typical irreverence falters. ]
no subject
[nodd didn't say that as a question, but eunhyuk voices his agreement anyway,]
I expected something bad to happen, but I didn't think it'd be this soon.
no subject
I thought we might not get paid. Not anything like this.
no subject
[neutral, as if commenting on a rational course of events,]
That way, they can claim that it was negligence on our part.
no subject
[ not that nodd's aware, anyway. ]
no subject
[who knows, with companies.]
If it is because of us, then I want to know how.
no subject
[ how many clusters of crew even were there? ]
no subject
I was in the bathroom with a couple of other people. [bathroom curfew cursed] What about you?
no subject
The bar. We had a fair-sized group--a couple heavy hitters, included, and no one could get through the doors.
w1; saturday; post-trial
silence, for a while, after he walks in. ]
You shouldn't have been so helpful.
no subject
at the statement, his gaze turns questioning,]
...You mean during the trial?
no subject
[ a question within the statements. eunhyuk is normally smarter than nodd, surely. ]
no subject
I did try. I didn't speak up when everyone was saying the wrong theory.
And I didn't tell you to check my pockets too.
no subject
You tried to kill yourself. Was it remorse?
no subject
no subject
[ tags this past thread while shaking in fury elsewhere at execution ]
no subject
no subject
[ why did it have to be the med student? ]
You don't strike me as a killer. Where was your head at, during?
WEEK 6; SATURDAY
Eunhyuk is in the aviary biome. A bird keeps pecking at his glasses? He carefully waves it away.]
I don't have any treats on me. I'm sorry.
[the bird pecks his hand next]
Ow.
no subject
[ or is it? what do eunhyuk's glasses symbolize to the bird? ]
Hello again.
no subject
the reminder makes the corners of his eyes crinkle a little, in amusement.]
I haven't had anyone ask me about polyamory since then.
[so maybe it does pay to be ded...]
no subject
[ also whips. also vlad. ]
no subject
We had ghosts too, but just of the previous crew members.
no subject
[ he'll believe it when vlad isn't at n&b hq ]
no subject
he nods]
We met the person who created the revival research. He was the one who walked us through it.
no subject
I take it it's too late to help them, too? Or do you think it's possible?
no subject
He said that they might be able to find a way back, once the rift opened.
And their bodies could still be at Nut and Bolt. That's what the company was planning for us, so.
no subject
[ sorry for all the questions, boo, but you're easier to talk to than the other nerdboys ]
