[ She's particularly aggressive towards these. Sometimes she stabs them, sometimes she kicks them... at some point, she has an entire face carved out, flesh and all, over her own. It smiles.
But all that eventually disappears when Yuri takes a break. Everything in the simulation is gone. She's covered in the same amount of rust that Charles could see from Thursday night. She's wearing the same thing. ]
Charles... you said before that a lot of people like me. I think it's the same for you, but in a slightly different way. But that said, I feel like you would open it anyway.
Shouxue would say that. [a beat] There's a bit of information in mine, but not much concrete. Here, if you want to see.
[he will pull up a few of his messages to show yuri, especially since she knows about his designation:]
There was something to the trick you pulled. It was very faint and easily dispelled but I remembered more of myself. I'm sorry for the way I reacted. It's okay. We learned something. Next time you have access to a mrdr try testing their blood. Ask Yuri&Shoma. I miss you my friend. Stay strong. 👸
You were one of the few who didn't make me angry last trial. No one knows much about designations, unless you mean station? Can you say sorry to Yuri? That wasn't supposed to happen. What else she found was. There is a 🌿💓 here. There were ⚫🕳️ that took us places. To where you are but pink. 🪶🌸
We received the food, thank you. More rifts here lately, saw you all through one. There was ░̵̡͜ pl▐░̵̡͜░̵̡͜t w▞t░̵̡͜ ▐░̵̡͜eet, r▞░̵̡͜y m▐s░̵̡͜, ░░▟░d ░̵̡͜░̸̷̨░̛͘͝░̸̷̨░̸̷̨░̵̡͜░̸̷░▐░▟. Incidents grew worse after that one. Make sure you see our note in the church, but don't open it yourself. Thank you for thinking of us, friend.🦈
[ Yuri stares at the messages for a long time and then brings up her own, but it's written in her notepad:
New Hire. First Callisto's body is with us. He's not made of memory. Trash might lead here, but unclear how far. Rifts opening to make distance between us to you smaller. CEM waves to capture memory and personality not unlike Reliver tech. Saw the rats. Be careful. Don't want you injured.
She sighs. ]
I'm not... feeling all that great right now.
[ Yeah??? ]
Perhaps I can make sense of these later, but Shouxue also asked me if I would embark on a ship that's fallen apart before. Hypothetically.
[ She gives Charles a Look. That says all he needs to know about that answer. ]
Oh dear. Well, at any rate, you definitely don't have to think about any of these today—I just thought it'd be best to show you. And it's good to have confirmation that we can send them things, since they got the food I sent, even if I wish it wasn't through the waste disposal...
... Ever since I saw the waste disposal, all I could think was a murderer running a corpse through the grinder so that their body couldn't be examined.
[ Morbid.
Anyway, whatever tension Yuri had seems to be disappearing with Charles talking to her. ]
I borrowed the blood drawing kit from Io earlier this week, but I had to return it by Thursday. I don't think I will gain access to it during trial. Also, from our track record, we seem to be finding the culprits very last minute, so I don't think I can draw their blood while they're in a "calm" state. The only thing I can think of it is using my multitool and try to draw some blood and put it in a small jar, but...
[ She crosses her arms. ]
... I can't guarantee the absence of contaminants.
Well, since I had Rosamund use the code after trial, perhaps she just means trying to draw a sample after they're caught—so while they're in the brig or medical bay...? I know Shoma was thinking about doing that last week with her.
If I knew you guys wanted a sample, I would have gotten it while she was in medbay...
[ Chance lost. This seems to... agitate Yuri that seems a little exaggerated. Of course, it's not directly at Charles, but it's definitely partly in her lamenting that she could have done something, but didn't. ]
No one can make physical contact with the people locked up in the brig too. I'm assuming that the gates will keep locking them behind the wall from everyone else until it's time.
Ah, I'm sorry, Yuri. It slipped my mind with everything else going on...
[he thinks.]
You could ask the senior crew to see if they could let you have temporary access? I've never asked to outright enter the cell, but I've gotten them to give me access plenty of times to pass drinks and food.
[ She bites her bottom lip for a moment before sighing. ]
I'll do that, then. Io will know the importance and I'll need someone to help me. I can't do that alone in case I get attacked. I'll still keep the multitool and the jar in my bag when I bring it to trial.
... I should also tell the senior members to stop saying that they'll be locked up until we hit the port. That never happens.
... Yes, it would be nice if we dropped pretenses there. [he nods.] Let me know if you want me there as well—I'll be useless for the actual medical part, but I can be a backup guard.
Thank you, Charles. I... I think I'll eat one of the rock lobster candies tomorrow for the trial. I can't have my head be foggy like this during trial again.
Thank you... I tried very hard to catch Scrap this week. I wasn't successful, but I managed to get the limited items. That's how I managed to test the different blood samples between normal and affected by an item.
[ She's mentally scrubbing her face. ]
Was there anything you wanted to ask me about the blood sample result? I put the result out there on Tuesday, but I didn't want to make it blatantly obvious.

[ Yuri quietly breathes out. ]
It's not like they meant to, so it's... fine. I received something like that as well. Did they explain to you about the message on the bag?
[ haha. Just laugh. It'll be fine. ]
no subject
They, er, just said they didn't want me to open it? Didn't exactly say why.
no subject
[ Charles can't be tamed. ]
no subject
You didn't have to say it...

They also sent me messages too. Shouxue told me to stop sending Scien reports because he doesn't deserve them.
[ lol ]

I eventually understood the codes you used, so I don't have any questions right now, I think. Good work on that, by the way.

Thank you. I'm glad... I should get some rest for the trial tomorrow. I keep having this strange feeling that I can't shake off.
no subject
All right, I'll leave you to it. I hope you feel better by tomorrow, at least.
