I want to run some test trials with it for the upcoming week's items as well, just to see if they yield similar results. But that would mean having to beat everyone to the punch in getting the limited items.
[ She has nothing to give Anise, Yuri doesn't even want to think about it. ]
But it's interesting that you mentioned Scrap because, I was talking with Shoma the other day...
[ She pulls up some notes on her IRIS to remind herself. ]
He said that Eunhyuk described where the dead live as a place where you would throw out junk or random scraps--basically where rats would live. He also likened it to a belly if the Eudora had a more animal-like anatomy with its shape. It's also named "Helly Belly".
Scrap also voiced that they collect all the things "this whale of a ship" leaves behind. It... sounds like too much of a coincidence now.
[ The people weren't dead. And having nothing to lose if lying. ]
... Anyway, yes. Scien mentioned "every week, we meet a ghost", but he got cut off there and reappeared to continue talking, saying that it was annoying to sit through and that he'll try to summarize it in the letters. By that, I think the ghosts that they see every week impart some valuable information, but they can't get it through because of the censoring. I told Scien to attempt shift cipher coding and the system managed to catch onto that too...
[ ... ]
Oh, shift ciphering is a code where you write your original message and change every letter to the nth sequence of the alphabet.
I know Arthur wanted to try sending a letter in code... Too bad it doesn't work. At least they were able to tell us some things at the party, though—even if they were still being censored.
I'm working with Shoma to rule out several aspects of our situation. For that, I would need several kinds of people. One of them is "not familiar with Eudora's technology before boarding".
So would it be okay if I could draw a blood sample from you? It's with a syringe and Io would be wonderful in not letting it hurt at all, since he's a professional.
[he's quiet for a bit, as though deciding how to phrase this.]
I'm only allowed to tell one other person this, which is why you can't share it with anyone else, but I have a designation on the ship—meaning that I have some additional duties in the background. [...] It'll be easiest to explain by just telling you what they are.
I'm the one responsible for the trial items people receive on Friday.
Yeah. I don't know what the items do before I choose them, and I don't know for certain who they go to—I pick a few names as possible options for the week and I learn the same time as everyone else does, at trial.
[please do not judge the semi-trend of accidentally sending killers items]

... When you put it like that, it does sound like Scrap is someone who has access to the... Helly Belly.
no subject
I sent a message to Eunhyuk if anyone there is familiar with Scrap's work. The rats don't talk, but they can nod or shake their heads.
[ ... ]
I hope. The weekly ghost visitor too.
no subject
Everything I hear about where they are is always nonsensical... but hopefully Eunhyuk will have an answer.
... Weekly ghost visitor?

[ She was so sick of pixeled people, Charles. She was losing it.
... Except pixel Charles for some reason. Hm. ]
no subject
Haha, yeah. It was nice getting to talk to them again, even if under odd circumstances.
no subject
[ There's a fond look on her face. ]
It was. I didn't realize how much I missed them until I got to talk to them.
no subject
no subject
[ Yuri sighs. ]
Charles, I have a favor to ask...
no subject
What is it?
no subject
So would it be okay if I could draw a blood sample from you? It's with a syringe and Io would be wonderful in not letting it hurt at all, since he's a professional.
no subject
Well, that wasn't the favour I was expecting, but sure. I did agree to Dahut and Scien, and I trust you more than I did them at the time, so why not?
[he won't even put caveats like he did with dahut and scien because he did not want two strangers with his blood back then.]
no subject
Thank you! It would help us a lot. I'm trying to get everything together by Tuesday so that Shoma and I can work on them with Io.
[ idk if you need to request an audience for this but as long as charles asks io by monday, he should be good... ]
no subject
Got it.
[after a pause, as he glances around the room—]
Now it's my turn to ask for a favour from you... sort of.
no subject
[ ??? What could be so important that Charles took a quick look around the room for, she wonders. ]
no subject
There's something I want to tell you, Yuri. However, you can't tell anyone else—not the dead, or anyone else on this ship.
If you're not comfortable with having to potentially lie to them, then I'd understand. ... But I'd have to know that now.
no subject
Yuri's eye widens a little and grows serious. ]
... Whatever the circumstance?
no subject
no subject
[ No hesitation after getting that confirmation. ]

Like the 8-ball, guitar, and the bird plush?
no subject

[please do not judge the semi-trend of accidentally sending killers items]
no subject
... So the only control you have over that is making a small name pool as to who receives it?
[ That's not much of a designation, she thinks. ]
