[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]
And picking the item from a list. I can sometimes make guesses based off the item names, but they're only guesses.
[he shrugs, smiling sheepishly.]
... But while that was the big secret, there was something else about it that I wanted to tell you for practical reasons. I get rewards for completing my tasks, and they're also items from Scrap... with the same effect, essentially. [boosting energy, mental clarity, etc.] Though mine aren't limited to the week I receive them in, unlike the ones he sells publicly.
So if you ever need one and can't get one of the limited ones, you know where to find me.
I see... I wonder if this means there are eight positions, one for each senior member. This is the first time I've heard about them too. The others I can think of are sending video clips and... strange notes at their door.
[ What a mystery. She won't even ask Charles on who the senior member is either, since there's no point in asking for now.
Wait.
Wait a minute. ]
--Those weird effects on Friday that many people have. I just assumed they were just... used to mess with us. I guess they could be from that too...? I received a genuine reward once though.
Maybe...? Though all of the other things, like the video clips and notes, have been useful to us. I'm not sure what the Friday effects do besides drive us all insane.
Heh, sorry, sorry. [said sheepishly.] But you really are very capable with a lot of good ideas, Yuri. So, I'm glad your nerves are being kinder and not getting in the way as much anymore.
Mm-hmm. It's a good idea—there are a lot of people here who don't get updated easily, and it can be hard keeping track of who needs to know what. And for our distant friends as well...
There's a lot to compile, but you've been doing a good job of that, huh? In the library.
It's to be put everyone on the same page. Compiling information isn't all that difficult for me, but well... I'm hoping other people understand the contents of said reports more than I do.

... 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. ]

I'll note that... Does Scrap give them to you personally?
no subject
I work with a senior crew member, who gets them from Scrap.
no subject
[ And for some reason he's chosen to pick people and put them on a list to be rng'd from?? ]
... Where do they even get this from? I wonder if it's the same limitations as them giving us heal guns that are unfortunately an older model.
no subject
[unfortunately for yuri there is no logic behind murdergame roles]
From the way they put it, at least in terms of what they give me, it's just a matter of what they can get from Scrap before the guy vanishes.

I suppose they will have to remain a mystery then. Oh, and I'll let you know if I don't manage to get any items. As for an anxious subject...
