Once is chance, twice is coincidence, and third is a pattern.
[ She downs the strawberry moscato in one go. Vodka next. ]
I really... don't want this to be a pattern. We already have theories that people are driven to murder by nanites, and not of their own rational, conscious thought.
...well, at least if it's anything like last week-- it's got one thing over the City. If it turns out it's the same as with Scien, it means people here have to be forced into it.
[instead of just-- things going wrong as a result of people being people.]
[ She knows she can't guarantee that. He knows that she can't either, Yuri thinks. But for now, she can give him her word. ]
... I received a little coupon today. It looks like I can receive something that I owned back in The City. I have a feeling wanting my sword back wouldn't work out well...
[ also bc wtf does yuri even have ]
But I still mean it. I want to live, and not living for the sake of just merely living. I want to live a life worth living... I won't let anyone get in the way of that anymore.
You too, huh? No idea what I'd even try and get...
[what items does HE even have. projmoon!! please!!]
...good, though. Hold on to that. If what happened to Scien happens again, then there's no telling who might try something, so-- just make sure you're ready.
[fight them for it, no matter who it is. she's got to live.]

[he's not drinking, really; he's got a beer in front of him, but it's mostly full, so he seems to not be doing much more than sipping at it.]
You all right?
[not just because of there being more death. they can handle that, he thinks. but that message...
well.]
no subject
[ Yeah, that message sure was something. It resonates with her so hard.
Yuri orders a moscato. ]

Yuri sighs. ]
... How cruel.
no subject
[i completely forgot he's comfy for once today. hoodie and jeans hours.
...he finishes his cigarette, and takes a long sip of his beer.]
no subject
... That's unfortunate. Maybe it really is like this no matter where I go.

That decommissioning message... hit harder than I expected, despite not being close to Viktor at all.
no subject
[he remembers. of course he does.]
...Yuri. I meant what I told you, before.
[especially now. especially knowing what happened back in that facility--
live like nobody's business.]
Whatever happens here-- you do what you need to do to survive it.

I should request a practice sword from the senior members... I heard Charles obtained one.
[ Yuri stays quiet a little, thinking. ]
... Maybe I should start training again in the simulation room.
no subject
[he should stay sharp, too.]
no subject
Thanks, Gregor. I'll definitely let you know.
[ Yuri takes the last sip of her drink. ]
We should get some rest to get ready for tomorrow. I'll head in early.
