We don't actually want to get kicked off the planet, y'know.
[ hang on, they're probably outside the ship now. he'll set her down. ]
Not before we can figure out what we're doing, at least. Otherwise we're stuck on the ship with no clue how to fix things. I don't think ashing more of the things here is gonna endear us to them.
I'm a little annoyed that it didn't get me any results either...
[ But then she can absolutely not be needed so she can sit out of this. Or that she has an item that can bypass being recognized. But she supposes that it doesn't matter in the long run and that Shu is right. Her body count has increased. ]
Looking into it’s a free action. If you decide you don’t like it, then that’s that.
[ he tilts his head. and then, a little … maybe bemusedly: ] Besides, you’ll have a scientist on call to ask questions about the whole field. Two, I guess.
she'd told him about what had happened, what she'd seen in gregor's memories. what would happen to her if she went back to The City with rodion and gregor.
seeing it is something different though. he reaches out and tugs her against his side without much thought, tucking her under his arm. ]
[ They're still in the void and Yuri just silently adds to the tally of how many times she's seen this. Being pulled in like this is nice and it's a very understandable response. ]
... I'm sorry you had to see that.
[ also gimme something from shu in which you think would have the most impact on yuri ]
[ she just keeps watching herself die... shu's arm tightens again. ]
Don't. It's not your fault.
[ he sighs. ] I wonder if we're getting the greatest hits montage of all those weird effects because we're on this planet. The memories, the flowers, the thought sharing-- [ all of it sucks.
and it sucks more when the void rudely starts showing one of his memories not long after hers has finished. like the world's worst movie theatre. ]
Before Yuri has time to say anything in response, she sees Shu's memory, watching it while in his hold. The notebook and the photo... she holds onto Shu's arm a little tighter. Then it's over and Yuri lets out a breath that she didn't know she was holding. ]
... That photo... is that what you want more than anything?
I don’t know. I’m pretty sure it was a bad photo and everything, I was pretty gangly in my early 20s.
[ it is actually not a great photo it’s very funny. ] It was the only photo of the three of us though, so… maybe I’m just pissed he grabbed it like that.
... I think he panicked, and ran. Probably tried to take the notebook, or something from it... so... maybe? But if he wanted something like that so badly, he could've just stayed.

[ It feels nice that Shu's staying with her. ]
Though I can go if I'm truly needed...
[ Her voice trails off. She's definitely about to add something, but just cuts herself off. It's fine. ]
... Never mind.

[ pokes her on the forehead. ] There’s a definitely something scientific brewing in there, huh?
no subject
[ Yuri laughs. ]
Oh, no... I just...
[ Hm. ]
... I just know what I know. And they're just the basics.
no subject
[ hmmmm? ]

[ But then Shu would probably just tell her to decide for herself. ]

I reckon Dahut comes as a freebie.
no subject
... As a freebie?
[ what??? ]

[ ... ]
Well... you're definitely not wrong about that, but they seem to have a complicated relationship.
no subject
I’ve spoken to Dahut more than I have Scien, but— yeah, I can see it. Figure there’s respect there though, at the very least.
[ reminder to me to do all the other salvation endings in virche at some point, i really just did the true ending and vanished. ]
no subject
I think so too. Respect and...
[ Hm.................... ]
Yes, just respect.
no subject
Better than no respect, I guess.

Now Shu can watch Yuri die from Gregor's POV. Have fun!! At least until 1:53:15. Even though you already know what happens. ]
no subject
well.
she'd told him about what had happened, what she'd seen in gregor's memories. what would happen to her if she went back to The City with rodion and gregor.

[ and not run off and left him behind. ]
no subject
At least they're no longer in the void! Yuri hugs Shu, even if they were basically stuck to each other anyway. ]
... That's one more thing to ask when you find him.
