I was being careful, so I didn't bump into anything, nor did I miss anything.

... Ah. I do regret one thing, even if it has nothing to do with depth perception. I sent a message out into HER-MES on Monday... I should have been more specific.
[ Yuri wanted to disappear every time that was mentioned and even goes into a short brain getting circuited moment when she sees it in the execution the day after. So yeah. ]
I... I didn't know that I would have gotten an answer like that.
Either that or unusually and specifically replicated well. That's what I was trying to figure out. I can't doubt that anyone on the ship has bad taste in humor to pretend to be dead people, but I at least ruled out we weren't communicating with an alternate universe of themselves, since Dahut knew Luke. There were messages that seemed like it came from Viktor and Scien. I'm assuming Arthur and Charles have been on it too, since I see their initials.
I know that when people die, they die, and that's the end of that. No one is special in that regard. But it would be nice... if some form of them lived on, because I'm sure that if given the chance, they wouldn't have done so.
... I'll drop them a message and see what we get back. If it keeps happening, there might be something to that. I'm not sure how much I want to believe it, but we're currently flying through space. So, things are kinda weird and diffrent anyway.
Maybe we should think of some code words, different ones for different people, before Thursday. Keep it to a small circle of people you trust, and then you can try the code word next week.
Okay. So, if something happened to one of us, the other can send the message "What's my favourite flower?" and if it really is the dead and not someone playing a trick, the answer should be "a rose".

[ And the answer, of course, was shibari??? ]
no subject
Wait, that was why that happened?
[ yuri you summoned shibari?! ]

I don't think I would expect an answer like that either. [ shibari...... ] Wait-- though. This means some of the messages last week were from them?

You think it's something sci-fi, like their memories are uploaded into the systems?
no subject
I know it sounds ridiculous, but...

[ Yuri sighs. There's also the privacy issue, but she really wants to figure this out. ]

That makes this easier to talk through then. Think of a code word -- something you might not normally say, but we'll make it significant.

Alright... though I would prefer it if nothing happened to us in the first place.

[ he pokes her on the forehead. ]
But if I did, you'd be wondering the same thing that you're wondering now.
no subject
[ Even after the forehead poke, her eye looks off to the side. ]
I think... I would be too sad to wonder about anything else.
