[ he's definitely not stabbed anymore, at least. which is the main thing. after a moment he just lets out a slow sigh and flops backwards to lie back on the ground. ]
[ Yuri sits down next to Shu, wiping his forehead with a handkerchief regardless whether there's sweat there or not. Time to brush his hair a little away from the face to reveal that Shu actually has two eyes (/s). ]
... Yes. While the form it took was of an industrial meat grinder, it often possessed coworkers to have them shove others into the machine to create "music" of the human flesh being shredded, hence "The Singing Machine".
Yuri is quietly throughout the entire memory. The void spits them out (throws dart ig) in front of the trams when it's over and she looks over at him, not sure what to say for the longest time.
[ a big and i oop-- moment. in front of the trams was genuinely not where he expected to end up so he has a moment of ? over the location they've found themselves in and then a bigger moment of confusion when he finds himself being hugged.
his memories haven't exactly drawn a hug response out of people so far. ]
...
[ he shifts so he can raise an arm and give her a little pat on the back. there there? ]
[ Unfortunately, Yuri is not like other people and she still doesn't know what to say in response to seeing all that. The hug still stays though, and there's a small muffled question. ]
No. Teach was dead when I got there. Someone probably had her on their hitlist, so it could've been anyone. Maybe they're already dead and I just don't know it.

The Singing Machine?
no subject
... Yes. While the form it took was of an industrial meat grinder, it often possessed coworkers to have them shove others into the machine to create "music" of the human flesh being shredded, hence "The Singing Machine".
no subject
Shredding bodies as music. [ jesus. ] Was that— somewhere in your City?
no subject
[ There's a lopsided smile from Yuri. ]
So I wasn't privy to its details after that moment.
no subject
he sits up. ]
Possessed-- you worked with these things? Like I was doing? [ GIRL WHAT? ]
no subject
[ (yay) ]
no subject
So, you got mind controlled by an industrial meat grinder, and people had to knock you out so you didn't go around possessed by it's... singing.
[ is that? what happened to her? ]
no subject
[ 🧍♂️
WHAT ELSE IS SHE SUPPOSED TO SAY? NO?? ]
no subject
No wonder you don't want to go back there.
[ jesus. ]
no subject
[ Haha...................
Anyway. ]
... I'm not sure when this void will let us back out.
no subject
[ HR would have a field day, if LobCorp did HR. ]
... If it's like any of the others, it's probably just waiting for--
[ yeah ]

But then she gives him a light hug. ]

[ he shifts so he can raise an arm and give her a little pat on the back. there there? ]
It's fine.
no subject
... Do you still smoke for her?
no subject
[ stress smoking was one way to deal with everything, especially when they pointed out it wouldn’t do any harm here. ]
It was a work in progress.
no subject
... Was this the incident that you mentioned that was around five years ago?
[ When they were talking about how Shu is just chill about everything ]
no subject
The thing I didn't handle too well? Yeah, that's the one. The fall out, who I blamed, none of it really worked out for the best for a while.
no subject
... I think that's a very fair reaction to have.
[ She's wondering at this point if Shu just gets over it so easily......... ]
no subject
Not really. You ever... known something can't be right, but you choose to believe it anyway?
no subject
looks into the camera ]
... Do you still believe it?
no subject
he sighs. ]
No. Not really. But forgetting was worse, so it was easier to blame Yang than it was to accept and move on.
no subject
... I don't think it's easy to accept and move on from something like that. They were your only family...
no subject
No, it's not. But I probably wasted a lot of time hating and hunting down Yang when I could've been looking for the person who actually killed her.
no subject
[ yang didn't say anything?? hello??? like "hey shu someone murdered teach" and instead he just f l e d ]
But do you know who did?
no subject
No. Teach was dead when I got there. Someone probably had her on their hitlist, so it could've been anyone. Maybe they're already dead and I just don't know it.
