Yes, as much as I can get.

[ She smiles at Shu. ]

This is an eternal sunset, isn't it? I feel as if my biological clock will get messed up again if I stay here for too long.

[ Apart from staying in dark and cramped spaces for hours? Yeah. ]

I wonder how you actually change direction in a pedal boat. Is there a steering wheel?

[roseoftexas]

Sounds like the biggest thing we have to do this week is go to a fancy auction and win an item. Sounds more relaxed than the other stuff we've done so far.

[ hmmm. ] It seems like it. I've been in the other areas more, but it's always seemed like sunset when I've come in here. [ he does give her a slightly flat look at that, and pokes her in the forehead. ] Right, because all that time spent in the medbay pod was great for your circadian rhythm.

[ literally that!!!! ]

Pretty sure there's a lever you pull or something? There'll be a rudder on the in the back and when you turn it the boat will move in that direction.

[applebough]

I wonder if we can pool money together if it gets extremely expensive. It read like a very valuable item.

[ Weh. Yuri makes a >A< face at the forehead poke. ]

... I want to find out.

[ It's an invitation as she stares at Shu. ]

[roseoftexas]

Probably. I'm pretty sure rich people just had their money to someone to do the bidding for them -- no reason why we couldn't do something similar if we pool our cash.

[ shu stares back.








imagine if that was all he did. he does look amused though, before offering her a hand. ]

You have to do your share of the pedalling though. No slacking.

[applebough]

Of course I will. I wouldn't let you do it on your own...

[ Yuri will go down where the pedal boats are and goes to carefully sit on one so that she doesn't accidentally flip it over with her mere existence (weight). ]

It'll be just like riding a bike...

[roseoftexas]

[ CANNON BALL-- no. it'll probably be a bit easier when shu gets in too, even if the boat will wobble a bit because he is Taller with more mere existence. ]

A bike on the water. [ imagine that. ] Which way are we heading then?

[applebough]

[ Shu is denser in existence (measurement). ]

Um...

[ Yuri tries to think. There's nothing really noteworthy to use the boat for, so she just picks a random direction and starts pedaling.

They are slowly turning and going backwards at the same time. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ she tried. oh my god did she try. ]

Whoa, whoa. Hang on.

[ let him get his bearings and start pedalling as well. between the two of them, they'll start to push forward instead of back at last.

yaaaaaaaaaaaay ]

[applebough]

[ Ah.

Yuri pauses pedaling, watches how Shu does it, and corrects her pedaling hurriedly. ]

Ahh, I'm sorry I pedaled the wrong way...!

[roseoftexas]

[ pff. ]

It's fine -- we just ended up spinning.

[applebough]

[ Time to steer the boat towards the sunset and pedal. Yuri isn't doing this too hard. Just taking it easy... trying to get over her embarrassment... ]

... What do you think about the current planet?

[roseoftexas]

[ it's a chill boat paddle. shu leans back a little in his seat to stare up at the sky for a moment. ]

... Reminds me a bit of the first one we went to. More modern. And we've got the passes and hotel stays as well. It's one of the better ones so far.

[applebough]

I'm glad that it's a more... normal hotel this time.

[ help. ]

... It really feels like a vacation week.

[ Hmmm. ]

... Will you be participating in the auction for anything apart from the mission? I imagine they would have a wide variety of things.

[roseoftexas]

The Love Hotel was pretty comfy. [ don't just say it. ] But the lack of weird extras isn't a bad thing. It's a pretty fancy hotel, I'm surprised they were willing to just give us a free multiple night pass to sleep there.

[ he's not complaining. ]

I might see what there is. Given everything else, there might be something we can use that'll be helpful on the ship.

[applebough]

Hm, I want to, but...

[ her wages... Though the most Yuri has bought with her money is just food. She doesn't own too many other clothes and everything else is for free. ]

... I wonder if auctioned items really get that high.

[roseoftexas]

One way to find out.

[ go and see! ]

Sounds like we'll be expected to be there anyway.

[applebough]

That's true.

[ Hmmmm. Yuri seems to be lost in thought. ]

What kind of items would you get from an auction? This one doesn't seem like it's just for collectors. The mall also sells weapons too.

[roseoftexas]

I'd probably have to see to find out. A weapon sounds like a good idea, but it could also just cause more problems further down the line.

[ only having to offer up his knife at weapon checks has been pretty chill so far. ]

Something that could help me lay low, maybe? If outlasting becomes the plan in a worst case scenario.

[applebough]

[ Honestly, Yuri just wants to throw her multi-tool away in front of everyone. That thing has become more of a hassle due to checks. ]

I was thinking that maybe... during lockdown, I could be inside the sim room or in my bedroom. Neither are secure, but I don't think anyone would be actively seeking me out...

[ Apparently they want to kill everyone. ]

That reminds me... if they mess with the hydroponics room, then life support would be cut off, wouldn't it? I suppose it would help to have the respirator on hand too.

[roseoftexas]

[ i always forget to submit mine. ]

Somewhere a bit more quiet? Maybe, but Nodd and I got a nagging for staying somewhere on our own last week, even if I did at least have Adrastea to confirm I was where I said I was. So, keep that in mind.

[ they will just be hunted down but the thought is nice. ]

... [ huh. ] A ship of this size -- they must have a backup somewhere. But maybe we should ask about that.

[applebough]

... I think I would rather be suspicious and live than settle a check that doesn't seem to have too much significance on being together. An alibi doesn't mean anything when everyone is asleep when the murders take place.

[ There. She says it. She thinks the curfew check is dumb to get nagged about. ]

[roseoftexas]

[




give him a second, he's just leaning back to laugh. because yeah? yeah. difficult to argue when a kid is giving you big "i'm not mad i'm just disappointed" eyes and everyone's on edge in the middle of trial, but yeah. she's not wrong. ]

[applebough]

[ Poor Shu. Meanwhile, Yuri looks at him a little puzzled. ]

Is that really funny...??

[roseoftexas]

Kinda. Everyone's really latched on to the idea of curfews together.

[ ... ]

It's not a bad thing. There's probably a comfort for people in not being alone when they pass out.

[applebough]

It gives people a sense of peace, which... is necessary for a group like ours, I think.

[ says the one who panic attacked at w0 curfew ]
