[ 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 ]

[roseoftexas]

Not that we have a choice in when we fall asleep, but it probably makes it easier knowing you're not going to be alone during the night.

[ small victories. also yuri, noooo. ]

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods, quiet as she looks ahead. ]

... I prefer to sleep early rather than being knocked out. It brings... bad memories.

[ Employee repression best done through violence at L Corp. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ ah. ]

More reasons to go somewhere quiet then. If you have the peace to fall asleep under your own terms, then you'll avoid that zero to one hundred feeling when you just get knocked out.

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods. ]

I think... the only time when I haven't done that during a lockdown was in the Omegamart. You were there too.

[roseoftexas]

Mm. And I thought it was going to be kinda quiet there.

[ shows what thought did. ]
