[ Limbus party (yay)

Yuri is on the couch with the remote, wondering if she should watch some shorts on the TV. She has a practice sword with her at her side among other things in her pocket... she's really working hard to stay alive. ]

Did you two talk with the returnees today? It sounds like they went to The City somehow...

[inequals]

[ Goes to establish some things. ]

Oh, I haven't. I was kinda busy.

What, like how me, Lucy, Don, and Deedee went to Harley's place?

[applebough]

That was Harley's...?

[ :cathuh:

Yuri thinks about this for a moment. ]

So sometimes they pull a number of us into one of our home worlds? That's...

[ She shakes her head. ]

From what I heard so far, it sounded like they replaced some of your team members, as if they were there all along. Was that a similar experience with yours, Rodya?

[inequals]

Yeah! She was all shocked and yelled "I'm from Gotham!" or something like that when I told her what happened.

Uhh... well in mine, we ended up getting hired out to act as a kind of Task Force X? I don't think any of us replaced Harley, but I don't know much about her friends from back home.

Maybe it's more cosmomagnet-stuff again...

[applebough]

Throne described to me the scenario of the mission that I went with your company. The G Corp remnants, the abandoned L Corp building, Enkaphalin... the apple.

[ ... ]

She said that she saw Temenos getting eaten by the apple, but that wasn't exactly real, since Temenos was with us.

[inequals]

Oh yeah... I mean, I saw Vitya rip off his shirt and scream like a maniac in the asylum, so. And I also saw --

[ Actually, nevermind. She cuts herself off before that one. ]

Anyway, seeing stuff play out that doesn't really happen, that also happened with ours.

[verminous]

[my excuse for him not saying anything while i was sleeping is that he's just been avoiding doing that...

also he's a little buggier than usual. he has antennae.]

Sounded like it was rough on 'em.

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods. ]

Very...

[ Well, it's fine. Yuri has little red bear ears on her head. ]

[verminous]

From what Throné said, she...

[man. this one sucked to hear about, actually.]

She had my arm.

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods. ]

That makes sense, considering what I heard from her... and Temenos was eaten by the apple.

[verminous]

...they're not used to how things are, for us. Had to be...

[pretty, uhh, harrowing.]

[dropoffs]

[ anyways someone invited this person here so... here they are... resting and unhelmeted, though there is a familiar helmet just resting on the edge of a table nearby. it's been a long day spent in the medbay overseeing treatments for the multiple returns so they are just going to flop onto a couch with a soft "oof" and henpeck away a little at their i.r.i.s. you may continue with your connect 3. ]

[applebough]

[ ?

Yuri goes to see who that is, since she hasn't seen them before, but then she finds the helmet...

... ]

Io...?

[dropoffs]

[ ... hello miss yuri. they will glance up from their screen at the sound of their callsign and turn to offer her a brief nod. ] That'd be me.

[applebough]

[ :O!

But then Yuri remembers what Io usually does and the catastrophe that happened today. ]

... Good work today. You must be tired.

[dropoffs]

[ oh. a small smile. they just ] ... Thank you. Glad there's a bit of time to rest now. Good work to you too, this week. There was a lot of work to do on that planet.

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods. ]

I'm glad it was enough for the crew to handle.

[ But now that she thinks about it... ]

Do senior members typically have too much work on Wednesdays? I don't think I've seen any of you at the afterparty or anything.

[inequals]

Ohh, you do have a face under there after all!

[ Come and play Connect 3 with them wtf? ]

[dropoffs]

[ connect 3... help. they just look up at the comment and snort a little bit. ] Yes, I thought for my next trick, I should have 2 eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Ta-da. [ a small smile. ] Surprise.

[inequals]

It's working out pretty well for you. Why hide a cute face under all that tinted glass?

[ Oh you NPCs and your Mysteries. ]

[dropoffs]

[ she's just like this she's just LIKE THIS. a very quiet laugh. ] My contract normally, but we've decided largely to see just how much of it we can bend. [ we goin rogue...... ]

[verminous]

Hey, bud. Didn't think this was gonna end up being that kind of day again when I said you should come...

[just. unsurprised by the lack of helmet. hi.]

[dropoffs]

[ throws a little smile. hi gregor... ] I was feeling a bit adventurous. If there were more of you here, maybe I'd still be in my bucket. But as it stands... I'm in comfortable company, I think.

[verminous]

Ah, the design's not that bad. Seems stuffy, but better than a bucket, yeah?

[dropoffs]

[ wow. ] ... A very fancy bucket. [ tiny... tiny flick of the bull tail kind of just flopped off to the side. ] How are you doing since I saw you last... [ your buggeness... ] Haven't kept to yourself too much, yes? [ i came here because i was invited but i also came here to Fuss. ]
