[ YOU EXPECT HIM TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN ORDER TEAMS ]
... Actually, you guys don't ask me a lot—I mean. Scien asked about me about the other Callisto and what we could maybe do with him, then some people mentioned the first two ghosts, but... I don't know. I don't think I heard what I needed in order to remember—or at least in the same conversation—like what you just did with Hans.
I love spending time with you guys without the doom and gloom, too! Just so we're clear.
[ He did visit, but he didn't catch everything there. It's nice hearing that they might turn into real ghosts instead of... Digested. ]
You're so nice, Eunhyuk. [ Sniffles even though he isn't tearing up or anything. ] Got anything for me to try to remember? I can at least tell you I don't get headaches anymore!
At least for the stuff Scien told me weeks ago... I think the first week.
but also hm, the first week... they've met two more ghosts since then.... Eunhyuk has his little roster of crew members ready, but he doesn't have to look at it to think of the first name.]
Do you remember Gavin Cleves? He said he was the previous Combat Systems officer.
I remember Gavin! He's super nice, but... Kind of a troublemaker.
[ oh no ]
He gave me my haircut when I first arrived and made it easier to acclimate. I felt like he was the only person that believed me when I said I didn't sign up.
oh, huh. this doesn't surprise eunhyuk since everyone else in the mg didn't sign up for the eudora, but it is different from his first conversation with vash]
...So you didn't come to the ship for a vacation. You woke up here and were told that you signed a contract, like we did?
[ Sometimes Ganymede decides your callsigns as a bonding experience over being kidnapped. ]
I accepted it easier than others that it was just going to be our lives for a little while. [ Vash adjusts quick. ] And I wasn't lying when I said I wanted to get away.
[Vash does strike him as someone who can go with the flow, or maybe he just keeps all his emotions so tightly repressed so he never burdens other people with them, hm.]
...So whatever changed them -- it must have happened after you got here. Or maybe it was already happening slowly, and it just got worse.
[ Why are all you smart bitches trying to psychoanalyze him. ]
I think... The assimilation is more recent, but the previous crew seemed to believe they were contracted. It was genuine belief—but what is happening now could have happened then...

And it hurts him, until Eunhyuk mentions it all. The name, the title—he dramatically points in epiphany?! ]
HANS FALCIN!!!
no subject
THE DRAMATIC EPIPHANY!!!!!! Eunhyuk nods.]
They had a bracelet they liked to fidget with.
no subject
Right, right! And they were working on some kind of communal hallucinogen... Subconscious connection... Thing.
I remember they and Amalthea were very into floral teas.
no subject
Was that how they made their hallucinogen? So it could be consumed?
no subject
Hand on his chest. ]
... I was in combat systems.
no subject
Right. [...] You must hear a lot of questions from us.

Eunhyuk takes this in, expression faintly troubled, like he's thinking... then,]
...Let's do both then. We can hang out, and also try to get you to remember.
I don't want you to turn into a ghost like the others.
no subject

... Oh... You're right? I woke up and didn't sign anything, but everyone said we signed a contract.
[ !! ]
no subject
Vash... he's remembering!!!!]
Everyone? What about Io and Adrastea and the other newcomers?
[WAS VASH THE ONLY ONE KIDNAPPED ON THAT TOUR]
no subject
It was all eight of us! We had matching callsigns for kidnapped solidarity!
[ imagine if it was just vash ]
no subject
BUT THE CALL SIGN LORE IS ALSO SO FUNNY. KIDNAPPED SOLIDARITY.]
What made you work on the ship? Were you just playing along until you all figured out a way to escape?
no subject
I accepted it easier than others that it was just going to be our lives for a little while. [ Vash adjusts quick. ] And I wasn't lying when I said I wanted to get away.
The others had a bit of a harder time, I think.

[ He doesn't remember entirely. ]
What else do you have?
no subject
Gavin said he died while in the brig, after he was put there for killing someone. He thought someone might have poisoned him.
no subject
I do remember him being in the brig—and something about that. We tested the food and it came out clear. Or at least that is what showed up on results.
[ He's sad about it. Poor Gavin. ]
There was something else... I think people said they were seeing things at the time.
no subject
seeing things........]
Like shadows? Or maybe something red?
no subject
I think... It was like... Things aren't what they seem. Gavin's last meal looked fine to some people, but it was... Not fine to others.
no subject
Do you remember who the others were? Was it the eight of you who thought it wasn't fine?
no subject
[ Thinking. Thinking. His eyes widen like it finally hit him. ]
... It was unidentifiable flesh.
