[ re: good morning! could i please get some moisturizer/face masks (my skin is sooo dry from this cheap soap), a razor, and shaving cream? โก thx ]
THEBE
Good morning! Sure thing, I can procure the moisturizer and face masks, no problem. Let me see what I can do about the razor thing. That gets a little tricky. But I'll make sure you have something for that! Did you get to enjoy the party last night?
oh, you made those? that's pretty cool! do you do a lot of stuff like that? wait, and are you saying you'd actually make the cream? or just that you'd test it?
i thought you were here for science though if this is your idea of r&d i'm here for it! wwww ok just checking, didn't know if i should prepare for fun side effects from that too
did you figure out what the source was btw? for all the stuff that went crazy yesterday
i am BEGGING YOU to requisition more recovery pods
This isn't something that we can requisition as easily, but - A request has been put in ahead of departure today to hopefully expedite the process. We're going to see if we can't get at least one on the next planet. This one's too remote for that technology, but Hyros is a mercantile planet. The station we'll be arriving to week after that will also have high chances. Maybe we can double what we have.
ok, that sounds good, at least... thanks sorry, i know it's hard to just Get Things in the middle of space, it just seems like if any entity could do it, it would be an intergalactic shipping company, you know? and it's still so frustrating that all of this is happening at all
It does seem like it would be in Nut & Bolt's power, doesn't it? For all the things that keep happening, two just isn't enough - begs the question of whether they didn't plan for this level of trouble, or if they just didn't care. My gut says the latter.
But it's alright, Todomatsu. We're just as frustrated. I get where it's coming from, especially after the Thursdays we've had. This one wasn't even a mission. It was an anomaly, like the group in the galley before we returned last week.
ugh, i hope the board fires whoever's in charge of this company without a severance package or just tosses them out into space i guess actually, throw out the entire board put this company out of business and let am*zon deal with the deliveries
it's just so fucked up that so many things are going so wrong all at once, it feels deliberate
was there a scheduled mission this week that we should be worried about too?
[ he wasn't really thinking that hard about it when the mask was on, but it's actually a little sad seeing her now because it just reminds him of last week's curfew. man.
puts on a smile... ]
Hello, Amalthea-san! I guess you've been working pretty hard on the encryption thing, huh?
[ oh what the fuck he figured just from the helmet and vibes that they were cute but this is still on another level from what he expected?! PLAY IT COOL TOTTY ]
Yeah, definitely! They're really big on fancy fabrics here, huh?
[ i'm giving you this on saturday because i missed it on wednesday.
anyways, adrastea is sitting in the security room after trial. the only reason she doesn't immediately swivel to put on her helmet - resting on the desk - is because she saw todomatsu coming to the door on the feed for the hallway. she's swishing an old fashioned around in a glass at the moment, leaned all the way back in her chair and staring down the feeds for the brig, stasis bay, and sim room in particular. ]
People who self sacrifice don't tend to remember the people they're leaving behind to deal with the aftermath, let alone in the moment it happens.
[ she shifts and hooks something with her foot, pulling it out from under the desk and producing a scifi seat that pops up. it actually looks fairly comfortable despite its origin. ]
We're thinking that Jingu was the aggressor, based off the footage at least, so now we just wait and see what happens with this one. [ staring dion down on the screen ]
Likely not. But if Jingu was, then I can't say I blame them for preparing themselves for a fight against her.
[ she nods absently at his thanks, swinging her legs up to put them on the desk. this is her office, she does what she wants? ]
I would've liked to see no bodies at all, this week, but if we had no choice in the matter... just one. I don't like the idea that the trend of two killers might continue on from last week.
gimme some time to rummage through the old shit. i've gotta have something somewhere for this.
[ and in maybe like 20 minutes or so, there is a ping to titan's call! thebe will be waiting there, helmetless and with a very sleek-looking, albeit somewhat dusty karaoke machine. they're currently sat at the bar and fiddling with their i.r.i.s. to get it to synchronize but will pause and give a small wave to totty. ]
Hey, no worries. I found it in storage and... hey, I don't know what you have planned for it, but if it makes you guys happy, I wanna do something.
C'mere, let's see if we can get you synched up. It'll take a bit, so.
[ pats pats seat beside them. a little black cat yawns and stretches from his place on one of the couches and hops down to say hello to totty as well. ]
he's not much of an animal person, but it's still affection week and no one said that couldn't also extend to animals, so he'll pet the cat a little if it seems interested. ]
...I don't know. Would have said pretty good if you'd asked me on Thursday, but today's kind of fucking me up.
[ son does seem interested, but also just spends some time bunting him and purring quietly. a very empathetic son just wants to offer a little of comfort where he can. ]
... Yeah... yeah, it figures. This week was going too well and then... whatever the fuck happened Thursday.
[ just keying in a couple of things and getting it set up... a loading bar shows up. 1%... 2%... slowly. ]
I never know what to think. About what'll happen next. Can't call it.

But I'll make sure you have something for that!
Did you get to enjoy the party last night?
no subject
why are razors tricky though, that's kind of a basic toiletry thing? i guess hair removal cream would be ok too though!
yeah, the party was pretty fun!
i liked the drink that gave me cute wings www i had like 10 of those
what were you guys doing during it?
no subject
We were working on the backend, trying to stop everything at the source.
Then we shifted to clean up the rest of the bathrooms and mess hall.
I'm glad you liked the drinks, though. I worked hard on them.
Amazing what you can do with a little specialty booze.
no subject
do you do a lot of stuff like that?
wait, and are you saying you'd actually make the cream? or just that you'd test it?
no subject
And sometimes you guys need a little pick-me-up
It's what I'm here for.
And no I'm not gonna make the cream, I'm gonna read the label
lol
no subject
though if this is your idea of r&d i'm here for it!

Hello, Amalthea-san! I guess you've been working pretty hard on the encryption thing, huh?
[ also sits down on the floor. ]
no subject
It had been something I was considering for some days now... If only I was capable of more, then perhaps we wouldn't be in this situation.
[ She doesn't ask him to fold. He can just watch. ]
I hope the collaborative experience was enjoyable. Involving you all in the process is important. It's something I would like us to do more.
no subject
[ he wants to die when he thinks about that password... ]
Can you say what it's for, exactly? Like, who it is that's going to have to enter that [ fucking monstrosity ] password?
no subject
[ do ya gotta word it that way amalthea? ]
no subject
[ imagine if he sent off a group shower joke thinking it was going to sidon and it went to like. taylor swift. ]
So... just curious if it's going to be anyone we know.

The communications would only be amongst ourselves. [ Implications. ] Nothing too unknown, to reassure you.
W3 WEDNESDAY
Hey, you. Ready to break the bank?
[ we have such a nice stipend!!!! ]
no subject
Yeah, definitely! They're really big on fancy fabrics here, huh?
no subject
Yeah, and there's really good at keeping the heat at bay. I wanna find a jacket to help - this heat's killing my back as is.
What're you hoping to find? We can keep our eyes peeled, hah.

Ugh.

At least we got one right, despite SOMEBODY'S best efforts to the contrary.

[ self sacrifice is such a foreign concept.
he blinks for a moment as the seat appears, but accepts the invitation and sits down. ]
Thanks.
[ ... ]
Yeah. It looked like that to me too. So that person... might not have been affected the same way as everyone else who's killed someone here, right?
no subject

[ shakes his head ]
Why do these missions keep being so... like that?
[ not like that doesn't sound kind of like the shit that would get played as a joke for one sketch in his anime, but. ]
no subject
I assume it has something to do with just how expansive the universe is, crazy as it sounds.
Makes you feel real small in the grand scheme of it all.
