INTERLUDEUnderstandably. But whatever the deal is, we'll figure it out eventually. Just hope it's not something too crazy to deal with.
Some people do say it's the little things that help. Everybody's motivation is different, so...maybe it's not bad to talk to people more about theirs and keep them focused. We're far enough in now that I don't want to let people fall behind.
[ they don't have to acknowledge the "when" for kazuki, just like they don't have to acknowledge "if" for shoma. they can just focus on the overall picture. ]
...that same idea's actually why I've been spending a lot of time here. I've been...researching stuff for a personal project. I don't know if I'll have as many resources at home, so I'm trying to absorb what I can.

You think even if we'd ask she'd tell us the truth?
bats534 and even if it is, we'll figure something out
thanks for sharing this
i know you don't think it helped or that it means much, but it does
[ there's a pause in messages before he returns to the main point. ]
bats534are you gonna be okay for today?

[ nods in understanding. ]
That's why I keep going back to the music store, too. Looking at stuff from other worlds is a huge help, no matter what subject it is.
...What's the project?

Someone who goes off the rails like that? Probably not.
INTERLUDEWe'll see how it turns out sooner or later.
As god as anyone can be, after that? Even if we kind of expected it to happen.
I was more worried about Mistral-san than anything.

Somehow I figured you'd get it. Scien told me to expand my horizons last week and I had to tell him I beat him to it. [ he pauses though to look at the book in his lap, muffling another cough in his shoulder and letting rust be caught there instead. ]
I'm looking for a way to reverse things. Or at least fix them. There's a lot of scary data out there, but some of it might be useful if I pursue certain options.

...no offense but maybe good riddance then. [ but that aside: ] Come on. Get some skates and prove you know what you're doing if you're so sure. We can think about the auction some more later.
[ and we can gently close this one up. ]
[ and we can gently close this one up. ]
I've just been asking everyone about music from their worlds... It's really interesting to see how different it all is, but somehow still similar. And just searching the database always comes up with something new, too.
[ he probably has like a hundred playlists already tbh. ]
Reverse things. Like what happened to you, or everyone who died here...?

bats534 have you gone to see him since he and harley got out?
i've been kind of staying out of the way

INTERLUDEYeah, I did. I helped heal his hands a little, too, and he said he'd use the pod for the rest.
You should show me sometime. I haven't spent a lot of time over there, but I may as well start finding some new background music for while I'm working or studying.
[ but he shrugs. ] The latter was always going to be a priority. I'm thinking about that all the time. But I meant the former in this particular case.

Yeah? What kind of music do you like for that? I can make you a playlist.
[ everyone on this ship will have their own playlist by the end of the tour ]
Kind of hard not to think about it all the time when we're in the thick of it. [ but yeah, he nods. ] Come up with anything yet? There has to be something out there that could help.

bats534 that's something at least
good
here's hoping nobody will have to do anything that drastic for a while

I'm sure it'll be no surprise if I say lo-fi. Lyrics are fine if I'm listening to stuff for the sake of listening to it, but usually without so I can focus on other things. [ ... ] But I should probably expand my horizons that way, too.
[ i'm glad kazuki has a personal project in playlists. ]
That's exactly it though, yeah. Anyone who's not thinking about how to get them back isn't paying attention. [ he frowns softly though. ] The obvious answer is more genetic engineering, but...I don't know how to do it myself, and the idea of letting anyone else do it freaks me out still. So I'm looking for alternatives that might be less intrusive. Even if it takes longer.

INTERLUDEI don't know, man. This weekend kind of proved that we'll have to do something about whoever's infected, no matter what, and that never goes well.
Oh yeah, that's easy mode. [ lol. ] Gimme a day or two and I'll shoot you something.
[ it's just another excuse for him to explore new music hehe. ]
Understandable. [ kazuki wouldn't want someone screwing with his dna, either, even without prior experience in it. ] I know science is the obvious answer, but have you thought about looking into the magical side of things? There are a ton of worlds out there with magic, apparently, so maybe one of them would have something that would work, too. I mean, obviously you'd know what you want better than me, but.
[ just a thought, since everyone here keeps talking about missing their magic or whatever. ]

bats534 it's what i've been trying to tell people
it feels awful, but doing this now is the only way we can save them
but you're right
it never goes well even with the best intentions

Thanks. [ he does actually look a little curious so thank you, kazuki. he is pleased. ]
...I hadn't thought about that, no. We're not sure if we'll be able to see each other again when this is over no matter how much I want that to be true. But I wouldn't even know where to start looking when it came to magic either. Or how it'd translate. [ ... ] I'm open to options until they're too hard to consider. Does that make sense?

INTERLUDEI guess I just don't like thinking about it that way. A life is still a life, even if it does help them in the end.
Fair enough. I just figured... you know. If it's an option, then maybe it'll be worth checking, just in case. You'll find something, either way.
...But it would suck if we couldn't see everyone again, after all this.
...But it would suck if we couldn't see everyone again, after all this.
bats534 ...the way i've been thinking of it is that when they're afflicted like that, they're already trapped and not living their life anymore
it's scary to be trapped inside yourself knowing something's off but not quite knowing what or why
it's scary to be trapped inside yourself knowing something's off but not quite knowing what or why
INTERLUDEYeah, no, I understand that. But I don't have to like it, especially when it means they're going to die.
No it's...a good point. I really never considered it. Magic's not something I'm familiar with so I've been mostly focused on science and what I know. [ but....yeah. ] I've talked about this with Throné a little. They brought all of us here, so they have to have a way to let us all see each other again when it's finished. It's the least that can be done when we solve everything and figure out a way back.
