in the void, kazuki is lingering by the junior crew rooms, and it means he's going to find that shoma's coming down from another direction with roboji wheeling after him. the vibes are. extremely broody for a moment, but he pauses upon seeing him. ]
...dude. [ hey. are you just as alarmed but unsurprised? ]
[ as he's approaching, shoma will feel distress pouring off of him in waves. but the second kazuki realizes he's there, it pulls back - like he's trying to swallow it down, but he's not entirely successful. ]
...Hey.
[ that's. all he's got right now. he's still in a state of shock. ]
[ that's fair. distress is a very valid thing to be feeling, and he flickers over to concern for a moment because this is such an awful situation to wake up to.
and then there's a brief blip of annoyance as he feels kazuki pulling it back. but he won't call him on it.
also for flavor ig he's also in a black bomber jacket that is. extremely big on him, the arms baggy and half-hiding an orange css eudora patch and it's hard to put his hands in his pockets when they're buried in fabric. ]
Almost half of us, probably? Uh... [ he's gotta think about it, and he starts counting them off on his fingers. ] Pearce-san and his roommates, Dahut and Brofiise, Lovelace-san, Anguis-san, Mistral-san, Charles-san, Yuri-san, Rosamund-san, Cecil-san, Sheba, Date, Lesage-san, Keith-san and his dog...
[ makes a face, but it's less disgusted and more confused and frustrated. ]
is the thought that comes through but it's quickly batted away as he refocuses. and his eyes widen as he registers just how many people were there to begin with. ]
That's...way too many people all in one room. [ softly, but with feeling. ] Messy sounds like an understatement. And you guys couldn't get the doors either?
That's what I think is weird. If there were really so many of you something should've filtered through at least once. But I didn't even know anyone was here.
Was it that bad? [ his emotional feedback is kind of even, but the tone is questioning. he can imagine it was terrible actually because having to be in a room with that many people and all of that insanity hitting at once would be a problem, but some people like chaos. he does not. he hates doing this bullshit with even one person at a time. ] What were you even doing in there in the first place? It was late.
It wasn't that late. [ when you stay out to 3am regularly that's actually pretty early?
a knot of grief settles over him. ] Pearce-san... He died right in front of us. I guess he was sick, but... we felt his pain, right up until he collapsed.
[ opening this thread again like what the fuck happened with my first icon hello ]
That's an understatement. [ but he's still freaked out and doesn't want to dwell on it so moving on. ] Dahut was okay, though. Until this morning, I guess.
I'd like to know how that even happened in the first place... if it was a nanite thing, or another malfunction. Maybe both. It's weird that it hit all of us the same way like that. I wasn't even that tired yet.
Neither was I. And I think a bunch of others would say the same. So it's like...what kind of programming and force needs to be applied to put thirty-eight people to sleep all at the same time? And why wasn't it enough for Dahut? Unless it wasn't applied to him specifically on purpose. Or, like you said, it's a malfunction.
[ ugh. ]
I don't like not even knowing where to start looking. But I'm also not sure what else we can do today.
Someone suggested that maybe we were drugged - like they gassed us or something. But that would've hit Dahut, too.
A malfunction makes the most sense, I think? It wouldn't be the first time something got screwed up on this ship. It's just weird that it was only him.
That's why I'm less sure about it being a malfunction, yeah. Unless the malfunction was just the failure to keep him asleep, but you'd think with a mechanic that forces us to sleep during a lockdown would've been tested repeatedly to make sure it worked in all circumstances. [ uggggh. ]
I'm going to try and message the senior crew later and see if I get a response. And until then maybe check out the barriers. Maybe there's something else to them.

No. Pearce-san and a few others tried.

Lockdown must mean everything's soundproof, too. I didn't hear anything from you guys and...I should've if there were that many people.
