[honestly so fucking high also me copypasting a note into my threads bc it's going in all of them: scien's changed back into his rumpled outfit except it's probably more obvious than ever than he doesn't have his left arm because the sleeve is just floppily trailing next to him. on that sleeve, there is a new bloodstain on it like it was used to wipe something. help!

but based on my coin flip, roboji is the winner!! bonk goes the wheel and the scien-shaped lump on thee floor just makes a noise that sounds like a grumble. hey]
egodist: (✧ they say;)

[mumbling tiredly:]

I can’t remember the last time I slept in a bed. It’d probably be more uncomfortable now.

[he yawns and moves to get up, flicking his I.R.I.S. to activate]

Forty-three minutes… that’s enough.
egodist: (✧ but bad boys bring heaven to you.)

[it's not necessary but scien will move to stand, just dusting himself off]

If it's close enough that's fine, otherwise wherever is suitable if I need a brief rest.
egodist: (✧ that you've fattened up deliciously)

[scien catches the way shoma's gaze flickers and answers to get it out of the way:] Blood draw, had to clean the blade. Everyone asks.

[TRULY IT'S SO FUNNY THEY'RE LIKE SCIEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING ALREADY]

And yes. Nothing too helpful, though.
egodist: (✧ take my hand)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-02-26 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
No, but if they've introduced nanites into our system and this is also the first time I've left the environment of the island, I want to be able to monitor my own blood - not rely on the vitals that they display on that screen. I don't have the tools for analysis yet, but this will suffice until I do. I only draw my blood when I need to complete a new experiment.

[he nods at that, in agreement]

Or they'll lie to you in private. Either way, they are the keepers of information at the moment, so it is worth engaging with them in some form... until the headache starts.
egodist: (✧ i made a deal with the demons)

[don't worry about it shoma, scien's insane enough to take care of it for you. but he nods]

That's right. I only have a limited number of vials with me, but with more supplies, I should be able to gather more data.

But you aren't wrong. Too much of the information is blocked from us to access unless we play nice and get promoted at the end of the tour. At that point, plenty of people will already want to head home.
egodist: (✧ amen. let us pray.)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-02-26 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
It would require a promotion after a tour, if you're able to perform well enough. Supposedly some medical supplies will arrive before we arrive at the first stop, so not this week but next. Perhaps the medbay will open at the same time.

[everything is taking too long.... ridiculous....]

And the real reason why we're here, obviously. It's clearly not to fulfill a job, as their supposed contract suggests. They might not even be aware of the real reason, if they're also brainwashed into compliance.
egodist: (✧ take my hand)

[scien wants a lab soooooooooo bad]

Experimentation, sacrifice, forced labor are a few of my guesses. Incompetence is also a side explanation for everything that's happened.

But it's entirely possible. They claim that they all served on the same crew, similar to us, and have chosen to take on their positions. We'll know what to look out for if we all slowly grow more accustomed to the idea of working here over time.
egodist: (✧ there's nothing real)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-02-26 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
So long as people are being honest anyway. Some have already mentioned that they would be willing to play along with expectations in order to gain information or resources.

I'm debating whether or not it's worth my time to do so.
egodist: (✧ that you've fattened up deliciously)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-02-26 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Risk assessment and modification of behavior is reasonable. The information gathering stage is an important one when determining how to tackle a threat.

[he's in agreement. it's a sensible plan. but - ]

It would simply be too obvious if I suddenly became overtly obedient, and I could never maintain it over a long period of time.

[sometimes you come out the gate swinging with the awareness you're a fucking asshole]

[personal profile] egodist 2024-02-26 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . ?

well this isn't what he anticipated. scien raises his brows and tilts his head, bringing his remaining hand up to his chin]


Oh?

And what do you seek in return?
egodist: (✧ take my hand)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-02-26 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
No.

[wait what - ]

When negotiating, you don't give the other party a chance to deny you. There is no 'depending'. You state what you seek, and navigate from there. Appearing flexible to start with will only give you a worse deal.

I won't correct you from here. Try again.

[oh okay.]
