the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (11)

monday - thursday (14) survivors Sunday's trial was only mere hours ago, but you find yourself faced with a new week on The Pygmalion. When you awaken, you will find the ship restored to its previous state, all areas interfered with during the murder looking mostly the same as they did before. It seems you have more exploring to do. The robot in the cafeteria has prepared another breakfast of various foods.

[See, it's the opposite for him; he's well aware that there's really no reason for him to still be alive aside from sheer spite. He has no greater goals beyond revenge, no purpose except a desire to be entertained - and yet here he is anyway, despite everything life's thrown at him.

So to hear Yuno just give up despite her previous determination to get back home - it sends a cold fury down his spine. There's a lot of things he'd disgusted by, but martyrdom's near the top of that list.]

If they were given immunity by whatever's in charge, it can be taken away from them easily enough. Or maybe they'll just empty the entire ship into space. After the past two months, you really gonna hope for the best from them?

[His expression flattens at her question.] I don't care? It's your conviction that matters here, not mine. If you need someone else to decide for you something as simple as whether or not you want to live, then you already have your answer.

Hah.

...Hahaha... Ahahahahaha! You think it'll end there for me? That's what it is, right? You think I'm stupid enough to think that I'd let death keep me from the people I love, right, Judar? Hahahaha... Ahahahahahahahaha!!!

[ of course not. yuno would not roll over and let death take her. death is her fucking bitch, she's avoided it all this time. it can't capture her. not not, not ever. suggesting she die for the ship's benefit is a form of showing that: she decides when she dies, no one else. she decides what her death means. she chooses death, does not calmly go into it's embrace like a swaddled newborn ready for the next world. no.

she'll stay and haunt every fucking one of you.

and her voice drops, the pitch somewhere low and deep and yet somehow natural, even if she's been using a pitch so high and squeaky all this time. ]

I was always going to die. Whether or not I want to live isn't relevant. But death won't stop me, you know that. When you're alone, and you feel a cold rush, think of me, Judar.

I'll fucking find you. You're like the brother I never had, always encouraging me... even now, that's what you're doing. Telling me to live if I want to, or die if I want to. To make my own decision... I'm not stupid, but I'll do what's necessary.

But just for you, Big Bro♡, I'll make the decision.

Nuwa's AI could be lying, or Alice could be lying. One of them isn't telling the truth, and not acting could get both ships purged, right? Then let's die together, in that case. If we die, cling to me and I'll show you how to make life beg for you back. Death can reject you, you know that? Let's force it to.

[ ok she's just being crazy but... ok. ]

[Yeah, that's definitely the kind of behavior that should creep him out and get him to reevaluate his relationship with Yuno along with all of his life choices.

It is definitely not the kind of behavior that should get him to break out into genuinely delighted laughter, but there he goes anyway...then again, this probably isn't a surprise to Yuno at least. This determination verging on insanity, this single-minded drive was what had caught his interest about her from the start after all, enough that he'll even ignore the comments about being her brother for now. (He'll definitely protest later once he remembers though.)]

Hey, that's the spirit! Couldn't have pulled that out earlier instead of that fucking garbage you were spewing about sacrificing yourself? You had me worried there for a moment, Yuno!

[And while Judar's actually been doing a relatively decent job at suppressing his crazier side while on this ship, those last comments finally get him to break out into a twisted grin, a wild light in his eyes that might even match her own.]

I don't need your help rejecting fate, I've been doing it all my life! Alice thinks she can bind our destiny to her shitty rules and her shitty game? Then let's break it, even if it means we risk plunging this ship into the abyss! If we die, better it be on our terms than hers!

[he says even though he has no idea...how...whoops]
