the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (12)

monday - thursday (13) 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 that the ship is still in disarray; there is no robot prepared breakfast, nor has any of the damage been repaired. The ship is mostly cast in darkness, with the exception of a few rooms, though light may flicker in and out in some rooms. Without Alice, you are all on your own. The ominous pressure of the Queen Mother still looms, though you no longer feel Her presence.

late monday / let's go, cradora the exploradora

[antagonize]

[On Monday night, once enough people feel like human beings once again, a certain event will be taking place. Should anyone be on the middle deck at this point of the evening, they'll hear a loud, metallic sound coming from the hallways. The closer you are to the elevator shaft, the more ear shattering the noise becomes. And should you be brave enough to venture outside of whatever room you're currently in to investigate this, you'll find—

Well.

Jason Todd banging a pot and a pan together, with Luke trailing behind him using the lightsaber as a light source to direct traffic. Looks like the resident Jackass hosts are at it again.]

Get moving, people! It's time to find out if androids dream of electric sheep!

[Go along with this ridiculousness? Or do the smart thing and preserve your dignity. Either one is fine. Better hope those hangovers are gone, though.]

[chiseler]

[>Be smart
>Go with ridiculousness

Considering this jackass is literally waving people onward with the lightsaber the answer is clear and he's grinning widely as can be seen in the glow of the weapon.]

Same way we got up to Gaea, guys. Let's get climbing! Jason and I'll bring up the end.

[Shoo! Go up the elevator shaft all of you. We have things to explore!]

[antietam]

[ Why does this happen whenever Adam leaves Luke alone.

At least he looks happy? ] Are you trying to lead us to our death or something?

[antagonize]

[Because Luke automatically hangs out with people like Handsome Jack or Jason Todd whenever Adam isn't around.

Which means it's probably not very reassuring to see Jason drop the pot and pan down the elevator shaft once people start going up.]

Isn't he always leading us to our death? I mean... turrets, proximity mines, setting his shirt on fire. I could go on all day.

[chiseler]

Thanks a lot, asshole. And not all of those were leading to other people's death. Sometimes it was just my own. [That's super reassuring.]

[antietam]

[ Seeing Jason anywhere around Luke is not at all reassuring, no. ]

That sounds more like leading himself to his own death. What's your plan this time?

[socloverit]

[dignity what DIGNITY, it's Jason, Clover knows better by now and the opposite should be just as true, but god does she look tired. why the pot and the pan]

What is it this time. [WHO ARE YOU KILLING WITH YOUR EXPERIMENTS NOW]

[antagonize]

[Dignity is a burden?? Who needs it??? Might as well piss on everyone else's respect for you and do the full stupid.]

Grab your scythe. We're going exploring.

[NO ONE. MAYBE. POSSIBLY. H...OPEFULLY...]

[socloverit]

[THE WEARIEST SIGH but she can't deny a request from the other half of the destructoteen dream team that begins with "grab your scythe," and she is always carrying it so she spins it around and follows the bullshit train along.]

Yeah, okay.

[antagonize]

Great. If we find another alien cockroach, you get the honor of putting a new hole in it first.

[So. THUMBS UP AS HE UNCEREMONIOUSLY DROPS THE PAN AND POT DOWN THE ELEVATOR SHAFT, DESTRUCTOTEEN.]

[socloverit]

I'm touched. [and she sounds so genuinely honored by the prospect of being allowed to fight the cockroach first, up until the disastrous crashing noises caused by the falling kitchenware. why jason. this exact face]

[missmaladroite]

[Rubbing her eyes]

What are you doing...?

[antagonize]

Rounding up the cattle.

[Do not call people cattle, Jason Todd.]

We're gonna break down some doors. It'll be fun.

[missmaladroite]

Do you ever stop being so..... you?

[oh, look, she must be feeling better if she's sassig him]

Why? Are you looking for something?

upstairs

[chiseler]

[With everybody finally upstairs, Luke makes his way up to the door to the electric sheep room. He stares, noticing that it's not nearly as cold was it was the first time he, Dave and Roxy were here. He looks back at the group.]

Last time we were here...well, you guys saw the pictures. [The pods.] I'm not sure what we'll find, but it's worth a shot. [And he'll try to open the door.

...granted, the door's locked...and so he frowns. Give him a few moments to concentrate with his hand on the door, seemingly staring at it but pouring energy into making his powers work to unlock the door. How's that working out?]

[al2955]

[ Luke might be surprised to find that he probably shouldn't have wasted his unlocking abilities on the electric sheep room door, because pressing his hand on it gets the door to budge a tiny bit.

The door is also no longer so cold it risks removing a layer of skin. ]

[tevinteriscoming]

[He wasn't at all interested in coming along on this little adventure, but when he sees that everyone went upstairs, he follows.

Seeing Luke at the door stops him cold, though.]

What are you doing? Don't open the door!

[chiseler]

[The door's not open yet, but he's also just sort of staring back at Dorian for a moment.]

Why not?

[tevinteriscoming]

If you unlock it, you'll give the souvlaki access to it. [He snaps it, but he's more frantic than angry.] That's clearly where they're keeping the bodies, isn't it? The bodies they used to come speak to us last week in? Do we want to give a creature that can possess bodies the chance?

[chiseler]

[...in theory, that should have been something Luke recognized himself. That's exactly how they got into Gaea, that's exactly what the queen told him.

...he is so. fucking. stupid.

He pauses...and steps back from the door, eyeing it warily before shaking his head.]

Hate to break it to you, but I think with the power down the door's already kinda open. I didn't even really have to break the lock on it. So...what does that mean?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[they gon explore into the dora, three legged cat and cyclops jedi style. which is to say time to go into the electric sheep room and see what is UP. literally see fuck u he got night vision]

Are the corpses going to be okay with the temperature up?

[are they going to start... rotting for real.......]

[antagonize]

[SADLY Jason does not have convenient night vision. This means he's just... carefully holding the lightsaber in front of him, mindful not to accidentally cut anything on his way in.]

I'm going to say... probably not. We might need some car fresheners up here in a couple of days.

[Ew.]

[al2955]

[ It's a little difficult to see but the glow from Jason's lightsaber illuminates enough of the room for them to see a naked figure with a goat head

Nah, it's just a bunch of egg shaped pods. They're upright, and it looks like they've got something carved into them. ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[he's heading straight for the pods, first to get a better look at the carving, and second to see if he can make out what's in there. is it really corpses or was it ice cream all along. when can we go to space dairy queen]

Suddenly, I'm glad I got my sense of smell taken out.

[antagonize]

Trust me, you don't need a super sniffer to get a whiff of that type of smell.

[But, alright. Egg shaped pods. Jason will let Adrien take the lead, following him and then glancing at whichever pod is closest to the one Adrien is currently looking at. Tell us, mystical meta, what is up with these eggs?]
