WEEK 13 - I can't lie to you about your chances, but you have my sympathies.

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (13)

sunday (41) survivors Something in the air breaks, shattering from deep within space itself - and to accompany that sensation is a psychic scream. The ship shakes, coming to a screeching halt as a bright light explodes outside it. It pulses, not unlike a heartbeat, that crawls and crawls along at a slow, grueling pace. The last illusion has been broken, the last mental tie severed and crushed. You've done well up until now, and you can reap the benefits of Her labor; the dead walk among you, after all, and as Her scream rings out, a burst of energy shoots through the residents of the Pygmalion. It's clearly a desperate bid, but it doesn't root itself in place. Instead, you feel lighter than ever - Her attempt to claim you has only unraveled the string that kept you in place. The 40% limit has been lifted, and you are at full capacity. The chains have been broken. Go freely, heroes. taken list profiles private conversations setting rulebook ENTER COMMAND_

[ hopefully yuno is part of the 1% here, because she's slipping into the mound of pillows with rhys. her arms are bandaged all the way up to her shoulders and her legs are wrapped in bandages, too. she kicks her boots off before sinking into the pillow fort, so it's easy to see that her legs are as messed up as she'd told him earlier in the week. she doesn't bother to ask if she's welcome. she doesn't bother to warn she's showing up. she just spots him, relaxing and trying to avoid the whole situation and decides that she wants to do that, too. good enough. enough trauma for a lifetime!!

...but then she wraps her arms around rhys' chest and wails loud and long because HE'S ALIVE OH MY GOD ]

[jackhole]

[ WHAT IS THIS SUDDEN HUGGING... he didn't mind yuno showing up because he sort of expected her to but beyond a sleepy wave, he didn't expect much else. he's actually about to comment about her legs, ask how she's doing when --

okay, the wailing is unappreciated. his one free arm kind of flails a little. ]

-- Ahhhhhh, what the fuck. [ ?????????? ] Yuno, are you alright?!

[ oh my god, pink god teen calm down. ]

[bloodteller]

[ no NOPE no calming down, she's just staring up with huge, teary eyes ]

You're alive! You big idiot! I'm so relieved, I got scared I wouldn't see you, and I'd really have to pull you out!

[jackhole]

[ ugh, usually he's the one crying so he's going to like. awkwardly wipe at her face with his sleeve and look uncomfortable. ]

Well, that's uh. Kind of uncalled for and you know, what was I gonna do? Let some alternate universe version of myself take my spot here? Naaaaah.

[ rhys is truly that petty that he'd spite his own god damn au self. fuck that nerd, he's the original. ]

[bloodteller]

[ why are you dading her, rhys. ugh. no. this is the nicest thing someone's ever done for her. her own father wasn't this kind to her (in yuno's opinion). she hiccups and lets it happen, but it looks like his words soothe her. ]

Good. I wouldn't let you leave me, anyway. Family doesn't leave each other. We take care of each other. Shoulder the burden together. [ and she means it! she really does! it's genuine despite the tears, but at least she manages a smile. ]

What happened to you? [ he looks. significantly worse for wear? ]

[jackhole]

[ meanwhile, rhys continues to not realize this is the worst decision ever. when she stops crying a little, he'll just wrap his arm around her shoulders and give her a squeeze. ]

Thaaat's kind of the point, right? Family sticks together, through thick and thin. It's not a word to use lightly, y'know?

[ and he looks a little sad for a moment because of fiona shaped reasons but, whatever. instead, his eye widens slightly and right, right. ]

Yeah, my ... parts seem to have disappeared? Which, like, it blows? Oh my god. I'm gonna have to pay for a new set for the third time in a row and I'm not made of money here! [ . . . ] Hey, do you think I could get Jack to pay for them? He was kind of mad at me for the whole kill me thing so maybe, since he's totally super duper relieved I'm not dead, he'll be nice and buy me new parts. What do you think?

[ rhys, that's a terrible idea. ]

[bloodteller]

[ that's. fair, actually. this is still a new concept to yuno. dave's only just introduced it to her. ]

I can't answer that, you know. But I think Jack cares about you, so acting kind of sad about your stuff might get him to do it. You know, he's really not that bad at all? [ of course rhys knows that, yuno. you're both #teamjack at this point, wtf ] ...He's rich, right. You should get him to buy him expensive ones.

[ she's still a teenager though so much. well. ] You deserve upgrades. Cooler stuff. They were already cool, but now you can make them cooler.

[ .........wait a minute. ] Actually, I might be able to make them for you. For free? I don't know for sure, but if you've got blueprints, maybe...
