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_

I missed you too -- wait, don't change the subject!

[clover ugh!!!!]

Clover, I'm so glad you're alive and not a fucking alien or whatever, but you need to focus right now and not chat with me! Christ, you can't even drive a car, who gave you the wheel to a spaceship?!

[socloverit]

I'm not changing the subject! That's the whole reason I called! You're okay and you're alive and I get to see you again!

[but aliiiiiiice!!!]

It's fiiine, the controls are so different than a car's! I'm doing great! And I have a copilot, so it's totally fine, say hi to Jason—

[she's moving the datapad to face Jason at the same time that he throws his datapad at the window and it ricochets off and hits him in the face tbh. the spaceship almost does a backflip because Clover is losing her shit laughing. death is coming for us all]

[allice]

Clover, I swear if you crash and burn I will get that fucking A.I. to revive you and KILL YOU MYSELF.

[who is letting this girl drive.]

I'm hanging up now, so don't get distracted. We'll talk again if you don't explode everyone into the sun!

[socloverit]

[IT'S FINE IT'S FINE SHE'S PULLING HERSELF BACK TOGETHER the ship is back to only its usual levels of turbulence]

Nooo, Aliiice, don't go yet! Pleasepleaseplease, it's been months and I didn't—I wasn't sure I'd get to see you again!

[she's taking this death threat with such fondness]

It'll be fine, it's smooth sailing, I won't get distracted! [these are all lies] Aliiiiiiice!

[she will definitely try mashing the call button alice come back]

[allice]

Stay safe, Clover. I mean it!

[And yes she will hang up. And any attempt to call back will only get this chorus to blast back as a response.]
