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_

[ Stop poppin' p's. ]

You expect me to believe that? A random man asks for you and you -

Jason. If this is truly your father, you should reach out to him. Don't burn bridges.

[antagonize]

[He laughs, but. It's an incredibly bitter sound. More bitter than anything Elizabeth has heard before. Sorry that the daddy issues.]

That's hilarious. I'm not the one burning bridges. Whatever the hell we had, he's the one with both the matches and the gasoline in hand. I'm just sitting back and watching the show.

[baptizer]

So it is your father...

[ Last one to criticize for daddy issues, lbr. ]

He's worried - just as I suspect you are over him... Promise me you'll think about contacting him at the very least...?

[antagonize]

Believe what you want, but this is the truth. I have no father.

[Jason, stop.]

I'm not worried about him. I'm more disappointed nobody took him out while they still could. Now he gets to show up here and act like he gives a damn over anything other than his own pride.

[baptizer]

[ She doesn't have the whole story and doubt she will. The stranger claims to be Bruce Wayne - Jason Todd's father. She doesn't press the issue and she honestly... won't doubt Jason, if he does continue to dispute it.

Her loyalty lies with him, honestly. After Bruce continued on... ]

Ah... alright. I won't meddle in your affairs, Jason. I said my peace on the matter but - he wants me to relay something. Something about "whatever happened in Gotham" didn't matter - he'll protect you.

Whatever... that may mean, but. Take it as you will.

[antagonize]

Oh, gee. That means a lot coming from him. Considering, y'know, his impeccable record of successfully protecting the people he cares about.

[A beat. And... quieter.]

... Whatever. I guess we're stuck with the Nuwa for the rest of this ride. Did you get to contact whoever you have on the other ship?

[baptizer]

I'm just the messenger since someone refuses to acknowledge him.

[ Shrug??? Whatever, she's going to still try and keep him calm. ]

Until we get to the Nuwa? Right. You'll have to face him eventually unless you plan on testing your resilience to being in space...

[ That's a tease. ]

...I did. Booker's alive. Well, was revived. [ Maybe she mentioned him? She did talk a lot about him. ] I guess the revived dead folks club isn't too exclusive anymore.

[antagonize]

I know I'll have to face him once we get to the Nuwa. I'm not an idiot. I just— [...] I didn't think I'd have to deal with him this soon.

[Is he his father or not? Stop sending mixed messages, Jason Todd. He's being pretty straightforward with here here, though, so. Congratulations. That library comment was super effective.]

Good for him. Not so good for Luke and I. We're gonna need to find a new niche with all you zombies shambling around. Any ideas?

[baptizer]

You've survived body invading aliens, Jason. This man isn't so bad in comparison.

[ She sounds encouraging, a true warmness in her voice. If he needs it, she'll be there. But she respects and cares fro him enough not to push it. ]

You could be the founding members. Those often have privileges. Discounts on brain buffets, most likely.

[ Who taught Elizabeth how to be sassy? ]
