WEEK 14 - I have been — and always shall be — your friend.

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (14)

monday (41) survivors You stand with your friends, your family, and your enemies, shoulder to shoulder. The deceased and the living are the same, now, and you've been reunited with the person trapped on the opposite ship. You have four choices. Four options laid before you - five, if you're smart about it. You have the option of staying on the Nuwa, a ship pre-programmed to land somewhere safe, soon, and then it's your's for the taking. You have the option of entering the Nuwa's virtual reality and crafting your own perfect world, but knowing it was a perfect world created by your own hand. Your third option is one of the Cradles, a machine created to bring you bliss, and permit you the dream you've always wanted, without the knowledge it's a virtual reality. Your fourth option lays in front of you, on the bridge of the Nuwa, and it's a tear in the fabric of reality, but you can see your home waiting for you. It looks idyllic, perfect, just the way you'd want it to be. Your fifth option lies in another tear - the tear of a friend. Perhaps their heart is kind enough to take in a stray. The choice is your's to make, and whatever you choose, know that, for the first time in fourteen weeks, it's your choice. taken list profiles private conversations setting rulebook ENTER COMMAND_

[Shelley smiles wryly]

No, I think I need a vacation. Tackleford will have some sort of mess before a month passes and that's way too soon, hahaha...

[But no, to be serious...]

Totty, when I was brought here I was determined to leave Tackleford. It was because I had obtained a new job in London - I'm sure by now that's not an option for me - and I admit during our stay in this ship I considered returning to my hometown, but now...I don't know, I feel I can continue my life somewhere else.

I have heard Jessie's world may have a bright future for me. She says someone like me would be great in that world!

[So someone is getting drafted into Team Rocket. Well, there are worse fates!]

[todorable]

Yeah... From what I hear about it, you'd be a natural. But...you're sure it'll be okay? A different world, that's pretty far away, just by definition.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

Have you forgotten who I am? I'm Shelley Endeavour Winters! Nothing will stop me, so yes, I'm sure I'll be okay. If you ever visit that world I bet the first thing you'll see me do is a pirouette while I'm riding a dragon.

[Well at least she's irradiating confidence in herself!]

What about you? You are returning to your home, right?

[todorable]

A dragon pirouette? That's pretty impressive. Just look out for bees, those things are no joke.

[he grins, but honestly, look out for beedrils, they are nature's jerks]

Yeah... If it was just me and Karamatsu, then maybe... But there's six of us. Even if they're jerks, I can't lea--I can't let their world end. That...makes sense, right?

[tacklefordwhimsy]

Sorry for traumatizing you with my cradle, Totty.

[Is that a joke, or is she honest? Well, both, actually]

It does make sense. Besides, your brothers are going to need someone like you. If there's someone who can stop the world from ending it'll be you, not them.

[todorable]

I--I wasn't traumatized, I think it's perfectly understandable to not be into giant bees or their giant stingers!

But yeah... [then, stronger] Yeah, definitely. They're such idiots, they'll only get in the way, but I guess I should help them out anyway. ...Too bad, I'd like to see you ride that dragon.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

I'll live happily if I never have to see one of those again. [Yeah, it won't last long. Beedrills haven't stopped being a thing in the last five minutes]

If there's some way to visit other worlds I'd like to visit you someday. Visiting Japan, meeting your brothers...it sounds like a good time to me.

[todorable]

Trust me, it's not that good of a time. You've already met the most charming and attractive one, after all.

[he winks, because even if they are identical, it's still true]

That said, if anyone can figure it out, it's you guys. So I'll be expecting that visit.
