monday - thursday (35) 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 the ship restored to its previous state, all areas interfered with during the murder looking mostly the same as they did before. Along with this, it appears there are new areas opened on the ship. It seems you have more exploring to do. The robot in the cafeteria has prepared another breakfast of various foods.

[As they get closer, they'll recognize the heads as belonging to Maria Hill and Niles...though this might be harder than normal seeing as how both of Maria's eyes are missing, leaving only gouged out empty sockets behind. Niles is still wearing a heavily bloodstained eyepatch, but his normally visible eye has been gouged out as well.

At least they'll have an easy time finding one of the eyes. It's in Maria's mouth, placed carefully between her teeth.]

[chiseler]

[He nods, gesturing for an open area for the pair of them to go.]

I'll even be generous and let you give the first hit.

[mnasthai]

[ Well almost getting puked on is enough to make him move, he does have agility on his card for a reason. But now that he's no longer frozen, he really can't help himself in taking a closer look, and he follows Bull.

Again, he's made a poor decision.

For a few long seconds, he just stares at the decapitated heads. And then he covers his face with his hands and....starts laughing.]

[jackhole]

[ rhys is grimacing a little at the vomit under him and when he's able to catch his breath, he pushes up from the floor, staring at the blood and puke on his palms. god... that's a mess.

he'll look up, pale faced and clammy to where bull and kazuma are and raise his eyebrows in confusion at kazuma's laughter. okay, kid? right. uhm. he'll approach from behind, hands still awkwardly held in front of him and as kazuma laughs, he'll feel a pressure at his back as rhys just... straight up wipes his blood and puke hands off on his back.

if he's got the time to laugh, he can help a guy out, right? duh. ]

U-Uh, right. Oh my god, shut up, kid. First wind, now this? What did I miss -- Oh, oh those are eyeballs. That's... that's something, alright.

[ he just stands next to the other two for a moment, seeming completely fine for a moment and then like a flick of a switch, he just fucking faints.

so now they've got the qunari with puke on his clown pants. the laughing kid with puke and blood on his cape. and the cyborg man who fainted after a fucking moment, probably also covered in puke and blood.

what's jessie gonna bring to the table? ]

[toprotecttheworld]

[That's Niles. And that's Maria. This isn't what was supposed to happen, this isn't what they deserved.

She takes a few steps into the room after everyone else, her boots leaving prints in the blood and the red. And then there's laughter. The first thing she wants to do is reach out and wrangle Kazuma by the neck, but she can't. She can't do this, Niles was someone she was fond of.

Her eyes flick next to Rhys, and she feebly reaches out after he's fallen in an attempt to catch him. No, no, no. This is horrible, this is so much worse than finding California Cool behind the merry-go-round.

She takes a step back, falling on her rear and smearing blood on her clothes and gloves and the tip of her hair where it touches the ground. It's like Niles' empty face is staring right back at her, and—

Jessie screams, flooding the hallways behind the viewport with the most panic and volume her body can force into the scream for a long many seconds.]

[chiseler]

[…a smile.] Arbok. From Jessie. [Don't ever try to take him up on his challenges, Shelley, they're brutal because he's a bitter shit. But that smile's quick to disappear and turn into a groan as he drags his hand down his face.]

What is with this ship and science? That sounds more like magic if you ask me.

[qundercover]

[Bull just takes a moment to look around. Heads, bloods, guts, eyeballs. A mage losing it in a laughing fit, a guy puking then immediately fainting (he doesn't make any move to catch him), the redhead screaming. Is he really the only one with any modicum of chill, you guys. He's gotten over any initial shock at seeing this room, just checking out the heads with a calm, analytical look.

He stands up, folding his arms.]

Guess they wanted to check out the view.

[IS THIS THE TIME.]

[thanatosincarnate]

{ This is not on him, even though he's kinda really tall. }

Your friend takes up more than enough space-- if it were just you and me I'd have more room.

{ Obviously he thinks her saying that is utterly ridiculous given with how large Arbok is.

Honestly, in a hypothetical situation the elevator stopped and got stuck, hell might break loose. }

[todorable]

Okay, sounds good.

...You don't really think it's going to explode, do you? I mean, I trust you, but just. Wanna be certain.

[toprotecttheworld]

Arbok doesn't take up any space at all! You have plenty of standing room, or you would if you shoved yourself against the wall.

[Jessie is missing the point fantastically like usual.]

The polite thing would have been to get off and let us go ahead, then.

[no]

[hatslinger]

[ fiona came because of screaming, not really expecting to find, like, an actual body (or two) after last week's little charade. except there definitely are two bodies (or what's left of them) in there, and fiona immediately recoils — partially because of the scent. she pulls down her hat to cover her mouth and nose, trying not to gag. ]

What— [ hrrk ] The hell is going on?

[ looking around at the group of people congregated, she could only imagine it was something terrible. ]

[thanatosincarnate]

{ Okay, but. Really, there was a loud-ass piercing scream that echoed throughout the room and the subsequent hallways -- if someone is coming into them, how are they not going to hear that?

Arumat pretty much shows up in the viewpoint room, making an expression of disgust at the putrid smell of ... organic mess that is everything here right now. Also, with the lovely addition of new puke! Fucking fantastic. }

... What the hell?

{ His eyes narrowed, he gazes over the current occupants of the room -- as well as its contents once again. Niles... Maria, he recognized them easily enough.

His eyes drift back to Kazuma and Jesse -- guess bringing his scythe was meaningless after all. }

[thanatosincarnate]

My men knew me well to take me seriously or they would found themselves severely disappointed.

{ It was nice knowing you, Adrien. }

[thanatosincarnate]

Exactly.

{ There's like ... still a good many amount of people remaining. It'd be hard not to find more than a few greedy someones here. }

So it's best to consider someone that has expressed those qualities in some way.

[socloverit]

[she's dangerously close to being the horror movie blonde this is her duty

the yelling that follows isn't as loud and more incredulous than horrified but she's still pretty damn loud]

Why is there a LEG here?!

[she's starting to figure out that it's probably fake but between making angry noises about space kidnapping and shoving food cubes in her mouth she's given up on having dignity in front of this guy, there's no use in trying to recover this situation]

[qundercover]

[ Jessie's alarm raising skills sure are great. By the time these two show up, Bull is in the middle of picking Rhys up to at least move him out of the way of actually looking to see what's around. He's a little hesitant to mess with a giggling mage having a meltdown, but what can you do. ]

Looks like "stasis" means some nasty shit is what the hell.

[ur welcome. Okay well, these two children are coming with Bull. Sorry Rhys and Kazuma, you've been voted off Bloodbath Island.]

Uh, going to put these somewhere. I'll be back. Take a look around.

[mnasthai]

Mmhmm. So you're talking about who would be interested in the motive? [ Then to Luke:]

I wasn't really trying to hide, so I don't think so. [ Likewise, he also has a smile on his face, but it's pretty much his default expression.]

[brooches]

[ C-C-CAUGHT in the act. Elizabeth's unsure of how she could even begin to explain herself. Despite the creeping paranoia, she sees no harm in answering honestly. ]

Either that or store them where no one should find them. They've been a nuisance.

[brooches]

[ Laughing catches her attention before any footsteps. She's far too busy trying to get the bottle of chardonnay nestled tightly under her arm's grasp. She looks over her shoulder, face flushed hot as if she had just been caught sneaking cookies before bed. ]

Then you should help me before I do.

[brooches]

[ Paranoia and common sense surprisingly go well together? Her thought process of removing alcohol from the ship would be met with an uproar so she waits until it's nearly clear to remove the file heaven-in-a-bottle. Adelina was not someone who opposed her, she thinks, so when the girl makes her appearance known.. Elizabeth turns and gives an awkward glance - struggling to hold the bottles. ]

Removing this before anyone else puts themselves at risk again.

[hatslinger]

Rhys—

[ she reaches out a hand for him when bull ushers him out of the room, but lowers it when she sees where he's going. she figures he'll take care of him just fine. she sighs, walking over to jessie to gingerly help her to her feet. she figured it must have been her who screamed, considering she was the only other woman here. ]

Were they just.. in here like this?

[ she says this with a level of shock. how did no one notice..? wasn't someone patrolling? she'll walk over to maria's body (or what's left of it) to get a good look at.. all of it. she crouches down to get a better look. ]

[brooches]

Hiding them in my bedroom where I will permit access to no one. [ She thinks? Maybe not, but she looks to the bottle then back to him. ] Or... um... pouring them. I hope to finish this before morning when the loyalists hit their bottles as soon as they wake up.

You're not the first one to do that, heh. The mods wrote 'tackledforwhimsy' when I made the reserve

[tacklefordwhimsy]

My world has a lot of things wrong with it, but it doesn't have giant sna-Arboks!

[Besides, now that she thinks about it...]

We do have giant sea creatures and evil jellyfishes, for some reason. Arboks wouldn't stand out as something strange. Maybe they do exist and I just haven't seen any.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

[Shelley sighs. Good luck, Elizabeth, she really wishes you success]

I won't lie, I'm totally the type to take bad decisions when drunk. In a way you're doing many of us a favor, you don't want to know what kind of problems I'd get into when I'm drunk.

[refactor]

[ With that scream, it's hard to miss if you're anywhere nearby, though even so, Jack is in no hurry beyond just really wanting to see who bit it. Unfortunately for him but luckily for everyone else, he'll come across Bull first. ]

Woah— Woah there, cupcake, what—

[ Jack starts speaking before he's really even taken in the scene in full, but he ends up looking at Rhys with a raised eyebrow. Clearly, he's okay, since he can see Rhys breathing (good enough), but he's still more than a little taken aback. ]

Wait, did he seriously puke himself unconscious?

[ that's a pretty big surprise, right ]

No, no, nevermind, not important. Damn, someone's greedy... Someone actually bit the dust already?
