the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (6)

monday - thursday (31) 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. (OOC: Please submit your murder proposals by 9 PM EST Tuesday.) taken list profiles private conversations setting rulebook murder proposals ENTER COMMAND_

Yeah, pretty much! The smaller something is, the weaker the pull. I think the moon's gravity is... 1/6th of Earth's? I'm not sure. [also, is it really relevant, adrien.] Anyway, since we're in space and there's nothing like that around, the ship probably uses artificial gravity in the first place. I... don't know how that works.

[bloodbiter]

[you lost her at artificial gravity]

I'm sorry, I don't believe I follow. What do you mean that there's nothing like that around?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Well, there's no planet or anything nearby. We're kind of in... empty space? From what I can see. So there's nothing to give us that gravitational pull. This spaceship couldn't have enough mass on its own, otherwise it would never have taken off in the first place.

[bloodbiter]

I see. So, it doesn't weigh enough to pull other objects near... But it seems very large to me.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

It's not just size. Mass is... bigger than something just being heavy. It'd have to be massive to have the kind of mass that has its own gravitational pull.

[heyyyy sorta science joke]

[bloodbiter]

I see. So it is both size and weight combined?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Err... sort of? Weight is a force and can vary, and mass is something that helps determine that force? [no, there is no way he can go that deep into physics stuff] I don't think I'm explaining this right.

[bloodbiter]

[a small laugh]

It's alright if it's too difficult to explain. As I said, I doubt I would fully understand it regardless.

[but look, here she is at the ceiling... time to try and figure out how to get a few feet over where her pencil ended up.]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Sorry. It's just trying to figure out which concept you'd know and which you wouldn't is... way harder than I thought it'd be.

[he's just going to look at her looking at the pencil and suggest, uselessly:]

Try kicking off the wall.

[bloodbiter]

It's no cause for apology. In fact, I should thank you for explaining as much as you did. It's very fascinating to me.

[adrien why]

How am I to reach the wall?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Hmm. Try swimming?

[is he trying to be unhelpful on purpose-- yes. yes he is]

[bloodbiter]

...I am having trouble understanding your sudden obtuseness.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[laughs a bit]

Swimming movements, I mean. It might work? Otherwise, I don't think you'll be able to get it like this. I might have to turn the gravity back to normal first.

[bloodbiter]

[that sounds look it would look Undignified so she nods]

If you would, I would appreciate it.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[he goes and is very careful to put the gravity back to normal slowly so she doesn't CRASH TO THE FLOOR]

One trip back down, coming up. [beat] Well, not literally.

[bloodbiter]

Thank you.

[down she comes!! and once she's safely on the ground, she's grabbing her pencil. victory. once she has it, she glances over at him.]

I came in here to draw... What did you come here for? To explore?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Yeah, pretty much. I like to know the new places on the ship when they open.

[bloodbiter]

It's definitely useful for a distraction, if nothing else.

[which brings her to her next point because she is Concerned About Him as always, stop being too cute and happy for this murdership adrien]

Speaking of which... How are you faring after the trial?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[he seems to think about it for a second before replying:]

I'm fine? I didn't know Kazuma very well. What he did was... beyond messed up, but I'm glad no one else had to die because of it.

[also look adelina he is 100% about repression of bad feelings he will always being 2 cute and happy for murdership]

[bloodbiter]

[shakes him until his repressed feelings come tumbling out]

I see. I won't say I'm glad about any part of these circumstances, but... I'm relieved that you seem to be moving past it.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

You don't need to worry about me. There were people a lot closer to him who got hurt because of this.

[adrien feels like he tells people not to worry about him once a day at least jfc guys hes a Big Boy]

[bloodbiter]

I don't need to, no, but please be honest. Does that prevent you from being concerned about the well being of anyone here?

[let her fuss it's in her nature]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

... No, I guess not. I just don't want you to fret about me. If there was ever anything really bothering me, I'd tell you.

[no he wouldn't]

[bloodbiter]

[if you're going to be full of shit can you at least be less obvious about it adrien]

Is showing concern for a friend somehow a negative act?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

No, of course not. That's not what I'm trying to say.

[listen he just... doesnt want to make people feel worse by having them constantly worried about him smh]
