That Time They All Met in the CQ

[chiseler]

[Let's be honest, nobody had time to info-share Monday what with motives going live after they came down from the top-level deck and also…you know. The whole awkward thing with the corpse. That happened.

Arrangements are made, the whiteboard's been moved and…there's a wedding.

What the fuck, Cradle.

Either way, assume that Luke found your character in person, sent a message via Furry Passing or contacted them via some other means to inform them about a group meeting up in the Captain's Quarters after the wedding to talk about their findings from the day before.

He's not a leader, and it's probably clear from the way he's leaning against the wall next to the whiteboard and dumping handfuls of space-brand Skittles into his mouth.]

All right…so this happened. [This, of course, being the top deck.] We were all up here yesterday and so we should probably start figuring stuff out. It weirds me out that Alice let us up here now after all this time. [He shrugs.] Who wants to go first?

...Congratulations? [ probably? ] Let Jason know I'll cut his dick off if he hurts Elizabeth. [ maybe he'll take it more seriously if it's coming out of adrien's mouth. sorry ]

I know. I've been, too. They change and a lot of the pathways get really small, though. I don't know... if they can change size, then why choose a host at all? Maybe they can change more than just their size.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I'll ... relay the message?

[or WILL HE. probably not.]

Well... they changed Rhys and Elizabeth's bodies, right? They were all. [makes a rawr gesture. this is completely wrong for this setting, but thanks for trying] You know. Messed up. But maybe they're not that strong without a host body to change?

[bloodteller]

Please do! [ look at this angelic face, why would you deny her this!!! ]

If we're assuming that the thing Jack saw in the video was the alien, that kind of debunks that, doesn't it...? But it's a good thought. Maybe they need host bodies to do something they can't do. I wonder... If it's like a virus... what's a virus without a host, anyway?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[because he doesn't want to talk to jason about his dick obviously???]

That's why I asked. That black thing... it doesn't look like something that'd need a host. [and then, hesitantly, because he's not sure he likes where she's going with the virus/host thing:] Usually the way to get rid of a virus is a vaccine. Maybe that's what those weird executions are. Some kind of vaccine for the aliens.

[bloodteller]

[ that does... get a moment of pause from her. ]

We both know Elizabeth is fine.

[ it's a firm, almost defensive statement. liz is a-ok. they both know that. ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

She is. Whatever Alice did, it worked. But... Rhys isn't.

[killing people only makes them dead]

[bloodteller]

What are you trying to say, Adrien?

[ okay maybe there's a tiny, tiny note of panic in her voice now. she just wanted to ask about his suit and then to tell him to pass a message to jason why is this nightmare hour ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

The only way we have right now to save the hosts is to have Alice deal with them. That's all I'm saying. [he bites his lip, hesitating] But that's not a real solution, because the only way for that is-- for them to be revealed to her, and that's been in trials. We're talking about a murder for a murder. I don't know.

[whispers why is it always goddamn murder]

Maybe if we could find and capture them first... Rhys was already dead, and he was loose on the ship. Maybe that's why she couldn't do it with him.

[ This is why Yuno is bae. ]

[antagonize]

[he is innocent in all of this??? cut adrien's dick off instead????]
