[ stretching in the middle of the simulation room, which is currently displaying a sunny beach scene. he glances over a little warily when he hears someone come in, but charles doesn't immediately set off any creep alarms, so he offers a smile. ]
Aaah, even if it's fake, it feels nice after being stuck in that stupid room all day yesterday!

Right? If we can't actually go outside, this is the next best thing.

Takes some of the edge off the whole cold-void-of-space thing, anyway. The cabin fever must have been rough up here before they invented things like this.
Haha, I don't even want to think about it. One day of being trapped in the bay was enough, never mind our future of being stuck on this ship for a week without any outdoors.
There's definitely a big difference between staying inside because you feel like it and staying inside because you're not allowed to leave.

[help.
he nods.]
And it sounds like we'll be arriving at the next destination in a week, so hopefully we can get some real air then.

Hm... maybe? I don't think most other planets even have air, but I guess these places must be able to sustain life somehow if they're sending out delivery orders.
I'll be honest, I'm completely out of my league here so I'll take your word for it.

That's about the extent of my space knowledge, to be honest. Kind of seems like they could have done better as far as choosing a crew for this.
...
You're right, why did they recruit a bunch of people inexperienced with space for a space crew? Isabel and Margaret are the only ones I've met who're right at home.

Right? There are even kids and a huge shark guy. Unless this is supposed to be a slapstick comedy sketch, I don't really know what they were going for here.
[internally, charles wonders what a slapstick comedy sketch is supposed to be, but he can guess from context....]
Well... if nothing else, Sidon's a friendly guy, and the kids seem smart—but it is pretty messed up.
[NUTS & BOLT WHY DO YOU SUPPORT CHILD LABOUR]

The whole thing's still so shady, too. I mean, not a single person remembers signing those contracts??
Tell me about it... Baiken talked about the possibility of someone else like an unhelpful acquaintance or an enemy signing our names for us, but I don't know how much I believe in that theory yet.
[hard to say one way or another.]
D'you think there's anything that would get you to sign, in theory?

...Yeah, probably. But if I don't remember getting it, then this is a total ripoff.

[hi... charles is pacing around the ship, though he'll pause when he sees todomatsu. there's a lot of grief and shock and guilt coming from him, though a blip of relief comes through when he sees that todomatsu's okay.
though outwardly, for the most part, he seems calm.]
... Hey.

... Hey.
[ yeah, shock is the big mood here!! tinged with sadness and confusion and anxiety. it's great. ]
Hey. [ ... ] It seems like no one really has any idea what happened, huh?

... I have some guesses for Luke, but Dahut is a complete mystery to me.
[we saw luke die, but dahut was fine.]
[we saw luke die, but dahut was fine.]
Yeah. He collapsed in front of everyone on the observation deck just moments before we blacked out—and given that everything we were experiencing through the nanites or whatever stopped then, it's safe to assume that was his moment of death.
[ what the fuck ]
He just... collapsed? Like, out of nowhere?
He just... collapsed? Like, out of nowhere?
... Not exactly. We were all feeling pains soon after being locked in, but none of us were sure where they were coming from. In hindsight, he was the source.
So... I think he already had health issues that he didn't want people to know about.

Oh... So it was, like. A heart attack, or something like that, maybe?
[ that brings a pang of a more familiar kind of anxiety with it. ]

Something like that, I guess... Of course, don't take my word for it. I'm just guessing, since that's all we can do for now.

You okay? Worried about a heart attack yourself?
