week 2, post-trial

[slobjection]

[ phoenix is hunting her down! ]

Hi there. Nice work at the trial today.

[recrypt]

Haha. ♪ You think so? I don't think I did all that much, really.

[ just watched and waited. ]

[slobjection]

You had very good dramatic timing.

I do have a question for you, though.

[recrypt]

And what would that be, Herr Phoenix?

[slobjection]

Mind telling me a little more about the antidote? I must have missed it the first time you did.

[recrypt]

I didn't. Beau, I believe, was the one who got it out in the open.

She must have known about it from Hunter, I assume.

[slobjection]

[ he's being sassy..... ]

Is it the kind of thing you're prefer to play closer to the chest? Metaphorically, of course.

[recrypt]

Well, there are other people better suited for acting in the limelight. I've been accused of skulking in the shadows more than a few times.

... But rather, the reason I didn't speak up sooner is twofold.

[slobjection]

Good thing you're taking my advice, then.

[ and yelling out in german. ]

Oh?

[recrypt]

We're not sure if it'll work. It looks like an antidote that Peach might have been working on, but- we got it during our excursion, so to speak.

I'd also rather not have gotten everyone's hopes up early and made them give up the idea of looking further into things just because they think they have a safety net.

[slobjection]

Fair enough. We do have a very hasty bunch here.

[ ha ha. ]

What did Peach herself have to say about it?

[recrypt]

I haven't had a chance to talk with her after we got it, outside of today. Hunter was the one who spoke to her.

[ haha ]

That said, given her reaction at the trial... I suppose she must think it might work.

[slobjection]

[ ha ha. ]

And do you believe her?

[recrypt]

I'm prepared for what will happen if she's wrong.

[ ha ha. ]

[slobjection]

Hope so.

[ because that would be rough, buddy ]

[recrypt]

Don't-

[ she tsks, waving a hand ]

-be like that. I volunteered, after all. I'm used to handling the dirty work.

[ see: occupation - gun ]

[slobjection]

Used to this kind of situation...?

[recrypt]

Herr Phoenix, if you expect me to believe that you haven't gone through and memorized our available profiles then you'd be insulting my intelligence.

[slobjection]

[ he laughs! ]

Well, despite your experience..... this is a pretty unique scenario.

[recrypt]

[ she hums. ]

I'll bite. How so?

[slobjection]

[ zombies....... does he really need to explain in. ]

It's like something you'd see in a horror movie.

[recrypt]

Please. I have a teammate obsessed with the entire biopunk genre. I've heard enough about The Flying Dead for a lifetime.

[ so maybe at this point she's just inured to the shock of suddenly zombies. or maybe she's just good at rolling with the blows. who knows. ]

week 4, whenever the hell movie theater thread is (tuesday?)

[recrypt]

[ there's a sheaf of notes in her bag. she flips through it, picks out one, and copied down on it reads:

ORGANIC BEING WEAK POINTS
BRAIN
HEART
LIVER?
STOMACH?
ORGANIC BEINGS HAVE MANY WEAK POINTS.

FURTHER STUDY OF THE BRAIN SHALL BE TAKEN IN PREPARATION OF PROTECTING VARIOUS ORGANIC BEING WEAK POINTS. ]

[slobjection]

Huh.... interesting.

Your journal?

[ it is obviously not shut up phoenix ]

[recrypt]

[ Deadpan: ]

Yes, I failed the introductory vital point course, so I have to keep a reminder of what to shoot at in case any zombies pop up.

[slobjection]

Good thinking.

[ :) ]

Is this new evidence, or from your previous excursion?

[recrypt]

Former. Hunter and Akechi should have all the records from the previous excursion.

[ that isn't to say she didn't make any copies from memory, but. ]

Dug around in the research lab some. The computers are pretty useless- this was the only thing legible I managed to get off them.

[slobjection]

Who do you think wrote it?

[ clearly it was luna ]

[recrypt]

You ask so many questions, Herr Phoenix- surely you must have your own ideas by now.

[ it was definitely luna ]

[slobjection]

Luna.

[ this is a very serious answer ]

[recrypt]

That must be it. I can't believe she managed as a doctor for so long.

[ the doctor cheatsheet: brain injury... bad ]

[slobjection]

We've solved the case, once and for all.

[recrypt]

Anyway, the rest of the things on the computers being completely unrecognizable is interesting, considering we can all understand each other.

[ but, you know, whatever. ]

[slobjection]

Can you give me more details....?

[ that sounds interesting ]

[recrypt]

I can't. They're otherwise nominally functional computers, if completely ancient, but most anything stored on them renders as a completely unfamiliar script.

[ she pulls out another note. there's what just looks like random scribbles on it? it looks like. whatever the unreadable language in the research lab computers renders as, tbh. ]

[slobjection]

There seems be a lot of that going around. May I?

[ unless she says no he will make a crayon copy of the note ]

[recrypt]

[ go and make your crayon copy, feenie, and also why haven't you stolen a pen from the study like other people have yet. ]

Remind me where else it's been found so far?

[slobjection]

[ he has a pen but this is funnier. ]

In the... what do you call it? Blood room, there's also unintelligible writing.

[recrypt]

[ that's fair. ]

The red room? Hm.

Written in blood too, I suppose?

[slobjection]

Naturally.

[ so creepy. ]

[recrypt]

I wonder if we'll have enough to try to decipher an alphabet...

[ or it could be a red herring like half the shit in this house. ]

[slobjection]

... Try asking the girls about it. Maybe they can read it. They'll probably be able to tell us if it's anything relevant if we ask.

[recrypt]

Do you always outsource these kinds of findings to other people, Herr Phoenix?

[slobjection]

Yep.

[ sparkles ]

I was going to ask too, of course.... but we might get different answers, don't you think?

[recrypt]

[ their conversations consist solely of the both of them trying to shove work at the other. ]

Maybe. In that case, you better not die before you report back on your findings.

[slobjection]

[ yea they're both great at it ]

Wouldn't dream of it.

[ immediately dies ]
