w2, sunday evening

[vivisexual]

[Siffrin is summoned to Yugamu's casual office.... And by that I mean the bar of the Erich & Wilburs where Yugamu's set up one of those clear plastic inflateable chairs with his ankle propped up. He has some sort of drink resting on the barstool next to him, but right now in his hands he's sipping from a vial of.... something.]

I'd challenge you to a game if I hadn't already put too much weight on my ankle today. What's up?

[siriuspuns]

You're never going to heal if you keep moving the way you do.

[ Uh. ]

I wanted to uh... check on you? After the, uh... Ramuda... thing.

[vivisexual]

Well I can't just sit around doing nothing!

[He needs to help!!]

Why me, though?

[siriuspuns]

Because...

[ McGillis is too difficult to talk to at the moment. Because they're not good at figuring out feelings talks for themselves, much less when it almost involved them being food for evil hand curse. Because they're a disaster of a person who can't help anyone else. ]

Because I don't come here often unless I wanted alcohol. I figured I would change it up.

[ They shrug. ]

And because you were with him. Were you close with him?

[vivisexual]

[He takes another sip from his vial.]

Hmm... I wouldn't say close? We were definitely friends, though. He made himself easy to get along with, after all.


Though maybe he wouldn't say the same of me... I don't know what to make of his true face.

w3, monday

[sideline]

[ hello, since i'm assuming siffrin will want to meet fran at his lab, they can both be here, though only in the main area of it and not in the back area. ]

Why do you want to make a bomb?

[siriuspuns]

To test how much this place can fix itself.

[ Shrug. ]

But I don’t really know how to make one. Do you have the ingredients?

[sideline]

There are less destructive ways to test that.

[ PLEASE SIFFRIN!!! but also. ]

Even if you did knew how to make one, I wouldn't tell if you if I did or did not.

[siriuspuns]

Any reason?

[sideline]

[ ... ]

Shouldn't it be obvious?

[siriuspuns]

What if it’s far from the boarding house?

[sideline]

There are still plenty other buildings nearby.

[siriuspuns]

Alright, alright. No blowing things up.

[ can't have fun here, damn! ]

But aren't you a little curious about this place?

[siriuspuns]

He sure was good at putting up a mask. Even McGillis was fooled!

[ Haha! ]

[vivisexual]

[Yugamu frowns.]

You shouldn't laugh. I'm sure Mr Fareed is very upset about it.

[siriuspuns]

[ Is that what they did? ]

S-sorry. I didn’t mean to laugh. [ They look away. ] It was… just a lot to deal with. This whole week has been awful.

[sideline]

[ FUN IS ALLOWED BUT LIKE. not the kind of fun that could cause others to get injured. ]

I am. I'm extremely about this place and I've been doing plenty of tests with the samples that I've taken from this place.

[siriuspuns]

Samples? Of what?

[sideline]

Everything. The plants, the soil, parts of the buildings—

[ and expectedly: ]

...those who have been infected.

[siriuspuns]

[ !!! ]

And what have you found? Anything that could help us!?

[sideline]

Sort of.

I haven't found anything that would act as a long-term fix. I've been able to come up with a new formula that will stabilize those who have become infected and make sure that things do not progress worse.

[ ... ]

Based on my notes. I don't have any test subjects to confirm...for lack of better words.

[vivisexual]

It has. I don't know whether I'm more worried about the infection spreading further or more people being somehow compelled to kill without even that factor.

[siriuspuns]

Can’t uh… Lynne help you? You’d have to ask her though…

[sideline]

I'm sure she'd agree if I asked her, however, if this still behaves like my current formulation, then I might end up just killing her.

[ can we have fran not do that? ]

[siriuspuns]

Okay, maybe don’t touch her!!!
