SURPLUS AMOUNT OF BODY SIGNATURES DETECTED IN BRIG THAN REQUESTED. INITIATING EJECTION...

This week is a little different from the last. So many of you stayed at the brig with the Senior Crew to take shifts watching over the incarcerated. Everyone is vigilant, this time prepared. Even if this may not work, there's a desire to show resistance and defiance, or maybe it's just a night to bond...

All is calm, peaceful, until dawn breaks.

Emergency alarms blare loudly, waking everyone up and, if that isn't enough, everyone is force-ejected outside the brig and stasis bay, briefly capable of seeing their capsuled dead with Viktor recently added to the number. The senior crew get no special treatment, with the one on duty falling on their ass with the rest of you right by your lockers here. The familiar barrier falls down, preventing anyone from going through... This week, you do not need to crowd around to get a glimpse. The security cameras work now and everyone can watch the cell from their I.R.I.S.

They will be able to perfectly see Eunhyuk and Rosamund.

IN THE STASIS BAY . . .

[dropoffs]

[rosebleed]

[She hadn't been back to the brig since last night. Something about it chilled her too coldly to bear. The pods had looked like coffins before there were bodies in them, and the last man who stayed in the cell beyond ripped his own throat out.

When the alarms blare and she's called, personally, to come contend with the problem, her pulse batters against her skin with a battle-ready thrum. She collects her bow, her quiver, and changes to the ragged, stained, ripped gown she's been fighting in since she woke in her tower. She trusts it better than these new zippered and buttoned and crinkling fabrics. And she won't mind if it gets ruined further.

She catches a few eyes on her way in, but doesn't nod, doesn't smile. Rosamund moves silently past the Stasis Bay into the Brig. Her bow is in hand and she draws an arrow loose. Ready for anything.]

Eunhyuk?

[inquired]

[ hi. i could put more effort into this but i will not. we're here. ]

"Surplus amount of body signatures."

[ actually

i guess the ejection of the people in it makes a difference. that answers that question!!!! ]

[riverbeans]

[well. charles is among those getting ejected from the brig/stasis bay, in the same clothes he was wearing yesterday and looking like he hasn't gotten much, if any sleep. it's fine.

HE IS NOT LOOKING HAPPY AS HE GLARES AT THIS FUCKIN BARRIER]

[sexyasmieu]

[ anise was just kind of hanging near the entrance to the stasis bay when suddenly people are getting spat out from there! ]

Aaah! What!?

[psynchroneyes]

[ ummmm welp she is pulling up her iris right away. she is also here yikes. ]

Oh, hell, please don't tell me this means what I think it does.

[applebough]

[ ... ]

... I guess he didn't get the chance to ask them after all.

[teenrebellion]

Again?

[ immediately looking for adrastea what the fuck!! ]

[solesuccess]

[ hi he's here and he's alarmed by not only all of these people suddenly being spat out but by that notification. ]

"Unstable readings", huh.

[ GREAT. ]

[tombtaker]

[ i am on a plane so

:tiefling-standing: ]

[expiries]

[after being yeeted]

...Of course.

[drymonster]

[ he is... still on crutches. sometimes you just don't feel like going to a med pod that was part of a crime scene a few hours earlier. ]

What?? Why did they just throw everyone out only to bring someone else in?

[naeddre]

[she's far away from everybody, watching her IRIS. but she's here.]

[dropoffs]

[ thebe is just racing down here immediately, footsteps thrumming along the halls towards the stasis bay. they're quick to arrive, as though they weren't very far away to begin with. as they kind of skid to a stop just where people are being yeeted—

hurtling out from their shift, metis just gets yeetis'd out of the brig and stasis bay and ends up slamming right into thebe. the two of them go flying right into the lockers, metis holding their right arm to themself and thebe just kind of clinging tightly to them while hitting the back of their helmet against the locker briefly. ]

... Right place... right time... Metis... you good?

[messy]

[

anyway, she is kicking the barrier after getting booted out. wearing the same clothes as yesterday, accompanied by two hyenas.]

Oh, for fuck's sake!

[pyromance]

[ he is standing close to the barrier, watching the footage on his IRIS device. his body language is terse. ]

[uncoincidental]

[gets yote out of the brig and stasis bay and is immediately mad about it. she rushes back to the barrier, though.]

Darn it!

[discomfort]

[ he just watches everyone get fuckin yeeted and just pulls his blanket closer. ]

Ah...

[freckledarcher]

[Ashe is watching on his I.R.I.S. amazed that he can see it so clearly. The technology not distracting him from his concern about his roommate. They've only been rooming together for a little while, still she's so nice he can't help worrying about her.]

[perfectdistance]

[ He's standing at the barrier, looking tense. ]

[baebladie]

[ Welp. This is happening now, it looks like...

He'll be keeping a close eye on things as nearby as possible. ]

[murdergate]

Fucking hells.

[ he slaps his palms against the barrier. once, twice. shockwaves from the force he put in shakes through his arms. obviously, the barrier does not budge. ]

[perfectpower]

[Watching all of this with a focused look, because things are different this time and he wants to see as much as he can.]
