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.

[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]

[riverbeans]

[hi.]

Some of us stayed in the brig to keep watch over Eunhyuk, along with the senior crew. Wasn't expecting it work [and it clearly did NOT] but it was better than doing nothing at all.

[roseoftexas]

Did half the people on the ship sleep in the brig or something?

[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.

[expiries]

Yes.

[scowling after being yeeted from that very area]

[inquired]

[ watching charles get yeeted out like ah. i see ]

Mm. Adrastea had mentioned something like that yesterday... was Rosamund not with you all?

[teenrebellion]

Again?

[ immediately looking for adrastea what the fuck!! ]

[riverbeans]

[shakes his head]

No.

[inquired]

So it seems.

[ he just folds his arms, watching. ]

[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: ]

[roseoftexas]

... It was a nice thought.

[ one that didn't work, but hey. if they don't try they'll never know. ]

[inquired]

Odd... Then again, I suppose we ought not expect this ship to do anything that makes any remote sense.

[ at least rosamund is Ready for something to happen, but also... a whole crew of people were right there apparently??? ]

Did you all observe anything strange, last night?

[ravenry]

[ she glances at yuri but doesn't put words to her question. ]

[expiries]

[after being yeeted]

...Of course.

[riverbeans]

No. We mostly just chatted and Eunhyuk told us the best means of killing him.

[inquired]

[ eunhyuk support club.... im sad i missed it ]

...well. Better to know what could happen, I suppose. [ he gets a quick once over to make sure he's ok? how are your bones from sleeping on the floor. but otherwise, back to the main event. ]

[pathematic]

[when Rosamund arrives, she will see... Eunhyuk! Only Eunhyuk, and no one else in the group who'd watched over him, who wanted to understand what could possibly happen and prevent it for not only his sake, but for everyone else's.

He is standing. He's spent that entire night against the farthest wall of the cell, but now he is right up against the glass, hands leaving bloody marks, eyes wide -- pupils blown out. He's hunched over, trying to breathe. inhale, exhale, inhale, inhale, inhale. he can do this, no he can't, he can't he can't he can'thecan't, the tool, viktor's -- does he still have viktor's -- if he could just use it now - now nownownow

at Rosamund's voice, he looks up, and his eyes are completely black. He doesn't even seem to register her at first, eyes darting to the bow in her hand, arrows drawn.]

I have to die. Give me the arrow.

[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?
