[charles is pacing around, a lot of grief and shock and guilt coming from him despite his outwardly calm (if tense) appearance, though it does feel like he respectfully tries to mute them a little when he runs into owner.
... Luke, looking back, I could see it coming. He was feeling worse than everyone else, and I get the feeling he knew but didn't want to let anyone know. [pang of guilt.] And if those were his last words in that message we got... it does sound like he had some kind of condition.
[pixi: if charles would yell this to the group then he doesn't get to notice anything actually I HATE PIXI THIS FORESHADOWING]
Dahut seemed relatively fine, though. At least, at the time we all blacked out.
Apparently, that override the senior crew attempted should not have failed. So something was going on last night that seem more dastardly than not. If Luke-sama wasn't trapped in that room, perhaps something could have been done for him?
... Maybe. Honestly, if it was his own health—damn it. Why didn't he say something when he started feeling worse? We had a doctor in the room!
[i know that's unfair to think. i can get why someone would want to hide that.]
Since we didn't do a space jump, apparently the whole lockdown was likely triggered by a malfunction or abnormality. If we can figure out what that might be...
[and despite everything, there is the vibe that charles is used to death so he is not really about to lose his shit/he does not need a ton of time to grieve.]
The senior crew said we'll have access to their bodies tomorrow. To do an autopsy, I guess. [we are not that far in the audience] Not really my expertise, but...
Sounds like that might be the case. [looks at his i.r.i.s. to read off his new message.] "Depending on what we can figure out tonight, we may need to run a proper examination and investigation tomorrow. Just to follow protocol."
No, I assume mostly everyone will be some level of upset, and may seek each other's company, unless they prefer to spend moments like this alone. We may have not known each other for long, but at this point we are all that we have for the next few months.
[ even if you're a stranger it's still surprising. ]
I am fine. This sort of thing does not affect me like it would others, I admit. While I do want to figure out what happened to try to prevent it from occurring again, and I did enjoy being with those two, I cannot say I am that upset.
[ there's a pause. ]
Or, at least, upset in a way that normal people would find acceptable.
It may be stereotyping, but it is fairly true. Death does not carry the same weight. I apologize in advance if anything I say ends up being insensitive because of that.

Good to see you're still around, Owner.

I am afraid I did not think we would be needing to say that.
[ who fuckin knew that a random thursday would be the last time they'd see some people. ]
no subject
... I wish we didn't, either.
[watching luke die was bad enough. what happened to dahut?]
no subject
What happened with Luke-sama?
[ some people were in NORMAL CURFEWS ]
no subject
... We're not sure. He collapsed right before we blacked out, and—everything that, in hindsight, we were experiencing from him stopped with it.
Right now, best guess would be health issues that got worse either through bad luck or sabotage, or somehow poison.
no subject
[ poison, or the worst timing of all time, then. ]
I wouldn't think Dahut-san would also be health issues... He isn't near twenty-three...

[ this seems beyond their pay grade, actually. ]
We should probably try gather everyone together soon. Perhaps give them some time to grieve, and then try to get answers collectively.
[ he does not mean as literal as what will happen tomorrow ]
no subject
... Yeah. I want answers.

They want us to do it?

no subject
[ that is something they didn't include in the orientation powerpoint ]
It sounds like tomorrow may be a busy day, then.
no subject
Guess everyone better prepare themselves and get some rest, although that's not an easy thing to do right now.

But mostly I just want you to know not to worry about me.
