He thinks he's cursed...

[ still. there is the faintest of amusement in his voice. ]

Just remember the ship isn't that big.

[transmit]

If you'd seen the repair job he was trying to do, you'd give him a scare, too. Why are these guys pretending to do what they can't for brownie points? You should probably look into it.

[ scolds. ]

I can do a lot of this for you. Useful, aren't I? Heheh.

[ SPYING!!!! ]

[oversea]

[ he thinks elysium is having a lot of fun with this... a sort of suspicious amount of fun, but thorns figures he'll likely get bored of it eventually, so there's no harm. ]

Be careful of what you spy on. If you get caught you might be punched.

[transmit]

[ he is… why is he having fun out of nowhere… crazy. there is something charming about watching thorns in his new natural habitat without the weight of an eventual farewell. ]

If I was going to get caught, don't you think it would've already happened by now?



There's a reason why I never go where the Señora does. Though, I suspect she's known as long as you have.

[ he doesn't think they can afford her pulling out another wheel ]

[oversea]

She trusts you enough to know that you're not endangering the ship.

[ the problem may be more for those who hadn't gotten close to elysium, but there is enough people who can put in a good word for him it should be fine... ]

[transmit]

It still feels dangerous testing my luck around her…

[ he isn't ready to fight for his life when his heart is still full of whimsy, okay… ]

So? You didn't just find me to offer me a bed, did you?

[oversea]

No.

[ he really was willing to see how long this would go before elysium cracked, but. ]

I thought you left.

[transmit]

[ never………

or at least until they docked, and elysium would want to tag along to whatever town or city that'd take them to. ]

I didn't say bye, did I?

[oversea]

... I suppose you didn't.

[ is he bad for assuming that elysium might have just ditched...? ]

[transmit]

[ yes. the worst. ]

Mhm. Are you going to head back to your cabin now? It's late.

[oversea]

I might just do a walk around.

[ ... ]

I can bring you food. And supplies.

[transmit]

I still have a good amount of the rations that were meant for my way back.

[ hmm. how to work this. ]

But if there's anything you need from me or want to give me, you can probably just leave it on your table and I'll get it eventually.

[ besides him, only nene would have the audacity to break into the captain's quarters… ]

[oversea]

...Okay.

[ he really is committing to a prank. but thorns has no reason to think this will last longer than a week at most. ]

But tell me when you get bored of it.

[transmit]

Mhm. If I plan on going anywhere, I'll let you know.

[ what is this… communication??????? ]

[oversea]

... Cool.

[ ?????? ]

I'm going to take a sweep of the ship. [ ... ] Where are you staying?

[transmit]

I didn't answer you the first time. What makes you think I'll answer the second?

[ taps thorns' forehead. ]

You'll have to figure that one out yourself.

[ like a minigame… find his body in ihop ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY. ANNOYING. ]

That won't be hard.

[transmit]

Uh huh. Then when you get lonely, you know where to go.

[ makes it even more annoying for him to. ]

[oversea]

Don't you mean when you do?

[ elysium is the one with only thorns to talk to... ]

[transmit]

[ he is a creep currently getting his enrichment through people watching…

but yeah that itself would get old eventually. ]

I said what I said.

[ are we really counting the other people around thorns atm aside from like. weedy. speaking of— ]

But no, Weedy knows I'm still here, too. Just by virtue of letting her know it wasn't me handing back our report. Now——her expression was funny. If only you could've seen it!

[oversea]

You told her and not me...

[ there is a work related reason he told weedy and not him but whatever. ]

[transmit]

[

brackets left intentionally blank. ]

Are you jealous?

[oversea]

No.

[ weedy is his best friend? whoa. ]

[transmit]

The few times I've spoken to her, it's mostly to see what I could help her with. She's having the time of her life studying La Conquista.

… Which I guess is the Cuna de Nene now? I can't believe you let that happen.

[oversea]

We practice democracy here.

[ thorns did not really care enough about the name. ]
