[ not the public example. why are they pirates if they can't do crime… tch.

but elysium just sees this and laughs before skipping his way over to the pier. only after thorns finishes his official business with the local authorities does elysium pop out of nowhere, hands laced behind his back. ]

Hi. Where're we going?

[oversea]

[ he just raises a brow, but doesn't have much of a reaction outside of that. elysium did say he would have been interested in getting off the ship when they dock, so seeing him isn't that surprising. ]

A few shops.

[transmit]

[ it's been so long since he's been taken out on a walk, thank you thorns ]

For the ship? What else?

[oversea]

I need new lab equipment.

[



it's important to HIM. ]

[transmit]

I was thinking there's been fewer explosions recently. What did you do…

[oversea]

The beakers on board may have been older than I thought. They melted.

[transmit]

You've been having all this fun without an assistant, huh?

[oversea]

I don't trust any of them to keep up.

[transmit]

You haven't thought about asking the friendly resident ghost…?

[oversea]

The resident ghost may get caught.

[transmit]

I think there's someone your crew might be more scared of now over the ghost…


The resident unfriendly chemist.

[oversea]

[ he reaches over to pinch him. ]

[transmit]

—Hey!

[ squirms!!!! ]

Who's going to find me unless you tattle?

[oversea]

What if someone stops by?

[ ... ]

I can see how quick you are at hiding.

[transmit]

[ not thorns also being invested in elysium not getting found now… literally what is anyone going to do about him being here. nothing. this is so funny. ]

You can! You get to see it for yourself how resourceful I am, too!

[oversea]

[ he is curious as to how long elysium can keep this up before either getting caught or giving up. ]

... Uh huh. Did you need to get anything, by the way?

[transmit]

[ forever… ]

Hm? Am I a part of the headcount for the budget?

[oversea]

You became it as soon as you decided to stay on board.

[ he needs to account for the food elysium swipes... ]

[transmit]

I thought I could be a rounding error…

[ he's trying to be low maintenance… ]

I'll be fine as long as we find a hardware store. I was hoping to pick up a few tools and materials.

[oversea]

You should get more. It'll probably be a while before we dock somewhere with stores again.

[ especially since what he needs might not be something readily available on board... ]

[transmit]

Makes sense… I'll keep it all in your room. I'm running out of space where I'm at.

That, and some more multivitamins would probably be a good idea. You're still remembering to take yours, yeah?

[oversea]

... Yeah...

[ he sounds unhappy about this though. ]

[transmit]

Is it that unpleasant to admit I'm right, amigo?

[oversea]

You can sound less smug.

[ he pauses, looking towards a shop before pointing at it. ]

This one, I think.

[transmit]

You're being too sensitive. If anything, you're even worse than I am when it's the other way around. Who's even like this when they've got a friend who's looking out for them? Just you.

[ but he peers towards the direction thorns points…

what are they looking at. ]
