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. ]

[oversea]

[ it is hard to tell from the outside...

but thorns will walk in and, presumably, elysium follows. there seems to be a very wide variety of items in the shop that appear almost random since there's not really a theme... but thorns just walks up to the shopkeep and starts asking about things like beakers and the like.

his experiments.... ]

[transmit]

[ presumably, elysium follows… but he is getting too into the ghost larp it seems and disappears the moment they enter.

unless thorns looks for him specifically, he mysteriously cannot be found… ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY???

he looks around from where he is standing but since he is in conversation he can't just go and look for elysium... ]

[transmit]

[ what does thorns need elysium for…

he just shows up fifteen minutes later, a mound of things in tow. instead of the useless junk he's buying all the time back on rhodes, it's all fairly practical. some of it might leave thorns wondering what he's going to use any of it for, but trust the process!!!! ]

Everything good?

[oversea]

Yeah...

[ he eyes the items before turning to the worker. ]

And I'll be buying all of this as well.

[transmit]

[ immediately puts his hand up. ]

No, I'll be paying for this separately.

[oversea]

[ he just slowly turns to look at him

? ]

[transmit]

Consider it my portion of the rent.

[ !

the cashier wants nothing to do with this spat so they just stare at them blankly. what is their problem. ]

[oversea]

Huh? It's my ship. I decide that.

[ HE ISN'T CHARGING YOU RENT!!!!! ]
