[ yes.



well, no. whenever he does wake up, thorns will be there, but it's because he is bringing a large box inside. ]

[transmit]

[ he's already close to waking by the time thorns returns, hovering in that half-dream state, but the noise is enough to jolt him fully awake.

he sits up. ]

Where'd that come from?

[ they're out at sea?? ]

[oversea]

From the kitchen.

[ he opens the top of it and



it is full of potatoes. ]

We have a potato thief.

[transmit]

[ for a moment, it looks as if thorns' words don't register at all. until they do. ]




People have really enjoyed giving me potatoes lately for some reason.

[ that's because they consistently work ]

[oversea]

[ ...

he moves in front of the box, almost protectively. ]

You've been taking my potatoes...?

[ as if elysium didn't just say people have been giving them to him. ]

[transmit]

[ WHY IS HE BEING ACCUSED ]

It's not like I know where they come from. I just put them back in the kitchen.

[ … ]

And if you're so protective of them, shouldn't you be taking better care of them in the first place?

[oversea]

Are you calling me a bad captain?

[ that is not what elysium said, but it is how thorns is choosing to interpret his words. ]

[transmit]

If the basis is looking after potatoes, maybe?

[ DON'T JUST GO ALONG WITH IT ]

I can tell you who's been giving them to me…

[oversea]

[ he is... a bad captain?

... ]

No, I'll figure it out.

[transmit]

Is it just me, or are you taking these potatoes a little too seriously?

[ oh my god. ]

They have nothing to do with how you perform as a captain. Keeping inventory can be delegated to anyone you trust…

It can be me?

[oversea]

[ he failed... at such a basic task? throw him overboard. ]

Do you want it as a job?

[transmit]

Sure. I'll take care of the potato thieves for you, so we can put that back wherever it came from…

[ they aren't in the pantry. don't make elysium room with potatoes. ]

[oversea]

[ ...

thorns sighs and picks up the box. he will go and leave now with it... ]

[transmit]

[ help

he scrambles to get up and follows after him… thorns… don't crash out over potatoes?? ]

[oversea]

[ he is returning these stupid potatoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he glances over his shoulders when he hears footsteps following after him... ]

[transmit]

We're headed the same way.

[ stop giving him attitude. ]

Do you have a problem?

[oversea]

You just woke up...

[ elysium really opened his eyes and was greeted by potatoes. ]

You should go back to bed.

[transmit]

How can I when you look like these potatoes are about to give you a crisis?

[ he catches up and tries to take the box of potatoes from thorns. how successful is he. ]

You've been working all day. You're the one who needs to relax——so, let me.

[oversea]

[ now both of them are holding onto this box. ]

Have you brushed your teeth yet?

[ don't use his vanity against him... ]

[transmit]

[ okay. well. he's actively tugging on it. ]

Did it look like I had the time to? I'll do it after I move this box back.

[oversea]

[ they're both just tugging on it then. ]

Isn't it heavy for you?

[transmit]

If you haven't been eating your vitamins, you should at least get proper rest.

[ the tugging turns into yanks. ]

[oversea]

[


he lets go. ]

[transmit]

[ VICTORY

quickly ducks away to put the potatoes back. he is so stupid. ]

[oversea]

[ help...

thorns watches him go, and then he turns around and makes his way back to his room. ]
