[ Hello Phoenix, Escha is in the kitchen to stress bake. Except she kind of got it all out of her system yesterday, so instead she makes it as far as pulling out a baking sheet and then just. Stopping and standing there by the counter. ]

... This isn't fair.

[slobjection]

[ phoenix came to get snacks.... but he leans against the door. ]

Not particularly, no.

[ helpful. ]

Seems we're in it for the long haul, though.

[applechemist]

I wish I could think that because it was just an accident, it would just be one thing. And next week, nothing would happen.

But I know that's not true. I can't even get my hopes up for it.

[slobjection]

Best not to, at this point.

[ thanks for being a ray of sunshine, phoenix. ]

There's something else at play here, though. I'm sure you noticed.

[applechemist]

[ Escha's on the side of optimism... But she is also on the side of realism, and right now the two are in conflict, so. Realism it is. ]

Yeah... I just wish we knew more about it.

Because what's going to happen next week? On the ship, people killed because they were possessed, but if no one here is possessed...

[slobjection]

[ phoenix is on the side of tired. perpetually. ]

We might have to wait until Monday for answers on that front. ... Or at least, the beginning of an answer.

[applechemist]

The waiting is the worst part.

Week 1 Monday

[applechemist]

[ this really does not need to be private because it's. not a secret. But while playing never have i ever, Escha leans in to whisper in Phoenix's ear. ]

It's Logy.

[ ........... Not that Phoenix knows? Who that is? It's fine. ]

[slobjection]

[ look it's bc otherwise it will get lost in the sea of never have i evers ]

Who's that?

[ cute... ]

[applechemist]

My coworker. Back home and - on the island.

[slobjection]

Tell me about them.

[ dreamy logy ]

[applechemist]

Well... He's my coworker. We spend all of our time together and we both work really hard. We each do what the other can't handle.

Being around him is just comfortable. It makes me happy.

[slobjection]

That's how it should be.

[ cute.... ]

So he was on the boat with you?

week 3, ...... post-magnus?? tuesday???

[slobjection]

[ we can also put some memshare in here!! anyway phoenix is leading escha to a secluded place. the kitchen. ]

You could bake a little something... just for him.

[applechemist]

[ Escha follows along! ]

Bake him something...? And - what, make it really spicy or something?

[ ...... somehow, she feels like Magnus would just. Enjoy it anyway. ]

[slobjection]

Ask the director for some laxatives.

[ smiles ]

[applechemist]

That's too mean! I won't do that!

[slobjection]

Not even a little bit?

[ it's a classic escha come on you work for the government ]

[applechemist]

[ Working for the government is exactly why she doesn't want to do that???? ]

I don't want to make him feel bad! Especially not physically!

week 5, monday!

[applechemist]

[ Escha saw his injuries at the Group Strip Check so she is here knocking on his cabin door! ]

Phoenix? It's Escha - I just wanted to see if you needed anything.

[slobjection]

[ it's open.... at this point he's just entirely covered in bandages and just taking it easy and sitting on the bed, so he waves her over. ]

Think I'm okay. but thanks. How are you holding up?

[applechemist]

[ she steps inside...! ]

I'm fine, too. But that looks... Pretty bad...

[ how is he always so relaxed... ]

[slobjection]

[ he's very good at appearing relaxed it's his only skill in life ]

Think most, if not all, are in a pretty bad spot right now.

[ melting escha (mescha) has no place to talk!!! not that phoenix knows that. ]

[applechemist]

Yeah... It really makes you realize how hard everyone has had it, even if it didn't show at first.

[slobjection]

All the more reason for us to stick together, right?

[ he pats a spot next to him, if she wants to come sit down ]
