messy | w5 curfew: take me to spurch i'll twerk like a rat at the shrine of your shirts

There's a room made of flesh on the ship. Hopefully just the one.

[ piping up on this as her hand disappears into the pew again. ]

Room 020. We managed to break in through collaborative effort, but once we take samples we're thinking of welding it shut again.

Has it always been that way?

No, not in my nemory, but it's been closed off for six weeks now.

[ saves your typo because i know you're (redacted) ]

Adrastea, I mean you no offense, but all of your memory is terribly faulty.

[ he says this like a joke at least but also ]

[ no see it's a genshin thing, nemory,,,, (no) ]

I know, darling inquisitor, but in this case there's nothing even itching at a headache when I think of "a closet wall that moves like it's breathing, and a pillow made of coils of flesh."

[ DON'T JUST JOKE BACK WITH THAT KIND OF THING? ]

[ ew. ]

Well, thank the Flame for small mercies, I suppose. How kind of the ship not to assign anyone to sleep there.

[ it was gross! "you wrote it" it was still gross! ]

And let Rex Lapis strike down whoever put that in there in the first place.

It was slow moving or stationary, depending, even when we were touching it or prodding at it with anything sharp. Small mercies continue.

Breathing indeed.

[ ew. ]

It does certainly suit theories... [ hm.

hmmmmmm he frowns a little deeper. ]

[UH.]

I was wonderin' if they shoved three people in room 1 just to be assholes, but it's starting to sound like that was a good thing...

[ with the most disgusted tone you've ever heard ]

The pillow moved.

Oh my god. Please tell me you killed it with fire.

Adrastea-san shot it with an arrow. I'm pretty sure it's dead.

The rest of it is still there, though.

Ugh, not enough. As long as there's something left, it can still come back from the dead.

Adrastea-san's already thinking of ways to take care of it. We didn't really have the tools for it, though... A bow and arrows, knife, and crowbar aren't much against a whole flesh room.

[a slight shudder.]

That's so gross... Jesus. I'll see where Adrastea's with that. The sooner we can get rid of that room, the sooner we can get a good night's sleep.

At least you didn't touch it.

[ that's gonna haunt his nightmares ]

I have no idea what's going on in that room, but I want it gone ASAP.

WHY HAVEN'T YOU ALREADY?!

Well, in this case, it's locked down again until we have the tools to weld it shut.

I sent a message ahead to Acquada to borrow something from them once we make planetfall. Everything the Volk had was too heavy duty, it would've blown a hole in the door - opposite of what we want, here.

What?????

[ THIS ISN'T THE SAYA NO UTA CYOA ]

Room 20. Not all of it is fleshy, but way too much of it is. Just be glad your room's down the hall.

Wait, it's one of the dorm rooms?? What the fuck........

Yeah, you know the one that's all errored out? It's probably because it's a flesh room now.

[ disgusting. ]

Oh my god, I thought that was just because it was empty. Like. Dividing by zero or whatever.

I'd thought it was maybe like - some past crew stayed there, so without them here it wigged out. But no, it had to be worse because nothing on this ship is ever chill.
