One New Notification!

[airlockedmods]

[About a day after Cece's message arrives, another small blip! cuts its way through whatever conversations the Airlocked! survivors might be having. But it isn't happening in the space limo this time - it's on the Temerity proper. Some of you are more acquainted with the computer system here, so you should know what that sound means.

You have new Spitter messages!]

I probably deserve it

[daughterofthemark]

[Oh no. That was a sad sound.]

We will. You have my word.

[refusedtoleave]

...Good... You never know when you won't be able to...

[She'd been doing such a good job of not moping.]

[daughterofthemark]

...is is something you wish to discuss?

[No, of course it isn't. If it was she'd be discussing it. But it seems like it would be inconsiderate not to at least ask.]

[refusedtoleave]

It's nothing to concern yourself with...

[Yes, she's just brushing you off. She hasn't even talked about it with the crew.]

[daughterofthemark]

I see.

[That certainly seems like the end of that subject.

She sighs. Back to thinking about the others, she guesses.

...]

Dame Natsuhi, do I seem unreliable?

[refusedtoleave]

[She's still hanging her head and staring at her hands but thanks for the topic change.]

... You got out of that place. You couldn't be unreliable to do that.

[daughterofthemark]

[Perhaps one day they will find a discussion topic they both can enjoy.]

...conspicuous, perhaps? Would I stand out more than the others?

[refusedtoleave]

Umm... A lot of these is going to be waiting and being in queues.

[Do you see what she's getting at Mrs 'Run about on a tiny ship and pace like mad'?]

[daughterofthemark]

[...she doesn't. Sorry, Nappi, this is the girl who said this. She does get why that's supposed to be unpleasant, at least?]

...I suppose. But... Sir Junpei could have simply said that.

[refusedtoleave]

He probably assumed that you knew already. A lot of the others seems to know about these things.

[Why Junpei?]

[daughterofthemark]

[Because he's one of a few people who could successfully convince her to stay behind.]

Then--

[She has no particular way to end that sentence, so she just sighs, sitting down on the floor.]

This is not right.
