We're Still Here, We Still Have Each Other

[It takes Fukawa some time to pull herself together but when she does-- she moves with a purpose. Everyone will find a note in practiced writing:]

Though all we've be through today was awful, and you might not want to face it-- you're not facing it alone. There will be food and drink in the VIP Lounge. And company. Whatever your feelings are now, it's okay. I won't tell you want to think or how to feel. But you don't have to carry it alone.

[True to her word, she worked hard to make snacks and light warm foods for everyone as well as drinks-- alcoholic and otherwise. Everyone is welcome. She even stops by the information desk to extend an invitation to SIS.]

[Grasp? Grasp!]

With you 'til the end of the line.

...About PAL. Or should I save that for talking to everyone? It wasn't really...a whole lot more than what we've gotten out of him before, just...it's not good.

[kingshaming]

How not good is not good?

[motherfucking_ghost]

Memory of his creator got erased or otherwise removed, and fighting hurts him. Bad. Which is why we only get short bursts.

[kingshaming]

It hurts him? Gods...and he speaks in many ways like a child...

We need to decide if it's time to be open with everything we've learned.

[He doesn't want to risk SIS being outed, but the others are working in the dark too. There's no good option]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Meeting. Monday. Sundays are...never good. [and it's a holiday] Let them recover, get everyone together. [Including SIS.] Our friend's been trying to find where the bodies are being kept anyway, I wanna know if something's come up yet.

[kingshaming]

Alright. It's a plan at least.

...also, did PAL say anything about your condition in his message? I know the other PAL said he didn't know but...

[motherfucking_ghost]

Uh...I mean, that's when he was saying he didn't know about Kip? Hold on, it was phrased like a computer. Error: Missing data. Error: Kip not found.

......I'm a fucking moron, of course it's his fucking PAK.

This, uh, this thing Kip wore. Like, when he wasn't looking like a human, he's really this little green alien who wears this...metal...PAK thing on his back, helps him do shit, spider legs, creepy shit. I think it might be a part of him? I'm not sure. But I got that thing out of the duty-free and...maybe spending time around it is somehow making Kip's personality rub off on me? It's only started I think since I got it, and, y'know, it's Kip's, so I've kept it. And I've kept it in my room.

...He was very much about sex.
