[oversea]

Has anyone told you that you're rude?

[ this is funny coming from thorns. ]

[transmit]

Probably only a tenth as much as people have told you.

[ heheh. ]

[oversea]

Then let me tell you it again now.

[ he doesn't sound serious, at least. ]

You just left.

[transmit]

Ooh. So that's where you're at.

[ … ]

That's what I was planning, yeah. Byes are pretty lame, aren't they? Especially for a cool guy like me.

[oversea]

[ a cool guy...

well, the two of them don't usually discuss certain things with each other. he feels close to realizing something. ]

Would you like being a pirate?

[transmit]

[ Gasp… a thought. ]

I don't know about piracy specifically, but it would be nice to see Iberia through your lens, front row. [ a laugh. ] You'll have to give me detailed recounts or I'll feel left out.

[oversea]

... You can come see me. When we get out of this.

[ because they definitely will do that. ]

[transmit]

Yeah? What about the plumbing and bed situation? What am I going to do about my skin and hair? This time around was an exception, you know.

[oversea]

... I guess you would give up after a week out there.

[ elysium has definitely survived in harsh situations before, but thorns will stop pressing it. ]

[transmit]

[ …

Knocks his fist against Thorns' head. ]

Someone has to look after the captain looking after everyone else.

[ ignores juana ]

[oversea]

[ he really is just firing juana ]

... And who is looking after that someone?

[transmit]

[ juana did not take good care of his uni ]

Me! It's a different story if I'm getting compensated.

[oversea]

What's your salary?

[transmit]

For the low, low price of remembering your skincare and taking your vitamins, you get to see this once-in-a-lifetime hottie twice a year.

[oversea]

[ ...




he looks back towards the sea. ]

Does this count as one of the times?

[transmit]

[ The simulation them seem to be closer somehow.

But——he finally tears his gaze away long enough to finally glance over to Thorns. ]

Hm? You want to see me more often than that?

[oversea]

[ i now understand why elysium has been so scared of lust week. ]

I'd always want to see you.

[ other words elysium does not hear often due to him being annoying. ]

[transmit]

[ STOP!!!! ]

… Yeah. [ There's that stupid pang again. ] It's going to be different not seeing you around on base.

[oversea]

[ he's really going around banging people... good for him ]

I'm sure people will be glad about that. The fire alarm will be going off less often.

[transmit]

[ i had to lash out against allegations ]

We'll be down one less genius.

[ … ]

I don't think you would've asked me that, for the record. These simulations… they can't get anything right.

[oversea]

[ he knows elysium is saying it to be reassuring, but it doesn't feel quite right. ]

It would be selfish to ask that of you.

[transmit]

That's what I would've thought. But maybe the us in this simulation doesn't have to worry about stuff like that. How lucky.

[oversea]

Perhaps.

[ the other thorns leans in to say something to elysium. ]

They look happy.

[transmit]

[ He bumps their shoulders. ]

I'm no less happy for you.

[ pvps simulation ely ]

[oversea]

[ leave other ely alone... ]

And for yourself?
