Are you sure? Because - Junpei told me about the conversation you had with him recently. If there's a daddy, there's a mommy, right...? I don't think he realized I'd connect the dots.
[She nods when Zero mentions that title, though, even if she shakes her head at the next question she asks.]
If by the rest of them, you mean things you've sent out on other weeks... No, I don't think so. This is the first time I've gotten something like this.
[ many things, starting with someone saying thank you to Zero. she sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose. ]
Right. Well, first of all, I have no idea what's on those things, so I have no idea why you're getting all grateful at me. Second, I didn't do anything except make a lucky guess - definitely don't thank me for that. And third, why the hell are you talking like one of us is dying soon?
[ is she overreacting? possibly, but her nerves are a bit... fried. it seems like every time she turns a corner, a new surprise is popping up and she Strongly Dislikes that. ]
I didn't mean in time as in, like, one of us is running out of time. I said I found you in time because I found out about you yesterday and got this today, so it was good timing.
[ ........ fucking this again. Zero rolls her eye at the wishy washy answer. is she surprised it's happening? upon brief reflection, no. no, not at all. ]
Sure. Fine. Whatever. Did you want something else?
[ it's a question, but the answer better be no. ]

week four, wednesday.
Do you have a second? It's Beck.
no subject
Yes?
no subject
It's probably easier to just jump into it... This is from you, right?
no subject
Do I seem like a gift giving kind of person? Besides, those things are everywhere on the ship.
[ that is a goddamn lie ]
no subject

no subject
Are you accusing me of something?
[ her tone is neutral, not a trace of hostility ]
no subject
[All the same, though:]
Yes. You have a role, right?
no subject
[ despite the flippant response, she turns and heads back into the main living area of the room. her voice floats out behind her, inviting Beck in. ]
And yes, so you might as well come in.
[ well. kind of. ]
no subject
[She sounds apologetic as she heads in, running a hand through her hair.]
I'm glad we found you. We've been looking for a while.
no subject
I take it you have a role as well, right? So who's the 'we' that's been looking for me?
[ if the answer is 'the demons' she going to be very mad ]
no subject
[She nods to Zero's question, though.]
You got me.
no subject
[ and Junpei, obviously ]
Are you the "Sugar Daddy"? Can't imagine who else those things would go to.
[ she frowns as she says it though. where...? ]
You get the rest of them too?
no subject
[She nods when Zero mentions that title, though, even if she shakes her head at the next question she asks.]
If by the rest of them, you mean things you've sent out on other weeks... No, I don't think so. This is the first time I've gotten something like this.
no subject
Zero's frown only deepens at Beck's reply. maybe she's misunderstanding...? ]
I haven't been lucky any of the other weeks. This is the first time I heard it was possible. No, I meant - there were 9 of those things.
[ she means the CDs ]
no subject
Oh, no. I only got one of them... Maybe the others went to other people.
no subject
[ she foresees a headache on the horizon ]
So, have you watched it already?
no subject
[She nods, though.]
Yeah, I did. It was... really nice to see. I'm glad I found you in time to thank you for it.
no subject
[ ????????? ]
no subject
...What's wrong?
no subject
Right. Well, first of all, I have no idea what's on those things, so I have no idea why you're getting all grateful at me. Second, I didn't do anything except make a lucky guess - definitely don't thank me for that. And third, why the hell are you talking like one of us is dying soon?
[ is she overreacting? possibly, but her nerves are a bit... fried. it seems like every time she turns a corner, a new surprise is popping up and she Strongly Dislikes that. ]
no subject
I, um... I'm sorry? I didn't mean to upset you, it's just nice to have.
no subject
[ a beat of silence ]
And answer the question.
no subject
[As for the question, though—]
I didn't mean in time as in, like, one of us is running out of time. I said I found you in time because I found out about you yesterday and got this today, so it was good timing.
no subject
[ ugh. she doesn't entirely get what the hell is happening, but she can't stay irritated at that.
... still, she'd been hoping there would have been information or something useful on them. ]
Fuck, fine, whatever. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
[ whatever it was. and as an afterthought- ]
If you turn up dead on Friday, I'll be very annoyed.
no subject
[She waves a hand, though.]
I hope I didn't upset you or anything.
no subject
[ that's... reassuring? ]
... I don't suppose you ever got things to make a "tape recorder" work, did you?
[ her pronunciation of tape recorder is a bit stilted ]
no subject
No, just this CD. Why?
no subject
[ grumbling ]
You pick something out of a line-up and get something random, right?
no subject
Yeah, that's right. Same with you?
no subject
[ she can say that, right? ]
... So how many picks have you failed?
[ and now she's just asking to stir shit up ]
no subject
[That, or she doesn’t want to. Who knows!]
no subject
[ she sounds absurdly pleased by that ]
Anyways, as far as I can tell, our roles don't seem dependent on each other, so...
[ Zero has no intention of asking about the result of Beck's roulette choices, unless there's a good reason why ]
no subject
[She gives a small shrug to the next part, though.]
Maybe not dependent on each other, but - I think it was important for us to find each other anyways.
no subject
[ she just raises and eyebrow and cocks her head at that next bit though. ]
Why?
no subject
[But that's the last she'll say about it. She continues on with a small shrug.]
I get the feeling you'll see soon.
no subject
Sure. Fine. Whatever. Did you want something else?
[ it's a question, but the answer better be no. ]
