You know, I'm sure between the two of us we could convince someone if we truly need to see these pods in action. Some would need just a 'please' and 'thank you' to get them to cooperate.

[Which hey, he finds pretty endearing, actually. Nice people are nice to be around of]

[countermeasures]

I suppose that's possible...

[...she'd almost feel bad for getting someone to try it if something went wrong though. especially if it really was as simple as a "please" and a "thank you"]

[thejkdefense]

In contrast, there are a few others who would jump in there if at any point you said something along the lines of 'I'm sure you wouldn't be able to lie in there for a while'

[Which, hey, he finds that fun. This sort of people also makes life interesting]

[countermeasures]

[she thinks about it and nods




yeah there are definitely people like that.]

Who in our group do you think is likely to use it first?

[thejkdefense]

I'm surprised Garou isn't there right now. I thought by now he'd have managed to get himself injured one way or another.

[Truthfully November will be surprised if the week ends and Garou never had to enter in a pod.

...

Then again, he also has a bit of a hard time imagining Garou inside one of these pods willingly]

[countermeasures]

I don't think he'd sit still long enough to get in.

[thejkdefense]

I heard during the clean-up day he managed to get himself entangled in a ball of goop. Perhaps that's the only way he'd stay still for long enough.

[He heard it wasn't Garou moving, it was the slime itself, with him trapped and unable to do much. He almost wishes he could have seen that]

[countermeasures]

Too bad we don't have more of that goop.

[thejkdefense]

For now!

[Hah, but still...since he's here, there's something November would like to ask]

Su, I would like your opinion about the people we're with. What do you think of them?

[General impressions, pretty much! He supposes that someone with medical skills would be someone others would trust easily, so he's pretty sure she would have a clearer idea how people are like here. It's not that November doesn't trust everyone else -- he does trust them all more than he does the Prism or the residents -- but he's all for staying alert and somewhat paranoid]

[countermeasures]

Do you mean the others like us, or the people who were here before we were?

[thejkdefense]

Both, if you don't mind. I'm sure you understand having more information is very appealing to me.

[He says, trying to hide that he had thought about the former instead of the latter, but hey, he's not going to say no to more information, yup]

[countermeasures]

Hmm... it's a little too soon to say that I know anyone here well... I don't really like to make judgments before I've got more information to work with.

[she hums]

But for the most part, no one here seems actively malicious. At least, not to the same extent as I've dealt with in the past.

[thejkdefense]

[What she says is quite interesting! November's usually dismissive behavior drops a little, replaced with interest and just a little bit of concern there]

You...have dealt with actively malicious people before?

[countermeasures]

Yes.

[a beat.]

They're no match for me, though. You don't need to be worried.

[thejkdefense]

I suppose I have no option but to believe you. I do wonder what sort of malicious people would try to pick on you, for any reason.

[Mostly because that malicious people come to mess with you says a lot about you as well. Truly malicious people don't come to hassle random people for no reason...most of the time. It gets him interested in Jiuqing more than before, admittedly -- he likes her well enough but wasn't into trying to find out all that much about her. That's changing now, though]

[countermeasures]

[she smiles]

If you're curious, there's a hint on my profile.

[thejkdefense]

[November doesn't move to check the profiles, instead recalling it. Oh. Ohoooo]

Is it related to the army?

[The clue better not be the brothels one, haha]

[countermeasures]

It wouldn't be much of a hint if I just told you, would it?

[teehee]

1/2

[thejkdefense]

[He definitely pouts at that. Oh, dang, he wanted answers]

2/2

[thejkdefense]

[But still, the coyness actually amuses him -- he lightens up immediately and shakes his head]

Fair point. I suppose I'll have to make my own assumptions and guesses.

[countermeasures]

I wish you the best of luck with your observations.
