Maybe nobody should say it. [To Junpei, though:] There are scratches on the autopsy table... It looks like a person made them.
[So, that’s horrifying, and that might be why she’s carefully putting the scalpel in her pocket and picking up the bone saw instead. She trusts nothing in this room!!
She’s heading Higekiri’s way as she hears the refrigerator sliding open, frowning once she sees the humanoid shape underneath. She doesn’t like doing this, but she takes a step closer and carefully lifts the sheet up to see the face underneath, unless Higekiri stops her.]
Thirty-three fridges, thirty-three people before us, and thirty-three of us. I'm starting to see a pattern...what do the papers say? This isn't the first time we've seen scratch marks around the ship either. [He'll address both of them because...bad...Beck walks away and Junpei's looking at these jars, eyebrows raising at the blue one.] ...think I found another item we need. Or, at least, this is something important.
[And so the blue jar gets tucked into his pocket safely, but the gun comes out to hold onto. He'll just pick up a few of these green jars to read the labels. What do we have here?]
[Body... He reaches for the clipboard to flip through the documents to check them over, too.]
Higexian, does yours say anything on it? Mine has an "N", but I can't read the rest.
[He'll also move to pull aside the plastic to check on the face of this body after he's done looking over the papers! There is like zero hesitation, god.]
Pardon the wake-up!
[He's not as gentlemanly as Higekiri, but he's relatively polite, at least...]
[Funny that you should mention seeing their faces.
Because neither of the corpses have one.
When Beck and WWX lift the sheets up, they will see that the bodies do not have a face. The corpse in the refrigerator Beck and Higekiri are checking out has shoulder-length brown hair. The corpse in the refrigerator WWX is checking has long black hair that continues under the plastic sheet. The clipboard Higekiri is reading contains the following information:]
A███████████████████████ F 28 NOTES: This is the body that was used as a catalyst to welcome the creatures into this realm... However, the subject does not present any abilities related to the concept of space and time. She is not a god, a time traveler, or a dimensional shifter. Perhaps she carries it in her blood as an untapped ability? It's a shame the subject is in no state to answer my questions.
[The documents WWX reads say:]
N███████████████████ F 18 NOTES: A shape-shifter... It's a shame her body collapsed when it did. She was pleasant company. I was disappointed that her immortality was conditional.
[The green jars all have the same thing on the label. It says:]
TO USE IN EMERGENCIES ONLY Detains the effects of accelerated apoptosis and necrosis.
It was "A".... I believe that this is this person's name.
[he doesn't seem that put off though? he peers over to see the corpse lacking a face, frowning, and then he's going to go ahead and just read off what's on his clipboard. no problem as far as he's concerned! everything here is creepy and he's not bothering to be surprised anymore!
once he's done reciting - ]
I wonder how she died.
[he'll assist with the sheet though, moving to see if there's anything else they can determine about the body. to A:]
[Beck, compared to Higekiri, looks a lot more disturbed - what’s more, it reminds her of something she’s seen before. That’s why she looks towards Junpei, beckoning him over as her grip on the bone saw tightens.]
Come take a look at this. It’s like... the first weekend.
[...HE DOESN'T WANT TO? HE REALLY. REALLY DOES NOT WANT TO COME CLOSER...but he does, keeping the blue jar safe in his pocket, the green jar in his hand and his gun in the other hand as he approaches.]
...you're right. Like what we saw on the camera, and what showed up on Prompto's camera, too. So what exactly does that mean? [...] April and Neena, if I had to guess. Two of the old hosts, but...that would mean that April was involved in something similar to what Polly pulled. Being used to summon whatever the fuck these things are. [He frowns lightly at the mention of abilities related to the concept of space and time.] Were...they looking for SHIFTers?
[He looks at the jar.] ..."to use in emergencies only. Detains the effects of accelerated apoptosis and necrosis." Detain means to keep under lockdown, and apoptosis and necrosis are types of cell decay. [...another look???] Wonder if those creatures really did infect the ship with a virus of some kind that took over and made the last group more susceptible to things.
You think so...? Maybe we should be covering our mouths, if that's the case. [He doesn't know shit about plagues but he knows about CORPSE POWDER POISONING.]
Ah-- This is what the one here says, too.
[He'll read out the contents of N's clipboard too, and tucks it back behind the faceless body. He also doesn't seem put off by any of this because of course, and starts to peer around at the front of the plastic sheet just to see if he can note anything particularly off about it from the outside before he goes doing anything wild like dragging a body out of the fridge.]
If two of the hosts are here, the other two probably are as well, hm?
[The bodies are naked, so. Nothing to loot. The flesh has turned ashen and cold from the amount of time spent inside the refrigerators. As Higekiri looks at the body, he won't see any sort of injury on A. WWX, however, won't be able to tell if anything is off without fully lifting the plastic, as the sheet is an opaque white.]
April wanted to do the fucking coitus with demons?
[he's just
comparing april to polly.
but higekiri just hums softly at that before turning to both beck and junpei once it seems like they aren't able to find anything.]
Should I check for anything else? She seems to lack obvious injury so perhaps she died from something else.
[he'll volunteer to be the one to handle the body since he a ) has gloves and b ) is less concerned about corpses and whatnot compared to the other two probably]
Or if the other two hosts are present, maybe we can locate their bodies as Wukiri suggested. There are thirty-three containers after all.
[Opens his mouth to correct "the fucking coitus" Closes his mouth and just. Hums.]
It's worth checking for the others, sure. [...] Nathan had immortality as one of his original skills didn't he? And Carlos is a SHIFTer, so that's...that's not coincidence, right? Or maybe it is but that's pretty weird. [He'll let Higekiri handle that body.] I'd say check her mouth for poisoning or something but...the whole "no face" thing makes that hard.
[...he's not exactly excited either, but sure, he'll go to try and open one of the other refrigerators.]
Well, if you can find the other two, we'll have a better idea of how closely they match up. Nathan had immortality, but I don't know that it's conditional and I don't think any of our hosts are shape-shifters, are they...?
[Off the sheet goes! Anything amiss over here...]
Ah— If anyone needs me to examine a body for them, let me know!
[Beck can try to open the refrigerator with illegible writing, but it just won't budge. Assuming Junpei tries one of the refrigerators by A's, it also won't open. That one, too, will have illegible writing.
Like A's corpse, N's appears to be devoid of any injuries. Her flesh has turned ashen and cold from the time spent in the refrigerator. Now that the sheet is off, though, WWX will see that her hair reaches past her waist.]
[higekiri will just tilt his head and try to peer over at the faceless head. it's just completely smooth? there's no features to be found there? but for the time being he will put the papers and clipboard for A off to the side and then just
cover up the corpse once more when he's done looking at it, and then try to put the body away and close the fridge again!!]
Thank you for your patience. Rest well.
[he'll try to check out the other fridges and see if he can find more legible writing once he's done there??]
[Since Higekiri is looking for more marked refrigerators, she's heading back towards the autopsy tables. If she opens one of the stainless steel cabinets that are in that area, what will she find?]
Couldn't Polly be considered a shape-shifter because she's a ghost? [But if Beck goes back to the tables, he'll just help Higekiri open the fridges, but starting more on the opposite end. This is still a weird room and he refuses to be ambushed, thanks.]
...so, and this is just a morbid idea, but what if the room's rigged to where we have to lay on the actual tables? We couldn't do anything in the arcade until we logged in our names to play the games.
Do you think so? Seems dangerous, which means you might be on the right track.
[He'll just. Move some of her hair to make sure there are no visible injuries on her body where it falls, and gently turn her over to check her back, too. Just in case there's some written confession hiding under there. He's using his sleeves to cover his hands because he learned his lesson about touching things directly from strychnine party 2k19, at least.]
[It's not completely smooth, no. The bone structure is as it should be, but... The eyes, the mouth and the nostrils are just not there. The same goes for N's face. Now that WWX is looking at N's back, though, he will see that there are no injuries there either.
Beck can easily open one of the cabinets. Inside, she will find supplies for washing and drying bodies, as well as individually packaged syringes. Hm...
Higekiri and Junpei will see that most of the refrigerators have illegible names. However, there are two that are still somewhat legible. H████ and J████.]
[ . . . well, this sounds fine. fate and irony demand that higekiri stand in front of H, all things considered. he blinks once, twice, and then knocks on the fridge.]
... Pardon the intrusion.
[and then he'll move to open it again, speaking softly and commenting almost more to himself]
If you're who I think you are - I've heard we have a lot in common.
[there's nothing wrong at all with speaking to a corpse who also has brother trauma before you rouse it from its sleep right. though to the others he'll speak a bit louder:]
Perhaps after we gather all the documentation, we can try that.
You could, but just be careful. Also, other fun theory, what if the syringes were used to pump our corpses with this green liquid to stop them from dying and rotting? [Huh. So...Higekiri has H, and Junpei has J and he pauses for the time being.]
...you were the detective before me, I'm guessing. [Great. He's also talking to corpses now, but Junpei also talks to furniture sometimes it's just a thing that happens.] Jason, if I recall. [But he's going to open it carefully, still preparing himself to attack a zombie if he has to.]
Well, I mean - cool air alone wouldn't keep a corpse this neatly preserved, yes?
[He'll just gently place the sheet back over "N", in any case, and shut the fridge door. Bye Rapunzel squad member he never knew...
He then moseys so he's about halfway between where Junpei and Higekiri are, and halfway between where Beck is, just in case he needs to move to either side to help A) fend off zombies or B) pull Beck from a trap. To Beck (but it applies to everyone tbh):]
If anything starts to seem off or strange, say so right away.
[Higekiri pulls open H's refrigerator, revealing yet another humanoid shape covered by a white plastic sheet. Another clipboard sits on top with documents attached to it. Junpei will find an identical scene once he opens up J's refrigerator.
There's nothing to be found in the sinks or in the weighing scales.]
[hige knows nothing about corpses because he really does walk away once people are dead - but he'll listen to them all anyway.]
Excuse me, excuse me... Nothing odd here so far.
[aside from the whole situation being odd? but he'll pick up the documents to read again, and also pull back the sheet to see if this figure has a face!]
