Hopefully they'd be able to tell it...as for if they are in any of the boxes, I wouldn't be so sure. We'll see whether or not at some point, I suppose.
[ Xingqiu happens to have turned towards Chongyun to see what is going on over there. While he does this, he will absentmindedly touch 12A??
...He has not exactly come over to see Chongyun uncover, uh. Ryouma's dead(?) body because man, he would not to come over to Chongyun's side of things.
But boy when he's alerted to it by him freaking out it being inevitably pointed out by his partner, that is going to be a Time. ]
[ ... Devotion to Rex Lapis broken; Raiden Shogun new patron god. ]
T-there's... [ Chongyun stutters for a moment, too shocked to speak properly. He had hoped this wasn't the case, suspected it might be a possibility, but still. It's something else to see it. ] This is... Sakamoto Ryouma.
[ ... Does this mean...? Kawase, Tamamori... No...
He's not going to touch the body yet, but how does it look? It's improbable, but is Ryouma breathing? Is there anything off about the body? IS HE DRESSED? ]
Doesn't do much of anything. They're just there, vibing. Nothing sus with the 12s asides from their general existence.
(10A does seem to have numbers on it, but that's probably not something they'll notice as Chongyun begins to lose his shit.)
Ryouma looks... well. He looks like he's just sleeping, with nothing noticeably off about his complexion, and no visible wounds or anything like that - and he is breathing. If Chongyun checks for a pulse, he'll find one - unless he's too afraid to do that, in which case just ignore that.
He is also dressed, but in very plain clothing made of thin fabric. He at least gets to keep his dignity, though!]
[ wow, here sabo wanted to spend more time touching the panel of 12b for reasons but guess that's not going to happen or is going to be on pause as his attention is going to be on chongyun's discovery and promptly losing his shit. he'll leave most of the damage control to xingqiu since partners and all of that.
so, don't worry if chongyun doesn't notice that ryoma has a pulse, sabo will check for it. which also means that sabo is going to start opening the other boxes to see what and who is inside of them. he's check the one right next to ryomas and...maybe see a very good dog who is also a sword??
he'll also look to see if there's anything on the third tablet to clue them into anything about what they've found? ]
[ Relatively short as Xingqiu hurries on over to Chongyun, because he isn't going to abandon him in his time of need, of course! He will not ... necessarily stop him from looking all the same.
But, if he so happens to slip one of his hands to take a hold of one of Chongyun's carefully as a reassurance, he will go ahead and do so. ]
Let us hope that he is still at least well, in some form.
[ He will cast a quick, assessing look at Chongyun to see how much distress he is in while Sabo does his thing as well. ]
[ OH, NOT A CORPSE. Okay, Chongyun can deal with that - at least better than he can deal with the corpse of someone he knows.
He flashes Xingqiu a tight smile, squeezing his hand, using the grip to steel himself for what comes next - which is to reach in to carefully shift Ryouma's body out of the box. He checks the clothes for any tags and then, muttering an apology to Ryouma, checks his body for any... uh... modifications??
That anxious feeling is welling up again. This isn't a corpse, but is this... a real body? His mind flashes back to the metal skeletons. What if - ?? Could it be possible? ]
Can... can we check boxes 7A and 7B? And do you think we should - take them with us?
There's no tags on the clothes, but they seem like something cheap and mass-produced to do the bare minimum a piece of clothing needs to do.
Also no modifications to Ryouma's body, either! He seems exactly as he was when Chongyun saw him last.
The numbers are still there on the tablet, but the values do seem a bit higher now. They actually seem to change every so often, as if monitoring something.
(Like Ryouma's vitals.)
Though interacting with it will bring up a notice saying that Ryouma is currently in stasis. There doesn't seem any way to prevent that, and this is the same with 7A and 7B, as well as 5B and, again, 10A. So now they know where all the dropouts have gone.]
[ would sabo understand how vitals work on in this fashion? maybe?? miach sort of ""explained"" it to him in the most unhelpful way possible but largely won't make the connection. but, uh, i guess they are now in the middle of a bunch of human sized open boxes with some of them with bodies in it and others that don't.
this is fine? this is completely normal?? sabo will frown at chongyun and then look at the bodies. there are how many compared to them? (this is a rhetorical question.) hmmm. ]
We could try take them with us, but we'll definitely attract attention if we do so we'll have to be creative.
[ he is also worried about what happens if they move the bodies too far from the tablets? is there any sign showing how they are in statis?? ]
We should also see if there's anything else here so we don't miss anything.
[ since you know. bodies sure as hell distracted them. ]
I'm just worried they will be used against us if we leave them here.
[ Like a hostage situation, etc. But it also seems... sad... to leave the missing people in boxes like they're objects. Or as if they're already dead and in their coffins. He doesn't like that.
If... they take Ryouma's body a ways away from the box, will the tablet react? Or will Ryouma react negatively? Chongyun is going to test that out. Huff, limp bodies are so heavy... ]
[ Once Chongyun confirms he's doing okay, he feels more than his share of relief. He does also feel some at the fact that they are NOT dealing with a dead body here. Though he does smile a little and give the hand a gentle squeeze in turn. ]
Hmm...maybe if there are some blankets or cloths here we could at least drape them over the boxes to make them seem like conspicuous? Or we mark the boxes with 'obsolete documents, please dispose'?
[ He is just spitballing ideas here, because yeah. ]
[Well, if they want to drag around six bodies, more power to them though that will definitely be near impossible to do with any amount of subtlety.
Dragging Ryouma away will cause the tablet to beep, but Ryouma... doesn't react at all. He just keeps snoozing away.
It doesn't seem like they can see how or what is keeping them in stasis, but it's entirely possible (by which the mod will just let you know it is) that this is something being controlled elsewhere they don't currently have access to. This is a secret tool that will help them later.
There is a row of shelves beyond the boxes, which is largely empty. There are a few things, and at a glance it seems like there were the belongings for everyone currently in stasis.]
I could see that working but that would leave us the problem of how to handle the boxes. They won't be any lighter than what they are now.
[ it's fine. probably?? they get this abilities back sometime during all of this, don't they? not that any of them here are thinking about it also what is time? but sabo will make note of the beep and raise an eyebrow at that.
huh. that's...interesting.
hmmmm. well, since we're testing things out on ryoma—in the most respectful way possible—sabo's going to take it to the next level and confront the one that's clearly meant for him and.
uh.
knock it over?? perhaps trying to see what happens if he attempts to break it? ]
[ That beeping is a problem, however. If all the tablets start beeping once they take the bodies away, then that will attract more attention than they can handle, and they already don't have enough people to attempt this. ]
There goes that idea... But we will come back for them eventually.
[ It's a promise to himself. Chongyun reluctantly puts Ryouma back into his... box. At least he's alive and... stable?
(But this also means they can't set this place on fire. Good thing his little campfire stayed little!!)
After he puts the body away, he'll check out the active tablets with the numbers and try swiping through them or clicking around or however this stuff works, trying to see if he can figure out who is monitoring these bodies and where from. ]
[It's definitely sturdy, but hitting the box does set off another round of even more frantic beeping, just as Chongyun sees that the monitoring is coming from inside the building... approximately four floors above them. Seems this is being monitored by Dr. Juniper himself.
And Sabo just set off an alarm.
So, you know. Might want to grab what they can and scatter. Ryouma will ???probably??? be fine if they just shove him back inside.]
[ you know. it's been a fine seven weeks where sabo hasn't done anything wrong but also he has broken something in much frequency compared others(?), so might as well keep the trend going and periodically do something that isn't The Right Move.
though this also means when the alarm goes off sabo has a moment to think about what he wants to do next and while there is the loot from the others that is Tempting to a degree, he is going to pick up the tablet that was meant for him. this is his now, thanks. call it evens stevens for handing over his tablet to kyle. ]
I can't say that I'm surprised that happened. Sorry.
[ so the large tablet for 12A is coming with him and is there another exit or something like that where they are or will they have to go back the way they came. ]
But, yeah, we will. We'll come back for the rest of them.
[Gotta go back to where they came from, but that's where Ace and Cater are waiting for them, anyways.
Still, mission (mostly?) success! They did find out they were totally being lied to about people going back home, which is probably not what they wanted to find out, but at least chip team was productive.]
