No party like an pope party??

[That... that was a thing for everyone. There should be no celebration for Lif but, well, even if Rhea has a very cynical view of such things it's probably for the best that everyone stays together. Her first stop is the cafeteria, after all nothing better to keep people in one spot than free food. There she bumps into Mira, leaving the snacks to her Rhea ends up writing notes to everyone to come to the cafeteria in a few hours.

Some she hands personally and if she can't find someone she slid it under their door. Rin's she slides into her room regardless.

Fortunately, you won't hear a sermon.]

I haven't checked either. Figured someone softer would beat me there.

[ Someone more invested in either Lif or Aela. After some of the reactions today, there's got to be at least one, and they'll probably get all touchy if they come to grieve, or whatever, and she's handling the deceased's things. ]

But there's only one way to find out.

You didn't check either? Well. No time like the present.

[Glancing at where the body was briefly, Nova heads out of the library. Let's go loot some rooms, I guess????]

[hardnosed]

[ Off they go! She's definitely not following a human anywhere, they just happen to have the same destination, it's fine. Also Jasper's legs are so goddamn long she's immediately caught up anyway, so. ]

You're the scientist. What's your best guess?

[reallyhatesharks]

Best guess about this situation or what their rooms will look like?

[She has more thoughts about one than the other, but she doesn't really want to blab at length about the situation if that's not the question.]

[hardnosed]

[ Of course she meant the last option, but now that the question's been posed it's probably more interesting to hear what Nova thinks on the former. This is not a big facility, after all. They're going to see the truth of the matter in a minute tops. ]

It's your call.

I've heard of experiments like this before. Some people think that being ethical won't teach us anything about the "true" nature of humanity. If the Professor is one of those people, which signs point to, then we won't manage to get out of here until he gets bored or the experiment is over.

[Well. Or one of them kills everyone? Also highly possible, but she's preferring to think in positives.]

Which means I think our efforts are best served looking for ways to bring the dead back to life, rather than trying to prevent it from happening in the first place.

[hardnosed]

What?

[ She was going to go on some dumb tear about how the nature of humanity couldn't be less relevant when it comes to her and Rose, or at least ask about the other experiments, but the audacity of what Nova follows it up with takes her by true surprise. ]

You're organic. When your physical forms die, you die.
