( she's surprised when he makes to sit with her, but far from displeased. it'd seemed at first that he'd merely entertained her distracted murmur while he'd passed by, all too content to stir on to the shadows of the room or perhaps find himself elsewhere entirely. the conversation doesn't feel mindless, beyond just a means of distracting themselves from the reality they'd been pulled into.

she watches him as he speaks, the careful cadence of it all, turning the soft underbelly of the unknown up to glare back at them. )

I don't know that they would've been able to. Toying around with life and death like that. ( there's no way for her to know the state the others had been in when they'd awoken here, just the same as her. pulling from different timelines didn't necessarily mean the ability to go back into their own. )

I just keep thinking of what they'd said. Or what I can remember. They'd called me 'suitable.' ( her eyes seem to glaze over, as if trying to sift through a fog-ridden memory. ) If they're... repopulating, ( the word feels almost vile on her tongue, features twisting around it as if some rotten thing in her mouth. ) I can't imagine they'd do anything unintentionally.

( hues cast around the room again, settling momentarily on each individual before going to the next. ) Everyone's serving some sort of purpose.

( Her distaste feels strange until Geto takes a moment to think about it. He obviously doesn't know her, she could have skills that are needed, could be like him and hiding a veritable powerhouse out of sight. But if she isn't then it opens up other questions and other possibilities. Ones even a man such as he finds displeasing. )

Mm.

( He goes to smooth out a sleeve, realises belatedly that he is not wearing his robes, pulls at the edges of his borrowed clothes instead. )

I think the best port of call would be finding out exactly how the implants can affect us. Would they be able to force our hands if there was something we didn't want to do? We have to believe their might be something, hopefully someone else has gone some lengths to figuring that out.

( finally, her gaze resolves back on the broad man that's sat beside her, wondering as she had when hues landed upon any other body in that room why it was they'd chosen him, too. how coolly he carries himself, how unfazed he seems — it could mean anything, but she likes to think she knows experience when she sees it.

experience with what, well, that remained the question for all of them, didn't it? )

Do you think there's a way to do that? Test them. ( she imagines LILITH has something in store to do just that, but— ) Before they have a chance to show us whether they can or not.

I don't know.

( He doesn't exactly want to go fucking around with something he's not sure of, especially when it's been made a part of him. It still sits sourly in his stomach, the fact that he hadn't had a choice, an anger that fizzles away in his brain no matter how hard he tries to focus on anything else. )

We could try ignoring our orders, but I don't know if that would matter. I refused to answer something earlier and it plucked the thought from my head instead. If it can do that it can presumably do other things. It might be better to see if anyone else has attempted to try before us either way. We're new. We'll be more closely watched.
