it's a little awkward for ema to see someone she was in love with for an hour and died with, but it's enough time after that she can be normal. kind of normal. as normal as she can be after dying.
seeing the glitches makes her thinks of how they could be other ways to die, but it's fine. it's making her think and focus on solving mysteries. ]
No. Not at all. I've been thinking it might be because... we died, and this is over where the others are.
[ the living. ]
There might be some disconnect. I don't know why, though.
wriothesley's heart does a weird little flip flop at the sight of ema nearby (thanks, residual effect of being in love with someone for a whole hour and then suddenly dying) but he's professional enough to keep a straight face. ]
Are those your deductions as a detective? [ he'll defer to her judgement if so. ] I've admittedly never died, so I don't have much experience on the subject.
she makes a small face at being called a detective because being a detective is one of the biggest disappointments of her life, but she is responsible with her job. ]
I don't have much to go off since I've never died before, too, and it's not like I can talk to the dead. It seems like the logical reason to me right now, but it's only a guess at best. I don't know enough about how this place works.
alas, neither of them are right now. also, they probably shouldn't die again. (jk. unless.....?) ]
You're talking to me right now, aren't you? [ haha... ] More seriously though, is there any way to tell we haven't been modified somehow? Even if neither of us have ever died before, I'm pretty sure being dead doesn't usually involve this.
[ with a gesture at himself. the breathing. the moving. the eating. the sometimes sleeping?? ]
[ we continue to drug and curse them into being stupid enough to die.... if you want to double die in the gy.... we can try. (is never against dying)
she makes a face. so many men are made of jokes, but she gets what he means. ]
There's nothing to say it can't involve all the physiology that comes with living, though. It's our preconceptions guiding us. I do think it's odd that we have to breathe and our hearts still beat and that we still get hungry to eat, too, but we'd need tools and instruments to scan us for any changes.
Even if I were to do a pat down, I don't know if I could detect anything different that way.
[ if they still feel the same internally, would they feel any different externally? things to think about. ]
[ better to cope through humor than to cope via alcoholism or violence.
having never participated in any sort of higher education, wriothesley is content to let ema take the lead in her theorizing. ]
Don't suppose we could just ask the hotel staff for them? [ but even he knows this is 99% a lost cause. he hmms to himself. ] If we're still eating and breathing, do you think we might not actually be dead then?
[ that's fine. unfortunately, all she deals with is murders because that's the game premise of ace attorney. ]
There's enough logic to connect, but they don't talk about much else other than vacation. So... either they were lured here like we were and we'll become just like them eventually, or it's something else.
We can try to get the other people to talk about something other than what they think is fun? We look around more to see if the glitches mean something.
[ she also doesn't have much of an answer. it's all theorizing. ]

I don't know how I could have survived that. I'm a normal human being.
[ she will die normally. ]
Unless you want to believe this vacation and everything we've experienced is all a dream or hallucination.
no subject
We don't know for sure it isn't. Like you said, there's no real way to gather the necessary evidence.
no subject
[ or when other people start dying and getting murdered. ]
But that there are more people here when there were only robots over there... I don't know what that means.
no subject
[ EXTREMELY morbid to think about but he is unfortunately going there. ]

I think I'd prefer a third option, thanks.
[ what third option? great question!!! he doesn't have an answer. ]
So, what now?
no subject
[ she also doesn't have much of an answer. it's all theorizing. ]
no subject
[ does my backtags while everyone else is busy with trial ]
Have you noticed any sort of pattern in frequency, time of day, length...?
no subject
But a day isn't enough for a good sample size.
[ stats isn't her strong suit anyway. ]
no subject
[ maybe they'll get lucky and turn into ghosts or something ]
no subject
Yes. Hopefully, we'll have more answers by then. If not....
[ she doesn't have an answer for that either. ]
