Afterparty? Catherding?? .........Afterherding?????

[As soon as they're let out of the trial area, Mike makes a beeline for lounge and kitchen. Why, becomes apparent, because soon after, the room furniture in the lounge is arranged in a circle, with a seat for the all the remaining guests.

There's also a pot of coffee and soda cuz it's been a long fucking day. Maybe there are cheezits too, I don't know, a seventeen year old boy put this together. There are pizza rolls probably.

IN ANY CASE, hope you had enough time to flop and mope because Mike's knocking on every door and telling folks to meet in the lounge--if they aren't in their rooms, he'll slip a note under their doors. Once gathered, he skips straight to the point.]

I know it's been...a rough couple days for all of us, but we can't rest just yet. Especially not after that.

Before anything else can happen, we need a plan. How do we get to our friends, and how do we get them back?

And has anyone gotten any more weird notes lately?

Hopefully, when we get out of here, we can make him a new body like his old one. It's not really that complicated of a machine, right? We have something like WALL-E in Germany, but they don't move.

[Because why tf would a trash compactor need to move. Like, she sort of gets how that might be useful but also like. Why.]

So it's really just . . . his brain parts that are special, right?

[He nods.]

Theoretically everythin' that makes him special oughta be stored all in his memory banks. I've never dealt with a fully-sentient machine before but I can't imagine any other way it'd work.

I don't know, I just thought he might have had a super battery or something - since he was the only one left and all. [It made sense in her head.] But you're the, um. Engineer-y person, so.
