[endorsi gets a text:]

sure did! planetarium work for you?

[fisherwoman]

It does! Give me five minutes ♥

[probe]

[whenever endorsi shows up, wrath will be in the planetarium.

they're just standing in the middle of the room, staring up at the stars. the only thing that really shows up in the darkness here are their fiery feets.

they glance over, though.]

Hey, boo. What's up?

[fisherwoman]

[She strides over, and while she makes a bit of a face at the pet name, she's direct.]

I had a few questions about this place, and what we can do here! [But also, gesturing at their feet:]

Are they always like this?

[probe]

For sure, I'm down to answer as much as I feel like.

[wrath.]

And yes, they are. Trust me, it's irritating for me too.

[fisherwoman]

Did you have to get special flame resistant clothing?

[this is not what she came here to talk about but now she's curious]

...How close are we to our homes?

[probe]

Nah, they don't burn anything. They just look hot.

[as for the question...]

Not very. We're a long way away.

[fisherwoman]

[She nods, but as a follow up question:]

Long enough away that nobody back home would be able to tell what we're doing here by any method?

[probe]

Oh, for sure. Nobody will hear about your cheese crimes.

[fisherwoman]

—That was not my fault!

[probe]

No? I don't believe you.

[fisherwoman]

I was viciously attacked...

[The most overdramatic sigh.]

[probe]

By the same guy who did the steaks?

[fisherwoman]

[She shakes her head.]

Yuel. The steaks were someone else.

[...Speaking of which, unfortunately:]

Oh, another question! When the guide you prepared for us mentioned other people having the opportunity to get justice for anyone who dies, what does that mean?

[probe]

It means we're expecting you guys to kill each other eventually, probably. Not like, expecting in an authority way, just - you know, you're all a bunch of maniacs that keep exploding washing machines.

[they fold their arms.] If you don't, that's also chill.

[fisherwoman]

Oh, I know that!

[please don't say that]

But what kind of justice will it be? Will you just reveal who killed them to the rest of the group, and let them do what they will?

[probe]

Oh. [they - laugh? don't laugh.]

Fuck, uh - no, it'll be more like... well, you'll see if it happens.

[fisherwoman]

Ah, I hate to wait... You really can't even give me a hint?

[probe]

I know patience is not a virtue of yours, but you're just going to have to see! I can't go giving you all the answers on the first day.

[fisherwoman]

[She sighs.]

Fine, fine. I'll wait for someone else to go first. When it comes to the other people here, though... They're competition, right? So it's good for me if there are less of them?

[probe]

They're not not competition, but like, listen. On the one hand, ehh, but on the other, if you kill everybody, you don't have anybody to indulge with.

It's a careful ecosystem, Endorsi.

[fisherwoman]

[She laughs.]

I wasn't planning to kill everyone. But I'll keep that in mind.

[probe]

Hah! I wouldn't put it past you. But I like that in a girl.

[fisherwoman]

Ha! You have good taste. Did you really pick your group based on who was most attractive?

[probe]

Haha, for some of you! [they blow a kiss in her direction.] You, Yuri and Rose are hot stuff. White is cute, but I'm not quite morosexual enough for him. I'm also not a robotfucker, though I uh, I don't begrudge anybody who is.
