Day 46, audio, callsign TN811N

[hyakuoku]

Some kind of weird shit happened, but I'm…not actually sure what. I woke up here like the first time, on some part of the island I don't recognise…on the east, I think. Pretty sure.

I don't remember dying or anything exciting happening.

What the hell is going on?

[ He laughs because he's Senku. ]

Looks like this time the rescue mission is for me, huh? I'm not hurt or anything, but I also don't have any weapons. If anyone's not busy, I need two things:

One, an update on whatever I must have missed.
Two, someone who isn't busy and wants to come play guide dog.

[ He's such a brat, but his request is sincere. ]

Jeeeeez, where've you been? You sure picked a crappy time to disappear! I had to get my hands dirty because of that, y'know!

[Kokichi sounds the same as ever – bratty, exaggerated whining, irreverence, etc. He certainly doesn't sound like anything too terrible happened. He's good at doing that.]

[hyakuoku]

[ Senku is well aware that Kokichi sounding like things are fine means absolutely nothing. ]

No clue, which annoys me ten billion percent. What do you mean you had to get your hands dirty?

[trialbyliar]

Remember that whole plan where you'd dissect people who died to see if anything looks weird? Well, you weren't here, so someone had to do it!

[The indignant "hmph!" sound he makes here feels awfully out-of-place for what he's implying, more like he's complaining about having to clean up someone else's dirty dishes or something.]

[hyakuoku]

Holy shit, you did that? What do you know about dissecting people?

[ He knows whatever answer he's about to get is total bullshit, but he can't help but ask. ]

That's exciting as hell. You find anything out?

[trialbyliar]

I am a supreme leader of evil, y'know. I cut into people aaaaall the time.

[This is a lie.]

But I couldn't really find out much even after deigning to do the gross work myself. The body disappeared after like an hour, and even before that, it was pretty messed up after the boars were done with it. Someone else should go ahead and die in a less gruesome way so we can do a better investigation!

[hyakuoku]

Uh-huh, sure you do.

[ He's not buying that, sorry Kokichi. ]

Sometime I'm sure we'll get another chance. People die too damn much on this island. Anyway, who'd you dissect?

[trialbyliar]

You. You really don't remember dying, huh?

[He lets that sit for a fee moments before snickering.]

But that's a lie. It was just Squalo.

[hyakuoku]

I didn't die.

[ Completely deadpan. He knows that people here who have died remember doing so. He's not gonna let Kokichi gaslight him about it. ]

Whoa, Shark Guy? Damn, how'd he die?

[ He's not entirely surprised; Squalo is reckless and has that streak in him that yells violence to Senku. They had expected to die on the raft, but that didn't happen. ]

...did he come back?

[trialbyliar]

You sound awfully sure about that. You really don't think it's possible to not know? I mean, someone could sneak up on you and do it juuust right so it's instantaneous...

[He sounds so flippant and almost teasing in saying it, but it's something he's thought about more than once. Some of his classmates didn't see it coming. He wonders if they had a chance to feel the pain and actually process what happened or if it was quick enough that they died completely oblivious.]

Anyway, I saw him talking on the walkies before so I assume he's fine. It was super gross before that, though – the boars like, trampled him and partially ate him. His corpse was so messed up I probably couldn't tell for sure if anything was weird about his body even it didn't disappear so fast.

[hyakuoku]

I'm sure it's a possibility, but everyone here who has died has known or at least remembered when they woke up. Besides, I've died before.

[ He doesn't bother explaining that. ]

That's gross as hell. Not a very good way to discover anything much, but good on you for trying.

You didn't tell me if he came back.
