Heeey scumbags!

[ As usual, the scratchy voice coming out of the comms is just too loud for comfort, and will probably prompt anyone listening to turn their volume down. As usual, he sounds a little too cheerful for their dire circumstances. ]

Anyone else getting shot at? Kidnapped? C'mon, I'm about to die from boredom here.

If this was really some kinda simulated Battle Royale you'd think the death matches would have started by now, right? 

But noooooo, it's just some fuckers sneakin' around and dronebombing the place.

Terrible vacation, really. Good fuckin' thing I didn't pay for it or I'd want my money back, yeah?

[ ... ]

Hey.

If you're still listening, congratulations, you might not be a fun-hating twat, so you get to hear my actual message.

Found another airplane, or part of airplane, in the mountain range. This really huge-ass fuselage, got "PacAir" printed on the side.

There might be some luggage in the compartments or salvageable electronics behind the boards, but the whole thing hanging in this really fucked up way and nothing on the inside looks sturdy enough to climb. Maybe if anyone's got some rope, someone could descend from above and check it out that way. Maybe enough people would be able to flip it, but I dunno if it's worth that kinda effort.

And there's also -- check this out -- a volcano. Doesn't look like it's been active for a while, there's a mineral water lake in the middle now, but it's weirdly warm. Don't know shit about that so I can't tell you if it could be heated from the sun or if it's coming from below, but hey, that's something to consider. 'Nd animals have been making their way here, so it's not poisonous. Probably. Smells kinda like sulfur though.

Volcanoes are usually in the middle of islands, right? Might not be the case here, but I'd say it's... in the southern part of the mountains? Can't be sure without a map, but there's more further north.

Guess that's it for now. Ya eggheads might be able to make something from this, right?

Oh but I wasn't fucking kiddin' about this place being boring, so if you've got any fun stories ya wanna share, I'm all ears. Only so much jungle noises one can take instead of a normal conversation, yeah? I'm a people person, you know. Honest.

Anyway! Headed toward some sus shit next, wish me luck.

[There's so very much to unpack there. From the man's apparent sexuality crisis, to his lying about being a cop. Martin has sense enough to let 'Ben' walk away. He's not going after that. But he definitely doesn't want Kokichi or Jet leaving with the other man whenever he leaves. Because Martin's interest in remaining in a group with Lalo has just dropped precipitously.]

[ Lalo, frankly, is grateful for that. He's glad not to be followed. He stays outside for nearly forty minutes - some nice peace and quiet for Martin - head swirling, not sure what he's just done to himself.

When he finally does come back in, it's getting dark. He takes a deep breath and forces himself to look over at Martin. Professional smile that reveals nothing, brief curt nod. His voice is soft, flat, unemotional. ]


I'll leave in the morning.

[ Then look away. This way, it looks like he's deciding to leave for Martin's comfort, not running off with his tail between his legs.

With that, he goes to the vacant third cell and flops down on the mattress he cut open. He stares at the wall until he falls asleep for the rest of the night, something he hasn't done in years. ]
