[1797]

[Guess who has been trapped alone in a building with four sticks of raw sugarcane and a map he wants to copy. All he has available is a tiny ass screen, so we must suffer the limited ASCII together. Fake screen boundary included bc otherwise it's even less decipherable.]

Is this a map?
What does jail "again" mean?
Did you die? Did someone else die? Context matters here.

[ok, the use of text this time is his fault. but it really seems a waste to text with a walkie-talkie.]

Oh, my bad. I didn't mean to...post? [is that even the correct terminology? it feels wrong somehow, but oh well.]

It is based off a map, yeah.

[hyakuoku]

[ Senku can follow suit easy enough. ]

Post is probably close enough.
Guess that's one way to pass the time, making ASCII maps on the devices. You find anything before or during the storm worth noting?

[1797]

[taking stock of his inventory... it is really fucking sad]

A computer, but I can't get it to turn on. Though I'd guess whoever was here before tried as well.

[turns to stare at ''''''RE419S'''''' and ''''''ben'''''']

[hyakuoku]

A computer, really? Exciting.

[ He might sound a little mad scientist about this, it's fine. ]

I've been looking for something like that, actually. Do you have any idea what part of the island you're on? I don't know about getting the power on yet but there's gotta be a source somewhere.

[1797]

[ok, but someone who can actually do something with this computer? pls.]

Based on the map, to the north? [the weather hasn't exactly given him a chance to check it out himself.] There is a power source in this building, though. I just don't know if the computer isn't working because it's too weak or some other reason.

[hyakuoku]

[ He really wants that computer. ]

North of the jail or near the plane?

[ He's not sure where Ron actually is on the map currently. ]

What does your power source there look like? So far we haven't found an accessible working one. I think the building at the airfield with solar panels has working electricity but I can't get into it yet. I will eventually.

[ He's absolutely sure of this, because he's determined to do it. That's all that matters, obviously. ]

If the one where you are has juice, we just have to figure out how to turn it on.

[ Despite himself, Lalo is happy to see a familiar callsign. ] Is that-- Senku! How ya doin', man? Holdin' up okay with the storm?

It's a map! The detective drew it...! What do you think? It's good, eh?

[hyakuoku]

Ben! You're not dead! Good.

[ He's teasing but he does sound genuinely glad. He doesn't want people to die, after all. ]

I'd have to see the drawn one, I think, but knowing him it's as comprehensive as he can make it. We have a map here too. Randvi is working on it.

[salamanca]

Ahhhh, I could say the same to you! [ 😋! He sounds delighted, though. ] You got somebody to go get Miss Shaw, right?

Yeah? If we ever get there, we'll add to it! The dead guy, that's where the cabin is.

[hyakuoku]

[ Senku just laughs, of course. ]

Having this base set up helps up the odds.

Shaw doesn't seem to want help, but someone will go if it's necessary.

Dead guy…you found an actual dead guy?

[ That sounds weird to him, since last he heard, the respawn was still a thing. Is it not anymore? That does change some strategy if so. ]

[salamanca]

[ Lalo likes Senku's laugh. It's a pleasant sound. He laughs, too. ]

Nah, nah, nah! Not a dead body... The guy! In the picture! With the no-eyes! You get it? That's where the cabin is.

[ He sounds very happy and excited to be explaining.

Lalo makes note of the fact that apparently someone will get Shaw "if it's necessary". Personally, as far as Lalo is concerned, if she doesn't want help, who gives a shit; but Ben would have a different way of thinking about such things. Anyway, he likes knowing where everyone is, who is going where and doing what, so he can better plan his next moves. ]

Tell you what. Sounds like you guys are stretched thin out there... The detective and I can swing by and check on our new friend here. We're not too far away.

[hyakuoku]

OH, I get it. Cabin is the X'd out eyes face.

[ Two cops helping out sounds fine to him. He's cop neutral. (Sorry, Joker.) ]

If you can do that, it would be a lot faster than us coordinating to try from here.
