[So that whole talk about plotting the other month, huh.]
What would you be bringing to it, exactly. Are you an engineer?
[It's said with a tone that implies he's not expecting the answer to be yes. Although he's not opposed to sharing, whatever her purposes may be, she has to contribute.]
Haven't I told you about my other ability? In addition to being despairingly fashionable and despairingly full of despair, I'm also a despairingly brilliant analyst.
[So no, not an engineer, but she doesn't think that's quite a dealbreaker.]
So despairingly brilliant at analyzing, that with limited exposure to something, I can pick up anything useful from it and replicate it or twist it as I see fit. I've got experience with neuroscience, a little robotics, a little computer programming here and there, even some totally messed up ways of introducing subliminal messaging, all from hanging around people who have the know how and watching them work, even if I didn't originally.
[And those are just a few examples from back home. Who even knows how many things she's picked up over time here?]
So while I'm not necessarily an engineer, I can be one pretty quickly if needed. Or, let's say you find someone and they totally vanish in the middle of the project, leaving their work an unfinished, incomprehensible mess. Or if they suddenly develop certain moral objections to finishing things. I'd say I'm probably the best person for figuring it out and keeping things on track.
[That seems like a bit of a ludicrous claim, but it's Enoshima. She's equally likely to be telling the truth as she is to suddenly go "just kidding!" probably with the intent of getting someone's hopes up so she can crush them or to stave off boredom or something.
He considers this for a few moments. If he doesn't get any takers, perhaps her skills might be useful in getting him an engineer if money isn't enough of a draw. Reliable isn't a word he'd use for the young woman, but she's the least likely to have moral objections, that's for sure.
What a weird job interview.]
If anyone else responds, I'll contact you. I suppose you can look at my notes in the meantime. [Guess who stole back as much of his emotion energy research from Briarlan as he could?]
[That's not a bad idea, she's pretty good at procurement. It's been a while since she's done anything like that, but she could probably find an engineer. Though what state the engineer is in might be a bit of an issue.]
Sure, send me what you have and I'd be happy to look it over. And I'm super looking forward to working with you.
[Though if this falls through, she'll despair, so it's not like she can really lose here.]
[As long as they can work, he doesn't really care. Ethics shmethics.]
I'll drop them off tomorrow.
[It's probably better if he types up a copy. He's made more than a few scribbles in the margins anyway, so it'll be better to organize it for himself as well. Plus all the results from their trials could be better documented, and he still needs to gather his observations from that last trial, even if it was a failure followed by more failures.
... that was a very bad time in his life here. But it's time to move past it.]
[It'll be fine, they'll have all their limbs attached still and everything.]
Thanks, I should be around. But if I'm not just let yourself in and leave them wherever. There's no key under the mat or anything like that, but we both know that's not really a problem.
[Murder references aside, she'll enjoy going through the all the documentation surrounding Kylo's failures. And probably despair while reading them, but none of that's surprising.]
[Will Enoshima ever stop bringing up the murder? Unlikely. Will Ren ever start caring enough to be uncomfortable about it? Absolutely not.
Junko will find the documents delivered early the next day as promised, typed up relatively neatly (for someone who has barely used a mechanical typewriter) and organized as well as one would expect of a mad science experiment. Along with a very basic abstract of the original purpose, he's included observations of the test trials that were done outside of Verens, some basic schematics for the device that eventually malfunctioned, as well as the results from some direct experiments that Otherworlders participated in, which Ren has marked as being of particular interest.
Sure, cancelling emotional effects is something he's still interested in, but being able to eliminate Otherworlder abilities is the ultimate goal now. The more they know about how they all interact with this planet on a metaphysical level, the closer they'll be to achieving that goal.
Attached is also an additional note, handwritten this time:]
Contact me if you're interested in payment. Whatever doesn't jeopardize the project is fine.
[She'd be super weirded out if he did start caring or being uncomfortable about it. Then it'd be time to see if the pod people invaded.
But anyways she'll go through all of this and despair over seeing which Otherworlders participated. There's some names in there that are super important to her which causes all sorts of gross despair feelings.
And once she's done reviewing and despairing, she'll send a note of her own, whether he honors it or not, she doesn't really care.]
It won't cost you much. I just want copies of everything, whether the project succeeds or fails.
