Who: Peps (maybe some others?)
Where: Various, maybe converging at dorm?
When: During and after That

[Ya'll getting a Dissonance voice call after he breaks away to a separate study room, since it's looking like it's gonna take SensitIV A While to get through mending up that FiN newbie's body.]

Hhhey team... Awkward neewsss. There was a Wild City thing again~ I'm probably gonna want like a volunteer ta take 'em next time, 'n we might wanna choose some backups too. They're getting ta be... a handful!

[He'll let them get some fussing out before he starts going over the relevant details of the previous situation pep got called in for, for any peps he hasn't explained it to yet (feel free to assume he had already): the revival was for a second suicide after Haruto came back from the in-game suicide. And he'll go over what he knows so far of this situation: namely Aries ran into a new arrival who he believes to be from his and Haruto's past and pretty much gruesomely murdered him over a clearly bitter grudge. He'll hesitantly mention the victim called a Live that caught the act. John called him after he saw the alert and is getting the situation sorted, they've got SensitIV on hand. Also if anyone sounds like they want to play it back he'll ask them to save it for after he's off and also suggest they turn down the volume and don't look too close at the feed.]

((feel free to respond with like.. a prose summary of their actions in reaction to this news or thread out key dialogue with Pink, whichever! This is mainly for noting IC actions taken.))

What! Oh no!! Shoot!

[we_meet_again]

Did the revival go okay? Are you alright?

[He's already looking for the recording in the app's impossible interface]

[heroicsacrifeyes]

[Has also seen what happened by this point and

Waaah, they need to give you a break Pink-kun, I’ll volunteer for the next one.

[ placing his hand on her head and geeeeently pushing her down. ]

Sit down, Squeakers. You're not going within one foot of a cadaver, much less those living fuckos.

['Pink-kun']

[Well it's true she didn't Last Supper either so that's fair]

Ahaha, I think John-san just thought of me first automatically. He's got it rough. Well next time I'll know who ta pass to if a call comes in like this again.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ I mean yeah he's watching the feed, quietly. He doesn't avert his eyes at any point, apparently absorbing it with an unflinching--even bored demeanor. Only when the feed's concluded does he go ahead and dig his lighter and pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and lights up. He then leans back in his chair and props his ankles up on top of desk.

If/when someone finally comes around, in a lazy drawl: ]

So, you all still wanna keep giving Wild City chances, or are we finally ready to pull the plug on that?\

[ haha, get it? ]

[comphosite]

[your rock is alarmed]

A-again?!

[worldlyafflictions]

[rock friend noo]

Ah, hey~ don't tell me ya've been following all this.

[sleeplessknight]

Pachuun?!

You should've taken someone—are you okay?!

[sleeplessknight]

[after the call is over, against her better judgement, she's watching the live and

whew

she's watching until the end, and when it's over she'll just sit there quietly for a long moment, letting all that sink in with no reaction other than a slight tremble in the hand that's clutching the phone]

Cobalt: @sensitIV Hi, this is Cobalt from pep!pep!
Cobalt: In light of recent events, we are drafting up some policies aimed toward preventing abuse of revival abilities
Cobalt: Current thoughts involve charging steep fees and withholding future services to those who don't pay their debts
Cobalt: Since revivals involve your unit as well, you are invited to participate in our discussion if you choose, either in person or via Dissonance.

[artificialinelegance]

foxglove: we already charge fees for healing
foxglove: gotta get that cheddar

Re: Text

[rollwillpowercheck]

hydrangea: Hi Cobalt-san!
hydrangea: I think talking in person would be easier, probably.
hydrangea: But Santa-san is correct; we technically have a flat fee... though many of us don't actually charge or only only do so situationally.
hydrangea: Should we come by your dorms, or...?

higanbana: Hello, Cobalt-San.
higanbana: It's nice to meet you.
higanbana: This is an interesting proposal
higanbana: However
higanbana: If possible, I would like to hold this conversation in person.
higanbana: Typing is rather difficult for me on this small device.

[mycaringheart]

Lavender: As the others have mentioned, we technically already ask a healing fee.
Lavender: It would be completely reasonable for you to charge a revival fee as well.
Lavender: What happened to spark this discussion, though?

[forgottenmercy]

[some time after the text, factoring in travel time back from the library and time to drop off his books, a soft knock comes at peppep's door.]
