[Week 9]

[Marinette is Exhausted but there's no rest for superheroes!! Especially ones who have somehow adopted half the ship!! The whole secrets business leaves a bad taste in her mouth, especially with several of the people here apparently being dead.]

[And one of those people is Luke.]

[She's worried, to say the least. So even if he may not want company right now, she's knocking hesitantly at his door]

Luke? It's Marinette.

It's not something you can really explain....

[But if this story is true - and she has a hard time believing it isn't, that opens up a whole new perspective. If Alice can just bring people back, does that mean everyone who died can live again? What will happen to Luke and Jason once the 'game' is over? Will they go back to being dead.]

Do you think... it's part of the experiment? If she can just stop someone's death.... Maybe she traveled back in time to the moment of your death and saved you? Like in a movie?

[It's not theoretically impossible, but]

Exactly. [But he listens to her because it's something he's vaguely considered. Marinette seems to put his thoughts into words though and he finds it easier to talk about it than if he'd brought it up himself.]

It's possible. She can apparently pick us up from all of our worlds, so maybe. But that raises the question of why. I can see wanting to stop someone's death and why that would be interesting to test, but…["Why me????"] What's so special about these deaths that she was interested in?

You ever think about the kind of people that're on the ship? I haven't found a real pattern yet. [Apparently he finds that Marinette's smart enough and trustworthy enough to have this conversation.]
