the third investigation

[airlockedmods]

[This week has been an interesting one to say the least. Feelings found, feelings lost, feelings repressed. Just feelings all around in one way or another. But there's always that terrible chance that PAL's motive has had the intended effect.

When the champions are awakened by the morning announcement their original abilities and powers have not been returned to them. It could be a good sign, a sign that they haven't lost another friend, but there's still that sinking feeling of dread that's starting to go hand-in-hand with Fridays.

Time to explore the mansion.]

INVESTIGATION CLOSE

[airlockedmods]

Attention, Champions. The time for investigation has ended and the time for a trial has begun. Report to the pool patio doors with any relevant evidence and wait for the doors to open. Refusal to comply with result in an automatic punishment.

[Noticeably for anybody who didn't know that he was with Junpei, Kip doesn't come down to the patio doors.]

[airlockedmods]

That means you too, Kipsqueak.

[theoverseen]

I'm staying with Junpei.

[airlockedmods]

It's listed in your contract that you're to observe all Champion Rose Ceremonies. Are you breaking your contract or has all that sugar finally rotted through your brain meats?

[theoverseen]

The contract says an Overseer, not all Overseeers.

It's also in my contract as the host to prevent harm coming to the Champions outside of rule 7 and other punishments.

You're Overseer enough for the both of us, aren't you Mr. Biggy Big Man?

[airlockedmods]

[There's a long, calculating moment of silence from PAL.]

...Very well. Since the Champion Challenger is incapacitated I suppose someone must stay with him.

But your insubordination will not be tolerated again.
