Week 1

[After the initial introduction of the Overseers on Sunday, the Champions were left to their own devices in investigating the part of the ship they have access to to their hearts' content. However, the doors that Jamie and Bolton came through are locked tight and cannot be unlocked via PIP.

On Monday morning, the same voice that awakened them the previous morning chirps at them again from their PIPs at 7 am on the dot. There's also a pop-up message waiting for them: a notice announcing "office hours" for Bolton in the library and Jamie in the art room every day from here on out.

Enjoy your week, Champions.]

Oh, hello! [Yurika waves and sits down happily.] Everyone seems to be all over those library books. Did you find anything interesting in there?

[cyan_maid]

[Hm? Jane looks up...and, well, certainly won't begrudge Yurika's company. She's much more personable than some boys we won't mention.]

Hello there! I actually managed to find one book by my favorite author. [She taps the cover of the book in her hands.] There's an incredibly lacking section on anything that's not about space, so I'm surprised I even found this, even if I must've read it a dozen times back home.

[ratherdoweddings]

Maybe they just want us to think about where we are and nothing else? It might motivate people to either get used to it or get sick of it.

[cyan_maid]

[That...is actually quite clever. Jane's eyes widen just a little.]

...Darn, if that's the case...that's terribly subtle. I didn't even think of that.

[ratherdoweddings]

I wouldn't put anything past them after earlier. Trying to guilt us into murdering one another because then you could tell everyone's families where they went? What else could they pull?

[cyan_maid]

Is that something you'd think they'd do, too? [Jane shakes her head, sighing.] Geez...I really don't like to think about how much lower these people can go. It only makes me more tense.

[ratherdoweddings]

I don't know what else to think about. But at least it's a nice prison, as they probably go, right?

[cyan_maid]

I guess. I haven't exactly been captured by anyone before to know.

[ratherdoweddings]

Me neither, but I still didn't expect movies and social time.

[cyan_maid]

No, neither did I. They're either really pushing for us to suck up and live out our lives here, or they want to make any potential violence all the more painful by letting us get to know each other.

[ratherdoweddings]

But if we do get to know each other, then we'll be good because no one will want to hurt their friends!

[cyan_maid]

But that hinges on everyone being at least agreeable with each other. I don't think we've all been around each other long enough to tell if that's the case.

[She can think of one person she already can't stand.]

[ratherdoweddings]

That's true, but maybe we should just try to make sure to get along better? Even Angelica-san and Togami-san must have something they like.

[cyan_maid]

[A bit dryly,] Mister Togami certainly seemed to like the library when I passed through.

[ratherdoweddings]

You mean hogging it and still complaining?

[cyan_maid]

Precisely. I didn't stick around to give him a reason to notice I was there.

[ratherdoweddings]

I really don't know what that guy is thinking! Even if you're rich, the world isn't all yours, after all.

[cyan_maid]

...Is that why he acts like that?

[Jane sounds less than impressed.]

[ratherdoweddings]

It sounds like it. But you're an heiress and you're already way nicer.

[cyan_maid]

Gosh, but being an heiress or not doesn't have anything to do with being nice. It's not like we're even all that rich - my Dad has a normal job, we live in the suburbs...and I'm quite happy to think of myself working hard to run Crockercorp, and to take the business problems head-on. It's an incredibly important company, but that doesn't make me the next Paris Hilton.

[ratherdoweddings]

What does your company actually do, anyway?

[cyan_maid]

Oh, we're quite a giant when it comes to baked goods. Mixes, notions for decorating cakes and cookies, baking equipment - you name it, we've got it. Crockercorp is practically its own empire! They've also been working on some experimental technology too, but I don't think much of it is going to catch on.

[ratherdoweddings]

That sounds great! My Akito is one of our ship's cooks along with being a backup pilot, and -- what kind of technology?

[cyan_maid]

Some of it is advanced baking technology, and that's actually useful. I have a spoon that could store thousands of recipes on it and recite them back to you while you're baking, and it's great! And there's a portable computer that you can wear on your head and use with chat clients...but it would give me a terrible headache after a while, so it's not terribly convenient. Then there's a thing called a Gristwidget. [She shakes her head.] It's totally useless.

[ratherdoweddings]

That is a little silly. I wonder who they have thinking up these things?
