Week 5

Week 5

[It's been five weeks (~~since you looked at me~~) and with the deaths of Shadow and Rukia, the group that was initially 20 strong has dwindled down to ten. Ten people in the span of a month and, even with the Overseers seeming increase in empathy for the remaining Champions, there is no end in sight for the Champion Excellence Program.

And again at 7 am on Sunday the mechanical woman's voice chimes to awaken the remaining champions on Sunday morning. After the initial wake-up call there is no new floor announcement this week.

And again the Champions are awakened they have regained one new memory from the ones they've lost. Starting again on Sunday, as well, Jamie and Bolton will be back to their usual office hours in their usual locations.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

[ooc: welcome to week 5, everyone! Check-in has begun and don't forget to submit your memory regains!]

[Ricky is just... baffled by this. Wasn't there supposed to be a motive this week? It's not that she'd prefer that, but. She's confused now. ~~DAMMIT TEMERITY YOU TOLD HER TO LOOK FOR PATTERNS sort of AND NOW THE PATTERNS AREN'T PATTERNS ANYMORE~~

So eventually she just gets some food and... tries to enjoy the atmosphere?

WHAT IS HAPPENING]

[Rickyyyyyyyy here comes Jane, a little breathless from making sure she dances with everyone, and now it's your turn!]

Hey, do you want to dance?

I.

Sure?

[How is any of this happening]

[Jane smiles, holding a hand out to her. C'mon, they've got some boppy, poppy tunes to bounce around to, it won't hurt.]

It's just one dance, I promise.

Oh! No, I'm not saying anything is wrong...

[She hurries and takes Jane's hand. SHE'S JUST CONFUSED BY ALL THIS, REALLY]

No no, you just - you look confused. Not that I really blame you, but...just going with the flow isn't going to hurt us, I think.

[Besides, friendship dancing is totally an awesome thing that needs to happen more often.]

[It is! Especially since Ricky's still kind of feeling like shit this week.]

I just... I thought I'd figured out the pattern...

[Jane ceases trying to coax Ricky onto the dance floor at that, taking a moment to look a bit more serious and lowering her voice.]

...Maybe the pattern isn't in the smaller things. It might be in the bigger picture? There...still might be something that hasn't been sprung on us for today. But it'd be silly to sit on the floor in protest and demand it, wouldn't it?
