sixth victim

[airlockedmods]

[At 7 AM on Friday, the mini-maps that allow the teleporter to be used all turn back on. Like any other time that the status quo has been abruptly restored at the end of the week, there's something ominous about it all the same. Especially on the fourth floor.]

[There's some clothes in here.

Two pieces, in fact, will look startlingly familiar to Xander, because they're Champion unitards.]

[kingshaming]

[Of course.

Fuck. Fuck him, fuck this game, fuck everything. Anything else pull his attention before he goes to have a Talk with the Doctor?]

[airlockedmods]

[A red polo that looks too small for Bolton, and a black apron. The polo hangs strangely like there's something attached to it, while the apron seems to have some kind of embroidery.]

[kingshaming]

[He can't help but be attracted to red- so he goes to check it out. How 'too small' are we talking?]

[airlockedmods]

[About Jamie's size.

There's also a white plastic oval stuck to the left breast, next to the collar.]

[kingshaming]

[Xander has no idea of name tags or the like, so he kinda fiddles with it to see if it comes off]

[airlockedmods]

[It takes some fiddling, but he can pull it free!

...The magnetic backing drops out of the shirt and onto the floor, though.

Congrats, Xander, you have +1 nametag. It has a red bullseye on it, and the word "Target" in bright red. And then under that in black, it says "Jamison."]

[kingshaming]

[...I'm not gonna have a redo of the typewriter tag but know he legit pressed the Target logo like it was a button and then was confused for a moment. Keep that image, it's my gift to you.

What about the apron?]

[airlockedmods]

[Hecking magnets. How do they work.

It's a black apron with a cutesy stylized coffee cup embroidered on it in white.

It also has "Bolton" embroidered on it, next to the collar.]

[kingshaming]

[He doesn't know retail but he does know servitude. And having to wear your name like a dog with a collar]

Uniforms?

[Looking to be time to find the others]

[airlockedmods]

[Indeed! Just one more note about the general unlived-in-ness -

the bed is immaculately made, except for the fact that it ain't got no pillows.]

[kingshaming]

[He stares at the missing pillows. Something about that fact, that he probably took them to wherever him and Jamie sleep- the mundane-ness, yet so telling nature of this small detail...

No one else is in here right now, so no one can see him start to shake as he stares. It lasts longer then he would admit even on threat of death.

Eventually, he goes back into the hallway. Time to get a second opinion.]

[OH THANK GOD IT'S JUST TARGET AND NOT BETTY CROCKER YOU GAVE HER A FRIGHT]
