week 4

[airlockedmods]

[Just like the previous week the status quo is restored with frighteningly quick efficiency. PAL still makes the morning and night time announcements through the PIP on each Champion's arm, and still the Champion unitards are freshly laundered and re-hung each morning in their closets. Even the glass roses Choromatsu and Takumi broke after the trial in their fit of anger have been replaced with fresh ones. All signs that there was anything amiss this weekend are completely gone.

There's a new floor to explore, their "reward" for a job well done.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

I heard, I'm real fuckin' excited about it! Startin' ta feel more like home every week in here!

[ Murder, bowling, karaoke... all they need is some pachinko parlors and they'll be all set. ]

So the whole point is this shit's dangerous as fuck, huh? Count me in, damn.

[everylittlesecret]

I think it'll feel more like home to me once we get a library. I miss reading decent books.

[Yes, she's a nerd.]

Awesome. Then pick a death ball and get in. Time to roll then.

[buddyoldpal]

[ You would be a nerd, Nari. But he'd get you those books. ]

Ya know, callin' em death balls don't make me feel too safe, girlie.

[ He grins. Death balls. Sounds like his type of thing tbh. ]

How the fuck do these work, anyhow?

[everylittlesecret]

[Nishitani for best uncle.]

I'm not the one who named them that. But it suits them.

[Yakuza non-lethal match props?]

Easy. Climb in and either jump or roll down either side of the staircase.

[buddyoldpal]

[ If a library pops up soon, you'll be the first to know, Nari. ]

Ha! Ain't gonna kill me, if that's what they're thinkin'.

[ But sliding down on ice... this looks so awesome? Look, any Yakuza prop can be non-lethal in the right hands (not Nishitani's, mind you.) ]

Sweet, I'm gonna fuckin' do it, then.

[ This may actually be the thing that gets him to act his age by the time he gets down, fingers crossed. ]

[everylittlesecret]

I'd hope not. So let's roll!

[She'll even help you into one of the orbs if needed.]

[buddyoldpal]

[ He is a grown man, he can definitely do this himself!

And maybe not die? Nah, he won't die. He will pop into one of these and roll the fuck down.... and spin. And spin. And spin.

And spin out before the first floor. BUT IT'S OKAY. He's got great balance.

When he isn't dizzy as fuck. ]

Holy fuck.

[everylittlesecret]

[Watching Nishitani spinning away from her gets Nari to start laughing. Sorry, but it's just so funny seeing someone do something so dangerous without a second though and maybe enjoying it?

She's quick to bound down the stairs and join him, a huge grin on her face.]

You okay there, Nishitani?

[buddyoldpal]

[ He's breathing, that's a good sign, but holy shit. You're like 40, Nishitani, you really should know better than to do this dumb shit.

Haha,right. ]

Holy fuck. [ He repeats, gripping his head. Everything is spinning.. But then he breaks into a grin. ] That was fuckin' awesome!

[everylittlesecret]

[Starting to feel your age finally? Good. About time.]

It looked it! Want me to get you some water and meds? You look like you might really need them for a potential wicked headache.

[buddyoldpal]

[ He tries to stand. And fails to stand. Which is a new experience for him, he's got like perfect balance normally.

Back to sitting on your ass, Nishitani. ]

Water's probably fine. I don't need any fuckin' meds.

[ Headaches are for losers!! ]

[everylittlesecret]

[This is why you don't take ideas from a twenty-something year old as to what is fun.]

Right, right. I'll be back then.

[Which she will be. Taking off at a dead run and coming back some time later carrying a glass of water.]

[buddyoldpal]

[ He would much prefer mahjong and strippers to this, but we make do. ]

Thanks, doll.

[ He takes the water and scarfs it down, holding his head and blinking once he sets the glass down. ]

Christ, I'm gettin' old.

[everylittlesecret]

[Sorry... she's going to giggle at that.]

You just now noticed?

[buddyoldpal]

[ He glares at her. It's not like, a real glare because she is basically his in-game niece at this point, but. ]

Look, I can do the important stuff, that's what counts, yeah?

[everylittlesecret]

[That gets more giggling out of her.]

Then leave the things the younger gens are supposed to do to me, alright? Like reckless shit like this.

[buddyoldpal]

[ Now that makes him laugh. ]

Reckless shit's my fuckin' favorite! I ain't gonna start playin' it safe just cause I ain't as young as I used ta be.

[everylittlesecret]

Then let's find some reckless shit that won't make you feel your age. Like drinking till I finally feel drunk.

[buddyoldpal]

Now that's a plan I can fuckin' get behind. Dunno how we ain't all drank the bar clean yet but I sure as fuck ain't complainin'.

[everylittlesecret]

If ya can walk, let's get to the bar then. I'll defrost the stairs later.

[buddyoldpal]

Sure I can walk! I've had hangovers worse than this.

[ Maybe... several years ago... but nonetheless, Crime Uncle stands up with only minimal swaying. Booze sure sounds like a great idea! ]

[everylittlesecret]

[Good. He's up. She'll lead the way to the karaoke bar with a big smile.]

I haven't gotten properly drunk in this place before!

[buddyoldpal]

Well, ya picked the right man ta do it with, darlin' cause if there's one thing I'm good at besides fightin' and fuckin' it's drinkin'!

[ Why is he like this...... ]
