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

Unfortunately, but I don't know if my dad is right about me dying if I get cut off from them... [It's not something she wants to tinker with.]

Because I have to consider the properties behind what I'm using. As a kid I never thought about it, but now as an adult it actually makes my abilities stronger when I look at what I'm using and how. I can make plants grow by manipulating the water stored inside of them and carefully controlled heat. The flowers on the memorials in the garden were grown by me in under five minutes.

[scourgingstars]

It's hard to say, with things like that. I hope it's not tested anytime soon.

[because Yikes, nari]

That's quite a fascinating power. Versatile, from the sound of it.

[everylittlesecret]

[She's not gonna have a good time starting tomorrow.]

It can be. I'm regulating my body temperature at all times with it. I really hate the cold...

[scourgingstars]

[it's prooooobably (not) fine]

That's a useful trick--I'm sure most people could say the same.

[. . .]

You know--there was one time when I was a teenager that I may have frozen the throne room. I was tossing around a set of magic flasks and didn't realize one had a Blizzaga spell loaded into it. So when I dropped it... [Ardyn gestured slightly to the frozen stairs.]

My younger brother complained for a week that it was cold in there. I still think he was exaggerating.

[everylittlesecret]

[That is amazing...]

Your baby bro might just have been more sensitive to the cold, or he was being a dick.

[Which... siblings do that. She and her own sister did things to mess with each other like that many a time.]

[scourgingstars]

Oh, Izunia just loves to have something to complain about. [Ardyn rolled his eyes with a slightly overdramatic long-suffering sigh. Life is just so hard, Nari.]

Our magic doesn't leave effects for nearly that long--five, maybe ten minutes at most? He just wanted me to remember I might have made a slight mistake.

[everylittlesecret]

[Hey, she knows the pain of siblings.

Wait.

.........

Something just pings her, and she checks her PIP really quickly.]

...... why is your last name the same as your brothers name?

[scourgingstars]

...Oh, right. I'd nearly forgotten--I actually don't know the reason for that.

[Ardyn seemed as genuinely confused as ever by that little issue.]

Our surname is 'Lucis Caelum'. I don't recall having changed it, and I doubt that I would.

[everylittlesecret]

Hmm... maybe you're missing a memory that tells you why you did it?

[It would make sense. She's probably got plenty of things to remember.]

[scourgingstars]

That does seem the logical conclusion, but I can't imagine what it might be.

[everylittlesecret]

Let's see.... discord in the family? You or he did something and you were forced into hiding? Maybe he died and you did it out of memory to him? One day you might have that answer! Except.... it probably means another one of us has died.

[scourgingstars]

It could be anything. But if that's the price for learning the truth, I would just as soon leave it well enough alone.

[everylittlesecret]

I'm done with memories myself. Nothing can be as bad as what came in this week, and if it is... well, fuck me sideways, I'd rather be blissfully unaware and stuck in this mansion for the rest of my life instead of finding out.

[scourgingstars]

Likewise, quite honestly. I suspect many of us can gladly say the same.

[everylittlesecret]

We have a decent sized group right now. We all get-..... most of us get along.

[scourgingstars]

I think that we're managing the best we're able. I can't say I know every single person well, but most of us seem to be decent enough people.

[everylittlesecret]

I clash with a few on occasion... but that's probably because I grew up in such a boring world compared to the rest of you. Nothing magical or otherwise.
