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

[ It takes Yuuri a moment to realize she's being addressed -- because of course she wouldn't think to answer to Heart's name and in her panic it takes her a moment to make the connection. The two-meter golden monstrosity shakes its head and makes a sort of panicky gesture with its hands that's very unlike Heart but certainly looks like something a panicky girl might do. ]

No, I-- no, that was me! Yuuri!

[ ... well, technically, he's right. she did just frighten the god damn life out of herself. ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

[No. Nooooooo. This is Church facepalming. No, better make that a double.]

Junpei's going to hate this so much. Okay. Okay. You're...Heart now. Or you've got Heart's...thing. Transforming thing. Jesus good fuck damn christ this stupid fucking BULLSHIT HAS GOT TO STOP.

[Okay, take a breath.] Fuck, um, okay, so...can you...transform back...?

[serrata]

[ How do you think I feel?! a panicky little part of her wants to snap but she makes herself keep her mouth shut. This isn't Church's fault and he doesn't really deserve to have her yelling at him. ]

No, I don't-- I don't even know how I did this let alone how I'm supposed to turn back! I barely even trust myself to walk!

[ She's two meters tall, Church. Two meters. It's like the Extra Heels have unleashed their karmic vengeance on her. ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

[He's not going to presume he, as a normie, has it any worse, but god damn it, he hasn't yelled about things in a while! Let the boy yell!]

Heart might be able to give you some pointers? It sounded like he has to get into like...a certain kind of headspace for it to happen. Um...but if this just happened, you might not have had any control over it.

How uh........how do you feel?

[serrata]

I--I don't... I don't really know...?

[ She sounds understandably shaken and it takes her a moment to try and sort through it. If Church is right, maybe calming herself down might do something. ]

Well, now I'm a little scared and plenty confused but I don't think I was feeling any way in particular when this happened.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Okay. That's...super understandable. So. How about physically, how do you feel physically? Besides 'taller'. That one's a given.

[serrata]

Just... off, really. Nothing hurts and nothing feels wrong exactly... but I can tell that something feels different. Ardyn-san said the same sort of thing.

[ She looks down at her(?) hands and flexes her(?) fingers. There'd be an expression of wonder on her face if it were actually visible right now. ]

And I actually think I feel... maybe a little sturdier? Something like that.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Good! No, really, that's good. Means it's not actively hurting you in any way, and if this is the sort of form Heart uses to punch out bullshit, then yeah, you'd feel stronger and stuff like that. It's just a matter of not freaking yourself and everyone around you out. I...guess.

Kinda hope this doesn't last long, like the other week when PAL was dicking around.

[serrata]

... Maybe if we're lucky and nothing happens, he'll just get bored of it once the novelty wears off. He does hate being bored, doesn't he?

[ that last question comes out in the most facetious voice imaginable. yuuri wakasa wants to knife the A.I. ]

Do we know if this has happened to anyone else? There's me... I'm assuming Heart-san and Ardyn-san...

[motherfucking_ghost]

Did you see Ardyn earlier? Yeah, it's...it's a thing going around. I don't know how, but yeah, probably because PAL is bored of all this happy schmoopy friendship bs. Turning a girl into a robot insect monster heart thing must be making him cackle maniacally somewhere wherever he's housed.

[serrata]

At breakfast, just before I turned into... well, this.

[ s i g h ]

So someone else has his powers now -- do we have any idea who they went to?

[motherfucking_ghost]

We're still trying to figure out who's lost what and who's gained what. It's a shitshow is what it is. I don't think you'll be the last person screaming today.

...Can I, uh. Get you anything?

[serrata]

[ There's a long pause. ]

I'm... I'm not sure?

[ she's looking down at those big ol' toku hands again and her voice suggests she'd be wearing a frankly baffled expression of she had a face that could actually emote. ]

I don't actually know if I can eat or drink or if I need much of anything like this.
