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.]

Comments

[daughterofthemark]

Thank you! I was a little nervous about how I would look, but I just had to try it.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[And, because they're friends:]

Shown it to anyone special yet?

[daughterofthemark]

Sir Junpei, you are special.

[...arianna how the hell did that manage to fly over your head]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Oh--I--

[!!!!! CRITICAL HIT. OVER 9000 DAMAGE. F.O.E. JUMPYDOLL HAS BEEN VANQUISHED!

He covers his face with one hand, then mumbles.]

I meant... I mean, if you have someone you like here. Y-you know. Like-like.

[daughterofthemark]

O-oh!

[The reddest teenage princess DWRP has to offer.]

No, I... I have not done such a thing.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Uh-oh. The hand slides down.]

Iiiiiis there someone? That you might want to show.

[There's blood in the water now, Arianna.]

[daughterofthemark]

[Well, it's not really a secret.]

...Dame Clarith.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[...Aww.]

You should. She likes animals.

[IT'S FUNNY 'CAUSE... anyway.]

[daughterofthemark]

Perhaps I will.

[thankfully she doesn't get it]

[misanthropicprinciple]

So you got that out of the dumbwaiter?

[daughterofthemark]

No, it was already in my closet.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Huh. Just--suddenly there without it having been there last night? I wonder how they could have gotten it in there without waking you up.

[daughterofthemark]

Perhaps Sir PAL did it. He seems to have access to most parts of the mansion.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Oh, I guess he does have arms that can come out of the ceiling and walls. Uggh. Thinking about that happening while we sleep? Creepy.

[daughterofthemark]

It does seem a bit off-putting.

[And that's before she remembers the creepy eye-hand grabbers from Ginnungagap B5F.]

But I can see no alternative, save perhaps for some absurdly precise application of geomagnetic energy.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Blink.]

Geomagnetic...?

[Wait, he thought she was some kind of medieval princess, what the...?]

[daughterofthemark]

It's an unusual energy field found in certain types of places, such as Yggdrasil. It can instantly move people from one place to another. I believe it's the basis for Ariadne Threads.

[Which are obviously a thing you know about, right?]

[misanthropicprinciple]

H-hold on. Geomagnetic... that's Earth's magnetic field, isn't it? You're saying you can use the magnetic field to teleport?

[daughterofthemark]

...what does "teleport" mean?

[misanthropicprinciple]

Uh, disappear and then reappear somewhere else.

[daughterofthemark]

Oh. Then I suppose so.

[misanthropicprinciple]

And that's... common, for you?

[daughterofthemark]

Not especially. I had never even seen a working Geomagnetic Pole until recently.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Huh. That's... huh.

[Magnets. How do they even work?]

I thought your world was more magicky than sciencey. With the monsters and all.

[daughterofthemark]

I've never entirely understood the difference.

[She doesn't know this, but apparently you can also point a Geomagnetic Pole to a specific location by chanting a spell. Etrian logic...]
