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

[If she had her powers, if she still could read minds, she'd know in a heartbeat that she was being stalked by the most adorable purple deer to ever exist.

As it is, she does not. It will take her a good long while to notice, concentrating as she is. And maybe humming?]

[daughterofthemark]

[Arianna listens for a while as she watches, but eventually her curiosity gets the better of her.]

What are you doing?

[goteachother]

[Queenie jumps, gasping and nearly letting the whole project tumble out of her lap. Magic catches a couple of the bobbins that start to roll away from her and then she looks over her shoulder with a sheepish laugh, shaking her head.]

Arianna you scared me half to death.

'm making lace, sweetie.

[daughterofthemark]

I'm sorry! That was not my intention!

[She's looking back and forth between Queenie and scanning the ground in front of her for anything else that got dropped and in the process completely failing to recognize the answer to her question.]

[goteachother]

[Thankfully since everything is interconnected in a giant crisscrossed mess of thread there's not really far for anything to go.]

What are you doin' sneakin up on people, then silly? [She clearly thinks Arianna is the cutest thing ever though.]

[daughterofthemark]

[Oh good it looks like she didn't ruin anything.]

I received this costume, and it simply seemed like the right thing to do.

[It sounds silly when she says it out loud.]

[goteachother]

[Queenie just looks her up and down, head tilted curiously.]

Is that... somethin deer do? Sneak up on folks?

[She knows she's meant to be a deer but the poor city girl has no idea beyond that.]

[daughterofthemark]

They normally simply patrol their territory, but they have been known to become more aggressive.

[please don't listen to arianna, queenie, she's a video game character]

[goteachother]

Aggressive? Really?

Gosh I had no idea.

[They don't have deer in Central Park, okay.]

[daughterofthemark]

Well, it's usually a response to their young being endangered. They normally only attack people who refuse to leave their territory.

[well maybe they should]

[...not ragelopes though that would be bad]

[goteachother]

've never heard of deer attackin people. Makes me glad I'm from the city. Biggest thing we gotta worry about are rats.

[A small, fond smile like she's thought of an inside joke of some sort.]

and maybe stray erumpents.

[daughterofthemark]

[Arianna's all set to talk about how rats can be troublesome too, but--]

Elephants?

[goteachother]

Erumpents!

[Thankfully the city has catch dogs for the rat issue.]

They're uh... a magical beast. From the same place as elephants. I honestly don't know much about 'em. But I know someone that does.

Kind of.

I'm honestly expecting to find out more on that front this weekend?

[daughterofthemark]

Oh! Then you've met an expert only recently.

[...and she probably has erumpents to deal with.]

[goteachother]

I don't know if he's an expert exactly but...

I mean who is? Magical Beasts aren't exactly somethin we know much about at all.

[daughterofthemark]

It's the same with the Labyrinth's monsters. What we know about them is still very limited.

[goteachother]

Labyrinth? That sounds a lot more intimidating than a few loose billywigs.

Is that somethin you... deal with a lot? [Surely princesses shouldn't be wandering around in things called labyrinths.]

[daughterofthemark]

Not often! My group only went in to fetch someone. Adventurers go there all the time, though!

[goteachother]

That's reassuring then. Wouldn't want someone as sweet as you running around fighting monsters on the regular.

[daughterofthemark]

[hahaha...haha...ha...]

You need not worry. Although monsters have infested the Temple of Ginnungagap as well, they will most likely be the last ones I face for a long time.

[goteachother]

Goodness, things sound awful dangerous for you, back home.

We've just got the one beast on the loose but it's been causin all sorts of havoc in the city.
