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.]

It would be a poor monarch who refused to meet such challenges, would it not?

[that's lucian for 'come the fuck at me']

[serrata]

... Does that mean you'll take song requests?

[ oh no. that look. that fucking look. all of you who saw this face at the King's Game, behold it and tremble. ]

[scourgingstars]

I may yet consider it.

[man fuck it his liver is under a stress test and he's feeling actual human emotions this might as well happen]

[serrata]

[ addressing the group as a whole: ]

Did you hear that, everyone? He's going to take requests.

[ whoa boy. ]

[scourgingstars]

. . .

[quickly pours another drink]

[serrata]

[ Alright then, after some conferring, Yuuri heads back over to Ardyn with a smile on her face that can't rightfully be called anything less than diabolical. ]

We've got a song for you! ♪ [ she sounds so happy about it. be afraid. ] You'll give it a try, won't you?

[scourgingstars]

[throws back another drink like it's goddamn water]

Of course.

[serrata]

Good.

[ She hops up to the machine and scrolls for a little bit.

Then she selects his song. ]

The stage is all yours, Ardyn-san.

[scourgingstars]

[Fortunately, someone perpetually exalted and constantly with the attention of an entire planet on him had very, very little concept of stage fright or shame.]

[And he was also far more drunk than his demeanor let on.]

[So naturally, he rolled a solid 18 on his charisma check and killed it.]

[serrata]

[ Goodbye, Fantasy Sweet. This is where Yuuri Wakasa dies. She's laughing too hard to even do anything except applaud helplessly and just sit there in a giggling heap.

Call a trial she's done for. ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

[This applause is as hearty as Junpei is currently not. A STAR IS BORN.]

[daughterofthemark]

[Arianna's applause is completely unironic and she has no idea why Rii-san is laughing.]

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Ardiseased or not, Junpei's time has come.]

Rii-san. Rii-san.

[He beckons her closer.]

[serrata]

[ And lean in she does. You should probably be doing a concern around this point, Ardyn. ]

I take it you've got an idea, then?

[misanthropicprinciple]

[And he sends her journal a PM whispers in her ear, a devious smile on his face all the while. He leans back, still smirking.]

Yeah?

[serrata]

[ What's more terrifying for onlookers: the fact that he's whispering to her or the fact that Yuuri immediately starts laughing as soon as he does so?

(Both. The answer is both.) ]

Yes! That's perfect. I can't second it enough.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[He looks past her to Ardyn.]

Enjoy.
