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.]

Junpei is just never going to have more than one set of boxers

[misanthropicprinciple]

You're welcome.

[Normally, he'd be mortified right along with her. Maybe there are some real advantages to having contracted fuckface.]

How are you, anyway? Did end up with any...

[He gestures vaguely to himself. Surely by now, everyone knows something's going on, right?]

[desperateprayer]

...When I sing I... Feel like I've found something. Like my attention is being drawn to specific people. ...It really hurt my head during karaoke, since my attention was being split.

[ She isn't sure what it is, really, but it. Works? It's a thing. ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Huh. That's interesting. Do you remember who you were drawn to?

[desperateprayer]

Not really. I was trying to ignore it because I didn't want to interrupt anyone's fun.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Wonder what it means. I don't remember anyone talking about having powers like that.

[desperateprayer]

...Mikaela... Used to go out onto the hill at night at sing. I just assumed she couldn't sleep, but... With what I know now...

[ Maybe it was her power... ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

...You think it's Mikaela's power.

[That's... sad. That's very sad. He pauses, then pats Clarith's arm gently.]

Better for you to have it than anyone else. Right? Better... for you to know her better.

[desperateprayer]

...Yes. I think... That makes the most sense. Lee didn't seem to have one. Or Finn. I think we would have seen theirs... Or they would have mentioned it.

[ She almost wonders if PAL did this on purpose. ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

I have Ardyn's. Nishitani has Queenie's. Rii-san has Heart's. Heart's got Church's.

[As he speaks, he finally puts his playing cards down and takes his ever-present notes and pencil out of his pocket, writing all of that down.]

You have Mikaela's... Aw, shit. [Junpei looks up.] Do we know who has Nari's?

[desperateprayer]

N-Not that I know of?

[ ...Is that a concern? She doesn't know much about Nari's powers. ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Has anyone seen her at all since Monday night?

[desperateprayer]

I haven't... I don't know about others, though. Was she not at karaoke?

[misanthropicprinciple]

Not that I noticed. And she usually comes to group gatherings, right?

[desperateprayer]

She does... She usually organizes the meetings...

[ ...Now she's worried about Nari. ]

...Maybe we should check on her?

[misanthropicprinciple]

Yeah.

[He gets up, leaving his wares.]

If she's lost her powers, she could be in trouble.

[desperateprayer]

I-In trouble?

[ Nari never told her this, but now she's worried. Going to get ready to go. ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Yeah. It's... I mean, I don't know for sure. She should probably be the one to tell us if she's in danger.

[desperateprayer]

...Let's go check on Miss Nari.

[ Come on, Junpei. Time to go check on Nari. ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Knock knock knock on Door 3.]

Nari?

[everylittlesecret]

[There's a thunk that should sound familiar to Junpei that hits the door along with a screeching squeak. The door is opened enough for Nari, or rather what looks like a Nari height blanket to peek out.]

Y-Yes?

[desperateprayer]

Nari, are you all right...?

[ Well she's alive which is a relief. ]

[everylittlesecret]

I'm fine... Why?

[Sounds too tired to be fine.]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Since people's powers seem to have been... swapped...

[Is that the right word? Well.]

I, uh. I told Clarith I wanted to check on you.

[everylittlesecret]

Swapped...? Is that... So I'm... not dying?

[desperateprayer]

...I have Mikaela's powers, I think. My singing now... It's like it... Finds things? When I sang at karaoke it... Was distracting...

[ SHE'S TRYING TO WORD THIS forgive her. ]
