the third investigation

[airlockedmods]

[This week has been an interesting one to say the least. Feelings found, feelings lost, feelings repressed. Just feelings all around in one way or another. But there's always that terrible chance that PAL's motive has had the intended effect.

When the champions are awakened by the morning announcement their original abilities and powers have not been returned to them. It could be a good sign, a sign that they haven't lost another friend, but there's still that sinking feeling of dread that's starting to go hand-in-hand with Fridays.

Time to explore the mansion.]

... It's all right, Ardyn. I'm not asking you to be anything but what you can be. I understand what that's like.

[ It's fine. ]

I just wanted you to know that. Besides, I need your help taking care of all the people here, right? And someone as level-headed as you is actually quite helpful. Even I get mad sometimes.

[scourgingstars]

Level-headed. [He repeated that as though in disbelief he'd heard it at all, practically rolling his eyes.]

I'm doing all that I can. I just suspect a day is going to come when even that may not be enough.

[honoraryembryon]

... I don't think you give yourself enough credit.

[ A small frown. ]

Struggling and then trying your best is all any of us can do. In that way, we're not all that different. ... Even if you don't think so.
