One New Notification!

[airlockedmods]

[About a day after Cece's message arrives, another small blip! cuts its way through whatever conversations the Airlocked! survivors might be having. But it isn't happening in the space limo this time - it's on the Temerity proper. Some of you are more acquainted with the computer system here, so you should know what that sound means.

You have new Spitter messages!]

[The real question is actually, has Junpei ever even actually held a deadly weapon, despite being a detective and all.]

He has an invisible magic armory, I'm just saying.

[cyan_maid]

And I used to have an invisible inventory system with a specialized slot for weapons. That was mine. And nobody else was allowed to touch. It's...it's awkward to just...be like, you know..."Here, hold my flower", when your flower is actually a pointy stabbing object.

[daughterofthemark]

Dame Jane, you fight using a flower?

[arianna no]

[cyan_maid]

Oh - ah, no, it's just an expression. I used to use spoons, then forks...and now I use knives.

[daughterofthemark]

[Processing... processing...]

...because you are a chef?

[cyan_maid]

The spoon was because I'm a baker. The fork because...I'm an heiress. [The Champion Heiress. Hah.] And the knife because now I can be who I choose to be, no bullshit video game magical destiny required. And Light - Lightning - gave it to me. To remind me to survive.

[daughterofthemark]

You will have a chance to repay her.

[...you can kinda see how there's a theme there, though, right?]

[cyan_maid]

[She sees the theme. Arianna's getting like five dozen cookies later.]

...I hope so.

[daughterofthemark]

[COOKIES]

You will.

[cyan_maid]

[If that's a decree from the Champion Sovereign herself then who is Jane to doubt it]

[daughterofthemark]

[Force Boost: Victory Vow
For three turns, Order skills affect the entire party.]

[SIIIGGGHHH.]

Okay, fine, yeesh. You try to be helpful and make a practical suggestion...

[cyan_maid]

I'm not saying it isn't helpful, just...I know what it's like to feel bare without a weapon within immediate reach.

[misanthropicprinciple]

You fighter types really do live differently...

[cyan_maid]

It's kind of necessary when you're stuck in a video game, but it was a little silly on Earth.
