week 2

[airlockedmods]

[With the sudden pirate takeover and the sudden, tragic deaths of the crew, the second week of the Starfield Penitentiary rehabilitation project is off to a rough start. After Price's call for parlay with the pirate captain, he was not seen for the remainder of Saturday but around 10 pm it is his calm but tense voice that makes the time announcement.

Buckle in, Champions, things are about to get bumpy.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

[nightcure]

Doing alright.

[ Nevermind that he still has no idea about Insomnia. No idea if Luna's alright. No idea if the guys are safe, and they're probably worried to hell and back about him. ]

Kinda more worried about everyone else, though.

[chides]

[ like noctis, mako's had his friends on his mind the entire week. bolin, korra, asami. also, lin's definitely gonna kill him when he gets back. that'll be a thing. ]

Some people are taking it really hard.

[nightcure]

I don't blame them.

[ He wonders how many people have seen death. ]

Best we can do is just be there for them.

[chides]

Yeah.

[ not to mention how shaken up he is, but...mako's bad with emotions. he doesn't know how to really express how jarring that was for him. ]

I almost wanted to reconvene with everyone today, but I figured it'd be too soon.

[nightcure]

Good call.

[ Usually he just wants to sleep, and that much is true here. But it's a different sort of exhaustion. He imagines the others are in the same way. ]

Maybe tomorrow, and give them the option to come talk. Have some tea, too.

[chides]

Yeah. We...definitely need to talk about what that guy said. Rule number seven.

[ which mako is still in disbelief at; he wishes he could say he doubts anyone would act on it, but he just can't be sure.

he doesn't trust a lot of people here. ]

I got tea packets at my cell, too. More than enough for everyone.

[nightcure]

... Yeah.

[ He pauses, frowning deeply. ]

Do you believe it?

[chides]

It's too early to say. But...I don't doubt that at least someone would act on it.

That much I'm sure of.

[nightcure]

Yeah.

[ There are some he doubts would act on it. But there are also some he's sure would. It's too early to say for sure, but he's not letting his guard down. ]

Much of an ass as Doc is, he didn't add any stupid rule like that. Spikes is bad news.

[chides]

Spikes...right.

[ blaze. got it. ]

The most we can do is talk to the others about why following Rule Seven is a bad idea. There's no proof that they'd even let the "winner" go back home. I wouldn't give them that much credit.

[nightcure]

Even then it's not guaranteed.

[ He shrugs. ]

If there's hope, some people'll latch onto it hard as they can.

[chides]

Yeah.

[ what he said...reminds him of something korra would say. ]

If it's any consolation, I'm not giving in to some stupid rule. I don't think you will, either.

[nightcure]

[ He shakes his head. ]

I don't want to kill anyone here. Especially not for some jackass space pirate's sick pleasure.

[chides]

Good. You...never seemed like the kind of person who would.

[nightcure]

Thanks. [ He pauses. Mako's been pretty levelheaded this whole time. ] Neither do you.

[ ... ]

I wanted to... thank you, by the way, for having my back yesterday.

[chides]

[ aside from yesterday when he almost charged at guy fieri but yeah, otherwise, levelheaded. ]

You just looked like you were having a bit of trouble. You don't have to thank me.

[nightcure]

[ He shrugs. ]

I don't want anyone to think I take them for granted, that's all.

[ Then again, he's always been like that. Just because he's the pr-- king doesn't mean he forgets what's important. ]

And in all that craziness, I didn't just expect anyone to back me up.

[chides]

Oh. Well...I...appreciate it.

[ how do we accept compliments? we just don't know. ]

No, I'm sure someone would've at one point or another. Just happened that I got there first.
