week 2
[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

[Could you not.]

[ NOPE NOT STOPPING ]
After all, we're stuck here together for goodness knows how long. That means we're practically on the same footing!
[ No. They're not. Which she'll switch back to when they're done bickering for now, but right now this is hilarious. ]
no subject
Apollonia! What a cute name! Hmmm, we need a nickname for you though... Hmm... How about...Apollo!
She grits her teeth angrily, trying hard not to put her fist in that smug face.]
Don't you start saying things that aren't true. You don't even believe it yourself and everyone here knows it!
no subject
What do you me~aaan "I don't believe it"...? You already know how I feel about lies, Apollo-san! [ She holds a hand over her heart, aghast. ] I'm hurt, truly.
[ Aaaand that's about all of that that she can say with a straight face. Erika breaks into.... well, cackling laughter. ]
Don't be stuuuuu~pid! Of course we're not on the same footing! [ wow that's... a face, alright. ] But hey, if you give me an opening like tha~aaat, I might as well~! You react so nicely, after all.
no subject
[Apollo might have her armor now but her weapons are gone and even she knows picking up Erika right now would be a bad idea.]
no subject
[ For her part, she still looks completely unphased by Apollo's insults, or her armour ]
It's not my fault if you can't keep up.
no subject
[How about a punch to the face?! No, no. She doesn't punch Erika.]
You'll be one of the first.
no subject
[ She actually laughs now - while it's not the cackle from before, it's still not... pleasant to listen to. ]
Now now, Apollo-san, that could almost be taken as a threat. Adapting to our new lifestyle a little quick, aren't you...?
no subject
[She snorts, it echoes in her helmet.]
Besides: the best way to solve a problem is break through it.
no subject
[ Though she sounds a little surprised about it. ]
Mm, seeing what happens in the coming weeks will be interesting all the same. Who will be stupid enough to try first, I wonder.
[ And she tilts her head, staring directly at Apollo. ]
no subject
[Keep your enemies close?? Clearly Apollo was never as irritating as this girl. Surely.]
You look at me but I would look at that old drunk first.
no subject
Him? No, no, don't be ridiculous. [ She flicks a hand dismissively at Apollo. ] While I don't doubt he'll try making a break for it eventually, he seems too paranoid to strike first. Why waste your chance that fast?
no subject
[Isn't it obvious.] On the other hand, my point still stands even if he is paranoid. Someone might try to finish him and he strikes back, panics, and finishes the job. It wouldn't be unheard of.
no subject
But I will... partially concede the second point. [ For the first time in this conversation, Erika actually looks pained. It passes quickly, but +1 point for the Black Knight. ] He does look like one of the weakest present if you didn't see him during the attack. Separate him from Akande-san, and he's a tempting target.
no subject
[Hah. She's lucky that Apollo's face is covered by her helmet otherwise the small smirk would be present. Her voice, however, doesn't betray that.] If given a group and if the person was unscrupulous, they would look for easy targets. Children and the elderly. Getting him alone might be the troublesome part but someone could do it.
no subject
[ The pause here is not due to Erika not remembering something. It's due to how the fuck do we say Kiss-Shot's name out loud without sounding like an idiot. ]
... the self-proclaimed vampire. [ Nailed it. ] Out of those, Mozu-san might be the easiest to isolate and harm directly, but her profile does list hunting beasts as an interest.
no subject
[At least you're not Kiss-Shot's cellmate.]
Out of those four, I would say that vampire would be easier. She sleeps too much, anyone would be able to slip into our cell.
no subject
[ Just sayin'. ]
Mm, the two-person cell setup adds an extra layer of difficulty. Either you must kill both in a room [ or three, in cell 1 and 2's cases, but. a n y w a y. ] or find a way to account for the "spare". Or disregard the cells entirely - which would rule out the supposed vampire again.
no subject
[Hey, she dislikes CT but she exists too.]
The vampire still would be a good target. She has slept while the agent and I have been out. As I said, she's quite lazy.
no subject
She's lucky that she only sleeps in her cell, then. I doubt the punishment for rule 3 would be as gentle as a thwack with a broom under our new management.
(no subject)
slithers in here?
[ Because, y'know. He's seen a totem pole made of humans. There really isn't a rule to crime, other than someone usually gets screwed over. And he's fairly happy assuming any rule book to the situation they're in right now got thrown out around the time they got attacked by pirate robots. ]
no subject
It takes Erika's face a second or two to reconfigure from "absolute troll shitlord" to "talking to normal people", but she manages it. ]
The rules of the mystery genre, of course. What other rules would there be for a situation like this?
[ And that's said with a completely straight face. ]
no subject
The mystery genre?
We're not in a novel. This is actually happening, in case you've missed a few things.
no subject
Just because it's "actually happening", as you put it, doesn't mean that regular genre conventions can't apply. I've seen nothing to disprove it so far.
[ Also wow stop profiling her, gosh. ]
no subject
[Genres and novels are meant to sell a fiction, and logic is sometimes damned along the way?]
