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.]

[chides]

...Yeah. Like yours, for instance. Champion Stalker?

[ SORRY he's going to bring it up again. ]

It'll be something to keep in mind. And as much as I'd like to make a better correlation between how you took down your mastermind and Blaze, I don't think it's gonna be that simple.

[induality]

Guh. [YOU HAD TO, DIDN'T YOU?] It's still better than "Champion Slayer of Oddities, Aberrations, Apparitions, Monsters, Youkai, Ghouls, Ghosts, and Demons".

[it's the only thing that's more of a mouthful than that thing's name.]

The best thing to take from it I suppose is that we're going to have to get to know him, m-much as we dislike it. The more we know about him the b-better prepared we'll be...

[chides]

Yeah. That's...that's an interesting one.

[ what the fuck were they thinking when they made that one--

the more we know about him.

that gives mako an idea. ]

...Touko? I think you may be onto something. If we can get to know both Blaze and The Counselor, maybe we'll be able to figure out their motives. And...maybe it'll bring us closer to stopping them.

[induality]

...I actually have some business with Blaze Dudely myself.

[god fuck if she doesn't feel dumber just saying that name]

Something related to Hope's Peak showed up here and I wanted to ask him about it. So I guess now's as good a time as any...

[chides]

Then I'll talk to The Counselor this week. I'll let you know what happens as soon as I can

[ he is so happy he doesn't need to say that name it's so???

...but before their conversation can end, mako has to say one thing: ]

I appreciate it. All of this.

[induality]

...if you want to get closer to him you m-might want to start by using his real name.

[he has one of those. you know. just a suggestion.]

It's far more tolerable than Blaze Dudely.

[G U H.]

[chides]

....Right. That was... Dr. Price, right?

[ why he's called a doctor, mako has no idea, but if that's what he wants then fine. mako will roll with it. ]

Blaze Dudely...what kind of name is that?

[induality]

Yes. Dr. Aiden Price.

[it's such a nice name compared to--]

Ugh. Who knows. He probably changed his name. It sounds like something a cocky space pirate would do.

[chides]

...Why is he called "Doctor" Price? He's not a doctor, is he?

[ what is college, even ]

Yeah. That sounds like an appropriate name for a space pirate. Something...kind of jerk-ish.

[induality]

I assume it means he has a Ph. D in psychology or some other mental science. B-basically it gives him the right to analyze other people's mental conditions.

[assuming they believe everything on his profile and all.]

...not the kind of person you'd expect to have p-personal connections to a space pirate...

[which makes the idea of a previous connection between the two highly suspect.]

[chides]

A...what?

[ well that second part makes sense but what is a Ph. D ]

I'm definitely gonna ask him about that. It seems like they knew each other from before, right? I don't think they said how, but it sounded like Dr. Price and Blaze did something like this before.

[induality]

It's... something you get for completing a certain level of training. It's sort of like... proof that you're a professional in an area.

[SCHOOL STUFF.]

Yes... I d-don't know if they're friends or enemies but th-that Dr. Price... I think he's not telling us everything either.

[chides]

Oh. So...does that mean you're a Ph. D Author?

[ #NAILEDIT ]

No, he's not. And he probably won't. But we have to try.

[induality]

[.....definitely.]

It's m-mostly for teachers, researchers, scientists... [but now that he's brought it up she has to know.] Just what kind of education system do you have where you live?

[she shakes her head.]

If he really is as c-cowardly as he seems, it may just be a matter of convincing him that s-siding with us is the better choice. Prone to self preservation as he is...

[chides]

Not one like yours, that's for sure. I learned everything from my parents.

[ i honestly have no idea what schools are like in the avatar verse, bear with me here!!!! ]

I don't know... Dr. Price seems like he's hiding a lot. I don't wanna risk him double-crossing us.
