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

[Oda deals three cards.]

Past: Four of Pentacles. Trying to control something or block change.

Present: Queen of Pentacles. A person who is nurturing, bighearted, and down-to-earth.

Future: Five of Swords. Acting in your own self-interest, being in a hostile environment.

Well... I can't speak for your past, but you are definitely a bighearted person from what I've seen. Remember to take time for yourself too, especially if things get even more rough.

[andneversaydie]

Oh, well, okay. That... future one honestly seems pretty accurate, I guess, especially that last one. Not really sure about the past one, though.

[tenimuho]

One out of three isn't that bad, I think. Since I don't have any experience with this.

[andneversaydie]

... Well, I mean, if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have guessed. So there's that.

[tenimuho]

I'm not sure if I'd pick it up as a serious hobby. But it passes the time.

[Lets him think about something besides that motive.]

[andneversaydie]

Well, at the end of the day, that's all you need sometimes, isn't it? It's a fun distraction.

[tenimuho]

It's a distraction that doesn't hurt anyone. I couldn't ask for anything more than that.

[andneversaydie]

...yeah, we could all use something like that right about now.

[She sighs pretty hard.]

If only it could distract everyone.

[tenimuho]

...It's hard to distract people from a threat like the one we were given.

[Some of them are fine with it. But...]

[andneversaydie]

...yeah, I know.

Did... everything look alright in yours? Like... nothing had happened yet?

[tenimuho]

The same as it always does. It looked perfectly fine.

[For the moment.]

[andneversaydie]

...oh.

Well, that's good to hear! I mean, I'm glad your kids sound like they're alright.

[tenimuho]

I'm glad too, but... They don't deserve to be caught up in this.

[He won't argue his own case, but his kids are innocents.]

[andneversaydie]

No, they don't. Honestly, I don't think anyone here does, either, but...

[sigh...]

Maybe he's just bluffing.

[tenimuho]

I would like to hope that. But I wouldn't like to bet my children's lives on it.

[What to do...]

[andneversaydie]

...I mean, do you have anyone who'd be looking after 'em for you? Who... actually has weapons and stuff? I know your job is kinda bad, but...

[tenimuho]

Uncle looks after them, but he's a restaurant owner, not a fighter. Besides that, not many people even know where they are.

[andneversaydie]

Oh, no... Well, geez, maybe something will come through?

[tenimuho]

I hope so.

[Because there's not much else he can do, besides hope.]

[andneversaydie]

Yeah, I hope so too. I just want everyone to get out of this okay...

[tenimuho]

...If it's possible, I don't want anyone else to die.

[But he's not sure if that will happen.]

[andneversaydie]

Yeah, me either. It'd be nice if that'd happen.

[tenimuho]

I'll hope for it, but...

[That's no guarantee.]

[andneversaydie]

Yeah. That's all we can do, I guess...

wrapup this one?

[tenimuho]

Unfortunately, I don't see what else we can do right now.
