Week 3

[airlockedmods]

[Four people dead now - six, if you include the crew. Things have been a little rough on the Starfield Penitentiary this week. Blaze Dudely doesn't make a public reappearance during the weekend, so you've got a few days to yourselves to recover, though he's probably still sticking to his office hours if you really feel like going to see him. On Sunday morning, you may find that you're recovering a a few other things as well - both strange dreams and some new items.

In addition, there's a new set of doors at the end of the corridor, by that empty space where you'd been having your fight club. Looks like you've got a new wing to explore.]



Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

(( ooc: Don't forget to turn in your AC for Week 2, submit your memory regains, and put in your benefactor threads! ))

Uh... Sure?

[Very good dad friend who won't annoy you or make stupid dad jokes.]

[Leon walks over to retrieve the ball, goes back to where he was standing... Okay, maybe a foot closer to the hoop... And tries again.]

[The ball spins around the hoop a few times before going through! Confetti and horns included. This is just... Weird.]

Okay, I get the feeling it might be the hoop.

[tenimuho]

It doesn't do that with any other basketballs, though. Just this one.

[Oda doesn't know what to make of it.]

[toomanybaseballs]

[Leon gives Oda a look of pure disbelief.]

Prove it!

[tenimuho]

[Oda picks another basketball off the rack and throws it into the hoop.

No confetti, no victory horn.]

See?

[toomanybaseballs]

[....]

[He looks back at the confetti ball.]

...That is freaking weird.

[tenimuho]

I agree. Right now I can't explain it.

[Maybe if he pops the basketball it would reveal its methods... but then it wouldn't be fun anymore.]

[toomanybaseballs]

Me either...

[tenimuho]

Maybe someone would recognize it?

[toomanybaseballs]

Like, someone would recognize a basketball that makes noises and spits out confetti?

I don't think anyone on this ship would own something like that.

[tenimuho]

Why not, exactly? I'm just wondering.

[toomanybaseballs]

... Lemme put it to you this way. Do any of these people look like they could be on some weird basketball team?

[tenimuho]

Mako does.

[Well, that was easy.]

[toomanybaseballs]

... We could ask him about it.

[tenimuho]

Is there a good way to lead into that conversation? 'Do you have a bizarre basketball'?

[toomanybaseballs]

... Probably not. Maybe just put it with the other trading stuff.

[tenimuho]

It doesn't look any different from a normal basketball, though.

[toomanybaseballs]

... Hey, what would happen if we just leave it with the other basketballs?

[tenimuho]

Then someone would be very surprised the first time confetti popped out of it.

[toomanybaseballs]

... Let's do it.

[Harmless prank.]

[tenimuho]

Alright. I'll leave it here.

[Maybe they'll even get to see their reaction, if they're lucky.]
