week 4

[airlockedmods]

[Four weeks in the Starfield Penitentiary and seven people have lost their lives to Blaze Dudely's cruel game. At some point the robots cleaned up the mess left behind and by Sunday the involved rooms (including the fridge) are all clean and free of blood. In fact there's no sign left of any of the deaths that have happened on the ship so far by at least the next day. The only physical signs that people are gone are the empty beds.

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, in the space between the infirmary and the exercise yard. 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 3, submit your memory regains, and put in your benefactor threads! ))

[ Whoa. ]

... Whoa. [ Yeah. ] There's no reason? You can just do it?

[ What the heckie. ]

[helladoptera]

I... I saw Chloe get shot, and I raised my right hand, and...

[ She demonstrates, then frowns when the headache hits since she accidentally... focused hard enough to try it. ]

I was back in class before anything happened. And I was able to save her. But then...

[ She looks down. ]

Something happened. A lot of things. Mister Jefferson did something bad, but I don't know what, and I... I think I somehow broke time.

[nightcure]

[ ... oh god. Noctis frowns. It's one thing to figure out you can just time travel. It's another to see your best friend get shot.

It makes him angry, because Max is obviously upset. ]

You were that desperate to help? [ he.... kinda knows the feeling. ] ... I'm sorry, Max.

[helladoptera]

[ She nods. ]

I... a lot of things happened. I don't understand a lot of them, but... all of reality got fucked up, like a nightmare but I wasn't asleep, I ran into another version of me, and... I'm missing more things, I know I am.

[ She deflates a little, and sighs. ]

Like I said. Weird.

[nightcure]

... Hey. We'll fill in the blanks together.

[ like, why does ardyn keep fucking with him? he doesn't know and he can't begin to explain why. ]

Confusing and weird as things are, at least we've got each other.

[ ... ]

This Jefferson guy sounds like an ass.

[helladoptera]

I... he always seemed like a nice teacher, I don't get it. But then he was... when things started breaking, he was talking about "the dark room" and... and killing Chloe. Or something like that. It didn't make any sense.

[ She sighs. ]

Guess we both have assholes to deal with.

[nightcure]

... Yeah. Sometimes people don't show their true colors until your guard's down.

[ who the fuck is this jefferson guy exactly. he wants to kick his ass. ]

Did he hurt you? Or Chloe?

[helladoptera]

Not... that I remember. But I know he did something that... something hella awful.

[ whatmakesyouhaha.mp3 ]

[nightcure]

We don't have to talk about that guy anymore.

[ he ruffles her hair a little bit. ]

Not if it's upsetting you.

[helladoptera]

[ She nods. ]

Talking about something else sounds good. It would probably help both of us, huh?

[nightcure]

Yeah, by a longshot. [ he pauses, thinking. judging from the way max talked... ] What's Chloe like?

[helladoptera]

Chloe?

[ Thinking about Chloe pretty much instantly gets Max to smile, because of course it does. It's not a grin or anything, considering the circumstances, but it's there. ]

She's... super cool. Her hair's dyed blue, she's totally punk rock, and... God I missed her when I was away.

[nightcure]

[ that's what he likes to see. ]

You must've been separated for a while. Bet she was as glad to see you as you were to see her.

[helladoptera]

Eh, she was mad. And she had every right to be. I was kind of a mega jerk, when my family moved away. But... before we knew it things were just like old times. Just with more... time travel, and some vandalism.

[nightcure]

That's the best thing about best friends. Even when things get bad, they still stick around.

[ he grins a little. tiny bit. ]

Vandalism, huh? Is that, uh... "destruction of government property"?

[helladoptera]

Nope, uh... still don't know where that one came from. We were in a junkyard.

[nightcure]

Junkyard, huh. Bet there was a lot of stuff to mess up.

[helladoptera]

Haha... yep, you can say that again. Old cars and all that stuff. You can "rage," as Chloe might say.

[nightcure]

Honestly, I could go for some raging right now.

[helladoptera]

Same here, but we don't exactly have a good space for it. Lots of chill zones, no rage spaces.

[nightcure]

Maybe if we wish really hard, we'll get a junkyard of our own.

[helladoptera]

Maybe. Or at least a car to beat up with sticks or something.

[nightcure]

Or just anything to beat up with sticks at this point.

[helladoptera]

True. Chilling out with music's been working, but even I could use a good beating-up-something-inanimate session.

[nightcure]

There's stuff in one of the rooms we got next week where we can make stuff to smash, if that works.
