Welcome to the Program

[airlockedmods]

Good Morning, Champions. In the interest of maintaining healthy sleep patterns, a day/night cycle is in effect. Your presence is expected in the cafeteria in exactly one hour.

[The voice comes through not a large speaker, but through the device that's attached to each Champion's arm. Further investigation of the features of the device will reveal a list of profiles, a mini-map, and a list of rules. The hallways are shiny white and silver, with running lights along the floor and lights on the ceiling, and at the junction of the hallways is a sign with a knife and fork icon and an arrow pointing down the hall.

Welcome to the Excellence Program, Champions. Time to get to know your teammates.]

No shit? He just told me Lunafreya talks to them, what the fuck, boy's holdin out on his good pal Rolal.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

[yup. Osomatsu has not dehanded her yet.]

Yeah, that would really not help the situation. Hopefully everyone has that same attitude.

[Zombina shakes her head. Worries for later.]

Aaaanyway, right back atcha' Penny-chan! Let's do our best to get along and get outta here, alright?

[keepmeinyourheart]

[She gives his shoulder a soft squeeze, her face for a small moment dropping her usual dignified expression to reveal worry and fear. It passes as she takes a deep breath.]

As hard as it is to hear it, sometimes all we can do is wait. What we do while we wait can make a difference if only in passing the time more quickly.

[photoshooter]

Heh! My friends say I can't drive, but I can totally drive. Anyway, let's see here.

[He glances at her PIP, then fiddles with that little dial thingie on the side and hey presto, map.]

There we go! [He points.] 'You are here,' et cetera.

[lmafo]

Eh, second kidnapping in like a day, what're you gonna do?

[quadjumps]

I don't want to wait.

Not when I could die here.

[ he's being selfish again, but... ]

[lovecolored]

[ scroll, scroll....

(she is really struggling to not laugh right now, ~WITCH OF LOVE~ or not) ]

Haven't found that lucky person yet?

[photoshooter]

What--who cares about that?

[He points accusingly at Yuri's PIP.]

I'm not from Niflheim!

[karappo]

Oh, I am from Japan! So perhaps that is why...

And yes, we do! I am Karamatsu, my other brother with me here is Osomatsu...and then there is Choromatsu, Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu, and Todomatsu.

[He counts off on his fingers, then holds six up.]

Six of us total!

[lmafo]

Yknow. Powers to make myself more sneakylike. Don't need no cardboard box when you're already hard to notice.

[lovecolored]

[ she curtsies. it looks absolutely nothing like a proper one. ]

Ooooh, an heir. D'ya live in a fancy mansion? Know how to play the pipe organ?

[ her only experience with European nobles is Remilia "10-Year-Old Female Lestat" Scarlet ]

[in4apounding]

Remnant is the planet...? And there's no need to be rude just because you're not very good at geography.

[kebakeba]

[ She takes a quick look over of Yuri and mentally huhs. Well, he does look kinda dainty like a figure skater... ]

So you're gonna become, like, a pro-pro? [ what is sports she doesn't know ]

[hellahighwater]

...That sounds like one hella cool tattoo! Holy shit!

[keepmeinyourheart]

[She almost laughs at that. Almost. Instead, her voice drops down low.]

I know how difficult it is to wait. [She's been waiting to see Noctis for twelve long years, and now she knows not when she'll see him again.] It is torture. But will you let it defeat you and make you act rashly?

[photoshooter]

[Prompto goes along with him, the most at ease he's been since he got here.]

I dunno, I haven't looked. What does space food even entail?

[karappo]

Eh? Oh, well- of course I am!

[Karamatsu huffs a laugh, lifting a hand to play with his bangs.]

Forgive me, I have just never met ah....someone with detachable limbs before.

[keepmeinyourheart]

[....] Hella? I don't believe that is a word I've ever heard before.

[batfortheprincess]

I-- wait, then... are you from Mars?

[He's pretty sure most people there know about Earth but???]

[photoshooter]

Oh. Y-yeah, something like that.

[His life is kind of like that. Minus the kidnapping. And the fun.]

But yeah, I'm not... I'm not anyone important. Or interesting! I wouldn't be any fun to hunt at all.

[karappo]

[Wow listen.]

Not yet. But I will, soon.

[lovecolored]

[ And then she finds it.

It is literally taking every ounce of willpower to not lose her shit at...basically everything on his profile but wow that title in particular. ]

Oh, well, good luck with that...be sure to invite me to the wedding, I'll do your decorations for a very reasonable price, ze....

[lmafo]

Hella hella short, yeah.

[ SOMEONE ELSE WHO USES HELLA, FUCK YEAH ]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Eh, s'not that big a deal.

[She shrugs and rubs her neck.]

Your reaction is honestly like... one of the most low-key ones I've gotten so far.

[Normally she'd be a little disappointed, but that concern shown is more than novel enough to make up for it.]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Tell us why we're here hopefully, and not like, start shooting at us. Which would be totally unfair, as they've taken all 11 of my guns.

[Pause.]

If a fight or something does break out, then just hide behind me or something. A few bullets aren't gonna do anything but add to my weight.
