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.]

Ya got that look about you. 'Ooooh, I'm quiet and mysterious and smell like I just bathed in a coffee pot, I'm just a simple shopkeeper, don't mind me.'

[ despite what she's saying, she doesn't say it derisively. Instead she sounds a little...impressed? ]

[le_mat]

I'm a little young to own a shop. But otherwise you're on the nose.

[lovecolored]

Eh, whatcha talkin' about? I run my own and we're only a year apart.

[ ... ]

Oh, and there's a friend of mine who takes over her family's shop a lot...I think she's like, thirteen?

[ bless kosuzu's heart ]

[le_mat]

Already have my age at hand? And I'm supposed to be the sneaky one?

... I do help at my guardian's shop though, to be fair.

[lovecolored]

I looked through the profile thingies. It's all right there.

[ hey now she never she said she wasn't also a sneak. ]

Oh? Whatcha sell?

[le_mat]

It's a cafe. So mostly coffee. Food too.

[lovecolored]

That would explain the special cologne, then.

[ he literally bathes in coffee, this is her unshakable assumption now

She points to her PIP, and grins a little. ]

"Student, Phantom Thief, formerly incarcerated"...ya get into trouble a lot, huh?

[le_mat]

[He groans a little. So far no one had called him on the profile]

Being a Phantom Thief loses it's aesthetic charm if it's public. I dunno about the last bit though: I've never been officially behind bars- just probation.

[lovecolored]

A phantom thief? Like, one'a those guys in in top hats and fancy capes who steal gems and expensive paintings, but are really charmin' about it like, 'sorry milday, but I'll be makin' off with your fortune now!'

[ she has much to learn, she's just a glorified burglar. smh. ]

[le_mat]

[he adjusts his glasses, making them sheen]

That'd be telling.

[lovecolored]

[ YOUR SHIFTINESS JUST MAKES HER MORE CURIOUS ]

Would it, now. I guess I'll have to do some sneaking of my own.

[le_mat]

I accept your challenge, then.

[lovecolored]

Uhuhuhuhu. Yer gonna regret sayin' that, pretty boy.

[ in essence, he has just invited her to waltz into his room and look at his stuff. there might not be anything good there on day one BUT THERE WILL EVENTUALLY, AND WHEN THERE IS, SHE'S GONNA (TRY TO) STICK HER NOSE RIGHT IN IT ]

I never lose.

[ except that one time in Imperishable Night but let's not talk about it ]

[le_mat]

[He grins, pure deviousness and cockiness, tugging at the sleeve of his jumpsuit since his gloves were missing]

Neither do I.

[lovecolored]

[ GAME ON

She doesn't say anything verbally, but she does flick a single candy star bullet at him. Easy to dodge. ]
