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.]

[ SWEET, PRECIOUS PENNY ]

It is one hundred percent a pleasure to meet you too, Penny. You got kidnapped too?

[in4apounding]

I-i-i-i think so? I definitely don't remember coming here on my own, and I'm certain my father wouldn't do something like this without telling me first.

[Um, probably. SHE'S certain, anyway.]

[lmafo]

Then yep, that smells like kidnapping! To my specially-trained crime-smellin nose, anyway.

[in4apounding]

Are you a detective? That's sensational, especially for someone so young!

[lmafo]

Dear sweet Penny, has anyone ever told you that you're adorable? 'cause you are.

[ She shakes her head. ]

But nah, I was just makin a joke. That's how I do, vis a vis jokes. I make em.

[in4apounding]

Oh my gosh, thank you! No, no one's EVER said that to me!

[Roxy you're gonna make her blush. Or you would be if that were a thing she was capable of.]

[lmafo]

That's a crime! Not an actual crime, before you go all literal on it, but you totes are! What's a girl like you doin in a place like this, honestly, these kidnappers suck.

[in4apounding]

I think most kidnappers suck just by being kidnappers, don't you think? ...Unless maybe they were kidnapping someone away from bad people, but that would make it more of a rescue than a kidnapping, I think.

[lmafo]

Tru tru, Penny, but at least you're handling it well! And who knows, maybe someone else will kidnap us away from here, too, in a rescue-type way.

[in4apounding]

Thank you, you're handling it very well too!

[Telling jokes and isn't afraid of anything.]

And- my father and Mister Ironwood will definitely be looking for me, but I don't think they'll be able to get into space.

[lmafo]

Hey, you never know, if you push hard enough you can get to space eventually, usually.

[in4apounding]

Mister Ironwood CAN be very determined, it's true.

[That's. Certainly a word one could use.]

It's definitely possible! But I'm still going to do as much as I can to help us all get out on our own.

[lmafo]

[ end of v3 flashbacks ]

I mean the dude's name is Ironwood, he better be, that's incredible. But oh yeah for sure we all need to be trying to get out of here on our own.

[in4apounding]

[what did something happen at the end of v3]

He wouldn't have become head of the Atlesian Military if he wasn't! ...Determined, I mean, not named Ironwood. Familial connections can certainly help, but he didn't need them!

[lmafo]

[ ironwood took out his gun gun and saved everyone ]

Daaaamn, he must be one rad buff dude.

[in4apounding]

[Don't give the mods ideas, Gungans are the last thing we need.]

He is very strong. ...Hee, and I guess you could call him "rad"! He runs Atlas' Huntsmen academy in addition to the military, and he's always been very kind to me.

[lmafo]

No shit?

[ ... don't ask her this, Roxy, don't do it- ]

... what does he look like?

[in4apounding]

Hm- he's very tall, and muscular-

[She traces a vaguely Dorito-shaped, Captain America type torso in the air with one finger.]

Sort of a square jaw, I guess? Blue eyes, very dark hair, but it's turning gray around the temples, and he's almost always in uniform. And he usually wears a glove over his right hand.

[lmafo]

... so he's hot. Fuckin called it, if your name is Ironwood you're either hot or super old.

[in4apounding]

He- what?

[Penny.exe has encountered an error.]

No, that- I don't- no- ...Maybe? I've never thought of him that way. Ever.

[That's like her second dad yo]

[lmafo]

Dear sweet Penny I don't need you to agree with me, I just had to know, and now I do. He's some kinda dadly type to you, right?

[in4apounding]

Oh- okay, that. Um. I don't think I'd call him that? He's technically my commanding officer, and teacher. But he HAS been very kind to me.

[That's a yes.]
