Welcome to the Program

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.]

Oh, it's...Champion Portrait Artist! Me and Jamie are gonna duel later to see who gets the be the Ultimate Art Champion. But I dunno - it's nice, I guess, but I'm not famous or anything.
keepmeinyourheart: (♫ And it's breaking over me)

[personal profile] keepmeinyourheart 2017-10-17 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
You must still be rather skilled to receive that title. I have not met this Jamie yet, but if he has a similar title, I wager it will be a difficult fight. Is he also a portrait artist?
theundertaken: (late)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-17 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
He's the Landscape Artist. So it's kinda a different subject matter. I wanna see his work, actually...

So what's yours?
keepmeinyourheart: (♪ No need to pray)

[personal profile] keepmeinyourheart 2017-10-17 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
So we have two exceptional artist among our ranks. I hope you can fill these dreary halls if given the material.

I am the Champion Oracle.
theundertaken: (out of misery)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-17 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
There's a whole art room, looks like. Haven't really checked it out much, considering...like, all of this.

Do you tell the future?
keepmeinyourheart: (♪ A thousand miles)

[personal profile] keepmeinyourheart 2017-10-17 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
After the meeting, should it prove fruitful, it would be worth taking a look around.

No. I keep the world from falling into darkness.
theundertaken: (buried)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-17 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
....how's that work?
keepmeinyourheart: (♫ Is rushing out of me)

[personal profile] keepmeinyourheart 2017-10-17 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I commune with the Astrals, the gods of my world, and they have granted me a power that makes it possible for me to keep the darkness at bay.
theundertaken: (in extremis)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-18 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
........well, shit, that sounds hard.
keepmeinyourheart: (♪ In the arms of the ocean)

[personal profile] keepmeinyourheart 2017-10-18 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
It is far more difficult than what most people believe, but rest assured, I am more than capable of fulfilling this duty.

[Her body is just... not in the greatest shape. But no need to say that out loud.]
theundertaken: (no more)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-18 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...yeah, no, sure! [He didn't mean to imply she wasn't!] I mean...geez, that's a really big job.
keepmeinyourheart: (♬ In the arms of the ocean)

[personal profile] keepmeinyourheart 2017-10-18 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[He gets a smile that seems a little more forced than genuine.] It is not something just anyone can do, since the last of the Oracles run in the bloodline of my family. I am proud to be the Oracle of Eos since I can keep my people safe.

[........]

So, hey, I bet you've never had astronaut food?
keepmeinyourheart: (♪ You cannot breath)

[personal profile] keepmeinyourheart 2017-10-18 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[What]

What is an astronaut and why do they have their own food?
theundertaken: (dead)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-18 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
They're people who go up in space! They can't just pack regular food - it's gotta all be able to survive the trip, and they want it light, so it's just freeze-dried little packets of stuff.

Soooo, let's go find astronaut ice cream. [you fucking seem like you need some]
keepmeinyourheart: (♪ Oh it's breaking over me)

[personal profile] keepmeinyourheart 2017-10-18 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[That's all actually really fascinating, and when they get out of here, she'll have to tell the scientists in her kingdom about astronauts.]

I can't imagine what freeze-dried ice cream would be like, but I trust you. Lead the way if you know where we can find some.
theundertaken: (asleep)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-18 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Kitchen, maybe? I dunno. We should probably eat something anyway, as long as we’re being fed here.

[Leading the way!]
keepmeinyourheart: (♪ No need to pray)

[personal profile] keepmeinyourheart 2017-10-18 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
That is a good idea. We must do what we can to take care of ourselves.
theundertaken: (buried)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-19 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yeeeeeah. Here...

[Cabinets!] I’ve, uh, I’ve never seen this much space food before.
keepmeinyourheart: (♪ Reflections still look the same to me)

[personal profile] keepmeinyourheart 2017-10-19 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[That... is a lot.] Do they think to only sustain on us this food? These look close to military rations.
theundertaken: (perished)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-19 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Wouldn’t be surprised. It’d be hard to keep us supplied with fresh food, probably. Oh, shit -

[ASTRONAUT ICE CREEEEEAM here you go Luna]
keepmeinyourheart: (♫ I'm just giving in)

[personal profile] keepmeinyourheart 2017-10-19 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Are they not able to garden in space?

[Okay, she'll hold off on wanting an answer as she looks at the packaging. It's a little intimidating since it's wrapped in some kind of foil. But she'll be brave and open the package, marveling at the fact that this is literally dry ice cream.

So she takes a small chunk out and puts it in her mouth. It was rather dry... not a texture she's used to. Letting it soften and melt in her mouth before chewing seems like the wise idea.]


It is certainly..... unique. Like nothing I have ever tasted back home.
theundertaken: (inert)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-20 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Not at home they aren't. But one of our space stations wouldn't have gravity either - we'd all just be floating around. So who knows.

[Max, for his part, just rips his own ice cream package open and bites into the bar.]

Yeah, right? It's not as good as real ice cream, but it's a fun little novelty thing. They sell it at museums and stuff.
keepmeinyourheart: (♪ And all this devotion)

[personal profile] keepmeinyourheart 2017-10-20 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Space travel seems complicated...

[At least it tastes good enough to where she keeps eating it.]

I wonder if Prompto would like this. He's from my own world and here on the station with us.
theundertaken: (decaying)

[personal profile] theundertaken 2017-10-20 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, shit, you know him? I met Prompto, he's cool!
