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.]

What are you talking about? I'm a figure skater, not a hunter or whatever. Have you been living under a rock?

[ i am so sorry penny ]

Penny, huh. Yuri.

[in4apounding]

No, I've been living at Atlas Academy.

[That's a yes.]

Ooooh, that would definitely explain it. And that's okay! Not everyone can be good at fighting.

[quadjumps]

...No idea where that is.

What does fighting have to do with being a hunter?

[in4apounding]

Wait, really? ...do you live under a rock? Is that common where you're from?

[Actually a genuine question, going by her tone.]

And it would be pretty hard to handle the Grimm without fighting them. I suppose there are some you could kill in one shot, but you couldn't count on it.

[quadjumps]

What are you talking about?

[ now he's getting all condescending again. ]

Grimm? What the hell's a Grimm?

[in4apounding]

...you've. Never heard of the Grimm.

[dot dot dot]

How? Where do you live?

[quadjumps]

On earth? In Russia?

[ ? ? ? ? ? ]

[in4apounding]

...I've never heard of either of those places. What part of Remnant are thry in?

[quadjumps]

Stop fucking with me. I have no idea what a Remnant is or whatever. This is Russia.

[in4apounding]

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

[quadjumps]

Haven't you heard of planet earth? Were you hit on the head when you got here?

[in4apounding]

No, I haven't!

[Wait.]

...Are you from another planet? And no I didn't hit my head!

[quadjumps]

So you're saying you're some kind of alien?

[ what the fuck ]

An alien who looks like a human.

[in4apounding]

What- no, I don't just look- of course I'm human!

[hic]

[She sounds offended, really. Maybe just a little scared?]

Anyway, if YOU'RE from another planet, that make YOU the alien!

[quadjumps]

Haaah?!

[ THIS IS A DISASTER ]

You're crazy! Planet earth's the only planet humans come from, dumbass!

[in4apounding]

There's humans on Remnant, so if Earth is a different planet that's not true!

[quadjumps]

You're delusional! Go get your head checked or something. I don't have time for this.

[ and he's...walking away...rip ]

[in4apounding]

What? I'm- not- ...Well I don't have time for YOU, so there!

[And. Walking away? That could've gone worse.]
