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.]

Great. Gotcha...

[ Similarly. ]

Roxy. God, this is so fucked up, like a shitastic name chart at killtergarten.

[lmafo]

Pffffhaha. Killtergarten. Yes, it is exactly that thing, Chloe. One hundred fucking percent.

[ She meant that genuinely. ]

Complete with everyone getting a special title, I guess.

[hellahighwater]

[ ...You laughed at her shitty joke.
+50 Approval ]

Yeah... Ha, yeah, have you seen some of these things? Like those...Matsuno guys, what a compliment. And- ...what the fuck is a bunch of blank spaces supposed to mean?

[ She found Roxy's title! ]

[lmafo]

It's nothing! Like... literally, "Champion of Nothing." idk why that's my title, since I don't know what exactly to do with my void thing, but here I am.

[hellahighwater]

Void...thing... Okay, what're you actually high on?

[lmafo]

Nothing! I'm totes clean, promise. It's uh. You know where in the movies the guy just says "it's complicated?" It's complicated.

[hellahighwater]

...Oh, yeah, no, I definitely know that, my life's a big stack of "it's complicated" topped with "don't go there" sauce right now. Is it sci-fi bullshit? All you gotta say is sci-fi bullshit.

[lmafo]

I do know sci-fi bullshit.

[ Hm... ]

So who's Max Caulfield, huh?

[ That's absolutely a teasing tone of voice, why cant i gagtag myself in shame ]

[hellahighwater]

[ .......Well there's the million dollar question, huh? ]

She's my best friend. I'm like...her sidekick, so that's probably...what that is.

[lmafo]

Sidekick, huh? Alright, alright, legit. I respect having a bff you could be the champion of so hard people notice it in space.

[hellahighwater]

...If there's any hella fucking stupid designation I had to get, I guess there could be worse ones.

[lmafo]

Better than the poor twin dudes.

[hellahighwater]

...Yeah, they got the hella short end of the stick.

[lmafo]

Hella hella short, yeah.

[ SOMEONE ELSE WHO USES HELLA, FUCK YEAH ]

[hellahighwater]

Ohhh thank god, someone I don't have to explain that word to.

[lmafo]

Nope! I'm the only person I know back home who uses it, sweet to meet another hella hella-slingin chick.

[hellahighwater]

Hella sweet. No one's got appreciation for the classics anymore.

[lmafo]

Honestly! My friends and I are all pretty different on the slang charts tho, so it makes some sense.

[hellahighwater]

Are some of them hipsters? Is that what's happening there?

[lmafo]

[ Roxy Lalonde takes a good long think on whether or not Dirk Strider (or Jake English) is a hipster. ]

Nnno? We just come from hella different places, I think.

[hellahighwater]

Oh. Well, okay, just had to ask. Never know who's got that particular infection.

[lmafo]

I getcha, I getcha. Different places just have way different slang types, I guess.

[hellahighwater]

Did you like...all grow up somewhere different?

[lmafo]

Yup. Internet friends, yo.

[hellahighwater]

Oh. Oh, that's entirely not what I was imagining, excuse me.
