won't you take me to flavortown

[At the end of that one hour (that seemed so much longer than just one hour could be), hopefully everyone's gathered in the cafeteria. The doors to the other side of the space station open to reveal two figures, a man and a woman. The woman is dressed in sharp business clothes, tapping away on some kind of a device that looks similar to but sleeker than a smart phone. The man with her has a circle beard and bleached blond hair, shorter but thick with muscle, wearing a checked button-up shirt with a gold chain peeking through the collar and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He scratches at his non-dominant forearm (which, nonetheless, is bare).]

Welcome, Champions, to the...

Champion Excellence Program.

Yeah, the Champion Excellence Program. As you may have noticed reading the rules, there's only one way out of here: Rule 7. But just in case going home isn't enough for you, we've decided to add an extra incentive.

[The woman barely looks up from her phone, like she's doing a headcount of the Champions.] The Champion who successfully proves their Excellence by murdering a fellow Champion and escaping punishment will receive an all-expenses-paid space cruise to the Vegas Quadrant.

[The man gives his companion a deadpan look and then looks at the Champions.]

Any questions?

Maybe that's how they roll in space?

[photoshooter]

I don't see how murder wouldn't still be wrong in outer space.

[kebakeba]

Because there's no laws against it? [ it's not gay murder if it on the moon in space ] Is there even laws in space?

[photoshooter]

You don't need laws to know killing people is not a good thing!

[kebakeba]

I mean, yeah, of course it's wrong, but that hasn't stopped people before.

[photoshooter]

That's... true.

[His eyes flick over to Lunafreya, but then he looks guiltily back at Chitose.]

But still, we can't... no one here's gonna let something like that convince them, right? No one here's actually a bad person...

[kebakeba]

I don't want to point fingers, buuut... [ She total does, and lowers her voice to a whisper ] I wouldn't trust Mister Accomplice. Like seriously, they should have just put "Champion Betrayer."

[photoshooter]

What, Thomas? I don't think that dude could hurt a fly...

[kebakeba]

I bet his soul is pitch black—plus he's a cop. [ fuck da police ]

[photoshooter]

W-well, I'm part of the Crownsguard, too, technically...

[It's... like being a cop? Sort of.]

[kebakeba]

Aren't you like, fifteen? [ what is this anime bullshit kids can't be cops ]

[photoshooter]

I'm twenty! [GURL.]

[kebakeba]

Same thing—you're still younger than me. [ when are you gonna hit puberty kid ]

[photoshooter]

[He boggles at this tiny pink lady.]

No way. Seriously? You're older than me?

[kebakeba]

I'm twenty-one! [ fear her ]

[photoshooter]

Oh--pbbfft. You're not that much older than me. You're an adult with a job, aren't you?

[kebakeba]

Of course, I'm not some NEET—[ cause she ain't no loser ]—I'm a seiyuu.

[photoshooter]

[His point's that he's an adult with a job (sort of) too, but that throws him off.]

A what?

[kebakeba]

Seiyuu—a voice actor. [ She puffs her chest with pride. ]

[photoshooter]

Oh! Hey, that's actually pretty cool! So you work on cartoons and stuff, right?

[Guys, is this the time?]

[kebakeba]

[ any time is the perfect time for chitose to boast about herself ]

Heh heh, that's right. I only debuted last year, buuuuut I've getting pretty popular. [ that's a lie she's only done background and minor characters but it's not like anyone here can prove her wrong ]

[photoshooter]

What's your favorite role? Do you have a character type they always ask you to do?

[kebakeba]

[ shit she wasn't expecting to be called out like that time to improvise. ]

Oh, there's just been so many... I could never choose a favorite since they've all been exciting and unique experiences.

[photoshooter]

[Uh-huh, sure, Jan, he's definitely gonna buy that.]

Wow... That's exactly what I'd expect a professional to say.

[...He actually, definitely bought that.]

Is it fun?
