Week 1

[After the initial introduction of the Overseers, the Champions were left to their own devices in investigating the part of the ship they have access to to their hearts' content. However, the doors that Blaze Dudely and Rox came through are locked tight and cannot be unlocked via PIP.

On Wednesday morning, the same voice that awakened them the previous morning chirps at them again from their PIPs at 7 am on the dot.

Enjoy your week, Champions.]

[She's almost afraid to ask.]

Are you mixing those syrups together?

[Because why.]

Yeah? But not just randomly, check it.

[ She grabs... coffee number 3. ]

So this lil guy has bacon, maple syrup, and vanilla syrups in there. Including the Maple Syrup Syrup, which I just wanna take a sec to appreciate the hell out of. Anyway, it should taste like pancakes but like. In a cup!

[Is it more worrying that there's method to her madness? Probably.]

Should might be the keyword there.

[But, hey. You're the scientist, Roxy. Test your theories and what not, Miki's gonna eyeball some of these intense looking syrups scattered around the place. Butterscotch, praline, and cinnamon all sound kinda nice, but some of them are just... weird. Blue curacao? Green apple? Rum...?]

There are a lot of alcoholic sounding ones. [Is that intentional?]

[ She is indeed the mad scientist here. But the mention of those gets her to... pause, for just a sec, before she bounces back. ]

Huh, didn't see those.

Weird. They can't actually have alcohol in, can they? A lot of us are underage.

[She's holding up a bottle of one claiming to be Rose syrup now.]

Probs not, you're right. But I guess you never know, maybe there isn't a legal drinking age in space.

[Miki pulls a face and sets the bottle down.]

I'll pass.

[But okay. You got her attention Roxy. She leans on the counter, eyeing the other coffee mugs thoughtfully.]

What combinations were you going for in these other mugs then?

Well, this one's got a bunch of berries in it, this one's chocolate and caramel, that's just... that one's just good tbh.

[ Okay, she'll point a couple others out. ]

That one's got all the pink syrups I could find, and that one uh... I've been putting a little bit of every syrup that looks good in that one I wanna see how much of a fuckin flavor apocalypse I can make.

[That last one?

It sounds terrifying, to be honest.]

Any syrup that interests you? No theme or logic...?

[Oh my god. Roxy, no... please...]

[ evil cackling in the bg ]

It already smells kinda like how I figure nightmares smell.

[SUDDEN F E A R]

Oh...

[Hang on she's just going to lean forward and

sniff

and that back away from that counter like someone just lit it on fire.]

Ugh??

The sugary depths of smell hell, Miki. We've now gazed into them.

[ A very serious look. ]

We're in this together now.

[She didn't ask for this, return to sender.]

I'm not being your guinea pig.

[N O P E.

and then... she smiles~ sort of. It might not look that warm and friendly.]

I'd be happy to document your symptoms and reactions when you try it, though.

Whoah, whoah, whoah, I wasn't about to make you go first.

[ She smiles right back. ]

We're going to hell together, Miki.

[Miki raises a hand.]

I humbly decline. I am a mere observer.

Hm. This is an impasse, Miki, is what this is.

[ She looks over at the other coffees. ]

How about you tackle another one for me? Like a smaller hell.

It seems that way.

[She seems so broken up about it, really.

Ahem.]

I can test the chocolate and caramel one for you. [SPARKLE SPARKLE]

You're lucky you're cute.

[ She hands it over. ]

Time for me to die of syrup hubris, I guess.

[Miki wins!]

If you added as much to this as you did to the others, I'll still be joining you.

[Oh well. Bottom's up]

... Mm. I don't think I could drink the whole cup -- how much caramel did you add to this?

[ Hi Roxy slammed her whole thing at once like a true friend, hang on. She puts up a finger.

Hold on

Hold on

Hold... she kind of gasps/coughs and shakes her head.]

Yeah that sucked, alright. What's the thing you just said again, I was fightin for my life.

[Does she need to call a spambulance?

Miki sets her mug down and

hovers

hovers???

Oh okay she's still alive... and conscious.]

Uh... that this is probably a bit too sweet to finish, but it definitely doesn't do that. [Gawd hang on she's just gonna... tentatively sniff the mug Roxy just drained and r e c o i l.]

Ugh--?!
