week one

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.]

Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

[All right, that wasn't where he was going with that, but now he's vaguely actually interested.] Why do you say that?

[challengesfate]

[Well Kaiba, if you want to know what an Exalt is, you can ask plainly. But she gets what you mean, now, if only tangentially.]

I haven't done much to prove myself as an Exalt, specifically. My father was a just man who fought and died for the sake of peace, and his sister before him even moreso. All I've done in comparison is survive...and there's nothing left for me to rule, either, if it came to that. The Halidom has been in ruins for years.

[playthedamncard]

Maybe it's the manner in which you survived. Or your potential to become.

[challengesfate]

It could be possible. Or perhaps...it might be something I can't remember. But, that's only if my age in the profile is to be believed.

[playthedamncard]

...Several people have considered their profiles to be incorrect. But if it's some form of mind screw, whey not do it for everyone, to the same degree?

Do you believe yours?

[challengesfate]

...Everything else listed on my profile is correct. But as for my age...no. I don't believe it.

[She can't. Two years is too long a gap. What could have happened that she can't change...?]

It's only a number being told to me, and I know it's wrong. What proof is there of it being right?

[playthedamncard]

I don't see the point in telling such a small lie, but there's nothing else to suggest it's true. Perhaps it's a glitch in the system.

[challengesfate]

...Perhaps. I certainly can't count anything like a mistake out.

[It had to be a mistake. That's right...a mistake. Yes.]

[playthedamncard]

The alternative is that you at least have survived two more years, even if you're suffering from some kind of amnesia. I wouldn't count that out, either, depending on the process of bringing us here. The mind is a delicate and at times fickle thing.

[challengesfate]

[hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

I...don't know if I want to try and imagine what could have happened in those two years. The things I have to do...everything is in that timeframe.

[playthedamncard]

Perhaps you bring your kingdom into an era of prosperity. That would certainly make you worthy of the title. [SHRUG] But what we must deal with is the here and now.

[challengesfate]

...You're right. That's why I'm trying to focus on the present.

[I mean, he could be right - but there were so many variables, and fate always does whatever it can to stay its cataclysmic course. Who knows what could have happened in two years? What if she'd failed? What if there was no more possibility of changing fate?]
