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.]

[He will take some time a little later to look at her tattoo after he just... gets over his confusion.]

W-wardrobe maintenance? ...With a knife?

[this looks hella unsafe man]

[hellahighwater]

[ hella unsafe, the subtitle to chloe's life ]

Yes? Couldn't tear it off, and it's easier to handle than scissors. What's the problem?

[batfortheprincess]

Well, it looked like...

[...You know what, never mind what it looked like.]

Do you need some assistance with that? It might be easier with two people.

[or if she took it off first but um... he's not going to say that to her face in case it gets taken the wrong way.]

[hellahighwater]

[ She would absolutely take it the wrong way. ...And then mock him, forever. ]

I... Yeah, sure. Fuck, I just want my arms to be able to breathe again.

[batfortheprincess]

[missed opportunities!! lbr though, there will probably be something else that comes up that'll be worth mocking him for.]

R-right then.

[Anyways he'll take the knife ig?! And just... kind of stare at what's left of her sleeve first.

He looks like he doesn't really know how to start, oh god volunteering to do this was a mistake??]

[hellahighwater]

[ Plenty of opportunities...like now!! Chloe watches him and raises her eyebrows. ]

Well? Go on. Cut away- or would you feel more comfortable keeping it steady while I do the slicing?

[batfortheprincess]

[screams internally]

N-no, it's fine. I can do this. Please excuse any discomfort this might cause.

[He's just trying to do this with as little bodily contact as possible, it's cool. Everything is cool. So Slaine just kind of daintily tries to stretch the fabric away from her arm as he cuts it. He's pretty careful to keep the knife cutting in a direction that decidedly isn't Chloe's arm and while he's slow, he's... managing. It probably could have been faster if Chloe hacked it off herself but oh well, her right arm's free!

He definitely lets out a breath when he's finished though.]

[hellahighwater]

[ For her part, Chloe doesn't tap her foot expectantly or heave an inpatient sigh or anything like that. She realized the moment Slaine took the knife he's probably not the best sort for it, despite his...weird title, but why not let this play out? She needs entertainment where she can get it, and if he nicks her...oh well, she's had worse. It's not like it'll do anything to her tattoo anyway.

Aaaand... ]

There we go... Steady hands, blondie. [ She decides against nudging him; that would probably be bad with a knife in his hands!! Instead she stretches out her arm. Aaaahhhh, so much better. ] Freedom at fucking last.

[batfortheprincess]

[Blondie...... well honestly he's heard worse so meh. It's really hard to miss the tattoo though, so it's probably obvious that his attention is drawn to it. Still, he looks back at her face when he realizes he may have been staring a little.]

Um, do you need the other side done as well?

[hellahighwater]

[ Well, when he looks back at her face, he'll find she's smirking. ]

Nah, this side'll be easier with my right hand. Admiring the ink?

[batfortheprincess]

If you're certain.

[Welp, you can have that hella huge knife back Chloe. He'll still be around in case anything drastic happens because presumably people bleeding all over the place would be bad, so. But being called out like that makes him flush just the tiniest bit.]

Um, yes. I haven't seen one that large and elaborate before. ...Does it mean anything?

[hellahighwater]

[ She quite likes that hella huge knife, she might keep it. Getting to work... ]

A few. It's no design from a movie or a game or even an artist, if that's on your mind. No, it's just a lot of things that seemed personal to me.

[batfortheprincess]

[Ah.]

I see. It's mostly the flowers that caught my eye... they look like hibiscuses.

[hellahighwater]

...Oh. Yeah, I didn't think someone would... They are.

[batfortheprincess]

I traveled around before, so... I recognized them a little, that's all.

[hellahighwater]

You know what they mean?

[batfortheprincess]

...No, I'm afraid not. [He continues a little hesitantly.] But I understand that red flowers have often been associated with passion or love.

[hellahighwater]

Got it in one. They're...I liked the idea of it, I guess. Having something like that permanently on my skin.

[ Alongside a skull... ]
