week one

[airlockedmods]

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

And who the fuck thinks Space Vegas'll be a good incentive anyway! Self-centered pricks, get the fuck out!

[ She stands and crosses to the door, punctuating it with a loud knock from her fist. She's still frustrated beyond belief, but having someone to yell with her? It does make this feel a little more worthwhile. ]

[quadjumps]

Fuck your Space Vegas shit, give us the real Vegas if you're gonna do that, assholes!

[ he'll follow up with a roundhouse kick to the door. they're probably watching, laughing at them right now and he knows it, but he doesn't care. ]

[hellahighwater]

[ Oh hell yeah! Roundhouse kick, good. She shoots him an approving look. ]

Maybe go there yourselves! And never fucking leave! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, fucks! [ Punctuating it with some punches. Mmmm, good. ]

[quadjumps]

[ yuri yells some profanities...and then he stops.

and then he's laughing.

he looks over at chloe, a smile on his face. ]

Hah! Didn't that feel great? Letting those fucks know exactly what we think of them?

[hellahighwater]

[ Chloe is... Well, there's a smile on her face, kind of. She's not really laughing, though. Nor is she as rejuvenated as Yuri.

It's a soft response, somehow. ]

Yeah... It did. Need to do it more often.

[quadjumps]

[ yuri gives her a firm nod. ]

They'll have to confront us eventually. Until then, they can fuck off.

[hellahighwater]

[ She hopes they show themselves sooner, rather than later, honestly... ]

...Thanks for bein' a shouting partner. It's not often I get people telling the world to screw itself with me.

[quadjumps]

Yeah.

[ he looks away for a bit. ]

We don't deserve to be here.

[hellahighwater]

We don't.

...But life ain't ever fair, really.

[quadjumps]

[ he scoffs a little at that. ]

That's an understatement.

[ in any case, ]

Champion of Max Caufield. What's that supposed to mean?

[hellahighwater]

[ ... ]

I don't know.

She's... Max Caulfield is my best friend...but I don't know if I'm really a "Champion" of her.

[quadjumps]

...Best friend, huh...

[ yuri doesn't know what that's like, but... ]

Maybe that's why you're her champion.

[hellahighwater]

I wouldn't say I've been the A+ best friend lately.

[quadjumps]

Well, yeah. Because you're stuck here.

[hellahighwater]

No. It's not just that.

[quadjumps]

...Well, we're this far in. You might as well tell me what you mean.

[hellahighwater]

[ ... ]

How open do you feel about weird sci-fi shit, Yuri? 'Cause there's space, but...this is gonna be a little fucking wild.

[quadjumps]

...Like I've been telling other people: I literally met a real-life zombie. I'll believe anything.

[hellahighwater]

[ Hooooooookay-- ]

Max can rewind time.

[quadjumps]

--Seriously? So she can change the past if she wanted to?

[hellahighwater]

Yeah. But it's taxing on her. ...More than I really realized, 'til I started thinking about it here.

[quadjumps]

Are you from one of those worlds where powers are common, too? Can you do anything like that?

[hellahighwater]

Fuck no. Things are never like this. She just- ...she first used it the day before I woke up here. She saved my life with it, from some punk with a gun.

[quadjumps]

[ too bad she couldn't save your life this time ]

You mean you almost got shot?!

[hellahighwater]

[ mmmwhatcha saaaay ]

Yeah. I guess...from her perspective I did? But she turned back time, and she saved me. And I... I kept making her use it for dumb shit. Dumb, rewindy fun.
