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.]

[Hmm... how to tailor this explanation to her? Well, first...]

Prin-- ah, Lucina. Are you familiar with explosives or cannons?
challengesfate: (eh?)

I am familiar with explosive materials - not in using them, but I've seen explosions before.

[Who knows if she knows what a cannon is.]

[That's honestly good enough for him, so he won't pursue it.]

I see. There are many ways of travelling to space, but you can think of it as a controlled explosion that pushes the ship upwards. The ship has to be built very strongly to handle the strain, but it can be perfectly safe for those on board.

[And he'll just... grab a sheet of paper to doodle a really crude rocket and a launchpad.]
challengesfate: (whoa-)

[And she will watch him doodle that because that doesn't sound safe at all.]

You're sure? Generally explosions...do a lot more harm than they do good.

Ordinarily, it would be dangerous, yes. But the explosion itself is contained very carefully so that it only exits out one end and is blocked off from coming close to the passengers. The engineers that build them include safety measures in place as well.

[pchoo look at that shitty rocket with flames out one end]
challengesfate: (thats not-)

That's...really quite incredible! I can't imagine how much time it must have taken for the engineers to get it to work like that.
