PEACE WEEKEND

[It's your first week here, and you've been offered a fantastic prize for killing someone: an all-expense paid vacation! It's a pretty standard prize as far as reality game shows go.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), this isn't exactly a game show.

It seems that no one has died this weekend, and the deadline for the prize is now expired. There's no announcement from the Overseers to that effect; in fact, none of you have seen either of them since Tuesday. Maybe they'll make a reappearance soon, but for now, it seems that you've got a moment of peace.

Hopefully nothing happens to it.]

Be careful not to strain yourself, Miki. That grip's not very efficient, a good headlock would be better.

[ oh please put him in a headlock she wants to see him squirm ]

[Was that the sound of you volunteering, Chitose?]

[Too bad, Penny time.]

Like this, see-

[And unless Chitose's very quick, Penny's arm is going under hers and behind her neck, with her other arm restrained behind her.]

And this way both aggressors are separated.

[Oh my god this escalated quickly.]

I-I see.

... Uh, thank you Penny-san.

You're very welcome!

[What, no, this escalation is a lot tamer than usual, really.]

Polendina. That's enough.

Ah- sorry, Mister Kaiba.

[She was just trying to help, bro.]

But, um. You might want to let Chitose-san go?

Now you've demonstrated.

Oh. Um. Yes, probably. Sorry.

[And presumably she does? If Chitose isn't swearing bloody vengeance on Yuri or something.]

[;;;]

Thank you. But I think they'll calm down now. [If they don't, you can definitely headlock them again.]

[ thankfully(?), chitose is an ordinary human with average reaction times, so naturally penny's move catches her by complete surprise. ]

H-Hey hey hey, what are you doing?! Don't restrain me!

Do you promise to leave Yuri alone even if he's being kind of a jerk?

Okay! Okay, fine, sure, whatever, I'll leave him alone—just let me go. [ please she can only flail for so long. ]

Okay!

[And she's free. Penny, for the record, is looking chipper and ever.]

I'm sorry for having to do that, but I promised I wouldn't let anyone get hurt.

[ congrats on gaining +1 person who is now terrified of you, penny ]

R-right...

[What? No, she's a helper. Look at that smile.]

Thank you for understanding!

[ that's what makes her so terrifying ]

Ha ha, n-no problem. [ oh gods she could snap her neck like a twig couldn't she ]

Oh-!

[Lucina looks less horrified and more...impressed? Well number one Penny seems like the kind of girl who would not lash out and hurt anyone on purpose and two IT'S A RELIEF TO SEE THE PEOPLE SHE LIKES BEING ABLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES OKAY it reminds her of home.]

That's...that's very impressive!
