PEACE WEEKEND

[airlockedmods]

[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.]

I believe the profiles said she is twenty two years old.

[But it's clear from Lucina's expression that yeah, she's not impressed either.]

[quadjumps]

Bullshit.

[ chitose why are you like this ]

[challengesfate]

Mm, I find it difficult to believe myself. Though...that might be because of the circumstances I grew up in. My friends and I had no choice but to become adults.

[Some succeeded to a greater extent than others, but, well. They're trying and are very aware of the danger in their lives. That's the most important thing.]

Perhaps in her realm she is fortunate enough to be able to act that way.

[quadjumps]

I know a couple other people like her.

[ lOOKIN AT YOU JJ ]

She's a real class act, though. [ not like he's one to talk, but. ] Look--I want to get out of here as much as any of you do. I don't have time to be putting up with that kind of bullshit.

[challengesfate]

...No, neither do I. But I want to try and work with everyone as best I can.

What is it you have to go home to, Yuri? If you don't mind me asking.

[quadjumps]

My career.

[ plain and simple. ]

I'm making my debut in the senior division; I'm a figure skater. I can't look bad in front of my competition, and they've been doing this for longer than I have.

[challengesfate]

[...I mean. She doesn't...have a concept for what a figure skater could be, but she does understand the importance of a career.]

...And they won't care if you tell them you've been brought into space. Right?

[quadjumps]

What, my competition? They probably would.

[ they're all...kind of friends? well. not that yuri considers them friends, but they're all nice to him, so... ]

[challengesfate]

[...Competition. Equals. Coworkers?]

But...the people in charge would not accept it, I assume.

[quadjumps]

[ SOMETHING LIKE THAT ]

No, they wouldn't. Nobody would believe me.

[challengesfate]

...No, I doubt anyone would believe me, either.

[She frowns. This is really terrible for poor Yuri...]

And there's no other time to debut, right? It's either when it happens, or...

[quadjumps]

[ it's terrible for all of them, really. ]

Yeah, you get it. I really can't delay this any longer.

[challengesfate]

...

[Will he. Accept a gentle hand on his shoulder?]

I wish I knew how we could help - because I do think there are some people here who would not want to see your opportunity denied you because of something out of your control.

[quadjumps]

[ it's fine. it's fine!! ]

Yeah, well. I think you guys have your own shit to worry about, don't you?

[challengesfate]

Just because we all have our own worries doesn't mean we can't worry about each other.
