Week 2

[The Champions have now been here for one week, and while the dud of a first incentive didn't tempt anybody, the fact remains obvious: a lack of murder isn't going to be the thing that gets you out of here.

Blaze Dudely and Rox have not made a reappearance since Tuesday, leaving you to your own devices for the moment. That door they entered and exited through remains locked, and there is no new area to access this week. Are you sure they're even still back there? Despite their absence, you all wake up on Sunday morning from strange dreams. What to make of it?

You can only hope it's not a bad omen for the rest of the week.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

(( Don't forget to turn in your AC for Week 1, submit your memory regain, and turn in your Benefactor threads! ))

[Give it about five minutes. If he can sit there quietly for five minutes, he'll finally be greeted with a:] What.

[le_mat]

[he quirks a small smile, like he won something]

Wanted to make sure you were okay after that bit of chair throwing earlier.

[playthedamncard]

[Tersely:] I'm fine. [you know, like a liar]

[le_mat]

Hmm.

[he doesn't buy it]

Either way, I also came to see what you're working on.

[playthedamncard]

[Good, nobody should buy it, but hey, can't be Champ of Denial if he doesn't deny shit right? He pauses deep in the index of one of the books. One...two... And slams it shut, setting it aside.]

A pointless endeavor, but one I nonetheless had to try.

There's a company back where I'm from that does...a lot of under the table dealings, it seems. The man who owned the company before me told me that there's a dark force behind a lot of the world economy--I think I've found it. I was hoping to find any hints or clues in these books...but there's no reason for any of this to have anything of the sort.

[le_mat]

[his eyes sharpen]

I can't say for where you're from, but I know there's some crazy shit pulling those kinds of strings back home. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same here. Different people and names, same bullshit.

What brought this on? Bad dreams?

[he tilts his head, curious]

[playthedamncard]

If that's what you want to call what may be memories. [He may be the Champion of Denial, but he can see this for what it is. He just has a technological explanation for it that may or may not be bullshit is all.] But certainly bad. They've bought up my own company out from under me, swept another giant off their feet. I'm going to find them where they live and win it all back.

[le_mat]

Yeah, I was guessing memories too.

Win back though... You gonna buy it back?

[playthedamncard]

I'm hoping I won't have to. If I can find the person responsible, talk to him, beat him in a duel perhaps, I might be able to get him to reverse all this. He's done enough damage so far as it is.

[le_mat]

A duel?

[he makes a gesture that was probably supposed to mimic a swishing sword. But coming from Akira "I'm not yakuza, honest" Kurusu it looks more like a shanking]

[playthedamncard]

...A card game, actually. The game is called Duel Monsters, so a match is called a duel.

[le_mat]

Oh... That makes... sense?

Would they really risk all they've done on a card game though?

[playthedamncard]

It might sound ridiculous, but I imagine so. This group has shown a surprising number of cards I've never seen before with powers that are difficult to define. There's some nefarious purpose happening in the background, and I want to know what. It's not uncommon for duels to be used for...different results other than a win at a game.
