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

[The movie is strange, and Lunafreya has been in the room for a while watching it quietly behind Chloe. Sorry if she's about to scare you.]

I think it's quite interesting.

[hellahighwater]

[ ATTACK OF THE FLYING POPCORN Chloe just

throws her popcorn into the air

everywhere

with a small shout ]

[keepmeinyourheart]

[......

Well. She'll have to remember not to do that in the future.

Sorry, Chloe. Luna has to keep herself from smiling since in a way this was a little too amusing to watch.]

I apologize. I thought you were aware I was in the room.

[hellahighwater]

[ it's cool she cool- time to clean up- ...fuck naw she'll leave it

Chloe collects herself and mumbles: ] Should've named her Ninja Prophecy or some shit. Fuck, it's fine. It's fine, just like...announce yourself, it was more shocking to hear you like this shlock.

[keepmeinyourheart]

[If the popcorn is still there in the morning, then Luna might just clean it up.]

I will remember to do so next time. [Hope Chloe doesn't mind her sitting down.] The concept... of a virus such as this, it reminds me of my world. The spirits in this movie are much like the daemon, as one can become ill from contact with them.

[hellahighwater]

[ She can sit! She's the hero we need but not the one we deserve honestly. ]

...Well, okay, if you can relate to it... But it's just boring! That sorta shit, it'd usually be...interesting? Emotional? Make you feel something? But this is just- I don't know, I'm not a movie person, but it's all off. It's lifeless.

[keepmeinyourheart]

[Chloe, if you want to join the Lunafreya fanclub, go hit up Prompto.]

I would agree it is not as entertaining as some of the movies I have watched since coming here. The actors are not very engaging, and I would have to say that the daemon are far more deadly than these spirits. The science behind all of this is what draws me in. Their spirits, if they carried Starscourge, could easily have wiped out the entire planet in a matter of days.

[She sounds somewhat horrified about this.]

This Aki Ross character... she is far different from the heroines in the other movies here. [She's wearing more clothes than most of them.]

[hellahighwater]

[ DON'T WORRY HER AND PROMPTO ARE BROS, THEY'VE CRIED ON EACH OTHER ]

Okay. Pause for a sec. [ ...Not actually, let's just let the movie play. ] What's...the Starscourge?

[keepmeinyourheart]

[Prompto has a good taste in people to be sad with?

Chloe, you are not ready for this. Or maybe you are.]

Starscourge is a disease that manifests as darkness invading a person. I do not know the full details of it, but it seems to be an illness that has been modified, it is very contagious, and as of right now I am the only cure. This disease... it turns humans into daemon, creatures that thrive in the darkness, attacking anything and anyone that gets in their way. Their only instinct is to kill. [She saves who she can...] Daemon cannot be saved once they are that far along. Even I, as the Oracle, cannot reverse a full transformation... It is not only that. The darkness that threatens our world is a part of it. It is my duty to keep the world from succumbing and being plunged into an eternal night.

[hellahighwater]

[ ...Wow. ]

Uh... Fuckin' yikes, girl. That's... Shit.

[ Wow. ]

That's...heavy as all hell.

[keepmeinyourheart]

[She'll forgive the swearing.... because she has to admit that if you aren't from her world, this all might seem a little extreme.]

From what others have told me of their worlds, you are not the only one with that sentiment. This is all common knowledge where I am from. Prompto could tell you much the same.

[hellahighwater]

[ Trying to get Chloe to stop swearing would be the Most Futile Exercise, honestly. ]

I don't... I don't know what to say. You're the only thing that can stop it?

[keepmeinyourheart]

Yes, unless Noctis becomes the Chosen King and banishes the darkness once and for all. The cycle will continue otherwise.

[It's.... not fun. Luna's suffering just as much as those affected by the darkness, but she won't complain.]

[hellahighwater]

Noctics... Prompto told me a bit about him. That's...a lot of pressure, for just two people.

[ SOUNDS. STRANGELY RELATABLE, PUTTING IT LIKE THAT. ]

[keepmeinyourheart]

That it may be, but I have hope he can accomplish it.

[It's said with a lot of love and admiration.]

[hellahighwater]

[ ...Ha. ]

Prompto was right, you're smitten, aren't you?

[keepmeinyourheart]

[Usually someone would look surprised and try to deny it. Luna, on the other hand, simply smiles and nods.]

I will not deny that I feel deeply for Noctis.

[hellahighwater]

Damn, that's sappy. And kinda cute. [ She says, in a "don't tell anyone I said that" tone of voice. ] You two got one of those...political but for love things going on? Don't hear about that as often.

[keepmeinyourheart]

Arranged marriages are more common among the royalty and higher echelon, and I admit that they are quite rare even now. [She goes quiet for a moment.] I would like to believe that Noctis feels the same as I do. We corresponded using a journal and my dog Umbra all these years apart.

[hellahighwater]

Girl, he's crazy about you. Prompto assured me.

[ ...is this a secret- oops-- ]

[keepmeinyourheart]

[Oh gosh, can you say that she looks like she's over the moon with that statement?

SHE'S A LITTLE TOO HAPPY TO REPLY AT THE MOMENT]

[hellahighwater]

[ HA oh. OH WELL. ]

Wow, girl, you're shining like a megawatt something. Shit, glad to make your day. [ And she actually does sound it? This is nice, this is a good thing. ]

[keepmeinyourheart]

[Look, this girl has been in love with Noctis for a very long time now and has always wanted to know if he felt the same. This is such a nice surprise!

Now she does look a little embarrassed, though.] I had my doubts since we haven't seen one another in over twelve years... yet this makes me very glad to hear. When I see him next, if all is well, I would like to hear it from him in his own words.

[hellahighwater]

I...bet you will. Get outta here, and...you get yourself that boy.

[ Ah... If only, she could... Chloe glances back to the movie. ]

[keepmeinyourheart]

["Get yourself that boy"... She'll remember that.]

Chloe... it might sound a bit forward, but I think we should both go for the people we love. That would be your Max for you, would it not?

[CAN'T HiDE LOVE FROM HER]
