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! ))

[honestly-- like. Korra's bothered. They should lay Chloe to rest, but.

How?

And thinking about it makes her stomach turn again, and the tears well up.

She's sitting nearby, with her knees pulled up to her chest. She needs to get herself together, before she can think of helping others.]

[keepmeinyourheart]

[Korra...

Luna kneels down beside her friend, placing a hand on her knee.]

It is alright to leave the room. You can leave things to Akira and myself if you need time.

[newcycle]

[She looks up, jarred from her fugue, and she slowly shakes her head, shifting to be less closed up.

She wants to help.

But her eyes are puffy, and she has to swallow hard.]

No, I-- I can help too.

[keepmeinyourheart]

Korra... I may need help guiding others out of this room. Can you assist with that?

[No dealing with the body for you.]

[newcycle]

I can-- but what about... She needs to be laid to rest properly. I... don't even know what that looks like for her.

[she wipes her eyes, but her face doesn't harden. She just wants to make sure Chloe gets respect.]

[keepmeinyourheart]

Do not worry about that. Akira, I, and a few others will see to it.

[Please. Go rest.]

[newcycle]

[but everyone needs rest, and when Kaiba comes calling, who else can be impulsive enough to slap him? Korra pushes herself to her knees, and then up]

Thank you, Luna.

But I can't ask you to take on everything for me too, you know? You and Akira... you're hurting, the same as me.

[keepmeinyourheart]

[Kaiba is going to be slapped by a lot of people at this rate...]

Do not worry about me. I am far stronger than I appear.

[Say that again in an hour.]

[newcycle]

[something about her memory sticks out after Luna says that. She'd been made "weak" somehow, and suffered a lot. And it had taught her compassion.

She doesn't remember that memory, but...]

I can't help it. Worrying, you know.

[she glances at Chloe's body, and then immediately back to Luna]

I'll help move people out. But-- you and Akira shouldn't handle this by yourselves.

[keepmeinyourheart]

[She gives her friend a small, forced smile.]

If I promise to rest after I am done, will that help with your worry?

[newcycle]

[it's forced, and she can tell it is. If anything, that just makes her worry a little more.]

... Yes. It will.

[keepmeinyourheart]

[She's not good at reassuring right now, is she...]

Then the sooner I get back to helping, the sooner I can rest. Please take care of yourself, Korra.

[newcycle]

[She is the opposite of reassured. Better believe she's coming back the minute she's cleared the area, Luna...]

Right. I'll be back as soon as I can.

[keepmeinyourheart]

[By that time Luna will be in Chloe's room, trying not to have a breakdown. Sorry.

She nods, turning her attention back to Akira and Chloe's body.]

I will be here.

[Somewhere in the station.]
