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! ))

... my mother was an Oracle. She was not forced like I was to rush becoming one, so she had years to learn to cope with the powers afforded to her. She was healthy, had a family... I wish I could have spoken with her about being an Oracle.

[It does, doesn't it? A curse the gods themselves gave to her bloodline.]

[newcycle]

[it's just becoming one so young? Korra thinks that makes more sense-- but that it's also still bullshit.]

What happened to your mom?

[keepmeinyourheart]

[Oh boy]

She died protecting my brother and I the day we were attacked by the Niflheim Empire.

[newcycle]

[she has 1 regret so far: asking that question]

Oh no-- I'm so sorry. I... I wouldn't have asked if... [she squeezes her hand]

Luna... none of what you're telling me sounds fair.

[keepmeinyourheart]

[She shakes her head.] It is known in my world what befell my mother. The Empire did nothing to hide what they did to Tenebrae and everyone else they conquered.

[If anything, that seems to have endeared Luna even more to her people.

That... earns Korra a pained smile.]

Yet it is how things are. I do not regret becoming the Oracle. What I do is for my people, for Noctis, and for Eos itself. I would not give up my duty for anything.

[newcycle]

All of that-- that's fine. I understand.

But there has to be a better way for you, too.

[keepmeinyourheart]

If there was, I am sure I would take it. As there isn't, I must do what I can instead.

[newcycle]

I mean-- maybe I can help?

I'm not an oracle but... I have the spirit of light inside of me. I'm sure my bending can do something. Anything, to give you more time.

[keepmeinyourheart]

[Luna manages a weak smile.]

If it could give me more time, I would try it... Yet I am hesitant to say yes. Korra, you don't have to strain yourself in order to help me. I am glad to simply have someone to speak with.

[newcycle]

That's what friends are for, though. Trust me, it's not straining for me to try and help you.

[keepmeinyourheart]

... You are too kind, Korra. I will take your offer into consideration. Thank you.
