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

I see! Because the gravity is so strong, it's like sucking, I get it!

[Universal symbol for sucking, something something get rekt Jaune Arc]

We'll have to make sure this place collapses, to make sure they don't try this with anyone else.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Bingo!

[Something something Jaune Arc indeed]

Yeah, that's an definite thing we gotta do. Who knows how many times they'd try again otherwise.

[Zombina pauses and frowns.]

Fuck, they could even grab people close ta us ta use in it as a big screw you ta us for escaping.

[in4apounding]

You really think they would do something like that?

[Penny thinks for a second, then her expression hardens a little.]

I won't let them do it.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

I wouldn't put it past 'em. They ain't exactly very good people from what I can tell.

[Zombina nods in approval at her expression.]

Good. Ya can be sure the rest of us ain't gonna stand by if that happens either.

[in4apounding]

Thank you. If they hurt Ruby- I don't know what I'd do.

[Spoiler, it'd be that scene in the Iron Giant where it reverts to its original violent programming, only more concentrated and ginger.]

..Oh- um. Miss Zombina. There was something else I was going to ask you. About your home? If it's all right.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Ruby? Who's that? Your girlfriend or something?

[ZOMBINA.]

S'perfectly fine Penny-chan. Go ahead, shoot! I'll do my best ta answer.

[in4apounding]

I was-

[Wait whatnow.]

What? No, she's a friend. Who's a girl. A really good friend, the best friend anyone could ask for! She's kind and brave and really friendly and she got admitted to Beacon two whole years early and- um. Is that something that can- That's not the point!

I was going to ask about your world. About- liminal species, that's what they're called, right? People who aren't human but are still people?

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

[Zombina laughs at Penny's reaction.]

Sounds like an wonderful person. Glad ta hear ya got a friend like her Penny-chan.

[Zombina doesn't look too surprised when she asked about the liminal species.]

Mhm. Another name's Extra-species, but that and liminal species pretty much used interchangeably. But yeah, people who aren't human, but are still people.

[in4apounding]

She IS a wonderful person. She called me 'friend' almost immediately after we met.

[The studio threatening her would end badly.]

But- extra-species. Are there any that don't have to sleep?

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Cute. Then again, ya are the kinda person anyone would wanna be friends with Penny-chan.

[Penny deserves all the friends in the world.]

Doesn't sleep huh? Not any that I personally know of, but there's a whole buncha extra-species that I don't know about. The closest thing I can think of are Eel Mermaids. They have a lotta stamina, so they tend ta stay up all night. It leaves 'em pretty sleep deprived though.

[in4apounding]

...you really think so?

[Yeah, sorry, that is immediately and completely derailing her actual line of inquiry. She sounds like she's about to weep tears of joy.]

Wait. Does- um. Does that include you? The wanting to be friends, not the not sleeping.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Penny-chan. I don't think so. I know so.

[Zombina gives her a soft smile.]

Hell yes it does. I'd hafta be crazy ta turn down being friends with ya.

[in4apounding]

Oh- oh! Thank you, that's absolutely SENSATIONAL-

[Hopefully this hug isn't hard enough to dislidge any body parts, Penny's pretty strong. It's like being hugged by a very excitable minitank.]

Thank you so much Miss Zombina, I would LOVE to br friends!

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Oof-!

[Zombina is thankful she's no longer alive, as that would probably hurt otherwise. She mentally makes a note to check on all her stitches after this. For now though, Zombina pats Penny's head.]

Haha, glad ta hear that Penny-chan!

[in4apounding]

So am I!

[She would feel very bad if she actually knocked anything loose.]

First Miss Lucina and now you- oh, I hope when this is all over you can both come and meet Ruby, she'd absolutely LOVE you!

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Aha, I'd love ta come and meet your-

[Totally not girlfriend.]

-friend!

[Listen, tell her about how everything is also a gun, and Zombina will go buyout several weapon shops in Remnant. They clearly recognize how great guns are. She can always have more guns! She only owns 11 after all. Can never have enough gun!]

You'll hafta show me and Lucina 'round your world too! I'll hafta take ya ta see my Teammates sometime too!
