Week 2

[The second week in the Champion Excellence Program kicks off on a somber note. Chitanda, Toby, the Griffin- all three of them gone, two of them in one fell swoop. If anyone thinks to check the profiles on their P.I.P.s they will find that the dearly departed Champions' profile photos have been greyed out.

Right on the dot at 7 am the mechanical woman's voice chimes to awaken the remaining champions on Sunday morning, as she has for the past week. After the initial wake-up call though there's a new message tacked on:]

Congratulations, Champions! By surviving your first trial, you have unlocked the second floor of the ship. A new mini map has been added to your P.I.P.! To access the second floor please stand on the teleporter and select the floor you wish to be teleported to.

[The new floor isn't the only thing floating around the ship though, at least metaphorically. When the Champions are awakened they have regained one new memory from the ones they've lost. Starting again on Sunday, as well, Jamie and Bolton will be back to their usual office hours in their usual locations.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday


[ooc: welcome to week 2, everyone! Check-in has begun and don't forget to submit your memory regains!]

Is it that obvious? Or much of a surprise? [There's a huff. But that doesn't hide the circles under her eyes, the bruises isn't enough to cover them now.]

I thought I'd stay here. Maybe see how our meals have been getting here but...

[bylight]

[Is she the only one who slept well?]

They might be made on an entirely different floor. There's a lot about this place that we don't know about.

[refusedtoleave]

[She doesn't have her millions of medications her to help her sleep.]

That's true. We don't even know how big it really is.

[bylight]

[Then she should start working out and get used to exhausted sleep.]

... seems they'll only open floors when there's a death and a trial... Do we want to even risk that?

[refusedtoleave]

It's not worth it. Not even enough to think about.

[No hesitation here.]

[bylight]

[She nods.]

Good answer. We'll figure things out without breaking the rules, alright?

[refusedtoleave]

Who knows. There might be something useful in the new area. I haven't had a chance to explore yet.

[bylight]

I haven't either. So far it doesn't seem likely they'll leave something out that's too obvious.

[refusedtoleave]

It'd be useful to know where our hosts go when they leave their offices. They probably have access to an exit.

[bylight]

Most likely panels in the walls we can't access.

[refusedtoleave]

Like our rooms? [She sighs.] I wonder if it has anything to do with the pips.

[bylight]

It may. [If only they could mess with them.] Ours might be keeping us confined to certain areas until they think we have a reason to access them. Such as the 2nd floor.

[refusedtoleave]

It's a shame no ones managed to get one off. If there had been, then we could test it... That would set a warning off though, wouldn't it? If they detect signs of life. [Because she could think of one way of removing it.]

[bylight]

[Hmmm...] The only way I can think of removing one of these things would involve cutting someone's arm off. I'd rather not risk that. Otherwise... I doubt even McBurn can melt this damn thing. And I'm not going to try and zap to see if I can short it... so unless you plan on removing one from a dead body...

[refusedtoleave]

Haven't some criminals escaped handcuffs by cutting of their thumb? [Would that work though? She's never been put in handcuffs before, but they'd be looser than these things.]

[bylight]

[NATSUHI NO]

Unless you can find someone crazy enough to do that, let's make that the desperate last resort.

[refusedtoleave]

I wasn't saying we should try it! [She likes having thumbs.]

[bylight]

Then why suggest it? [You're not making yourself sound too sane here.]

[refusedtoleave]

I wasn't! I was just pointing out that people have done it before.

[bylight]

Still... there's a couple of people I wouldn't put it past in this place.

[refusedtoleave]

I can think of a few as well... Maybe it's best if we don't mention it...

[bylight]

Don't worry. I'm keeping those names too myself. Even with Xander.

[He might think she's being paranoid.]

[refusedtoleave]

Not only that, if it really is something then telling the wrong person... [Someone might already be paranoid.]

[bylight]

If you're that worried and need to let it out, make a diary. Keep it in your room.

[refusedtoleave]

I used to keep one when I was younger...
