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!]

I told you this was unnecessary and disgusting. Why did you still do it?

[fatherofsin]

Last week showed me it was entirely necessary. Whether you want to face that grim truth or not is up to you, but I don't believe that simply hoping and dreaming gets things done.

[ You don't have to like it, Yurika. But he doesn't trust a damn person here to learn. ]

Perhaps seeing the consequences stack up in such a way will finally get it through to people that taking a gamble on what the Overseers can and cannot do isn't worth it. Certainly it will go a lot further than words.

[ratherdoweddings]

We already know that! If anything, you're just going to make us hate you more than them. That's not what anybody wants, and it's not going to save us.

[fatherofsin]

Do we? Because Toby was willing to gamble that. What if they offer you your greatest desire? Hold someone you care about hostage? Offer you a peaceful future free of strife? There are many who would kill for those so long as there aren't very, very visible consequences.

[ He doesn't care if anyone hates him. He really doesn't. ]

[ratherdoweddings]

If you're going to say that, then what about people who would kill for those things even if there are consequences? People who don't care if they die?

[fatherofsin]

People are willing to talk like that right up until the consequences have to be faced. I've seen it.

[ratherdoweddings]

There's seriously something wrong with your way of thinking. Nobody's going to let you get away with that except the people who just don't care.

[fatherofsin]

Whatever helps you sleep at night, Miss Yurika. I've seen enough people die with hope on their lips that I've long since realized that it's simply not how humans work.

[ratherdoweddings]

Even that still doesn't mean it's all a lie. I'm sure there's even good in your world, no matter how much pain there is.

[fatherofsin]

...Five minutes. That's how long you'd last, if you're lucky. What little good exists in Evillious is quickly stamped out or made to suffer for eternity.

[ratherdoweddings]

Well, I'm flattered that you think I'm a good person, but I'm sure it can't be that bad! Besides, we've all lasted more than five minutes here, so we aren't in your world in the first place!
