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!]

Well, that's the problem--I don't know if they are. [ She frowns. ] I'd usually be able to tell, but I can't.

My, er-- [ how to put this in a way Thomasin might understand better? ] ...sixth sense has been removed.

[curdle]

I was always taught that could not be. But neither could any of this.

[ She's just... she's just gonna go with it. ]

Um, what would you do, had you that power? And if they lingered?

[yukionna]

Ideally, contact my superiors at the Soul Society and have them assist us in getting the hell out of here.

[ Because if she can sense spirits again she could send a Hell Butterfly SOS. ]

But if you just mean locally, I don't know. Maybe ask them what it's like over there. See if they can go places we can't, right now.

[curdle]

Could naught be done to bring them to rest?

[ But that's a point, if they're following the premise that souls can stay after death, and not immediately go to heaven or hell. Where would they be able to wander? ]

[yukionna]

Not that I know of, unfortunately. I'd need my zanpak--er, my sword, to do a Soul Burial.

[curdle]

Then I pray they don't. [ Linger. ] To be trapped and forced to bear witness to this, with none to hear or see, would be a cruelty to them as have already suffered.

May I ask [ r u a demon ] what it is you do?

[yukionna]

No, that certainly wouldn't be a fitting afterlife. [ understatement of the year ]

I'm a Soul Reaper. We guide spirits to the afterlife and cleanse malevolent ones.

[ so, more like a demon-killer ]

[curdle]

[ well that's better? right? it's better?? ]

You look not like... [ She pauses and sort of frowns. ] Well, I suppose I can't know what such a being should look like. I would not speak in rude ignorance to thee -- 'tis just that I was ever taught none such existed.
