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!]

[The little rocket ships on tracks that bring the food out from holes in the walls just big enough for the rockets to fit through. The tunnels behind the holes are, however, pitch black and as for the rest of the diner there doesn't seem to be any doors for the house elves as it were.]

[Big enough for the rockets and the food, hopefully. But still, did you really think that was going to stop Jane? She squints into one as it brings out another drink - orange juice, this time - and holds the glass with care as she follows the delivery rocket along the track back to its hole. If she presses her ear up to the wall, is it possible for her to hear anything?]

[airlockedmods]

[She hears the hum of machinery, an occasional whoosh of fire, the sound of dishes being done, the frequent hum of a blender and sizzle of a deep fryer...

Kitchen sounds. Just, you know, with no noticeable footsteps or human noises.]

[cyan_maid]

...Hm...

[So...there's a kitchen back there...but most likely run by robots, which she knows are real, okay.

Let's try an experiment.

Keeping her ear to the wall, Jane raps on the wall five times - suspiciously like the first part of "shave and a haircut". Do we get a response?]

[airlockedmods]

[All noise stops for a solid couple of seconds.

And then there's a beep boop in reply.]

[cyan_maid]

...Oh my land.

[That's actually freaking amazing. Jane is still for a few seconds, then raises her fist again to knock seven times, this time to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

Response?]
