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!]

[decarded]

Perhaps, but there's still a future ahead of you. I cannot say the same for myself.

[voltrounds]

Then--you can share mine!

[decarded]

I—

What do you mean?

[voltrounds]

[Okay she actually just kind of blurted that out but okay she's figuring this out.]

When we get out of here, just... don't go back. Come with me, instead.

[decarded]

...I don't know if that's possible. I—

[She's actually a bit taken aback, and it takes her a moment to collect herself.]

My world is dying. It would be irresponsible to abandon it.

[Which is...at least part of what she meant, about not having a future.]

[voltrounds]

Then... that can be your purpose, right? Finding a way to save your world?

[Hm...]

Or maybe you can do both. My world was dying, too. Maybe it has the answers you'll need.

[decarded]

It always has been. My family has been searching for a way to fix things for years.

[Even if she was discarded, she can't help that feeling of responsibility. Especially not with everything her brother had struggled through—]

...What happened, to yours?

[voltrounds]

...we didn't take good care of it. We completely ruined Earth's environment. It took a thousand years to repair the damage we'd done, and even that had dangerous consequences.

[Sigh.]

That's why I'm the Champion of Suspended Animation.

[decarded]

I see.

My Earth...was ravaged by a natural disaster. It shifted the planet from its original axis. Plants began to die, and then animals. Soon, humans won't be able to sustain themselves with the resources remaining.

[voltrounds]

...I don't think Yggdrasil as it was ultimately designed would help, but it's definitely an environmental problem. I'm sure the original research would be helpful. When I get back, I'll ask M.I.K.E. for everything he has.

[decarded]

[Angelica isn't very optimistic about their chances of getting out of here alive. But... She'll let Ricky have this one.]

Thank you.

[voltrounds]

You don't have to do anything if you don't want to. Just think about it, okay?
