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!]

No...you don't have to be sorry. It's just. It's like a flood or earthquake, it's no one's fault.

[Except the people who made it but she couldn't find them.]

We were, yeah. We found Miki on a trip outside the school but.. Well. We had to leave it about a week or so before I woke up here. Now it's just the four of us.

[Wait. Shouldn't that be five?]

[...Yeah, it should.]

Four? But...you, Miki, the two girls on the roof, the teacher...that's five, isn't it?

Megu-nee--I mean, Miss Sakura, she.

[Kurumi slouches down against the wall, eyes drifting closed. She hadn't mentioned the teacher before to anyone here. She slipped.]

A few months before we met Miki, she got bit.

[...Jane looks down at her lap.]

I'm sorry.

[Shit. Damn. Damn shit. Part of Jane is...a little relieved that this isn't her own life, but...the other part can't help but feel a bit hurt on the inside. Kurumi was a nice girl, a loyal person. She shouldn't have such a world to go back to, no one should. But it must be difficult for her to be here, Jane thinks, with holes in everyone's memories and no way of knowing if her friends are safe.]

[Kurumi gives a long sigh then shakes her head.]

Yeah. It's... It's okay. Things like it happen.

[Some part of her is envious that others live in a relatively zombie-free world. That the club, a group of normal teenagers, had to suffer like that for almost no reason at all. She shakes her head again and stretches.]

Life's full of goodbyes and hellos, I guess.

[She definitely sounds sad, though. Megumi Sakura was a good person. She didn't deserve that.]

["Things like it happen." But they shouldn't. Whatever caused this for Kurumi's home, it must be something awful. If it happened so quickly, then it's not something anyone expected as a possibility. But then again, you could say the same for this space station, and for the people who have already died here and who have yet to die.

Jane reaches out to put a gentle hand on Kurumi's shoulder. The non-injured one, miraculously.] That doesn't mean we have to like it.

[They definitely shouldn't. She wishes she could say more than that, that there shouldn't be this. That they all shouldn't be in a place where this is needed. She wishes she could say that but Kurumi knows that there was no point in trying to think like that.

She pats Jane's arm.] No, we definitely don't.

[She'll withdraw her hand after a moment, folding it with the other one in her lap.]

You know...you know what I think would be a great idea? If we could all get out of here somehow, and just...if people's homes aren't safe, we could...I don't know...relocate them and their friends. I think that wouldn't be out of the question.

[Can we end the teenage suffering? Can we please?]

[She stares at Jane for a moment. What--] Actually? That sounds great. I mean, if the Club wants to leave.

Wh...why wouldn't they want to leave? Wouldn't it be safer for all of you to be in another world entirely?

No idea. I think they'll want to leave but hey, we can't just do something without asking.

Ah...that's true. It'd be rude not to ask.

[She'd offer her Earth but seeing as ~~it's going to be taken over by a fish alien, juggalos, and the ambassador of Flavortown~~ she probably won't be there for a while longer it'd seem silly to do so.]

Right? Can't imagine taking them anywhere they didn't want to go.

I'm sure between all of us, there's a nice place to resettle.

I think that, too.

Yeah! It'll be wonderful, I'm sure.
