Week 3

[Two weeks in, and all at once four people are dead. Chitose, Miki, Lucina, and Tsurugi - whatever the circumstances, however any of you may feel, their rooms are just as empty at the end of the week. If you check your P.I.P.s, you'll find that their pictures on the profile page have gone monochrome.

C.E.C.E.'s morning announcement comes like clockwork on Sunday. This time, though, there's an addendum to her usual message:]

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.

[In addition to the new floor, the Champions will find that they've gained another memory this week.]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday



(( Welcome to Week 3! Don't forget to check in and submit your memory regains! Turn in your benefactor threads for sweet loot, too! ))

Zero-G Room

[in4apounding]

Roxy! Do you need help?!

[You are being approached by a concerned young woman in a simple white dress... and a very fluffy regain blanket currently being worn as a cloak. Have fun with that.]

[lmafo]

Could you uh... turn the gravity back on? Also that cape is really cute.

[in4apounding]

Of course!

[And taking a second to read over any instructions or helpful pictograms by the controls.]

And- thank you. It reminded me of someone from home. My friend.

[Here comes the gravity, hope you're not too high up, Roxy.]

[lmafo]

It suits you.

[ AND SHE CRASHES TO THE GROUND ON TOP OF RURI'S KNIFE, RIP IN REST- no actually it's fine, they're both fine. ]

Thanks. Poor Ruri doesn't do too well off the ground, I guess.

[in4apounding]

You think so?

[And then Penny wore shitty blanket-capes forever, the end.]

[She squats down, holding out a hand for Ruri like it's an unfamiliar dog.]

She probably has a hard time moving, I'd think.

[lmafo]

[ Live your gay robot dreams, Penny Polendina. ]

For sure. Capes are cool.

Yeah, probs. Freaks her out, poor thing.

[in4apounding]

Ruby is pretty cool, yes.

[She gets a little quiet for a second.]

...You're pretty cool too. I think you'd like her.

[lmafo]

Aw, thanks. I'd like to meet her.

[ She has a four letter name, like a normal damn human ]

[in4apounding]

[Yeah, but so does her surname, it's weird.]

I'm definitely going to tell her all about you. And everyone here. ...And Lucina. I promised.

[Well, there's that. Penny tugs her cape a little tighter for a second.]

...Roxy. Can I ask you something? ...Besides asking if I can ask something.

[lmafo]

Sounds good.

[ She pats Ruri and smiles up at Penny. ]

Sure, what's up?

[in4apounding]

[She hesitates just a second.]

...Are we friends?

[lmafo]

[ No hesitation. ]

Yeah, for sure.

[in4apounding]

Oh- oh gosh, thank you-

[She sounds about ready to weep from joy.]

I'd hoped, but- I didn't really have many friends, at home. Just Ruby- and she's fantastic!- but everyone here has just- been so-

[lmafo]

Aw, Penny. Yeah, no, we're totes friends. Promise.

[in4apounding]

To-? Oh, I get it! Like "totally", right? Completely.

[She laughs a little.]

[lmafo]

Yeah, exactly! Totes, even.

[in4apounding]

Well then, I'm 'totes' glad to have met a friend like you, Roxy!

[She learned a thing.]

Even, um. Here. ...No, actually. ESPECIALLY someplace like here.

[lmafo]

I like to think I'm pretty good at the whole friendship enterprise. Glad to be your friend, Penny.

[in4apounding]

Me too.

[Another little laugh.]

...Do you want to try turning the power on again? I could watch Ruri- at the door, I mean, so she doesn't srart floating and get upset again.

[lmafo]

You sure? The whole floating around thing is pretty sweet if I do say so myself.

[in4apounding]

We could take turns? Or do you think Ruri would stay out of- um, the zero gravity part, on her own?
