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! ))

You should come back when I have an actual routine. This is just a warmup.

[ actually.... ]

Or I can just show you one on my phone.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Haha, I'll remember ta do just that then!

[Zombina looks interested at the offer.]

Oooor that works too!

[Show her the skating vids. Maybe you can try and drill some skating knowledge into her head.]

[quadjumps]

[ fine. yuri skates over to her, phone in hand, and he pulls out what appears to be a 2-minute video titled "On Love: Agape". it's clearly a performance, as yuri's dressed and ready to perform.

his moves are fluid, but the problem with this video is that he doesn't appear to truly understand the meaning of the song. he's not emotionally invested, even if his technical skills are superior. zombina may or may not notice it, but...some of the moves look familiar. yuri was practicing them earlier! ]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Huh. Is some of this what ya were practicin' earlier?

[She doesn't really know much about skating, but feelings on the other hand..]

So "On Love:Agape" huh? It's real fucking impressive Yuri-kun!, but uh, no offense, but Where's the love? I mean, I'm a total noob, and it looks like ya got the moves down and shit, but there's like, supposed ta be emotion and stuff too, right?

[She may or may have not attempted to skim a few skating books in the library. Keyword being attempt. She tried!]

[quadjumps]

Yeah. Sort of--

[ he's ready to take the compliment, but then zombina is Calling Him Out. yuri pauses, and his face is a cross between being confused and angry--but he doesn't lash out.

he just...takes the phone away. ]

Tch--anyway. That's what I'm working on.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

[She shrugs.]

Hey, I'm just tryin' ta help. I figured that since this is all hella important ta ya, that I should do some research.

[She... tried?]

So, I read up on skatin' a bit in the library! I diiiidn't really get mosta it, but I know it ain't just technical skill. 'Cause if it was, ya would win like eeeeeverytime in my opinion!

[She guesses because it's also a performance? Maybe like theater?]

[quadjumps]

It's not my fault Victor gave me this damn song to skate to!

[ it's clear he's aggravated over it, at least; he can't skate to this sort of soft, gentle music. yuri goes hard. this...isn't what he was expecting. ]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Victor? Who's that, ya coach?

[quadjumps]

Tch--

[ close but no cigar, basically. ]

He should be!

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Sooooo he's not then. Alright, then who's this Victor guy anyway?

[Does she need to punch the dude? She will fite the ice skater if needed.]

[quadjumps]

...The best skater in the world.

[ AGHHH YURI HATES THIS ]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

And he made ya this routine?! Man, talk about connections! So what's he like?

[quadjumps]

Annoying.

[ he says that, yet...there's a nostalgic tone to it, too. ]

He always managed to win every Grand Prix Final, but he doesn't surprise anyone anymore. He's losing his spark.

[ ... ] Victor made that stupid Katsudon and I compete to win him over. Whoever surprised him the most--he'd do whatever the winner wanted him to do.

I have to win.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Katsudon? That another skater?

[Zombina takes this in very seriously.]

....Whatever the winner wanted him ta do huh, well I know what the other guy's goin' for if he's good lookin'~!

[Zombina you better stop wiggling those eyebrows this instant!]

Haha, but no seriously, whaddya wanna ask him ta do?

[quadjumps]

Oh my god, don't make me puke!

[ YUURI AND VICTOR?? haha no way like that's happening right....right......... ]

I want him to come back to Russia with me.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Ah riiight, I forget that some of ya haven't grown out of the believing in cooties stage yet~! Don't worry Yuri-kun, I'm sure you'll find someone too~!

[ ZOMBINA! ]

Of course, I'm gonna hafta vet 'em first! Only the best for ya!

[WOAMAN!]

Haha, so was he was originally from Russia, huh? So what 'caused him ta go outta Russia in the first place?

[quadjumps]

[ BLEH!! ] Like that'll ever happen. I have my career to focus on. A lover would just drag me down!

[ you say that now but it's just because you haven't remembered otabek ]

He saw that dumb pig skating to one of his former routines. I guess he liked it or something, so he went all the way to fucking Hasetsu to coach him.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Ya never know what'll happen Yuri~! Love's the kinda thing that can hit ya outta nowhere! Like BAM!

[Zombina is going to have to use all 5'3 of her height to try and intimidate the tall Otabek. Gotta make sure he treats the baby bro right, otherwise there will be p r o b l e m s]

Sounds like love at first sight ta me~! Or y'know, him seein' potential and wanting ta make sure it didn't go ta waste. Maybe both~!

[quadjumps]

Hah! Like I said, that's nothing but a distraction!

[ PLEASE DO!!! otabek is a sweetheart he'll make you proud sis ]

Fuck no! To both of those! I'll show Victor who's really deserving of that gold medal!

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Ya never know! Maybe ya've already met someone and ya just don't remember yet? These dreams have been preeeety crazy~! Maybe tall dark and handsome's already swept ya off your feet!

[Golden end is Zombina interrogating Otabek on how to treat Yuri right, confirmed. She can be bad cop,
Prompto can be good cop.]

I'll hafta be there ta cheer ya on then! I'll be the loudest one there~!

[quadjumps]

No way in hell.

[ PERFECT. please interrogate otabek make it official ]

You're damn right you will! When I prove to Victor that I'm more than capable, he'll regret ever making me compete against Yuuri Katsuki to begin with!

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Oho? Are ya willing ta make a bet on that~?

[If there is an golden end mingle and she get's told about Otabek at somepoint, than it shall be done.]

Katsuki-kun's got the same name as ya huh? That must make things annoyin' when ya are in the same room. He gotta nickname or somethin'?

[Yuri can be Yuri, and Yuuri can be Yurio to her. :/]
