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! ))

Nooooot really. I kinda got sidetracked and me and Penny-chan wound up doing some epic collab art of us kicking all kinds of ass on the paper.

[So now you know who is partially responsible for all the drawn out dead grimm that took over the page.]

In my defense, the drawing turned out real fucking awesome.

[Zombina makea a'go on' motion anyway.]

So probation huh? What happened ta land ya that? You're not the kinda person I'd peg as havin' one.

[le_mat]

Guess all it takes is doing the wrong thing to the wrong guy. I was walking home one night, saw this drunk trying to shove a woman in his car. I get in the way, he falls and busts his head.

Didn't know he was a politician. He gets the girl to lie and sues the hell out my parents. Tags me with an assault charge.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Dude.

[Let Zombina just process that for a moment.]

The fuck does that guy think he is!? Ya were doin' the right thing, ain't you're fault he's a fuckin' klutz! What the hell!

[Does Zombina need to punch a filthy politician for you? Zombina thinks she might have to punch a filthy politician for you.]

[le_mat]

I mean, honestly if he had kept pushing I probably woulda punched him. Either way, since I got a violent crime on me my school kicks me out. Shujin, in Tokyo, is the only place that would take me. Mom and dad were tapped, so they couldn't afford to move with me to Tokyo. I end up living with Sojiro-san. If I keep my nose clean it's wiped off my record. If not...

[he shrugs]

Anyways. First day of school I'm trying to find the place and run into a schoolmate, Sakamoto Ryuji. Follow him so I don't get lost and suddenly we just wander into another world, called the Metaverse.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Damn, that's rough.

[Zombina's eyebrows shoot up.]

.... I have no fuckin' clue why this shit is still surprising me. So, you and this Sakamoto-kun are suddenly is this Metaverse place. I gonna get an explantion on what that is, or is that spoilers for the rest of the story? Eh, whatever, continue.

[le_mat]

I didn't know at the time, but it's like... It's like the refection of the real world. It shows the hearts of people and their twisted desires. So like, if you go into a person's part of the Metaverse it reflects how they see the world.

The first time was a castle, cuz it was the section of the Metaverse the belonged to a pervy teacher that thought he owned the place. We call those areas Palaces.

...I know it sounds crazy.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

....Damn. I wonder if that director guy or if any of the people we've dealt with would have places like that.

[Zombina cackles at him saying it sounds crazy. Just.. just let her catch her breath. She weezes a little as she waves a hand dismissively.]

Haha... Akira-kun... You're literally talkin' ta a zombie from another world in a zero-gravity room while we're in outer space on a Spurder Station that throws fucked up kangaroo trials after coercin' one of us ta kill another.

[Spurder. Space Murder. Also it looks like she's decided to switch to first name. Success?]

What you're sayin' sounds waaaaay more plausible ta me. Then again, I think I'm willin' ta believe just about anything after all this.

[le_mat]

... Well hell, when you put it that way.

[he bursts out laughing at that]

I could say anything and it'd be less weird then here. Anyways, that Palace is where I met Morgana. He was trapped inside and we let him out. He's the one that told us how the Metaverse works.

... And what we could do with it.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

That's the spirit Akira-kun!

[Zombina leans in with interest.]

Oooooh. This sounds like it'll be interesting.~ So what could ya do with it? Fuck with their palaces or somethin'?

[le_mat]

Basically. If we break into Palaces of abusers and criminals and steal their twisted desires, then they have to face the things they've done. The people they've abused.

They confess everything.

[made his occupation make much more sense]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Daaaaaamn dude! That's some fucking awesome karmic justice right there! I gotta give ya an high five for where I bet this is going!

[Don't leave her hanging bro, she's got a hand up and everything!]

[le_mat]

[hell yeah high five?!]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

[And then all of r0 died because of the awesome-factor of that high-five. That's why R0 imploded.

THE FUCKING END

We wish. It was just an awesome high five between two sinners. Zombina whoops and throws her arms up.]

Alright, so ya go and steal this assholes twisted desires. So how do ya do that? Literally rip it outta 'em or like, is this some metaphorical bullshit? I mean, ya did say the place was called the Metaverse, so I'm expectin' some real meta-whateverical shit here and there.
