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! ))

[When she finally does open the door, she's breathing heavily... like it took her a lot of effort to even get there.

And she very, very much looks a wreck.]

H-Hey...

[quadjumps]

[ jesus. what happened here? he stands up, raises an eyebrow when he sees her, and then walks past her to go in her room. ]

Bad dream?

[newcycle]

No, it's... a memory. It has to be.

[quadjumps]

Sounded like you had a bad time.

[ what happened? ]

[newcycle]

That's... one way to put it.

[she smiles a bit, but there's nothing behind it.]

[quadjumps]

Are you gonna talk about it?

[newcycle]

You want to know?

[there's a hint of disbelief]

[quadjumps]

...You told me not to push people away. So I think the same goes for you, huh?

[newcycle]

... Right.

[she admits slowly, though... honestly? There is a little bit of that impulse. It's something she's never really felt before.]

I remembered someone trying to kill me.

[quadjumps]

[ jesus what is with you people and your scary memories?! ]

What the hell...? That's--do you know why?

[newcycle]

[that is such a loaded question, one that she... doesn't want to share the answer to. So she offers a small shrug.]

Does it really matter...?

[quadjumps]

I just don't understand why anyone would want to kill you.

[newcycle]

It's... Just what I am. The Avatar.

Not everyone likes that there is an Avatar...

[quadjumps]

They're just jealous you can use all four elements. Or maybe they want to rule the world or something like that.

[ nOT HELPING YURI ]

...I don't know. I'm not good at comforting people.

[newcycle]

[she shakes her head.]

I don't think it's that.

It's just that they literally think I don't belong there.

[quadjumps]

...That there shouldn't be an avatar to begin with?

[newcycle]

Yeah, something like that.

That the natural order of the world is chaos... or... Well, you get what I mean.

[finally, she gives up, and sloooowly slides down the frame of her door to her knees.]

[quadjumps]

[ yikes, korra. he says that, scuffs his foot on the ground for a second...and then sits next to her. ]

Will you be okay?

...Never mind, that's a stupid question.

[newcycle]

... Yeah. I will be.

I don't know what it looks like getting there... but I'll be fine.

[quadjumps]

Just...

Don't do anything stupid, while you're at it.

[newcycle]

... You've come a really, really long way since the beginning, Yuri.

[she nudges her shoulder against his]

[quadjumps]

Huh?

[ ??? ]

What's that supposed to mean?
