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! ))

They're... gone. Defeated.

[she curls into herself a little bit]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Oh... that's... a good thing.. right?

[It... isn't.. is it?]

[newcycle]

Yeah, of course...

[she glances up, and then looks down and chokes back a sob]

I-It definitely is...!

[she rubs at her eyes furiously]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Hey- aw shit!

[Just let her quickly go over and start patting Korra on the back.]

Okay, it's bad thing then, but, what exactly happened?

[newcycle]

[THIS IS THE HARD PART...]

They-- put some sort of... metal poison in my body. To force me to go into the Avatar state, and kill me while I was there.

[god thanks zombina, she's realizing how hard it is to talk]

The Red Lotus, t-they had me chained up, but I got free and... all I could focus on was Zaheer.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

[Zombina gets visibly angry as she hears all this. Eyes narrowing and teeth clenching. She doesn't know what an Avatar state is, but whatever.]

..... those absolute fuckers! Why the fuck did these Red Lotus dipshits and this Zaheer jackass wanna do all that ta ya! What the fuck did they have against ya of all people!

[Korra is good people. Zombina finds it hard to grasp the idea of someone not liking her that much.]

[newcycle]

It's... their philosophy. I don't get it either.

[but also-- she can't really continue, so she tries to take a steadying breath.]

Anyway... They're gone. They're gone.

[it's a little like a mantra to her.]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

If there philosophy leads ta hurtin' ya Korra, then their philosophy is bullshit!

[Zombina... just tries to pull her into a hug. She's not the best hugger-being a corpse and all-, but by god she's trying to comfort her friend and she'll do the best damn job she can!]

They better be gone! If they ain't, then I'm not lettin' 'em get near ya if those fuckfaces try that shit again!

[newcycle]

[a small smile, and she tries to relax, but she's on edge.

And honestly, she wants to talk about something else]

So... what about you...? If you still want to share.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Me? Oh well, s' nothing in comparison ta yours. 'S just got stepped on by an giant tree monster thing. That's all.

[Zombina don't try and wave off your worries as minor. THATS KINDA A BIG DEAL?]

[newcycle]

That... sounds pretty serious.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

....Okay it might be.

[Zombina sighs and looks at the celieng.]

Ya want the long version or the short version of how and why that happened?

[newcycle]

Whichever's easier to understand? Or... whichever makes you feel better.
