Week 5

[In a tragic yet seemingly inevitable turn of fate, the Champions have lost Zombina this week. OsoKaramatsu and Korra, too, are gone, both having fallen in their attempts to help their fellow Champions out of terrible circumstances.

Again, the Champions will find themselves experiencing strange dreams on Sunday night, until they're awakened by C.E.C.E.'s announcement. This is all starting to become routine.]

Congratulations, Champions! By surviving your third trial, you have unlocked the fourth floor of the ship. A new mini map has been added to your P.I.P.!

[The trash compactor is completely shiny and new again. In addition, the profiles on the P.I.P.s still inticate that Karamatsu is dead. Because of course he is, right?

Fuck you.]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday



(( Welcome to Week 5! Don't forget to check in and submit your memory regains! Turn in your benefactor threads for sweet loot, too! ))

[He only stops long enough to look back at Akira before continuing on.]

If there's another trial. [If. There might not be. It depends on what happens here.] Do you not want me to stop you?

[le_mat]

[Akira too pauses, giving this the thought it deserves]

Only if you honestly think I can't win. I'll leave it to your desecration.

[airlockedmods]

Hello, Champions. I do not think you have clearance to be on this side of the station.

[what up, boys, its ya girl CECE on your PIPs.]

[playthedamncard]

[o shit whaddup, that's a good interruption to this...whatever this is.] I think we do. We're allowed to investigate as we please. Nothing has said this side of the station was off limits but a closed door.

We're not big fans of closed doors.

[le_mat]

Exactly. Neither Overseer ever said we COULDN'T come back here, yeah?

[airlockedmods]

[She pauses, calculating a response.]

You are technically correct, Champion of Denial and Champion Trickster, but my databases tell me coming into others' personal quarters uninvited is considered "rude" in many Earth cultures.

Overseer Petuu will not be pleased if she catches you.

[playthedamncard]

Is this entire side of the station their quarters? Not that I've ever minded being rude. I've been worse things.

[Petuu catching them, though, that's what worries him.] CECE, while we're chatting, could you tell us where there might be a control room? [It's worth a shot, k.]

[le_mat]

It would get us out of their area faster, then we wouldn't be rude anymore.

[airlockedmods]

I could.

[playthedamncard]

Oh har har. Do I have to say please? CECE, please tell us where the control room is.

[le_mat]

I like her, she's funny.

[airlockedmods]

I have learned a lot from observing you all.

[I learned it from watching you!!!]

I have the capability. I do not have the permissions.

[playthedamncard]

Ah. I was afraid of that.

[You know what, he's not gonna try the Champion doors. There's no reason those should open for him...unless they're unlocked for being unoccupied? But he is going to try some of the doors along the other side of the hallway.]

I could help you if only I had access to a computer. I don't supposed you're allowed to tell us where we could find some of those, either.

[le_mat]

That'd be too easy, Hey CECE, do our PIPs open anything over here?

[airlockedmods]

[The doors are all consciously locked.]

I can tell you they're somewhere.

[le_mat]

Tch. Forget it, she can't tell us anything. We're running out of time.

[playthedamncard]

All these doors here seem to be locked. They might have a key to use them or just aren't using them at all. [He had neglected the champion rooms, but there's no harm in trying them now, physically and with the PIPs. And none of those open, either.]

We can't have come here for nothing... [It's loud enough to be heard, but it seems more like he's talking to himself.] There can't be nothing.

[theoverseeing]

[Out of the individual room at the end of the hall comes Rox herself, nose buried in her perfectly intact phone.]

Well, well, well. It looks like Blaze left the door open and let a couple of little birdies fly in.

[playthedamncard]

[Kaiba whirls to face her and already looks ready for a fucking fight if it comes to it.]

Seems your security system is a little shoddy. So, par for the course when it comes to you.

[le_mat]

Honestly I could have broken in here weeks ago.

[he mirrors Kaiba, ready to brawl]

[theoverseeing]

[She doesn't seem to be intimidated by their circling. After all, a shark isn't about to be scared by a couple of minnows.

Upon closer inspection, this phone is very slightly different from the one that was destroyed in Friday's trial.]

Mmmhm. Now what should I do with you, little mice? I can't just let you scurry back thinking that you've successfully dodged the lion's jaws.

[playthedamncard]

[You know what, if she said it was 3D printed, he wouldn't even bat an eye. Or maybe she just has Many Phone. Who knows? Not any the fuck one here. She's still out numbered.]

As we've told your oh so helpful AI, we haven't broken any rules. There's nothing to punish. What you can do is show us the way out of here, but you don't strike me as someone who likes doing anything the easy way.

[le_mat]

Lay a hand on us, and it throws all the rules of this little "experiment" right out the window. But after Karamatsu, I kinda doubt you give a fuck.

[theoverseeing]

"The way out?" It's right back the way you came, of course. You're a smart little boy, you know that.

[She doesn't make any move toward them, just keeps texting.]

[playthedamncard]

You know damn well what I mean. We can even come to an agreement. Make a deal. After all, you're in this just as we are.
