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

Comments

They never saw it COMIIIIING [cw: eye gore]

[airlockedmods]

[After everything happens so much CECE's voice, even as it always is, rings from above in every room on every floor.]

Attention, Champions. Please report to the cafeteria immediately.

[in4apounding]

[Well that's unusual. And probably not good. Here's Penny at a run.]

CECE? Did something happen?

[airlockedmods]

There has been an incident. The Champion of Denial and Champion Trickster are in need of immediate medical attention.

[in4apounding]

What-? No, no no no no no!

[Yeah, let's just. Sprint for the cafeteria. A lot.]

[lmafo]

Oh shit, what the fuck?

[ TIME TO HELP THIS TRASH FIRE SHE GUESSES god this week sucks ]

[unhappylittletrees]

What the fuck is going on?! [OH LOOK, AN ACTUAL ADULT IN THIS SEA OF CHILDREN.]

[karappo]

[Karamatsu had been just staying in Akira's room, but talks with several of the surviving few on the ship had shaken him back to life, somewhat. He hears Penny run past the door after CECE's announcement, and he gets up and rushes out without thinking.]

Penny-chan? What is going on?

[in4apounding]

AKIRA AND MISTER KAIBA ARE HURT-!

[Yeah, she's running. Fortunately it's just to the cafeteria, for now.]

[karappo]

[Oh Jesus Christ-

Karamatsu doesn't stop to ask, he just rushes after her as quickly as he can keep up, his heart leaping frantically into his throat. He can't even fathom what could have happened, but he's afraid to see.]

[le_mat]

[heres 1 slightly less intact crimeboy under Blaze's manly arm. His glasses are missing, and his mop of hair is hiding his face. But there a distinct smell of burning.

His voice gave out from screaming earlier, and now he's down to barely conscious whimpers]

[karappo]

[Karamatsu skids into the cafeteria following Penny, very nearly tripping up on the slick floor as Blaze hauls two prone forms in under each arm. It's alarming enough that he is carrying them, but when Karamatsu gets close enough...that smell hits him, and he almost can't come any closer. It's so much like-

He shakes his head and pushes forward anyway, over to Akira where he bends down slightly in front of him, afraid to touch him yet trying to figure out where and how he's been hurt.]

Akira-? Akira!

[Then he looks to Blaze, his voice more panicked than it has time to be angry. He wants to ask what happened, but. What doesn't matter, not right now.]

We need to get them to the infirmary right now.

[theundertaken]

Help me.

[Max moves on instinct, but it’s a good one - carrying Akira is an iffy proposition, but Kaiba is bigger and even less likely. He darts to Akira’s side then, looking up into Blaze’s face for a moment (jaw tightening at the sight of his eye) before turning his face to Karamatsu.]

Help me carry him, the rest of you get Kaiba.

[dejabrew]

I’ve got Kaiba. Let’s go.

[theundertaken]

[Max nods, taking Akira as much as he can and leaving Karamatsu to grab his other side. Good thing the teleporter is right there, and the infirmary's not far from that once you get upstairs.]

[karappo]

[Karamatsu carefully lifts what bit of Akira Max isn't handling, muttering to him under his breath as they quickly usher him to the teleporter.]

It is alright. We've got you. It...it is going to be alright.

[It has to be. It has to be alright. No more.]

cw: eye gore

[playthedamncard]

[And under Blaze's other arm, a tall boy reduced to raw noises of pain, louder than Akira, writhing a little in the grip. There's definitely blood still drying on his upper lip, and, yeah, looks like at the very least his nose got busted like someone punched him in the face. about time Like Akira, his bangs fall in his face--but unlike Akira, his bangs are pretty much always in his face, so now it's like he got an uneven haircut. Burnt hair, burnt skin, if he stays still for a moment, it looks like the entire area where there would normally be a left eye is charred.]

[dejabrew]

[Hey noodle boy remember when you were talking shit to nerdy coffee uncle?

When Blaze sets Kaiba down, Bolton picks him up, trying not to jostle him more than he’s squirming already, folding the tall beanpole up in his arms with a minimal grunt of effort.]

You’re okay, I’ve got you.

[playthedamncard]

[He whimpers, and though he seems incapable of staying entirely still, the squirming dies down. His arms flex, like he's making several abortive attempts to reach for something, but his nerve endings are still shot. His single blue eye is wide and darting, and his cheek is damp.

As he's carried, he gasps and gags a few times, trying to dig out coherency, willing a word to come out in the midst of everything overloaded, and the only choked word that comes out:] --kira--

[dejabrew]

[Bolton looks down in surprise, that even in this much pain he managed to speak, let alone worry about Akira.]

We’ve got him too. We’re gonna get both of you fixed up, just stay with me, okay?

[playthedamncard]

[He's hardly calm, hardly capable of it with his face on fire and next best thing to blind and numb and feeling too much and too little at the same time--but that knowledge trickles in slowly, and it's the best that can be done right now. Is his somewhat lesser amount of squirming knowing that Akira's being helped (that he's alive), or just the psychological and physiological shock starting to settle in?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯]
