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

[Karamatsu is a Guilty Guy. He'll probably be holding onto that guilt for some time, too.]

...I apologize for, ah...cursing, at you. As well. I would not have, especially not to a lady, but...

[YOU KNOW...OSOMATSU...]

[lovecolored]

[ alright that gets her to chuckle a little ]

Outta every 'lady' here, I think I'm the one you gotta worry about the least. I ain't mad.

[ seeing as she acts like a frat boy and curses every other sentence ]

[karappo]

[That's true...her being so easy going about this does help him relax somewhat.]

I am glad. I am just...doing what I can to make amends.

[ Marisa sighs and walks into the room properly, looking him in the eye. ]

Listen, 'kay? [ ... ] It ain't my issue to judge. I don't understand what you two were thinkin' that night, and I don't think I ever will--I don't have any siblings, and I'm not really that close to my family. Even the death thing itself is muddy--like, in what universe is assisted suicide considered all the fault'a the person pushin' the final button? That's ludicrous. This whole thing is ludicrous.

But you're beatin' yourself up enough as it is. If Red loved ya enough to sacrifice himself for ya, I don't think he'd wanna see ya like this, right? Plus, after everythin' that's happened today and yesterday [ LOOKING AT YOU, TEEN BOY DISASTER SQUAD ], it's like, the worst time for any of us to be startin' fights and holdin' grudges. Ya see what I mean?

[ she pauses, realizing she was kind of rambling, and tries to collect her thoughts. one month into space murder and she's still bad at feelings. SHE'S TRYING THOUGH. ]

...basically, I mean we're good. I'd be lyin' again if I said "I understand", but lemme be one less thing ya gotta worry about makin' up for. I'm not gonna be passin' any moral judgement. Slate's clean, ze.

[karappo]

[Karamatsu falls silent, leaning a little on the guitar as he listens to Marisa speak. It might be a lot at once, but it's...still a lot that Karamatsu needed to hear. That the slate is clean, so to speak. Everyone else here is willing to move on despite what happened, given the circumstances, so why shouldn't he? Even if Karamatsu will never be able to forgive himself for it.

But then again, maybe forgiveness isn't what he's looking for, nor understanding.

His eyes dart a little before he manages to look over to her again, leaning back a bit in his seat.]

I suppose...it is hard to remind myself that we are not in normal circumstances, here. None of us would be doing what we have if we weren't being tortured, forced to live so far away from home. And the restrictions put on us every week- [IE, motives] -the scales are not exactly tipped in our favor.

[His expression darkens.]

It is as if Petuu wants nothing more than for all of us to die. And for what purpose?
