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.]

If you hadn't said it I woulda. Only shorter. And filthier.

[playthedamncard]

And then we'd flip the conversation around, because then it'd be your fault. But you didn't say it, I did, and if I wasn't still half paralyzed from that shock, I would have grabbed her fucking phone and maybe stopped all this!

[le_mat]

Would you rather have not tried?

[playthedamncard]

Do or do not, there is no try.

[le_mat]

...did you just quote Star Wars?

[playthedamncard]

You wanna fight about it? It's not a bad way of looking at things.

[le_mat]

I'll fight over Star Wars, don't think I won't. Because it's wrong- trying and failing doesn't equal not doing. That's false equivalence and you're dumb.

Don't tell Max I said Star Wars was wrong. He might not give me anymore drugs.

[playthedamncard]

Trying and failing, trying and losing, you don't always get back up to try again.

And Star Wars isn't wrong, you're wrong, what's wrong with you?

[le_mat]

No, you're right. But intent means something. The world is made of intent.

[That makes no sense without the context of the Metaverse, Akira]

...and Yoda was kinda an asshole.

[playthedamncard]

...Yeah, kind of was. Great puppetry, though. Practical effects really hold up, and I'm, I make special effects happen, so, kudos to Henson.

[What were they talking about again?]

Intent is just...platitudes. Didn't mean to get you hurt doesn't change you getting hurt.

[le_mat]

No, it doesn't. But you didn't swing that sword. And it was my idea to go in there. My arguing that gave Korra the time to rile herself up to attack Petuu. You can't take all this bullshit on yourself, damn it...

I forgive you, is that what you need to hear?

[playthedamncard]

No, it's--

I have to take some responsibility. If you spat and hissed and cursed like a cat, she might not've...

I'm supposed to talk you down from this stupid shit, not try to one-up you on it!

[le_mat]

Then we'll do better next time.

[He sighs, tired. His head is too fuzzy to get up a good rage]

We gotta.

[playthedamncard]

[He looks and sounds like he's about to argue, but--but then he deflates. This is exhausting. Existing is exhausting. This isn't worth it. What's done is done. The regret motive is far behind them.]

...Thanks for having my back. [Getting his cue. Working together.]

[le_mat]

[he smiles weakly]

No problem. It's good to be... part of a team again.
