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

I wasn’t gonna make you cut your own steak, man.

[He will let you hold your own cup though.]

And before you say anything, you’re hurt. [let people cut your food if they need to]

[playthedamncard]

[He still has some dignity. Somewhere.] Really? I'm hurt? I didn't notice.

[theundertaken]

Ooooooh. Man, I hate to tell you, but the diagnosis is in. You got a big ol' boo-boo.

[playthedamncard]

Aw, man, someone should kiss it better.

Not you. Noooot my type, sorry.

[theundertaken]

Dude, I hope not, I'm like twice your age. [Gross, he could literally be your dad if he did something dumb in high school.] I'll push your bed over next to Akira's, though.

[playthedamncard]

Nooooooooo, I'll dump this water on you.

[theundertaken]

Allllright, I won't. You have any idea when you last took the pills?

[playthedamncard]

[He laughs, tired as hell.] You think I've been keeping track of time lately? Is it even still Monday?

[theundertaken]

Not really, but I thought I'd ask.

[He writes something down on a piece of paper nearby - it just says FUCKING WRITE DOWN WHEN YOU GIVE THEM THE STRONG MEDS HERE - and goes over to retrieve the cup.]

It's Tuesday now. They didn't come over to give the incentive - all that shit must've put them off the idea.

[playthedamncard]

I saw Dudely. Yuri might've died for nothing, but he did some great damage when he went I see. Heh, I see...

[theundertaken]

...heh, yeah.

[Max saw it too close for comfort. He'd have probably felt better about it if it were on Rox? His feelings towards Dudely aren't nearly as strong, and it was such an ugly wound...]

It was Rox anyway. Maybe he left.

[playthedamncard]

We were so close. She's got a new phone. Maybe they just regenerate? We were this close.

[He sits up suddenly, and then eases himself back down from the surge of lightheadedness from the move.] The arms--the computers, you can get punished through them, she doesn't have to shoot you or touch you--she didn't have to send Dudely, she could've shocked him.

[theundertaken]

She probably just bought another one - woah, woah, hey.

[He puts a hand on Kaiba's shoulder, not really to push him down but just to sort of make sure he stays there.]

The PIPs? That's... [Shit. Fuck. That's really bad. Also does that mean she sent Blaze just for shits and giggles?] ...that's good to know, thanks.

[playthedamncard]

We didn't even touch her, we didn't get there, she just-- [Whether his fingers twitch in memory or as a wordless example, he doesn't indicate.]

[theundertaken]

Mmmm.

[The motion is unnerving, so he pats the hand real quick.]

I guess it’s not all that surprising. Seems like she’d want that level of control.

[playthedamncard]

I got her, though. We did. Emotionally. Stupid, she would've let us go with a warning. [He settles down some with a very tired laugh with no humor in it.] Now we're the warning.

[theundertaken]

...I’m just glad you’re both still with us.

[playthedamncard]

Did he--did he leave letters behind? Yuri. Did he leave stupid dead letters behind to make us all upset?

[theundertaken]

........um. Yeah.

[playthedamncard]

He hugged me. That was bad enough. I wanna read it. Not now. I'll take it now but I won't read it now. Now's not good.

[theundertaken]

...okay. I can go get it. Stay awake 'til I'm back?

[playthedamncard]

Nnnnno promises.

[theundertaken]

Ha, I'll try and make it quick.

[It's like two minutes tops, the teleporter instead of stairs really helps tbh]

[playthedamncard]

[it's the longest two minutes everrrr and even in those two minutes by the time he gets back, Kaiba's waggling his good hand in front of his face. Hard to tell if he's just hopped up on the good shit, testing range of motion, or testing range of sight, but...por que no los tres honestly.]

[theundertaken]

[Max smiles a little, but quickly suppresses it.]

Here. I brought Akira's, too. I'm gonna just put it by his bed, let him know when he wakes up?

[It's really likely Kaiba will either forget or fall asleep but honestly it doesn't matter, it's a paper with Akira's name on it sitting a foot from his head. He'll find it.]
