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.]

You're rearranging Japan's politics.

[le_mat]

Yeah, but I've only been doing that for like, 10 months.

[playthedamncard]

A lot can happen in ten months.

A lot can happen in [hold on mental math] one month.

[le_mat]

[He snorts]

You can say that again. I don't think any of us are the same people we were. That's... not all bad though, I guess.

[playthedamncard]

Some of us are dead people now. That's a new frontier. [that's morbid as hell but he thinks it's funny]

[le_mat]

Or the oldest one, 'pending on how you look at it.

[His mouth quirks]

...Hey. Think there's an afterlife?

[le_mat]

...fuck. I dunno. I mean, I wanna think there is. And I've seen stuff that makes me think there's, ya know... something beyond just the physical.

[playthedamncard]

I didn't think--did I tell you about Atem? About the pharaoh in the Puzzle my rival solved and they lived in the same body for a while. He walked through a doorway to the afterlife.

I mean that's what they said, and logically there couldn't've been any space behind that stone, especially not that kind of light, and...so he's gone. And I guess that means he was dead the whole time.

Also real. He was real the whole time too.

[le_mat]

... Well I guess that's as much proof as you'll ever get. Does the idea bother you?

[playthedamncard]

Yes. ...No? What if it means the dead go somewhere. All of them, not just...stupid glittery Egypt royalty.

[le_mat]

What if it does?

[playthedamncard]

It means...it means...it means magic, maybe? And religion? That there's something greater than us, but what could be greater than us?

Also means if I die [if?] there are a buncha people I get to punch in the afterlife face.
