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.]

...no, it's. Not like that for me. You'd need a sense of smell for that.

[The field in which she plants her fucks has gone barren, Akira. Mostly, anyway. Home now only to old, nagging paranoia and the occasional weed.]

But- I know how you feel. I miss home too. My father, and Mister Ironwood, and Ruby.

[le_mat]

...you know, I've seen how people in your home fight. But not much about the rest of it. Maybe talking about our homes will help.

[in4apounding]

You think? Well- Vale is where I was right before we got here. It's so beautiful and colorful there, there's lots of brickwork, and Beacon Academy is built like this huge wonderful castle with a big clocktower at the center. That's where the Vytal Festival is being held, and where I met Ruby.

[And it's not really her home, so why is that where her mind went first? Something- Slaine had said? ...huh. Well, that's. Something to think about later, maybe.]

Um- but I'm really from Atlas. That's where my father-

[Deep breath, metaphorically.]

That's where he built me.

[le_mat]

...

[Akira smiles- he guessed she was either a robot or a cyborg already. But it's nice that Penny trusts him enough to tell him outright]

It sounds beautiful.

[in4apounding]

...It is.

[Okay. Okay. Good? She thinks.]

What about your home?

[le_mat]

Well, there's my home and there's Tokyo. My profile says I'm from Towadako, but it actually doesn't really exist anymore- it merged with Towada when I was little. It's small, and we have a big lake that's really pretty... but it's not exactly impressive.

[in4apounding]

No, it sounds really great. I've never gotten to spend much time around water. Or outside the Academy at all.

[le_mat]

Yeah? Hmm...

[He tries to think of home with new eyes. To him it was too small, crushing. Full of cruel eyes and loose tongues. But maybe, to Penny]

Well, there's a lot of farm land too- just fields and fields of rice and forests. You can see them all swaying together some times, like waves.

[in4apounding]

That sounds absolutely beautiful. Atlas has farms, of course, but the only places I got to see a lot of nature before Vale were parks and things.

What about Tokyo?

[le_mat]

Tokyo... it's like a giant animal, almost. It's always awake and moving. You can feel it rumbling and breathing sometimes, especially at night. It's really a whole different world from anywhere else I've ever been. Bright and loud.

[in4apounding]

I'd love to see it. Is it really colorful? It sounds colorful.

[le_mat]

Hell yeah it is. There's always lights and screens going. And all kinds of people. At night it looks like it's made of stars.

...you can't see the real stars though. I do miss that, from back in the country.

[in4apounding]

It sounds wonderful anyway. It AND Towada. And I'd love to show you Atlas and Vale. The stars were VERY clear there.

[le_mat]

... I wonder if the stars look different. You know, in different worlds?

[in4apounding]

Probably? I don't- really know constellations or anything, but that would make sense.

[le_mat]

I wanna see them all. All the stars in everyone's elses' worlds.

[in4apounding]

Me too. And I want everyone to meet Ruby, and tell her about everyone that- everyone else.
