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

[Everything in here is either too fragile or too useful to damage, so he doesn't throw or kick anything even if the urge is there. He just balls his shaking fists.]

She was always meant to die. It was just a matter of when.

[in4apounding]

She didn't deserve that. She was- a real person, and they just- just-

They're CHEATING.

[playthedamncard]

The rules are a joke. Barely there, flimsy, poorly worded. And we're all just pieces in some ridiculous game.

[in4apounding]

That's- just- ...I swear I'm going to kill them.

[playthedamncard]

I'll gladly go back home a killer if it's them. A taste of their own medicine.

...Polendina. You could survive a bullet wound, couldn't you?

[in4apounding]

[She hesitates, just a second, at the question. Kaiba had sworn her origins wouldn't matter to anyone here, but he was still the one who'd started pursuing the line of inquiry during a trial to begin with.]

[And he was, by his own admission, fairly intimidating.]

[But this was about taking down the Overseers- taking down Rox Petuu, the woman who took such glee in robbing them of their loved ones.]

...I think so, yes. If it were the same kind of ammunition she used against Chloe. ...it wouldn't be GOOD, but I could survive.

[playthedamncard]

[He wants to elaborate on the idea, but he has to assume there are cameras here, too. He even makes a deliberate point to look before landing his gaze back on her.] Good. Keep that in mind for Monday. We're making a plan. We'll get out of here, one way or another.

[yeah about that]

[in4apounding]

Good. I want to see the end of what Korra started. Before that- WOMAN can hurt anyone else.

[playthedamncard]

You might be just as capable as she was. Not in ability to psychically manipulate the four elements, but in power and in strength of will. We'll need you. [He told Akira later, and he meant it.]

[in4apounding]

...thank you Mister Kaiba. I said when we got here that I'd get everyone out, and- I can't do that anymore, but I'm going to get everyone out that I can.

[playthedamncard]

I think we've all been keeping promises he can't keep lately. But we do what we can, the best that we can. To do any less would spit on their memories.

[in4apounding]

I'm going to get out of here. And I'm going to remember every single person here, especially the ones we lost, and I'm going to tell Ruby all about them. That's one promise I am absolutely going to keep.

[playthedamncard]

...You're fighting to get back to someone.

[in4apounding]

Mhm. Ruby, my friend.

[Let her tell you about the power of friendship, Kaiba.]

And my father, and Mister Ironwood, and my tournament match against Pyrrha Nikos.

[playthedamncard]

Do you think they'll even believe you about what happened? It's going to sound like a wild dream.

[in4apounding]

Yes. Ruby's the best friend anyone could ever ask for, and I know my father and Mister Ironwood trust me.

[Also, Kaiba. Buddy. Pal.]

[I don't know if you've noticed.]

[But she can't lie without hiccuping.]

[It's KIND OF an obvious b tell.]

[playthedamncard]

[oh he has noticed and has called her out on it before so...she believes what she's saying, at any rate.]

Good. Get back to them safely. We'll all make sure you do.

[in4apounding]

Thank you, but- you must have people to get back to too, right?

[playthedamncard]

[He moves to another one of the cabinets of supplies, poking through it. A distraction. He's down one person to get back to, now, isn't he-?]

I'm getting back to my brother no matter what it takes.

[in4apounding]

Then I'll make sure you do, too.
