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

Thank you.

[She almost, but not quite, sags in relief.]

I think she'll help us as much as she can. She doesn't want to be stuck here anymore. I- know what that's like, a little.

...And she's my friend.

[playthedamncard]

I can't say I've made friends with her. But she has a sense of humor. You don't see that in every AI running a computerized game of murder.

[in4apounding]

It's not her fault the Overseers have been making her do the executions.

[u wanna go m8, she'll go]

[playthedamncard]

No, it's all the limitations and extraneous nonsense they've plugged into her. I believe she might have actually been helpful to me and to Akira behind the door, but she literally wasn't able to. In some ways, she's as much a victim as we are.

[in4apounding]

...almost more than. She can't even move around. She just has to watch everything.

[playthedamncard]

We don't know if she was designed specifically for this or not, either.

[in4apounding]

I don't think she was. I don't want to say why, it's kind of private- but I think she might have been brought here like us.

...I mean not EXACTLY like us, but. I'm not sure she was made here.

[playthedamncard]

It would explain the blocks in place to keep her from telling us everything.

I can make no promises, except that if I'm given the chance, I'll try.

[in4apounding]

Thank you. That means a lot. ...I was going to ask Roxy too, she's good with computers.

[playthedamncard]

I'm better. [He didn't even know Roxy was good with computers, but that does not deter his fact of an opinion.] Have you talked to her about this? CECE, I mean.

[in4apounding]

Not yet, no. With- Zombina and Korra and everything...

[playthedamncard]

Well, she can hear everything we say anyway. And if we get out, there's not much Petuu and Dudely can do to stop us. Unless she's still capable of shocking us all, then we might be in trouble.

[in4apounding]

Oh. Oh! No, I meant I haven't gotten to talk to Roxy yet. I've definitely talked to CECE, she was the first one I asked.

[playthedamncard]

Oh good. I just hoped you didn't come up with a cockamamie plan over her head.

[in4apounding]

[Penny's quiet for a few seconds- and then lets out an honest to god giggle.]

[She's trying to stifle it, but it's not working very well.]

I'm- sorry- just... "cockamamie".

[playthedamncard]

...It's a legitimate word.

[in4apounding]

I'm sorry I've just never heard someone actually say it before.

[It's an old-person word, Kaiba. You are sixteen.]

[playthedamncard]

[Excuse you he is educated.]

There's a first time for everything.
