Week 1

[After the reveal of their handsome and well-dressed but stern-looking Overseer on Sunday, the Champions were left to their own devices in investigating the mall to their hearts' content. At around 10 pm every night the lights in all the shops will go down and the sturdy metal grates over the doors of the restaurants will go down. The stores will remain unlocked, though.

On Monday morning, a buzzing alarm chirps at them again from their PIPs at 7 am on the dot. There's also a pop-up message waiting for them: a notice announcing Xander will be holding office hours

Enjoy your week, Champions.]

What're you trying to do with all of this, then?

[ She ends up approaching, despite herself. Now she's really looking, the mess seems like it's a bit more organized than it appeared at first glance. He actually knows what he's doing as opposed to just mindless destruction for the fun of it, huh? ]

Are you just trying to see how it works?

[induality]

....he did it. He definitely did it. He brainwashed them into marrying him.

[THIS SHADY DUDE...]

[motherfucking_ghost]

[King Noctis Somethingus Callous had suggested talking to Ardyn Whateverhisnamereallyis about the profile stuff. And he'd been willing to do that.

Right up until he saw how the guy acted around the Overseer. And remembered the whole 'act like you're an idiot to hide how smart you are' thing. And the calm way he delivered his fury. And now he's got pliers.]

Oh wow sorry I'd love to chat but [he pulls one of the sleek digital watches from its stand and shows it off] look at the time, I gotta go count blankets. [b y e]

the stores

[tokencanadian]

[....You're currently in Moonglow, Togami. What exactly are you thinking might kill someone in here? Besides the prices, of course.

Pyrrha was just inspecting a few of the simpler shirts and coats the store had when she spotted Togami on his own. She hadn't spoken to him yet, so she made her way over. Better to be on speaking terms with everyone, at least.]

What are you writing about?

[kingshaming]

I'd be more concerned if you did try and play at being friendly.

[he doesn't say Clarith, but the meaning is pretty obvious]

We are enemies, and should act as such- but that also means I have to assume any one of you could end my life at any time. Just as you should assume the same about me.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Ah, that's where I went wrong. Gotta have friends to find drug deals on Facebook.

[everylittlesecret]

That's what people who have something to hide would say.

[Cry me a river then.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

...Everyone's speaking perfectly good English. I'm saying so long as it's not alien, we're good to mcfuckin' go.

[everylittlesecret]

I don't have any friends, but it's a good place to store phone game data.

Tw: self harm/suicide scars

[shikosuki]

...I’m starting to feel my situation supports this too. [ as... hard as it is to believe. ]. I um... I don’t have anything as crazy as a new robot arm or tattoos but my hair’s a lot longer and I...

[ he rolls up the sleeve of the Moonglow sweater he pilfered earlier to reveal a big scar all the way down the underside of his arm from wrist to elbow. It looks... healed but still recent. ]

I have one of these on each arm now...

[ and it’s been concerning him just a tad ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

The fuck kind of name is Klim? No, it's--my last name.

[scourgingstars]

What are you-

[Ardyn paused, looked to the pliers in his hand, then cursed under his breath as the situation clicked.]

Wait- [He made a vague gesture with his hand, letting go of the pliers in the process only for them to fall unceremoniously to the floor where Ardyn looked down to them in brief confusion.]

[. . .]

...right, no Armiger.

[tokencanadian]

It's... nice to meet you, Choromatsu Matsuno. [Did she say that right, god she hopes so.]

You really have five identical brothers? Wow, that must be interesting?

[not like she'd know.]

[serrata]

I'm not.

[ Look at that fetching shade of red she's gone. ]

But when I got changed before, I found two of them. One here [ and she gestures to her collarbone and just... general Boob Area ] and the other one here.

[ She sets a hand on her upper right arm. ]

One of them is a flower and the other... I'm not sure what it is. It's black and it looks like it's... a symbol, or something like that.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Aw, hey, they're lookin' good. I was expecting way more traditional yakuza-type tats.

[everylittlesecret]

Wallhugger is insisting we're speaking Japanese, and she was able to understand me when I switched to German. There's universal translation shit going on, and I don't know if it extends to written language.

[motherfucking_ghost]

We're all stuck and we're all confused and a guy wants us to kill each other or live out our days here. The profiles are stupid and full of junk, and--did you just call me sir?

Like...like a knight?

[everylittlesecret]

See, that gets me right there. I am not Japanese, have never been to Japan, yet am listed as a yakuza. But honestly? One of my tattoos could definitely pass for one, but I am not taking my top off to show you.

[scourgingstars]

Working with machinery helps me think. In the best case scenario, I was hoping to scavenge parts to build some rudimentary magitek weapon to deal with Xander, but I'm afraid I'm out of luck.

[misanthropicprinciple]

I dunno, German, I think? Anyway, Church. Got it.

[motherfucking_ghost]

[He turns at the sound (still walking backwards extra bye?).] Oh my god, did you just try to chuck pliers at me?! What the fuck!

[scourgingstars]

Even were I able to, why would I want to do that?

[scourgingstars]

It means 'why do you have a tattoo of the sigil of the elite guards to the royal bloodline'?

[myocordial]

Mine seems to be... mostly fine. Though they seem to have added more to my name. I should have just the one.

[Now he just sounds like a magic crystal or something.]

...I have some issue with what's listed for my likes as well, but that's not that important.

[induality]

I-I don't know! You tell me!!

I guess even v-villains want to live that harem ending...
