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.]

[Well, we probably shouldn't rely on Ardyn all day running around checking up and changing every bandage. Or should we?]

Hey. I'm still alive. Somehow.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Did you not need to as an immortal supervillain? Bet that came in handy at some point.

[desperateprayer]

...There's not really anywhere else to hide.

[ It's fine, she never would have thought of shower sex. Or masturbation. Because showers don't exist yet in Evillious. ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Rest in fucking pieces, Rainbow Brite. We need booze so we can pour one out.

[neverheardofhim]

I've been through a lot worse than a needle to the ear.

[Still, he sets the needle down for the time being. Mostly because Junpei's being a downer.]

Had them for most of my life. Then one day I wake up in a strange place and find that, somehow, they're gone and my ears look they've been without anything in them for months.

I'd ask how something like that happens, but at this point? It's the least of my concerns.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Your kiosk doesn't work for you? ...Who're you rooming with?

[nightcure]

Seriously? At this rate, you're gonna pass out.

[ He taps through his PIP to the rules. ]

I don't really think you wanna figure out how Xander's gonna "rudely awaken" you.

[motherfucking_ghost]

You wanna see? Cuz it's-- [He's already half pulling up his shirt (no he did not wear the dress, and honestly the top of it could probably be seen with the dress but shh details), but he kinda needs two hands to really get it up high enough and that...is not something he cares to do right now. So he lets it slump back down.]

It's the flag of my team, my army.

[nightcure]

[ #LetHimRest ]

Yeah, good to see. How are you doing, big guy?

[helladoptera]

Huh. I've... never heard of that one. But cool that I have the same last name as him, I guess. Unless he's an asshole.

[refusedtoleave]

[She's here for tea. But the it takes so long for the water to boil, it seems even longer when she's only focused on that.]

...A lot of people seem to come here to write.

[neverheardofhim]

It just means that you're both good people.

[Maybe it would have been wise to talk Nari down. That wisdom, unfortunately, had escaped Varric for the time being.]

Ardyn and I are already working on it. He'll get what's coming to him.

[burninglight]

I said that I'm fine. Did you just come to lecture me, because when last I looked you weren't my mother.

[burninglight]

Conditionally. I could still be killed all sorts of gruesome and unappealing ways, but I would just come back from them. Drowning and the like tends to take a bit longer than they should; quite annoying, to tell the truth.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Feel like shit. Arm's on fire. Queasy. Exhausted even though I did absolutely fuck and all.

Or did you want me to say fine and pretend like I'm okay like Yuyubean's doing?

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Junpei spoons out a single Divin' Drop and lets it fall to the floor.]

See ya, space cowboy. We knew you too little.

[desperateprayer]

...Thank you, Touko. As long as I have someone by my side, I think... I'll be okay.

[ It's a nice feeling. To have someone to lean on in more than one way. She'll squeeze Touko's hand, acknowledging that connection. One that isn't just physical. ]

[desperateprayer]

Jane. I just... Wanted to be left alone. I figured no one would bother me here.

[ The kiosk doesn't really afford privacy. ]

[nightcure]

[ MIRAI ZURAAAAAA ]

Pffft. [ Noctis stop it. ] I guess that'd work. You want me to go grab some scarves or something?

[misanthropicprinciple]

...Uh...

[dot dot dot.]

Were you at the meeting the other day? A few days ago, I mean. That was, ah. One of the topics that came up. The time discrepancy.

[nightcure]

Soooo... this place doesn't have workers, but it's got ghosts.

Great.

[ He looks at her, though. ]

You okay? Must've been really freaky.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Holy shit. Hold on, wait wait wait--the purple one!

My Little Princess.

[neverheardofhim]

Ah. [ He shook his head. ] I'll be honest, I took some time for myself. Mostly tried to come to terms with the fact that I'm thousands of years out of my element.

[desperateprayer]

Maybe. I can hope so.

[ She's not naive. She knows awful things will happen. She doesn't expect to live. Maybe it's a long time overdue, honestly. ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

He was kind of an asshole. I don't really remember, I think I got annoyed a few chapters in and CliffsNoted the whole thing so I could read comics instead. It was still in English, it still counted.
