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.]

[neverheardofhim]

Just a short story. Starts with a scruffy looking guy walking up to the dashing protagonist and asking him "What are you writing?"

[The grin Varric flashed was absolutely devious.]

Trying to keep a hard copy of whatever I find in here. Back up, that sort of thing.

[scourgingstars]

That's a distinct possibility, yes.

[burninglight]

Don't patronize me. [He dusted off leather-gloved hands, moving to leave because he really couldn't argue she was giving good advice.]

...You're not going to follow me, are you?

[ratherdoweddings]

Right. Whatever it is, it's serious. And at least we know to stay alert at night... even if we have to sleep some time.

[ratherdoweddings]

I wonder. It must have been someone important to Pyrrha-san, either way.

[burninglight]

You'll have to ask her about it.

[everylittlesecret]

.... I wasn't going to, but something tells me I should just to make sure you're actually doing what you're told. So git. Let's go.

[She will push you.]

No one is dying while I'm watching if I can help it.

[ratherdoweddings]

I wonder if Xander-san knows. He doesn't seem the type his superiors would tell anything important to.

[burninglight]

Like an idiot, in other words. I'd have to agree with that.

[burninglight]

You're not my mother, stop that immediately.

[he's goin he's goin]

And why do you even care?

[everylittlesecret]

I am quite aware of that, nor will I ever be one, but I will treat you like a child if you are acting like one.

[Good]

Because if you die in front of me, I can get framed for murder for not helping you.

[ratherdoweddings]

[giggle] Maybe not an idiot, but he did seem to need to look up a lot of things. I wonder if they hired him from a really backwater planet? After all, it's supposed to be the future, so there would be lots of places colonized by now.

[scourgingstars]

Possibly...he didn't seem strictly uneducated to me. Intelligent, but clearly lacking in common sense.

[scourgingstars]

No jury in any universe would convict you, I promise.

[tokencanadian]

Right. We'll need to check if the doors are locked and everything. [She's not going to suggest taking turns sleeping yet.]

At least nothing... happened? Are you alright?

[everylittlesecret]

I don't think this place is covered under the Good Samaritan law. And apparently I'm a medic according to the profile, so it would be manslaughter through the dereliction of duty.

[scourgingstars]

Correct as you are, I have my doubts Xander ever studied enough law to realize that.

[everylittlesecret]

No, but I have a feeling the Merchant Prince has.

[His name is Togami.]

[scourgingstars]

Which one might that be? The annoyance in the glasses?

[everylittlesecret]

Champion Roller Coaster Tycoon indeed.

[scourgingstars]

...I have to admit, it is a rather...unconventional arrangement we have here.

[everylittlesecret]

You think? Worst part is that I actually feel attached to some of you, and I'd rather not. Let me go back to being me and not caring what happens to strangers like always.

Universe

[a10tionplz]

Oh, good! You're finally up.

[This repair room is clearly the best place to be. The Doctor is carrying a small stack of smartphones and tablets, himself.]

Research and develop anything good yet, then?

[scourgingstars]

Why would you feel attachment to people you've met two days ago? That hardly makes any sense.

[everylittlesecret]

Beats me. Never been like this before in my life. Except with cats. [It's gross] Muscle memories. But like, with emotions.
