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.]

[Muttering something that sounded like 'don't tell me what to do', Ardyn took the camera and did exactly that.]

[burninglight]

How are you doing that with your tongue.

[ratherdoweddings]

I'm finding a lot of things don't nowadays.

[murderousfiend]

Ohhhhh so you're interested? It's super useful.

[turns and stares into the camera

gently whispers 'fuck u nao']

But there's no "how". I guess you could say it's a natural talent~

[motherfucking_ghost]

[It's a little doing, because unfamiliar apps and shit, but it can't be that hard, right? Oh hey! That...that sure is a lot of black. On his back.]

Shit, this body's got a lot of fucking ink, I must've been a rockstar. Hold on--how big is it?

[And that question can only be answered by him tugging at the zipper of the dress and letting it fall around his hips. Sure is a glaivetat, sure is across his back.]

Daaaaaamn. That must've taken forever.

[On his chest is a bird backed with some knives and a lot of blue. But that's not nearly as important.]

[tokencanadian]

Holo- [wait, no she's not that foolish.] Hologram projectors. Right, we should.

[...And since she's obviously not going back to sleep, she'll just get up. Time to investigate that corner...!]

[burninglight]

[you love me]

'Morbidly fascinated' is the term I would use.

[cyan_maid]

...Seconded.

[If she felt at all inclined to drink, she'd need a drink.]

[nightcure]

I take it you've been hanging out here for a while, then.

[ He watches as Ardyn rolls his sleeves down. Yeah, he'd seen them. But he's not gonna make any remark about it. He guesses he knows what they're from, anyway. ]

What are you working on, anyway?

[curdle]

Is that what they've named me in this ledger? Xander and what creatures he hath?

[ She's quiet and noticeably pale, weighing how much she can say. Will it be easier to simply be honest? It helps that there are so many reasons she might have such a title.

Well, whatever her reasons, she admits it. ]

Yes. I suppose they would call me the same in any place.

[murderousfiend]

It's a real party pleaser gyaahahahah!! Oh but I can teach you all the important stuff-- size isn't reaaaaally important here~

[Nah save that for other places.]

[nightcure]

[ Ah. Why this. ]

So when's Touko coming back?

[burninglight]

[Ardyn briefly raised an eyebrow at the sight without realizing he did (or why, for that matter), frowning slightly.]

Not to mention the level of sheer commitment involved.

[imnotfat]

If it has to be a challenge, then go ahead. Take it as a challenge.

[Please have fun. Lots of fun. Far away.

It's amazing how panicky he can sound in his own head while he talks with his usual calm demeanor]

[burninglight]

I appreciate the offer, but will have to politely decline.

[we're not getting into 'ardyn lucis caelum was a skank' territory today, okay]

[murderousfiend]

Why would you want that one back?

[You all keep saying that, and she continues to be baffled by it.]

[nightcure]

Are you kidding? Cat ears make everything better.

[ He grabs one of the attachments. ]

Here's a pair in galaxy pattern.

[nightcure]

Because I like talking to her, and I'd like to get to know her better.

[burninglight]

Nothing. But if I don't keep my hands busy somehow I would rather not think about what might happen. Besides, I happen to like working with machinery.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Maybe you should wear it for yourself, Nyactis. [Someone's been talking to Nari.]

[imnotfat]

[Wow, that's...quite the assesment! It's so unexpectedly detailed Togami is unsure for a moment what to say. To gain time, he chooses what seems to be a phone, fiddling with it and opening the back. What's this nonsense inside, how can he use it]

I'll make sure to talk to him, since you're describing him in such glowing terms...a rather detailed description, despite we all having spent such a short time in here.

Answer me this with honesty: did you know him before we arrived here?

[murderousfiend]

I hope you're ready to be disappointed-- nothing in that one's head but useless fantasies and dull literature.

I-I-If you c-c-can get her to t-taaaaaaalk first.

[burninglight]

Er-....


[. . .]





...Thank you.

[motherfucking_ghost]

And that's the-? Like people who protect the king from your world? And you've got it, me, and...JP, anyone else?

[imnotfat]

It's difficult to have faith in other people when you spend sixteen years considering almost everyone to be much inferior to you, and the next four years you see people killing each other.

[But hey, he has improved! Now he considers almost everyone to be just a little bit inferior to him. That's as good as major improvement]
