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.]

Oh!

[ hello darkness mine old friend ]

Oh, nay, I don't... [ mind? know how to lie convincingly?? ] I was abed.

[a10tionplz]

Just a normal day, then? Or night, I suppose.

[curdle]

Yes. [ She says it very quietly, though. ] For what do you ask?

[a10tionplz]

I'm trying to figure out why us. Why we were the ones chosen for this, specifically. They've got at least basic information on all of us, even if a lot of it's wrong, and this place would've taken time to set up, so it can't just be random or spur of the moment. So, there's got to be some common factor, something connecting us or making us similar somehow.

[curdle]

Oh.

[ She holds her tongue for a moment, deliberating, before continuing on. ]

Have you heard any likely thing?

[a10tionplz]

So far about a third of us were hurt or injured somehow before we arrived here. Or outright dying.

[Should he not mention that to the teenaged girl? Maybe he shouldn't mention it to the teenaged girl. Better say something to save it.]

So, good news at least, there's some pretty incredible medical tech somewhere here, if we can find it.

[ CRUSHING IT as evidenced by this thoughtful silence, and then: ]

That must be, if they lived. But what proof have we of that?

[ she's making it better ]

[a10tionplz]

Besides them being alive here with us and not dead?

[Genuinely asking here, cause he feels like he's missing something.]

[curdle]

I ought have spoke it different.

What proof have we that any of us live still?
