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.]

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

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Throws up his arms and makes the universal "IUNNO!!!" noise.]

Why am I listed as a royal advisor? Who am I supposed to be advising? What sane person would take advice from a time-traveling college dropout?

[scourgingstars]

...Noctis, apparently.

[because he's clearly the only lucian king here, right, definitely?]

[nightcure]

[ are you fucking kidding him ]

Sure. That's me. The only Lucian king here.

[motherfucking_ghost]

We've got a couple kings [because Ardyn counts apparently] and princesses, could be anyone. I'm supposed to be a Shield. For a king. So.

[he's yet to mention his tats, but he does not find them relevant, and he doesn't know about the glaive tat on his back]

[nightcure]

I've already got a shield, so unless you want to be Ardyn's, sounds like you're out of a job.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Which is a shame, cuz the job I got doesn't even pay me anymore mostly because it forgot I existed. And my whole team.

Maybe you need two shields? Two's better than one, twice the...shield...

...

Does that mean stand in front of a bullet in case of assassination?

[nightcure]

Maybe, but Gladio's more than enough.

I wouldn't ask you to do that.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I mean I would hope you wouldn't ask a random stranger to do that, because, no offense, fuck that.

[nightcure]

Nah. I wouldn't ask anyone to do anything like that.

[ gladio just

does it ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

But is that like the job, though? Out of...curiosity.

[nightcure]

... Being a Shield is exactly what it sounds like. The Shield protects the king. It's why they're usually big guys.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Okay. So. What it says on the tin.

Once again, no offense, but I'm not taking a bullet for any of you jackasses.

[nightcure]

No offense taken, man.

[burninglight]

Don't start that here, Your Majesty. That mark is modern enough to be your jurisdiction.

[Ardyn scowled and turned back to glance over the Kingsglaive sigil on Junpei's arm--sure enough, half-hidden by his scarf, there was a matching one on the back of Ardyn's neck.]

[ratherdoweddings]

Um... Does that mean you work for him?

[scourgingstars]

Absolutely not. What gave you that ridiculous impression?

[ratherdoweddings]

Um... You might want to get to a mirror you can turn your back to at some point, because you've got the exact same tattoo.

[nightcure]

So why do you have one that matches?

[scourgingstars]

What are you talking about? I have nothing of the sort.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Looks Noctis up and down.]

...Okay, if I'm your advisor, you need way better taste in advisors, dude. That's my professional advisory.

[scourgingstars]

Believe me, he'd be insane to replace the last one.

[not wrong.]

[nightcure]

Like I'd really replace Ignis.

[ Golly, SOMEONE is defensive! ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Ignis, seriously.

[What is wrong with all y'all's names?]
