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.]

...An apology?

[record scratch]

Whatever for?

[serrata]

Yesterday. I should've known that everyone was just as confused as each other but I took one look at our profiles and I sort of leapt to the wrong conclusion.

Which would've been fine if I hadn't just stormed on over and started throwing accusations around. I got a little bit hot headed, so... I'm sorry.

[scourgingstars]

...oh, is that all? I suppose that's nothing, really. You're worrying too much.

[serrata]

I've been told that's my specialty. But I usually find that I'm worrying exactly the right amount.

[ it's not paranoia when something really is after you! ]

[scourgingstars]

To tell you the truth, it didn't even quite register. Most people tend to be suspicious of me, so I thought little of it.

[serrata]

Even without the aviators, you are a little shady...

[ was that a pun. Absolutely unbelievable. ]

Why do you have those, anyway?

[burninglight]

...actually, I was rather expecting the lights to be more troublesome than they are. Perhaps I don't quite need them.

[serrata]

[ ... Huh. Not the response she was expecting. ]

Did you think they'd be too bright or something? I guess malls can be a little gaudy but I wouldn't think you'd need sunglasses...

[burninglight]

...

Something like that.

[serrata]

... well, so long as it's not actually a problem, then. That's good.

[ she knows a sore spot when she sees one. ]

... What about all the patterns, though?

[burninglight]

...What about them?
