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.]

...Rii-san, please don't threaten him while at a disadvantage.

[you seem to have an unfortunate habit of doing that. please wait until you have a sword or something.]

[serrata]

Don't be silly, Arianna-chan. I don't have to threaten him.

[ he already knows she wants to knife him! :) ]

After all, they're not here, are they?

[daughterofthemark]

I meant that moreso in general...

[serrata]

... I promise I won't get myself into any more trouble with him. I mean it.

[ she reaches over and very gently boops Arianna's nose. ]

You don't have to worry about me, okay?

[daughterofthemark]

[what is this nose booping what is this why does it make her smile]

Thank you, Rii-san. I hope I'm not worrying excessively.

[serrata]

Well, would you like something to take your mind off of it, either way?

[daughterofthemark]

Ah! Did you have something in mind?

[DON'T BE A KNIFE DON'T BE A KNIFE DON'T BE A KNIFE]

[serrata]

[ SURPRISE IT'S A KNIFE-- no, it's not ]

How about doing a few laps with me? Exercise is the perfect thing for when you've got something on your mind.

[KNIFE JOGGING]

That sounds wonderful! And... most likely necessary, as well. I've been less active since coming here, after all.

[serrata]

[ i can't believe case 1 happens because yuuri and arianna went knifejogging ]

Me too. I was actually trying to run a little bit every single day back home and Yuki-chan was sort of... well, she wasn't my coach exactly. Maybe she was more like my cheerleader...?

[daughterofthemark]

[They hold them out to the sides and slit like five throats.

A cheer leader, she says...]

She used word of encouragement to give you strength?

[serrata]

Exactly. Even if I didn't think I could run another step, Yuki-chan would always be right there cheering me on and I knew I could keep going. It's important to have someone motivating you like that.

[daughterofthemark]

Yes, indeed! That sounds very much like the role I perform as a Sovereign.

[serrata]

Oh, really? So it's not just about ruling?

[ deet her up, princess ]

[daughterofthemark]

I suppose it depends on what you consider ruling to entail. I've always felt it was a leader's duty to ensure that those she leads are inspired to do their best.
