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.]

I should visit more small towns. It feels like I only ever go to the big ones for important events.

[She folds the dress up in her arms, moving to leave with a neatly folded stack of things Pyrrha had picked out on a nearby counter top.]

There's a lot I'd like to do when I get back home.

[everylittlesecret]

I live for small towns. You find unique things there.

[Pyrrha is so neat...]

Go for it.

[tokencanadian]

[She tries to be!! Although Nari has never seen Pyrrha in a food fight.]

I will. I... [she has to pause and laugh, but it's a little hollow.]

I have got to start taking my own advice.

[everylittlesecret]

That by far is one of the most difficult things to do. You've got time, right? It's not like you're an adult with a job who is just living life because it's there. That's when it gets even harder to follow your own advice.

[Wound that sounded depressing.]

If you want to see the world, the only thing stopping you is yourself.

[tokencanadian]

I mean, I was actually quite busy. I-I had a lot of responsibilities I had to fulfill back home. [She pauses.] Or I... did.

[everylittlesecret]

.... do you want to go back home even without responsibilities?

[tokencanadian]

...I feel like, if I did, it would be a great weight off my shoulders.

[She looks away, just for a moment.]

Does that sound strange? My whole life, I've wanted to do great things- but now, I just feel like I should take a step down from everything. Seems like trying to do more just make things worse for myself... and others.

[Mmmgh.]

[everylittlesecret]

Nope. Sounds human. No one can handle great responsibilities all the time, and it's okay to step down. It's a lot healthier in the long run. Even if it's just a break, take care of yourself, and then you can decide what to do from there.

[tokencanadian]

[She ruminates on that for a moment.]

...You wouldn't know it, but, no one has ever given me that advice before. Or, maybe they did, and I didn't listen to it.

[everylittlesecret]

Then think of it as advice from someone who doesn't care if you're the biggest star in the world. I just know you as Pyrrha, the Fighter, and if you told me you were some kind of god back home, you'd still just be Pyrrha, the Fighter to me. And plain people like me would rather see someone be healthy than overworked.

[tokencanadian]

[She shakes her head.]

No, no, you're right. I'm just Pyrrha Nikos, the Fighter, Huntress, cereal mascot.

[Still very unsure about what the whole "space pirate" thing means.]

[everylittlesecret]

........ cereal mascot..........

[Still... Still unsure about that one. Is that serious?]
