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 assure you, you'd not want to be my Shield anyway.

Maybe I'm Nighty-Night's shield. I'm still not taking a bullet for him. Or you. Or anyone.

[burninglight]

I assure you, you're not. I've met his Shield.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Okay, so, I guess it's just wrong then. Like...maybe it's just using it as a turn of phrase?

Or maybe when you got to be mortal, you needed a shield?

[burninglight]

I'm not a king, Church. I never was. So even were I to have someone in a similar position, there would be no need to call them 'Shield of the King'.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Shield of the brother of the king, then! [He throws up both arms, and immediately regrets it, gingerly putting the right back down.] Turns of fucking phrase, dude! It might not all be fucking literal!

[burninglight]

...I don't know. I just...this doesn't make sense at all and I doubt it will for some time.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I don't know if you're gonna make sense for a while.
