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... I will. Hopefully everyone else will be as understanding as you are, if it comes to it.

[He hasn't told her everything, but she knows more than most do. Something about her feels trustworthy, even if his other self is snarling that clergy cannot be trusted, that her holy mission would be to see him smited and that this is a mere deception. Dracula doesn't think well of mortals, which only makes Soma that much more determined to have faith in them, if only to defy his darker self. Still, the thought of everyone here knowing the truth remains terrifying.]

If you like the coffee, I'll make it whenever you want. Just pull me aside if you see me, okay? It's the least I can do to repay you.

...Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.

[ Oh Soma if only you knew she was only really religious because her dead girlfriend is now a goddess. But she'll take a sip and blink. ]

...Strange. I've never had coffee before. This is a first... It's not half bad.

A lot of people don't like the bitterness so they over-sweeten it. If you get a good roast and go easy on sugar and cream, you can learn to like the taste over time. I usually alternate between coffee and tea, depending on my mood.

[He's relaxing a bit now that they're on a different subject, the roughness of grief gradually fading from his voice. He's even smiling a little.]

I usually drink tea, although it's the cheap kind. This isn't that bad. I do mostly prefer sweeter things, though. But... Something a little bitter is good from time-to-time.

[ She'll smile a little. This is fine. She likes this conversation. ]

When I drink coffee, I usually go for something called a hazelnut mochaccino. It's similar to what I just made for you, but it has chocolate and hazelnut in it. If I'm drinking tea, I usually don't add anything.

[He starts working on a hazelnut mochaccino for himself. Might as well, so she can taste it if she wants to.]
