Week 2

[It's been about a week since the Champions woke up in their new consumerist hellscape of a temporary home and, despite a few odd goings on and the bomb incident with Church and Nari, things haven't been as bad as they could be. No one is even dead yet! But let's see how long that lasts.

Enjoy your week, Champions.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

(( Also, don't forget to submit your AC and item rolls! You can also bother your Overseer here. ))

2554, yeah. [or so the flawed 'official timeline' would have you believe] It's pretty wild they managed to get all these people here at all.

[tokencanadian]

Oh! I do remember you mentioning something about that when we first met. You're really the captain of a space ship? I can't imagine what that's like.

[refusedtoleave]

I wonder if that's why we can only see a section of it. The rest might not exist at all.

[refusedtoleave]

No, his job was to be the one making the decisions... He wouldn't have accepted help anyway.

[cyan_maid]

...So there might not even be any mall past the barriers? It's just...an empty lot?

[refusedtoleave]

1986... I'm didn't think something like this was possible.

[refusedtoleave]

I'm not sure. With what the sky looks like, I wouldn't be surprised if we were really in a warehouse.

[cyan_maid]

Maybe...I mean, it's not exactly hard to put up a bunch of drywall to mimic a mall setting. But then what's beyond the warehouse?

[everylittlesecret]

Television is often wrong or it dumbs it down to make the average viewer less squeamish. Hunting is very messy work, but very worth it. [She sighs wistfully.] If only he wasn't so against going to other countries, I would take a man like that Cape Buffalo hunting.

[myocordial]

If you'd prefer not to talk about it, that is fine as well. We can keep the conversation light. But if there is any part of it that you'd like to talk about you are certainly free to, Soma Cruz.

[...The full name thing makes this sound so much less casual, but that's Heart for you.]

[everylittlesecret]

I'm not very good at being an adult, and being called Miss just reminds me of my parents stuffy social circles where I'd get paraded around like an accessory.

[serrata]

... You were twins.

[ This is starting to sound like a monstrously cruel cosmic joke. ]

So he... he pretended to be you and then... how did he excuse exiling you like that? Surely someone had to have known something was wrong?

[burninglight]

I told you--I had ceased to be mortal. I was more plague than human by then; I'm sure he told them their savior was ridding Lucis of just another daemon.

[serrata]

... this is a joke, right?

[ She doesn't seem like she's talking to Arianna. But there's nothing stopping her from taking a look at the Family Portrait the machine's just spat out. ]

This week of all weeks...!

[serrata]

That's a good point... I hadn't thought of that.

[ She gives another little hum and peers at the grid of dates. ]

Do you feel like doing a bit of observing for me, Arianna-chan?

[daughterofthemark]

What is it? Is...

[RII-SAN IS DOING HER A CONCERN]

That is... you?

[serrata]

Really? Your birthdays must've been very boring, Togami-san.

[ She just cocks her head to the side. ]

Valentine's Day is just a day to show some appreciation to the people around you. Fukawa-chan reminded me of that. And she reminded me that sitting around and being miserable just lets the people in charge of all this win.

[ She's smiling, but there's something icy about it. ]

So maybe you could do better in showing her a little bit of appreciation as well.

[serrata]

It certainly does.

[ she's so tired of gachas, Ardyn.

She looks up at him, but then takes in the expression on his face and mirrors his confusion with a furrowed brow of her own. ]

... what's wrong?

[burninglight]

...This is mine. Or--the clasp is, at least.

[He traced the metal fastener on the black vest, frowning slightly.]

This isn't what it goes to--I've never seen this outfit before.

[ratherdoweddings]

Thaaaaat's right! It's a lot of work, but it's better to do your best than just stand by as a symbol.

[cyan_maid]

Oh, geez. I'm sorry, then - it'll just be Nari from now on, I promise.

[cyan_maid]

I'd assume it would be very rewarding. [Especially if you're actually hunting to survive?] Cape Buffalo...where do you find those? On a cape, I presume?

[serrata]

All of it?

[ SHE LOOKS SORT OF IMPRESSED... ]

On what?

[serrata]

[ ...

she looks away and gives the hardest, most long suffering sigh

but that's probably not quite enough to keep him from seeing the grin on her face that she's trying very hard to cover up ]

[daughterofthemark]

They were the chocolates provided at this morning's events.
