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. ))

...What?

[The fuck is this. That can't be real. What the fuck.]

[cyan_maid]

[Yeah it's...not easy or comfortable to explain Homestuck to anyone this time around. We're already dealing with juggalo robots in this thread's future.]

...Yes, they have some meanings. But, I mean...they're not really too important here. It all just reminds me of home.

[ratherdoweddings]

Right! ♥ Do you know a lot about that kind of thing?

[curdle]

[ She looks first confused, then slightly annoyed. ]

This is your creature?

[cyan_maid]

A-Ah...from a sort of...hobbyist standpoint, I guess. I really love mystery novels and detective stories...

[curdle]

... a fox?

[ this is a great way to talk to someone for the first time! to her credit, Thomasin seems to immediately realize this herself, and adds, quietly: ]

Forgive me, I'd not distract you.

[ it's the last thing he needs when those ears seem so structurally unsound! ]

[curdle]

[ There's something to this music, something that tugs at something in her she can neither name nor remember. Thomasin follows after Dr. DJ Roomba, her face wistful, simply listening to what it plays and trying to understand why it has such a strange hold on her.

(It's playing the Space Jam/Gangnam Style remix.) ]

Whose are you, then?

[ She asks, gently, because Togami's talked (kind of) and this one is singing to her so it must talk too! Help. ]

[daughterofthemark]

Is it not exciting? Mysterious creatures will be appearing!

[Arianna...]

[imnotfat]

And for that they'd taunt only one person? Unless they think Pyrrha is a significant threat to them, I don't see why she'd be the only target.

[Unless other people got similar experiences here and he simply doesn't know]

[imnotfat]

Is there a problem with that?

[Yeah, at this point he's admitting it. It's not like people are fooled when he pretends he had nothing to do with it]

[Wandering into Starbucks and watching people do whatever they're doing is starting to become a habit for Arianna.]

Rii-san, you're hard at work today.

[a10tionplz]

I'll add it to the list, I guess.

[a10tionplz]

Not personally, just, you know, by reputation. He's a celebrity chef, known for being kind of- ...well, he'd probably fit in okay at that Flavortown restaurant, let's say that. Certainly not any kind of war minister, except maybe against low blood pressure and cholesterol.

[cyan_maid]

...The list of what, weird stuff?

[a10tionplz]

Maybe? Some kind of far distant future version of it, where Juggalos have taken on this kind of cultural significance in places other than Earth. ...Beyond just, you know, the way people are normally kind of terrified of clowns.

[a10tionplz]

Oh. I've been trying to keep track of the years everyone's from, and any differences they've mentioned in their worlds. Did I not mention that?

[induality]

And i-if we watch them, w-we may get some clues about this place. Th-they may have access to areas we don't yet.

[tokencanadian]

I think I'm jumping to a reasonable conclusion. Otherwise the only other thing I can think of is this is one of the guards Xander spoke of.

[And frankly, that's a little sad.]

[cyan_maid]

You might have, but I will admit, I have been preoccupied.

[a10tionplz]

Oh I dunno, not so unimportant if it's got you to come out of hiding.

[He gives a little wave, removing the sunglasses.]

So what's the point of this, just fighting boredom, or seeing who'll come out and poke at the new thing instead of hiding away?

[induality]

What kind of person changes that much in different timelines? H-he's probably unstable.

[Not only because of his aesthetic but also because of his aesthetic.]

[daughterofthemark]

Oh, you're right! At the very least, I haven't seen any of them today, so they must have some hidden place they go in the daytime.

[a10tionplz]

I don't think these'll be quite as dangerous as any given sea-life. Unless Xander's a lot more in the dark than he thinks he is, he doesn't strike me as a very good liar so far. But, if I'm wrong, do me a favor and try to make my death sound less embarassing than it probably will be?

[nightcure]

Sounds like Iggy'd have a field day with this guy.

So basically, the Guy Fieri you know and the one Jane knows are dramatically different. I've gotta admit... this whole alternate timelines thing sounds pretty wild.

[refusedtoleave]

No, the price wouldn't normally be a problem. Though I wouldn't enter a shop like this in the first place... It's that they're giving us access to all this, when they know we can't pay them back...

[Please don't make her say what she's getting at.]
