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. ))

[The amount of work put into this is... staggering, as well as confusing.

The simple fact that it was Valentine's day has gone right over Pyrrha's head until she stepped into the food court- and how would she know, anyway? It wasn't anywhere near February back on Beacon. Space must be different. Yes, that's definitely the answer.

She arrived to this little party wearing something a little different from the standard uniforms. She got it in the pile of loot from yesterday, so how could she not put it on?

Anyways, she's here! Looking curiously at the decorations, like that strange chocolate statue over there. And she's got a table to go to. Get ready, Choromatsu.]

[square enix looked me in the eye and deadass presented an npc named 'dave' you think eos gives a single fuck about etymology]

Oh, thank heavens for that. Imagine how terribly awkward that might have been.

[imnotfat]

It'd be wasteful to throw away good chocolate. Even though I hate this thing, I'm not going to throw away something that's close to actually meeting my standards.

[kingshaming]

[he doesn't seem to be formulating any more roomba murder at least. He picks up a simple white one, turning it this way and that]

[imnotfat]

If I intended to get you drunk to get information out of you, I at least wouldn't give you something that's closer to toilet water than to real liquor.

[Geez, Togami, it's bad whiskey but it's not that bad. Have a seat, Xander. Here's your dose of gacha machine whiskey. Togami takes his, sipping and immediately hating it]

I was hoping you wouldn't come here. If you hadn't, you would have no obligation to partake in this...ridiculous event.

[Don't lie, Togami, you were hoping he wouldn't come so you wouldn't have to be in a date you didn't arrange]

[ratherdoweddings]

Don't tell me you're wanting to get Valentine's chocolate because nobody gave you any.

[At least she also gets an Arianna! Arriving moments after her muffled scream, the princess is here to fight whatever horrible thing is attacking. Unless it's another ninety-pound lube barrel, in which case she's here to push it into the corner with the other one and then deny all awareness of where it came from.]

What is it?!

Cookies

[kingshaming]

...

I didn't take you for a baker.

[daughterofthemark]

[...yeah, she sure notices that reaction. She doesn't say anything, though.]

That's good. You should be proud of yourself.

[daughterofthemark]

Yes! There are better ways to improve sales!

[everylittlesecret]

[So Pyrrha did figure it out. Nari shifts in place for a moment, not daring herself to look at the other redhead for a moment. Then she nods and looks at Pyrrha.]

Have you tried them yet?

[Did she pick a good flavor combo?]

[ratherdoweddings]

We aren't even buying anything. Unless you count the prize machine.

[desperateprayer]

[ Clarith has been quiet this week, and will be sitting in the Starbucks in the afternoon. She's got notebooks and she's writing and even sketching at times. Faces and names of everyone here. If they escape, she... Wants to remember them. There's even little notes next to each one. They're just basic, and she's not the best, but they do resemble the people at least. Otherwise, she'll be back to cleaning after everything, a silver and purple Roomba trailing behind her to catch the floors. ]

[daughterofthemark]

Yes, there must be something. Perhaps we could find some hidden passage, or something similar.

[myocordial]

I find that burdens are far lighter when they're shared. Besides, I am used to looking out for people.

[He didn't get the title of Champion of Compassion for nothing. Being the Team Mom for a whole species tends to go a long way.]

It does explain that, yes. Though we'll make it work out. I think everyone here, at least, has more to worry about than how human you are. Which I'm sure doesn't make this easy on you, of course, but it's something to remember.

[myocordial]

Yes, so it seems. They're very... simplistic, but there's something endearing about them. Even if they don't do much.

[myocordial]

[shit I don't know, ask Toei]

...Will it be a problem for you? Not here, but back home.

[cyan_maid]

Right! That's the ticket - there's definitely something we're overlooking.

[myocordial]

They certainly are, aren't they? Sometimes I still feel like they're beyond my understanding.

[Just sometimes, though.]

Just barely. I can't really tell you anything about the meanings of the cards. Even my friend used them less for their intended purpose and more for the sake of...

...Well, they were aesthetically appropriate.

[There's really no good way to explain 096's... everything.]

starbucks

[daughterofthemark]

[Purple is a good color for Roombas! One that's purple all over, and has a sunflower sticker on top, scoots into Starbucks as fast as its little wheels can carry it, with a princess in pursuit.]

Dame Abigail, please wait!

[daughterofthemark]

[I'm still waiting on Toei for Karen's fucking parents...]

It will harm my family's reputation, but to what extent, I cannot say. Receiving the full text of this letter, some might feel that it was--justified.

[daughterofthemark]

...I am glad he has you to be his friends, then.

[daughterofthemark]

...no. [Yes.] But surely everyone has at least some decency...

[myocordial]

I understand. It is a fair point, of course. Cruelty seems to be the intent behind this whole affair. But this especially...

[Some of the secrets were nothing special. Petty, unimportant, even to the people it targeted. And then there were secrets like this.]

Well, they'll use whatever they think will push people enough, I suppose. In any case... I'm sorry.

[daughterofthemark]

I've seen that phrase in a few places. What does it mean?
