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. ))

Announcement!

[kingshaming]

[A little ways into breakfast time, everyone gets a message to meet in the food court. Not too dissimilar to a week ago, in fact.

What is different is Xander. He's still dressed to impress, but today it's just slacks and a dark-to-near-black purple dress shirt. He looks... a little less worn down then he did in his short showing last night, but still not as bright eyed as he was when this started.

...he's also eating something. Kinda looks like he's plucking the kernels out of a pomegranate. If it was lime green and bumpy. Have your villain show up eating a space apple, that way he looks like even more of an asshole ]

Good morning Champions. I won't keep you long, I only wish to announce a slight change to the... routine... of nights from now on. While your movements are still not limited, starting tonight once lights go down, there will be mechanical guards patrolling the halls. They are not here to harm you, nor will they interfere with enacting rule 7. But they will... escort... you back to your kiosks if they find you roaming around without purpose.

[he sounds not only frustrated by this news, but also almost flabbergasted. Like he's been told a bad joke and has to retell it to them]

They have a very distinct appearance, so you will know them when you see them. And they are considered property of the exercise, so please do not attack them

[cyan_maid]

...So if we explain to them that we need to use the bathroom, they're going to follow us, make sure we do so, and then walk us back to bed like we need bathroom buddies.

[Said dryly, because what the fuck is this, preschool?]

[kingshaming]

I'm... actually unsure of how much they are able to understand. Might be best to use the restroom BEFORE lights down from now on.

[burninglight]

Really.

[he's zero percent here for you now, alex.]

And if our movements are to not be limited, then what defines 'without purpose'?

[kingshaming]

If you are in one of the shops or restrooms, odds are they won't come after you. They are sight based but not... very clever.

[imnotfat]

Define 'without purpose'.

[Just how worried should everyone be, Xander?]

[kingshaming]

If they see you wandering out in the open the will approach. As long as you are inside somewhere and willing to perhaps... Duck around a corner? You should be fine to do as you wish.

[ratherdoweddings]

Night monitors? Is this a kidnappers' mall or summer camp?

[kingshaming]

It is what it is. Just please be aware of it from now on.

[tokencanadian]

...As if our being imprisoned here wasn't enough, now we have guards to keep track of us?

[Sounds like terrible mall security to her.]

[kingshaming]

I suppose it's to avoid any mishaps while I'm not at the cameras...

[daughterofthemark]

[WOW YEAH SHE DEFINITELY DOESN'T HAVE A REASON TO BE SUPER WORRIED]

Sir Xander. When you say "escort"...

[kingshaming]

I don't know their exact means, only that I've been assured they won't harm you.

[myocordial]

...And you're actually serious.

[Because yeah, Xander. It does sound like a bad joke.]

[kingshaming]

Unfortunately.

[a10tionplz]

Is the distinct appearance dogs? Love a good tin dog.

[kingshaming]

Gods, that would be more pleasant. No, they are human shaped.

[refusedtoleave]

Why should we do as they say?

[You think she's going to cooperate?]

[kingshaming]

They are capable of moving you physically.

[everylittlesecret]

[The Roomba Killer is allowing robots in his halls?

Yep. Nari's out.]

[serrata]

[ Yuuri just... raises her hand? ]

Excuse me. I have a question.

[ you know when someone's voice is just so pleasant and so polite that it kind of shoots the moon and goes right back around to being mocking? that's where we're at. ]

What's actually the point of this?

[nightcure]

Wow.

Guards.

Makes me feel like a kid again.

[motherfucking_ghost]

[Church is here. Church is glaring daggers at a space just over Xander's shoulder, because mostly he doesn't want to actually look at the guy. He looks a little worse for wear, arm aside, but he's up and about and also oh just...flipping the bird. Yep. Someone's still mad.

It's just a perpetual flipping off until Xander leaves honestly.]

[desperateprayer]

[ Clarith just listens for awhile. To his responses. To what he says to everyone else. To how he stands and gestures. And it's like she's observing and looking through him. But she's figured out one thing, she thinks. ]

...They don't fully trust you.

[shikosuki]

[ ...ok everyone else is pointing out a bunch of other stuff about how dumb this is but ]

...So how the heck are they not supposed to interfere with rule 7 exactly?

I mean if someone goes out in the middle of the night to kill someone but if the guards put all the stragglers back in their kiosks who are they going to kill?
