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. ))

Huh?

[Jane turns, blinks, then looks back to all the blankets she's made.]

Uh...not really? They're...just things from home that seem like they'd make good blanket designs. [Hero of Life blanket when, Andrew Hussie.] I'd like to keep maybe one or two, but the others...anyone can take those.

[ratherdoweddings]

Symbols from home? I see! So they must stand for something important. What are they?

[cyan_maid]

...Just...stuff my friends and I would wear. That's all.

[This is technically true for both sets of symbols.]

[ratherdoweddings]

Oh, that sounds cute! I'm sure you miss them. I don't blame you. We've been here way too long already.

[cyan_maid]

...Yeah.

[There's actually something a little freeing not being stuck with them, but...they should be with her, regardless. They were a unit. If she was able to live and get out, they should, too - they deserved it more.]

If there's any you want, you can take them.

[ratherdoweddings]

Are you sure, Jane-chan? You seem... I don't want to take your friends away from you.

[cyan_maid]

...They're just blankets, Miss Yurika. It's really okay.

[ratherdoweddings]

...[Yurika just smiles sadly and shakes her head.] I hope we can get you back to them soon. There are people who get kidnapped and eventually get out after decades, but it had better not be all that long!

[cyan_maid]

[You are avooooooiding the offer for blanket but that's alright. Jane sighs.]

I don't know if sooner or later would be better. Everything's pretty much over and done with back home...they're definitely not going to be where I left them.

[ratherdoweddings]

You mean... back in Nohr, where, you're from?

[cyan_maid]

...Not Nohr, but, yeah. Where I came from.

[ratherdoweddings]

So the profile's wrong for that, too... or right, if that theory about the memories is true.

[cyan_maid]

...Actually, I think...I think it's right.

[She heaves a breath, pulls her Hero of Life blanket into her lap.]

Mister Xander came to me last week before...Church and Nari were hurt. He said that I'm no child of Nohr, and it was just a glitch in the PIP system. But...that's too easy to write off. That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? Because if my profile is a glitch, wouldn't that make so many of the other ones glitches, too? [She crosses her arms in front of her.] So I've decided to make Nohr my own. I don't understand it, and he's not going to give me any real answers, so...since I'm the only "Nohrian" here, I get to decide what it means.

[ratherdoweddings]

I see... That really does make sense! So many of the others have one another's surnames, or they say they're from Arianna-chan's country, but yours gives you a whole different place. One that's not on the other profiles. And Xander-san is sure you're not from there, but who in the world would know every single person who lives in a place? So, whether Nohr is where this mall is or something else, it's got to be the key to everything! Or at least a major clue, right?

[cyan_maid]

I-I don't think it's the key to everything...

[She's not that important Yurika, you flatter her!]

But maybe it's a key for something for me. Like my tattoo, and the...I think it's a poppy that's part of it. That might be something I need to figure out for myself.

[ratherdoweddings]

A poppy like the ones in the pots at Starbucks, and how that's the only normal store here? You must be on to something.

[cyan_maid]

I-I am really not so sure if I am!!

[IT'S ALL LOOSE BITS and she has no string to connect them.......]

[ratherdoweddings]

Maybe there's no actual answer yet, but there always is eventually! You'll see. One of these times, we're going to stumble upon something that explains all of this, but that's only if we all keep working.

[cyan_maid]

R-Right...can't solve a mystery without persistence, after all. [She smiles softly.]

[ratherdoweddings]

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

[cyan_maid]

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

[ratherdoweddings]

That's as fair as anything! After all, we are allowed to "investigate" around here.

[cyan_maid]

That's true. I...really ought to get on that, then, huh?

[She doesn't have much of the heart to do it, though. Strange.]

[ratherdoweddings]

Don't worry! We'll all be right here with you. We all want to go home, right?

[cyan_maid]

Right.

[Not right.]
