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. ))

... depends. How do you feel about killers?

[nightcure]

[ Hmmmmm. ]

Alright. So you've killed some people.

Why?

[everylittlesecret]

Just one. A long time ago. It's just... that's about the time that I noticed everyone hated me. I never did anything. They hated me anyways.

[nightcure]

[ Ah. Gods, doesn't that get his heart to ache. Noctis leans forward a little, arms on the table. ]

What happened?

[everylittlesecret]

An accident. I was scared and my powers reacted. [This isn't fun to talk about.] My abilities are largely emotion based. Kids emotions are unpredictable and far more powerful since they don't understand the emotions... I set an innocent man on fire.

[nightcure]

[ Mm. He thought it might've been something like that. ]

How old were you, Nari?

[ His voice is soft, gentle. He reaches out... and lightly sets his hand on her arm. ]

[everylittlesecret]

[It startles her a little when he touches her, yet she doesn't pull away. Ardyn had done something similar the day before.]

Eight. It was at a party I didn't want to go to, but mom and dad forced me. The adults were political friends of theirs. They let my sister stay at home.

[nightcure]

[ ... god. That's even worse. ]

So you were already anxious, and some guy scared you. Activated your powers.

[everylittlesecret]

.......... I was locked in a closet by the other kids at the party. That man was only trying to help, but he was dressed as a clown.

[nightcure]

[ oh.

Shit. ]

... Sounds like those kids were little jerks.

[ He doesn't think he has to ask, but. ]

You regret it?

[everylittlesecret]

I thought it was normal back then since no one was ever nice.

[She huffs, looking visibly dusgruntled.]

Of course I do! Even more since it was covered up as a car accident! No one but me knows the truth, and I... I can't ever apologize to his loved ones.

[nightcure]

Who the hell would be mean to you?

[ He nods. ]

... Yeah, I thought so. Look, Nari... I don't hate you because you took someone's life by complete accident.

[everylittlesecret]

... before here? Everyone. They didn't have a reason. They just... hated me.

[Except Mira and Aiden. The two most wonderful people in her life, who don't know she's missing... Do they even care?]

But...... people hate killers.

[nightcure]

That's ridiculous. I think you're pretty great.

[ He sighs. ]

People hate killers if they do it because it's fun, Nari. You were only a kid. A kid who was scared.

[everylittlesecret]

No one else back home would agree with you, and I think that includes my parents and sister. The only ones who didn't mind me were animals.

[There's kids who kill for fun.]

I don't see how anyone could kill for fun. It's an awful feeling.

[nightcure]

... Yeah.

[ He sighs. Nari's family kind of sucks, don't they? ]

... You need a new family?

[everylittlesecret]

[She snorts softly.]

You... kind of sound like I did with Specs. Well, I offered her my apparently new last name. [Hmm...] New family sounds nice, though.

[nightcure]

Family should stand by you especially when you're feeling scared and alone.

I know we haven't known each other that long, but the offer's there if you ever want to take it.

[everylittlesecret]

[FUCK OFF MICHELLE]

... I haven't seen my family since I started college. Skype, but that's about it. [Seven years if the profile is correct.....] I'll take you up on it.

[nightcure]

[ make me ]

... Yeah? [ He smiles and nods. ] Welcome to the family, Nari.

[everylittlesecret]

Just one stipulation!

[It's gonna sound weird.]

I am not taking your last name since it seems like half the people here have got it. If you wanna share a name, you take mine, or we just don't do the name thing.

[nightcure]

Hah. Well, I'm pretty attached to my name, so... let's just not do the name thing.

You're an honorary Lucis Caelum, at any rate.

[everylittlesecret]

Cool..... If I remember my Latin, Lucis means light and Caelum means sky... [Just going to laugh a bit now.] If I were to use what my mom intended my name to mean, It would be Lily Light Sky. Skylight lily? Knowing aliens, they'd have a flower named that. I'd just call it a stargazer lily.
