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 hell away from you!

[ he is not dealing with some weird shit with a terrified kid in his arms, thanks ]

[airlockedmods]

Awwwww, that's not f-fair! You lookin' for a party?

[Robot Three is hella caj about this]

[nightcure]

Not with you!

[airlockedmods]

We've got tunes!

[The robot's mouth opens, and starts glowing as well.





The mouth and eyes then start flashing in multicolors as this starts playing from speakers within, probably, the robot's torso.]

[nightcure]

Nope!

[ he's ducking into a damn store, screw that ]

[airlockedmods]

[Suddenly, the two of you have CEASED TO BE.

The robot looks around for a second as if confused, and then shoves a piece of the pizza into its mouth and eats it.

No, the pizza doesn't actually seem to have anywhere to go in there. It's sort of a mess.]

[nightcure]

[ Noctis peeks out briefly, and--

What the fuck.

Okay. Enough of that. Dear god. ]

[cyan_maid]

[OH SWEET LORD MAKE IT STOP

Jane's trying to not scream anymore but she's just going to curl up and press her hands to her mouth and please keep her away from them Noctis, this is bad this is so bad]

[nightcure]

[ He holds her a little closer, and just to make sure, creeps further into the store. He kneels down, still not putting her down. ]

Jane-- you with me?

[cyan_maid]

[Is she with you? Physically, yes. Mentally, yeah, for the most part, because it's hard to ignore what is actually happening in this moment. But emotionally? Nah son, she's somewhere else entirely. She's in the darkness, screaming as a shock rockets through her brain and body. She's with Roxy, horrified and wracked with guilt at the undeniable evidence of her world as it became after November 11th, 2011. And she's-

Something-

Something that she can't remember, but the feeling is the same, the terror and the incredible need to be close to someone, but it's mingling with a slowly encroaching shame. If she'd just been quiet, they could have observed these - these fucking robot juggalos and figured out their weaknesses, and she's holding onto Noctis like he's a life preserver when she barely knows him.

So she doesn't say anything, but. Shifts. Her face is wet and hot and pressed up against his shoulder. It is as if a switch had been flipped in this girl, and she's now an entirely different person.]

[nightcure]

Hey-- I'm here, and I'm not letting you go. They won't lay a hand on you, as long as I'm around.

[ His voice is soft and steady, and he wraps his arms around her to hold her close. It's true, they hardly know each other, but. He's a protector, isn't he? And Jane is a good kid. Whatever those things are... it's triggered something inside her. He just hopes he can pull her out of it. ]

Just hold onto me, as long as you need to.

[cyan_maid]

[And she holds.

She holds, and tries to calm her breathing, but it's not easy - it's not, because she's shaking now, and behind her eyelids is red, everything is red, had she been overlooking all of this red? How did she overlook this Flavortown bullshit? Stupid, stupid, stupid-]

It's - they're - j-juggalos...just like - it's just like...they're hers, they have to be h-hers, I've been so blind...

[nightcure]

[ So she knows what they are. Okay. Something from her world, then. Noctis rubs soothing circles on her back and breathes deeply, evenly. Maybe it'll help her, too. ]

Jane... You're sure they're from your home?

[cyan_maid]

[She nods furiously.]

It was - they were just - some stupid rappers with a clown gimmick, and then - and then she - she made them leaders...with stupid Guy Fieri and they...m-my friends showed me, they ruined my entire world...all because of her...

[nightcure]

[ He curses quietly under his breath, but his hands don't stop for a moment. ]

... Jane... Who ruined your world? Could she be responsible for this?

[cyan_maid]

I don't know...I-I don't know if she...

[She's really not sure of anything right now, but Noctis wants a name. And a name she can provide.]

The Condesce...
