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. ))

Yes. The actual, literal Violent Jay and Shaggy 2 Dope from the Insane Clown Posse. I know it sounds - it's ridiculous. I won't deny that. But my friends had been warning me about the Condesce and her eventual cronies for years. And I...

[She stops short, pauses, then picks up again.]

...I didn't start to believe them until they showed me proof a few months ago.

[a10tionplz]

No, no, I don't think I would've believed that without proof either and- well. I've seen some things, as the kids say. Is that an actual thing the kids say? Doesn't seem like it would be, but here we are.

[cyan_maid]

They say "I've seen some shit", so, you are close.

[She sighs, resisting the urge to rub her temples.]

They became the Dual Presidents of the United States. And...and you're going to really think I'm crazy, but...there was also a High Champlain of Interstellar War that worked for the Condesce and with them. And it was Guy Fieri.

[a10tionplz]

[He gives this quiet, careful consideration for a long moment.]

...Miss Crocker, I'm beginning to strongly suspect that there's a slight chance you might be from a version of Earth on which history deviated at some point from the history with which I'm personally familiar. Just, you know, as a theory.

[cyan_maid]

I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.

[But at least he's not calling her crazy? Which is...strangely relieving.]

[a10tionplz]

I'll add it to the list, I guess.

[cyan_maid]

...The list of what, weird stuff?

[a10tionplz]

Oh. I've been trying to keep track of the years everyone's from, and any differences they've mentioned in their worlds. Did I not mention that?

[nightcure]

You know who that guy is, Doc?

[a10tionplz]

Not personally, just, you know, by reputation. He's a celebrity chef, known for being kind of- ...well, he'd probably fit in okay at that Flavortown restaurant, let's say that. Certainly not any kind of war minister, except maybe against low blood pressure and cholesterol.

[induality]

What kind of person changes that much in different timelines? H-he's probably unstable.

[Not only because of his aesthetic but also because of his aesthetic.]

[a10tionplz]

Depends on how far back the histories diverged. Go far enough back, have the same person live through entirely different circumstances-

[He wiggles a hand vaguely in the air.]

Butterfly effect, kind of thing. Which- bit poorly named, really. Good idea, but it tends to give butterflies a bit of an inflated ego.

[nightcure]

Sounds like Iggy'd have a field day with this guy.

So basically, the Guy Fieri you know and the one Jane knows are dramatically different. I've gotta admit... this whole alternate timelines thing sounds pretty wild.

[a10tionplz]

Iggy, good name. Friend of yours?

[motherfucking_ghost]

Right? Like the most fucked up version where fucking Juggalos do more than wear face paint and a tv chef does more than make arteries clog from a distance.

Like what the fuck. Are we in Jane's world?

[a10tionplz]

Maybe? Some kind of far distant future version of it, where Juggalos have taken on this kind of cultural significance in places other than Earth. ...Beyond just, you know, the way people are normally kind of terrified of clowns.

[cyan_maid]

...I don't think we could be. It - it's nigh impossible to get into...[Sburb? The dream bubbles? I mean, take your pick.] It just isn't in the cards at all.

[ratherdoweddings]

So we're not in your world, but we definitely are from all different ones. And this world might be similar to yours, at least with regards to the clown robots.

[cyan_maid]

...It might just be the rare and unusual phenomenon known as a coincidence.

[She doesn't want to scare anyone or get them too worried. This...if it's really what she thinks it is, then she has to figure that out and face it alone. No one here should have to deal with Sburb bullshit.]

[tokencanadian]

....Considering what we're all doing here in the first place, that... doesn't sound quite as ridiculous as other things I've seen?

[So you uh, got that going for you, Jane.]

[cyan_maid]

Maybe not? But I...I've denied a lot of things in my life that are ludicrous-sounding, that turned out to be true. I-I wouldn't blame anyone who thought I was blowing smoke up everyone's behinds.

[tokencanadian]

Well, I can't blame you for that - there was a time where I didn't believe that fairytales were true.... it turns out that they were.

[And it ruined her life.]

[cyan_maid]

Then...I guess we're all going to end up learning a lot of new things while we're here, aren't we?

[Fairytales are real. Juggalos are serious threats. We have an overabundance of Dads.]

[tokencanadian]

[Myths are fact, juggalo bots are raving at night, and everyone can have a roomba. It's a life.]

A lot of new things... no doubt. [There's something in her voice, something she'd like to say.]

... So, the juggalos are musicians? Or, uh, were I suppose.

[cyan_maid]

The two guys who kind of created the concept of them were. And they were pretty bad at it. Their fans - or, well, followers - those are the juggalos.
