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. ))

Then I think we'd have to get ALL of the blankets in Splankets. Are you okay?

...

[Maybe the lack of immediate response should be worrying, but if she looks, he's staring out the skylight with a look of almost awe.]

...We should get all the blankets in Splankets.

...You are definitely okay.

[She snorts, sits up, and starts to crawl out of the pile.]

And that is the most excellent idea I have heard today.

I'm better than okay, I'm amazing. And then there's just this big comfy warm spot in the middle of this, and, as long as people promise to clean up their crumbs or let a roomba crawl around on it sometimes, everyone can come join.

[He gets up, or tries to--there we go. Good ol' ab muscles working like a dream. Wonder where he got those from.]

It's a blanket fort but like in reverse.

[It's a mystery.]

I wasn't planning on bringing food in there, but I can oblige that if people clean up. You don't just leave a mess in a girl's pile, after all, even if it is in itself sort of a mess.

[snerk]

You...should be really glad one of my buddies isn't around to hear you talking about messy girl piles...

Huh? Why, what's so-

[Wait.]

Oh, geez, that's gross...

Unfortunate side-effects of having a total and utter pervert in your squad.

No, no, I...we knew our fair share of perverts, my friends and I. That is to say, we knew one, and he was a black hole of foul and rude things.

Tucker's not really a black hole...he just has one. He just knows what he likes. And what he likes is women. And sex jokes. And saying bow chicka bow wow at innuendo.

But that aside, not a bad dude, actually. Just a...dude.

Oh, there's nothing wrong with a dude who is a dude, I don't mean that. Calliope's brother is just...he's awful.

Like gross gonna get punched in the face and kicked in the nuts awful?

That, plus him enjoying the entire experience of being punched and getting kicked because that's his idea of reciprocation.

...Wow. That's...special.

Yeah. Just...fuck that guy.

[Not literally of course.]

Some people don't deserve to breathe the same air as literally anyone else.

[HEY LOOK BLANKETS let's just start piling those over his shoulder.]

Like, I hate the people I knew back home, but not enough to want them to die. I mean I'd threaten it all day, but they weren't bad guys. [That's not how you define hate, Church?]

...Like, friend threatening? Over the top and stuff, right?

[Like when we all yell at each other on die day]

Yeah, basically like that. I hate them but they're my team. Buncha dumbasses. [said fondly]

I think I get that.

[Though she's far too polite to refer to her friends fondly as dumbasses. That kind of waits until she's really mad and really means it.]

I spent like a year without anyone once, and let me tell you, no matter how much you think you can't stand someone, they'll be almost like your new best friend the second they show up. Or old best friend. Or friend.

...Is that so.

[I dunno, it's really hard to imagine wanting to pal it up with Jake after not seeing him for a year, considering their history.]

To be fair, I did also try to shoot him at first...

...Good thing I don't use guns, then.

I'm not saying I'd welcome my worst enemy with open arms, but when you're stuck with nobody else to talk to but yourself for that long? You get real sick of your own voice. Especially when you talk as much as I do.

...Yeah, you do like to talk. But that's not a bad thing.

[It fills up the quiet so she doesn't have to talk.]
