the mock mingle

[An hour ago you woke up in a bed that wasn't yours, awakened by a chirpy, feminine voice coming from the device on your non-dominant arm. The voice cheerfully requests that you exit your sleeping quarters and to please make your way to the the main deck of the ship for a debriefing on your circumstances.

It was around this time you might have noticed the clothes you last remember wearing are gone and replaced with this little number. If you take a moment to check out the Personal Identification Program on your arm, you'll find a touch screen with a few icons that lead to a series of 21 profiles and a series of apps that lead to note-taking functions and a number of customization appearance screens. The profiles all contain a photo of each Champion, their name and title, their age, species and world of origin.

As you stumbled out of your chrome-y quarters (into an equally chrome-y hallway), with every step the floor lights up under your feet, illuminating the dark ship a little at a time. On one side of the hallway are a series of mechanical doors with screen pads embedded on the walls next to them. A quick flash of your PIP will open them for you without hassle. On the opposite side of the hallway are a long string of windows showing nothing but vast amounts of stars and the deep, dark blackness of deep space. Once you reach the end of the hallway you'll find a large central living space with 20 other people, the same people from the profiles, either there already or filing in along with you. Floating well above everyone's heads in the middle of the room is a large computer screen. Once everyone piled in, the screen blinked to life and the same voice from your PIPs greeted you in the same peppy tone from before.

The voice introduced herself as the Champion Excellence Control Environment or C.E.C.E. before welcoming you to the Deep Space Champion Excellence Program, explaining that you were selected for this program based on being the best in your particular field in your particular world, hence the title of "Champion". In this program you will be expected to live communally together here on the ship for as long as possible. The ship is fully-functional and fully-stocked for an extended stay.

Oh? You don't want to stay and participate in the program? That's alright, there's an easy fix to that! All you have to do is kill one of your fellow Champions and not get caught. That is easy enough, right? Right.

When the debriefing is complete, the screen dims but doesn't turn off completely. If need be C.E.C.E. is available to answer any more questions you have throughout the week. For now, you're free to explore the ship as you like. There's the communal dining hall, a zero gravity room, a kitchen, a holo deck, the central living area and the personal quarters everyone woke up in.

Go make some friends, dears, you may be here a while.]

Me also what? [He gives one more push of willpower and effort directed down the hall, only to, once more, have nothing happen. sadtrombone.mp3]

You have lost your connection to your abilities.

...Yes. [If she's the same, then no sense not owning up to it. He stands straighter, crossing his arms.] Even my speed is not nearly what it once was. I can understand the reasoning, I just don't understand the method.

So yours should be part of you, instead of from an external source?

Some of my enhanced abilities are natural to me, yes. I don't know how they would be able to dampen that. [He'd also like his chaos abilities thanks but honestly his super sonic speed is a start.]

Oh. I thought that I simply did not have mine because my computer's reach did not extend beyond the school.

And no matter what distance from an energy source I might be, I should still be able to perform some of my usual attacks. [Which means there's either no chaos energy at all to harness from, or whatever reduced his speed also altered his attacks. Which isn't good either way.]

Some kind of...dampening field, or surgical alteration, or gene therapy while we were out? I don't know what they're playing at, but it had better be reversible.
have_a_heart: Kanade linefacing cluelessly. (i don't know why you even bother)

Strange. They do seem to be able to perform miracles of some sort.

[personal profile] damnfourthemerald 2017-01-11 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Miracles...I wouldn't call it that.

Impossible things?
