week 6

[That certainly was a rude awakening. The champions may have lost their nun and their Doctor but they've gained two very important things: freedom from the simulation they've been living in for the past several weeks and a demoted Xander. Some of them may still desire his head on a plate but, like it or not, he is one of them once more.

There's no sign of life in the spaceport aside from PAL's omnipresent voice and SIS, the helpful asSIStant who has some control over certain heres and theres in the spaceport. She is available at all times and can appear anywhere if called.

The only area unexplorable so far are the double doors by the laundry room. They're locked tight and no amount of kicking or warpstriking will open them. But perhaps they'll open in due time.]

...Why.

What do you get out of this and what's your role here?

[thecounselor]

I'm just as trapped as the rest of you.

I knew of what Miss Crocker was capable of, and so I delayed the removal of Xander's body. It was fortunate that the Doctor took the opportunity presented to him when he did.

[burninglight]

'Fortunate'. More like 'convenient'. Count yourself lucky for Noctis and the others giving a damn about you for some reason, because I've yet to see any reason to turn my back on you.

[Ardyn's voice dropped to a growl, low and dangerous. He'd let go of Church by now, but stepped between him and Price with a cold and dark look even Starscourge couldn't replicate.]

If I ever hear you talk in a disparaging way about my Shield again, if I hear that name out of your mouth one more time, no written rule or force of nature in this universe will protect you from me.

Do I make myself clear.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Ardyn, c'mon, it's-- [For as hellaciously angry as Church had been, to see everyone else get up in arms is kind of embarrassing and also super touching. But like with Noctis, he can't finish the sentence.

Because it's not okay, is it?

So he lets it drop there.]

[burninglight]

[It's super not okay.]

[But Ardyn would reach back and take his hand, not dropping the cold glare from Price for a second.]

[thecounselor]

I did not use it out of malice, Mr. Ardyn.

[burninglight]

[oh no the fuck you didn't just steal jane's name for him.]

That's Your Highness to you. I may not be king in name, but I am Lucis Caelum by blood and will be respected as one.

[Or feared, since that was more what he was going for.]

[thecounselor]

Very well, Your Highness. I did not wish to presume, since I am aware enough of your...history to know that it is a contentious subject.

[burninglight]

Then you already know I don't make empty threats. Good, we've that out of the way.

I would hate to make the wrong impression and make you think I might be anywhere near as kind as my brother's descendant.
