Week 7

[airlockedmods]

[Well that weekend sucked. The Champions are down a dad and a bean and shrinking their numbers smaller and smaller, less and less.

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 (and PAL) are available at all times and can appear anywhere if called. There is, however, a new floor to explore. Just hop in the elevator and pchoo.]

[ After the motive, Max kind of... vanishes, for a couple. Hours? A couple hours. Until eventually she emerges from the bathroom with... purple hair? Huh. That's different. ]

Where did the red come from? I could have sworn I grabbed... whatever.

[ So that's a Max thing from here on out. Take that, licensed merch. Anyway, she spends a lot of the rest of the day with some notebooks in the diner, furiously scribbling. It looks like she's making... profiles? Of all the people from Round 3 she really interacted with. ]

Let's see how well your "make them forget shit" plan works when I go Memento on you...

[ ... Probably it will still work great, but she can try?

She also takes breaks from these 1-2-page profiles to keep working on a nearly 6-page one about one Chloe Price. It just keeps growing. ]

Bathroom

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Junpei's turn to disappear into the bathroom for hours, except--]

...Max?

[helladoptera]

[ Sometimes you just gotta. ]

Oh, uh... hey, Junpei. It doesn't look terrible, does it?

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Whoo okay let's recalibrate his brain from fuckfuckfuckfuck to human interaction mode once more. He blinks, then shakes his head with a kind of queasy smile.]

Naw. It's a good color. Suits you.

[That's sincere, at least.]

[helladoptera]

Thanks. I was going for blue, but... I must have grabbed the wrong dye or something.

[ it's not that, no one has ever told her how to do this and she just tossed the dye into her hair

save her ]

You... okay?

[misanthropicprinciple]

Sure. Fine. All good.

[He is the human personification of a silent, cosmic scream.]

[helladoptera]

You don't look too sure, fine, or all good. Which it's okay to be, right now.

[misanthropicprinciple]

...Okay, I'm at the point where I can't hear my own self think because I'm screaming so loud, internally. Which is awesome. Great. You know, as opposed to sure, fine, and good.

[helladoptera]

That's. Yeah, that sounds familiar.

[ She looks around. ]

Want to... go to the holodeck or somewhere and scream externally? Would that help?

[misanthropicprinciple]

The what?

[Junpei only glanced in that room. He has no idea what it does.]

[Hey, Pyrrha had to also go do something, and by the time she finds Max, she's got... something. Also, hoo boy that panic is starting to set in, but she's managing. She's okay.

She has to double take, though.]

...Max? Is that you?

[helladoptera]

[ Max smiles a little. ]

Sure is. What do you think?

[tokencanadian]

You... [remind her of Ardyn.]

It's something I think I'll have to get used to, but it looks nice!

[helladoptera]

[ o o p s ]

Thanks. I was... I could have sworn it was blue? But purple is good too.

[tokencanadian]

[It's fine. She's fine.]

Purples a combination of red and blue, so you're close! So you just felt like trying a color, huh?

[helladoptera]

Yup. I just kind of... needed a change.

[tokencanadian]

A change is... always good, it's healthy even. [Haha...] I'm not sure if I could ever see myself doing it though. The short hair I woke up with was enough of a surprise as it was.

[helladoptera]

You sure? There's a bunch of dye here, I'll help you. It could be fun!

[tokencanadian]

Well... [Do they really want to ignore the important turn of events that this morning brought?]

I'll be honest, I've never actually dyed my hair before. But it does sound like fun!

diner

[myocordial]

[Well, the notes are interesting, although Heart does blink briefly at the new color.]

...Ah. In the mood for a change, were you?

[helladoptera]

I guess so. I'm used to... playing it pretty safe, so I figured I might as well walk somewhere kind of in the direction of the wild side today.

[myocordial]

Hm, it's a good look. Purple is a fine color.

[The best color depending on who you ask.]

Ah, but... you were writing something. I'm not interrupting too much, am I?

[helladoptera]

[ I HOPE SOMEWHERE A SCORPION IS ROOTING FOR HER ]

No, just... trying to write some stuff down about people. So even if I forget, I can remind myself.

bathroom

[induality]

[Fukawa was walking past and almost didn't think to stop. But when it does sink in she blinks and turns around quickly.]

...Max?

[Hey they're not too far from matching now.]

[helladoptera]

H-Hey, Fukawa.

[ Does a sheepish turn. ]

How does it look?
