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.]

Believe me, I know all about not coming up with obvious ideas. But we're a group, not just one person, and I'm sure you've come up with a lot of great things!

[daughterofthemark]

...no, I have not. I've been entirely useless.

[ratherdoweddings]

Since when? You told us about Jamie-san! You held the sleepover where we were able to talk to him! You helped with that meeting after the trial and you've always given moral support.

[daughterofthemark]

At best I've provided places for other people to do things. And my "moral support" has been worthless.

[ratherdoweddings]

We're all working together, so what's wrong with facilitating for others? It's helping other people.

[daughterofthemark]

I'm not certain my power of finding a table in the food court will be what enables us to escape.

[It comes out sounding more bitter than she intended. More bitter than she's ever intended, actually.]

[ratherdoweddings]

Arianna-chan, you know you're more than that. No matter how much the people behind this want us all to feel useless. They might break us apart, but we have to put ourselves back together!

[daughterofthemark]

And why should I pull myself together? So that I can break again? Because that seems to be my area of expertise! I should have been Champion of Despair, because that is a realm in which I've yet to fail!

[ratherdoweddings]

Arianna-chan. Don't you dare say it's not worth it to build yourself back up again every time something breaks. You haven't failed. This isn't over yet!

I've done nothing but fail! Fail, over and over, at doing what a Sovereign does! I failed to see the paths Rii-san and Dame Thomasin had set themselves upon! I failed to support Dame Natsuhi and Sir Soma with anything beyond meaningless words! I failed to engender the trust that would have saved Sir Togami and Sir Varric!

2/2

[daughterofthemark]

And I failed at using my Order skills effectively, when Clarith's life was on the line!

[ratherdoweddings]

If any of that was your fault, then it's my fault, too, and the fault of everybody else in this spaceport! You've done everything you can to keep the people you love safe, and yes, sometimes it doesn't go well. Sometimes it fails. Sometimes you end up having to do what you never wanted to think about. But nothing you ever did here was meaningless.
