Week 3

[Come week 3 of the Champion Excellence Program the high-flying feelings that came with the dodgeball game last week has dissipated, especially after the...everything that was that trial. Satan Mask sure was a thing that happened.

Just like last week, right on the dot at 7 am, the mechanical woman's voice chimes to awaken the remaining champions on Sunday morning. After the initial wake-up call though there's a new message tacked on:]

Congratulations, Champions! By surviving your second trial, you have unlocked the third floor of the ship. A new mini map has been added to your P.I.P.! To access the second floor please stand on the teleporter and select the floor you wish to be teleported to.

[And again the Champions are awakened they have regained one new memory from the ones they've lost. Starting again on Sunday, as well, Jamie and Bolton will be back to their usual office hours in their usual locations.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday


[ooc: welcome to week 3, everyone! Check-in has begun and don't forget to submit your memory regains!]

McBurn... [He adjusts the holodeck settings again, returning the city to its intact state.] Your vote of confidence means quite a bit, considering you're among those I still feel as if I can trust. However, wilfully ignored many things that should have revealed to me my mistake, all because of my own desires to make a difference in the world. How can I trust my own judgment, after having chased a lie for so long?

[almightyconflagration]

Same way I did. I certainly didn't gain this level of control overnight.

[He's silent for a moment, thinking.]

You know...it's been so long, I'd forgotten what it feels like. To have someone around who understands me, who communicates in the same manner. I suppose that's why I chose to confide in you these doubts.

For now, at least, the path is clear. I'm not the only one here with a betrayal fresh on their mind, and Xander will no doubt need assistance in keeping everyone together. With that in mind, I would appreciate it if you...kept these confessions to yourself. The people here would certainly doubt my motivations if they knew of the blood already on my hands.

[almightyconflagration]

That isn't an issue. I don't have a need to forgive your past, but most of them won't see beyond it.

[And after all, he's hiding his true self behind a lazy act and only giving enough to keep himself from becoming a target. He gets that secrets need to be kept.]

I may tell them in time, but only if such a moment comes when their trust and respect is no longer significant to all of us. For the moment, merely having someone who has listened and continued to extend his friendship is enough to...carry me through for now.
