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!]

Family tradition...

Oh.

[...Considering who else was probably named due to family tradition...]

I'm glad you stuck with something that's an actual name, then.

Yes... I always thought Battler's name was from one of those cowboy movies his father likes but...[Obviously not.]

...At least his sister has a normal name.

What's his sister's name?

[An honest question.]

She's called Ange. It's from the western word for angel, she fits her name. Or she did the last time I saw her.

Oh! That's pretty!

[AND ACTUALLY A NAME THANK GOODNESS]

Sometimes names can actually sound like what they mean, too, so it seems like a perfect fit to me!

[You'll be glad to know that Natsuhi's other possible child is called Lion.]

It is, she's a lovely girl. Though she's at the age were she gets ill a lot, so I probably won't see her this year.

[......no......]

Oh dear, I'm sorry to hear that. Is it one specific reoccurring illness? That happens a lot when you're a kid.

I'm not sure. It sound like it was just a cold, it's bad enough that she's staying with her grandparents for the conference.

Was it the same for you?

No, I was pretty lucky when I was younger. A cold here, a sore throat there, the odd ear infection, things like that. My Dad always took care of me and made sure I got all my vaccinations, too.

All children get them, at least he knew what to do. The worst thing to do is to panic.

Gosh, I guess so...thinking about it, I would've been awfully scared if he'd panicked.

[A soft sigh. Gosh, she hopes her Dad isn't worrying himself too sick over her.]

That's right. It's a parents job to care for and protect their children. From anything, even themselves sometimes-

... Is something wrong?

Hm? Oh...ah, it's nothing. I'm just thinking about my Dad, now. I hope he's alright.

I'm sure he's fine. Worried but fine...

Well, I know he can take care of himself just fine, but...him worrying leads to some very extreme things. He's moved the fridge to block the front door of our house before to keep me from going outside.

It's what fathers should do...

[She's just going to turn and look back at pigeons, and not so subtly change the topic.] I wonder if there are any other animals here.

Worry, or block doors with an entire fridge? Because I'm fairly certain one of those things is incredibly excessive.

[But she'll take the topic change.] I suppose we'll have to look around and see, won't we? I doubt living here is going to do the poor birds any good, anyway.

Who knows, we might just find an entire farm. And if the pigeons look like this...

...Oh no, we can't possibly have the space theme continue to extend to more animals. There's only so far it can go, I'm sure of it.

[Nebula pigs. Cosmic dust sheep. Moon chickens.]

Just imagine if they have sheep. Think of the wool we'd have...

But if we did, what would we do with the wool?

If there is a farm, I wouldn't be surprised if there was the equipment needed to process it.

...You know, I suppose I wouldn't be opposed to galactic wool sweaters.

[It's better than SILVER JUMPSUIT FOOTIE PAJAMAS]

We already have sewing equipment, and I'm sure they'll be something on knitting in the library.

[What about FOOTIE PAJAMAS WITH WOOLLY LEG/ARM WARMERS!?]
