Week 8

[airlockedmods]

[This weekend has brought about some unusual questions about your resident robotic Overseer, but unfortunately, you've also lost two more of your own to an accidental death.

You've done your best with the star charts, but if anyone is coming to help you, there is no sign of it yet. SIS remains the only friendly face here, even as you've found that she holds her own secrets. Meanwhile, yet another new floor has opened up - the elevators are in perfect working order now, if any of you care to go and see it. That's four concourses now; one for each of your groups. There's an awful lot of dead, aren't there?]

...How?

[why]

[tokencanadian]

[She's honestly not even meaning to. She's either really good at this, or not at all.]

...Oh. Umm, I think nine is free?

[And far away from her sisters and dad.]

[airlockedmods]

[There is...really not a lot that isn't void-y at this point. And was the void that close to her feet before or is it just her imagination?]

[ratherdoweddings]

Wait, so you went all the way to a geomagnetic pole and suddenly you were there? Like some kind of teleporter? ...You know, now that I say that out loud, I of all people shouldn't be so astounded.

[ratherdoweddings]

You see, I got these boots as a boon this week, and they're very useful! I can make myself float or use it on other things for a while, too! Just... I haven't worked out all the directions yet.

[everylittlesecret]

Then let's go nine.

[Veering off to nine now. SORRY JUNPEI YOU'RE ROOM IS FREE]

[tokencanadian]

[Junpei died so Nari could join the rest of her round in sin. Thanks, Junpei.

At least Pyrrha isn't stumbling anymore. she's there with ya, Nari.]

[Thursday morning sees Church shirtless. Again. And drinking something out of Spacebucks that seems to be more sugar than coffee. ...Although if you watch, he only takes about two sips before throwing it out, muttering something about 'what the fuck was I thinking' before going back on his merry horny way.

He also brings presents! The gift of a whole fuckload of markers. They come in varying shades of red and blue! Gee that...that sure is just a lot of them huh. (There are in fact 69 of them if anyone wants to count. Nice.) He brings a convenience store bag of many of them to each concourse, because despite the horndoggedness, he hasn't forgotten about the star maps Yurika's been tirelessly working on. He just...has been working on other things or been otherwise consumed with lust for the morning. Please go nuts, on the totally-not-a-map, on the walls, on the floor, on the tattoo on his back, whatever. He'll be wiggling his ass and flexing his pecs all morning long while he doodles things that are totally not stars.

By afternoon, he's run out of horny again, and he's feeding the pigeons in the garden, fiddling with phones more in universe, places some of his bottles of molotovs in various rooms so there's always something close by just in case of burning, and when he's done with that? He's getting more booze. And he's gathering up packs of gelatin. And going to the restaurant? Getting out ice cube trays--oh.

By evening. He's got jello shots. And he leaves a note for everyone. That note? Party In Room 7!!! It's short notice and impromptu, but Pyrrha thinks we need more of his stupid shenanigans, and god damn it, why not?

In one corner of the room, it's a bunch of junk. Just, stuff that had been gotten out of the duty-free, between him, Ardyn, and Junpei. One of them is a strange metal egg-shaped thing, purple with some pink round areas. Nari and Arianna will recognize it as Kip's PAK. I'm sure that'll be fine. There's a lot of pillows on the floor! That used to be Junpei's bed but shh it's okay he's not using it any more, and maybe he's added more pillows, for comfort! In another corner of the room is where just about every plush in the entire spaceport has gone. It looks super cozy. Maybe if everyone shows up it'll be a little cramped, but...there aren't that many of them left, huh? Come have some jello shots. Maybe byob? Bring a game idea? Maybe bring actual food?

Being around the PAK with time will make one feel......horny. And if you dare to get close to it, then the closer you are, maybe don't, unless you want to start acting more and more like Kip. Maybe, just maybe, this is what's been making Church all weird in the morning! If anyone figures it out.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Instead of cutting everyone up to tiny shreds? I mean, I hope so, too.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Yeah! Yeah, I'm...fiddling. I don't know if anyone left is, uh, tech-y, so...gotta learn. And maybe we can find a way to talk to other people. Maybe in other languages. [like...binary...]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Yeaaaaaaaah. [FLEX]

[motherfucking_ghost]

You seem way more attached to the little punk, but I don't necessarily disagree.

[motherfucking_ghost]

You got your food, you got your drink, you got some space, that's really all you need when it comes to a party.

[daughterofthemark]

[Well, the good news is Arianna doesn't seem to have gotten worse since yesterday! The bad news is she really hasn't gotten any better, either, if breakfast is any indication--she still spends it talking to Sir Canaan in the diner.

After breakfast, she has something important to attend to. She searches around the spaceport, looking for people from season 4: Noctis, Pyrrha, Max, and Fukawa. I think at this point we can guess what she's up to.

She spends part of her afternoon on the holodeck today, recreating what looks like a forest in the fall and letting Sir Canaan and Dumpy fly around. And occasionally pulling a holographic leaf off of Dumpy's eye.]

[daughterofthemark]

[...yeah the void definitely looks closer than it was before.

Arianna is curious and all but in the Labyrinth you learn a thing or two about weighing curiosity against wanting to not die. This is definitely an Ariadne Thread kind of moment.]

Dame SIS? I--would like to depart now, please.

[airlockedmods]

[That same sleepiness as before overtakes Arianna almost immediately and when she closes her eyes she'll feel it fade quickly. When she opens them again SIS is hovering over her in the pod, a worried expression clouding her face.]

That was not supposed to happen. Are you alright?

[daughterofthemark]

[She's expecting it this time, so nothing gets thrown across the room.]

I believe I am. What happened? How did I come to be there?

[airlockedmods]

I am not sure. The readings didn't say anything about a change in the simulation unless there was another glitch like before.

[daughterofthemark]

Well, there most certainly was a change. I had never even seen that place before.

[airlockedmods]

It seemed...familiar. I will have to look into this further.

Are you sure you are well?

around the spaceport

[tokencanadian]

[Pyrrha herself is just out by the elevators, checking for possibly the fourth or fifth time this week that they weren't still malfunctioning. So it's very likely she'll run into her.]

diner

[ratherdoweddings]

Oh! Uh... hello!

[Yurika seems a little preoccupied. Maybe it's because the plate of pancakes in front of her is floating.]

[kingshaming]

Ah... that is... a question. I can not easily go home, and if I could explain away my death then I would be made king. I could not put the pressures of a broken kingdom on her feet... and I certainly don't deserve the honor anymore.

But her world has complications as well. I will not go into details since I don't fully understand it. But it was being reborn, with her as it's steward. Even if I go to her world, we might not be able to be together, and she would not abandon it- I would not ask her too.

...well, I in a way did, but I know it's a pointless fantasy.

[cyan_maid]

Oh, he wouldn't do that! You're not a direct threat to me.

[airlockedmods]

I would be happy to offer advice as needed!
