week 9

[airlockedmods]

[Nine weeks, seven cases, eight Champions remaining. Something has to give and it's bound to be soon.

There is no new floor opened this time but SIS and PAL still seem to be active and ready to interact.]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday


((Since this is the final week, there's no AC this week! But don't forget to check your memory regains, and submit for regains! The final rolls will be Sunday night (4/1)! We will also be posting the official endgame announcement later today!))

Tea for your thoughts? I know I can at least boil water.

[Yurika peers over Church's shoulder.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Hm? Oh, um. Just...trying to work some things out. Thoughts. About...stuff. Me, the situation, people I know and knew. [If she's nosy, she can probably start reading the first line or so, something along the lines of If this is the last thing I ever get to say, I just want to-- but he shuffles to something else, looks like a list of some supplies around the spaceport?]

I dunno. Shit's gonna happen this week, I know it. I'm trying to get my own shit in order before it does.

Hey, um, are we okay? With the uh. When I got all...flirty at...people, that wasn't--uh. I didn't mean...all that.

[ratherdoweddings]

[Yurika giggles and shakes her head.]

Of course! After all, you were under the influence of something, right? My world has technology that messes with your head too, you know. I should be sorry that I just thought it was cabin fever.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I didn't even know anything was--I mean, after, when it, y'know, got all worked out by lunchtime, I knew it was weird, but...I dunno, I didn't think enough of it.

Sorry for yelling at you at the trial, too.

[ratherdoweddings]

No, it's fine! I was being insensitive. I suppose I can be like that, and since I'm not the leader here, people can more easily, you know, call me out on it? Though they did a lot of that back home, too, so I guess that doesn't have anything to do with it.

Do you want some tea? This one's called "Vampire Novel." It... well, I thought it was appropriate at the time.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Ha, Vampire Novel? Did someone make some Twilight-based tea? Yeah, I'll have some.

[ratherdoweddings]

[Yurika giggles and pours some into a Spacebucks collector's mug, then hands it over.]

I'm not sure about that. I think all the ones with the weird names are mine. I got them from Andromedagio in a big set, but didn't remember until now.

[motherfucking_ghost]

You made the teas with the silly names? ...Even the one that had coffee in it?

[ratherdoweddings]

I didn't make them, I just ordered them online! And, well... I'm not sure about that one, but I suppose it fits them.

[motherfucking_ghost]

What, you got--

Is this Airlocked merch?

[ratherdoweddings]

Only slightly! It's fanmade, see, so they don't put any actual references on aside from pairing names. That's why we didn't understand where it came from for so long!

[motherfucking_ghost]

So...'Vampire Novel'...is...

Soma and Fuku, like, as a couple, but like...in tea form...?

[ratherdoweddings]

You've got it! It's raspberry, and there's a bit of chocolate in there! Not as much as "Corporate Crime" had, though, that was dark chocolate orange. And the coffee one from earlier was "Latte Art," which is Jamie-san and Bolton-san!

I just thought, with how important our relationships are to ourselves and to the fans, while the network taunted us with them, that we should take them back for ourselves.

[motherfucking_ghost]

............Is there one for me and Ardyn?

[ratherdoweddings]

I remember getting some packs of Chardyn, but I haven't seen any yet. Maybe someone else got them out of the shop.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Char--wh--di--

Is that our named spliced together?!

[ratherdoweddings]

It's a very common ship name practice in fandoms throughout history, I'll have you know.

[motherfucking_ghost]

What do those words MEAN?

[ratherdoweddings]

I can try and explain a few things if you would please stop yelling first!

[motherfucking_ghost]

...I will try!

[ratherdoweddings]

[Yurika takes a deep breath.]

Okay! What's the first thing you wanted to know about?

[motherfucking_ghost]

...Fandoms. Is like. That's just groups of fans. Right? Like, there's an Airlocked fandom that makes shit like fuckface Ardyn pillow covers because they're...fans. Like nerds that go to conventions and stuff. Yeah?

And what the fuck's a ship if it's not a...ship...

[ratherdoweddings]

Yes, that's true! I think Shiratori-san said it was short for "fanatic domain" or something. I haven't seen any Ardyn-san dakimakura, but they probably exist. And ship is short for relationship!

[motherfucking_ghost]

Oh. They exist. You should've seen Noct's face when I showed him one.

I had one because Ardyn and I thought it was hysterical, he had a figure with his fuckface on it for the same reason. I guess I just didn't know there was a word for being a nerd for something. Usually we just call that...being a nerd.

[ratherdoweddings]

[Yurika bursts out into giggles.]

That's amazing, though. I'm sure there would've been plenty at Vegas Quadrant Culture-Con when we went, if it weren't for your seasons not airing yet. Maybe this year, if we haven't blown the whole thing open by then.
