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!))

[Pyrrha opens her eyes this morning, and for the first time in months of wondering and confusion, her mind feels whole again. It's all there. The empty spaces have been filled with images of moments she wished she could just relive. For some time... they really were happy.

That's why, on this day in Room One, Pyrrha leaps out of bed and comes for her sisters, Max and Fukawa. If they're still in bed, they're getting shook awake. Lightly, of course. She's not a monster.]

Hey! I think they're back- Everything, it's all come back!

[Still. Even the rush of good memories of her friends and family wouldn't keep Pyrrha's spirits up all day. She settles into more of a calm mood as she spends her day alongside two birds - Kipsie and Harold the robo parrot - who both seem keen to ride on their owner's shoulders at all times.

First thing she does in the day is head to the diner with her little companions. While Harold and Kipsie content themselves with whatever it is space birds do, Pyrrha's hard at work making food. She works hard, meticulously, showing the peak of her skills as she prepares a great amount of food. Some of it's healthy, some of it isn't, there's enough for everyone.

Which is the point, as when she's done, she gathers up a good lunch for herself and heads down to the garden. There, she sits, and takes everything in. The flowers, the birds, she makes sure to let Kipsie mingle with her family, Harold too, though he seems more keen on squawking for her sandwich. She promised she would take care of Kipsie, may as well extend that to the others as well.

She makes a quick stop at the concourses as well. They're just small pitstops at gates 3-5 and 4-20. Everyone should know why she's stopping by those by now.

Even later, when everyone should be asleep, Pyrrha is still awake. She's in the exercise yard, seated on the ground. If anyone walks in, they'll notice that she's got... a metal broom resting in her lap?

She turns her gaze up to the huge window, at the innumerable stars that blinked in and out of view. Billions of worlds out there, possibly watching them. And she speaks.]

If... if you're still there, I know what I tried to do was terrible... but I couldn't sit by. Now she's gone, but I'm still here... and I promised her I would stay. If you're still there, I will keep my promises. And no network, or Rox Petuu will stop me.

[It seems like she's just speaking to the air, but to her, it's very different. She's reaching out.]

diner

[ratherdoweddings]

Wow, that's a lot, Pyrrha-chan! There's some for everyone, huh?

[tokencanadian]

There sure is, Yurika. After... I've seen a lot of people make food in here, so I thought I would return the favor.

[ratherdoweddings]

It's definitely nice of you! I know we've all, well... gone through a lot, remembered each other, and things were worse for you.

[tokencanadian]

It definitely hasn't been easy. [Her shoulders sag slightly. But she can't rest, she has to finish up this sandwich.]

A-at least I now know what happened to get my group to the rest of you.

[ratherdoweddings]

A Sparby's run, of all things. Do you think the PIPs really are drawn to each other?

[tokencanadian]

Either that or we all have some kind of miraculous luck when we're outside of these situations!

[ratherdoweddings]

There comes a point where luck is a little...

[tokencanadian]

...A little bit like destiny, right?

[ratherdoweddings]

Destiny's a good word for it. Something's shaping it, we just don't know.

garden

[motherfucking_ghost]

Hey, Wonder Woman. [Church has sleeves rolled up and hands covered in dirt. Why bother with gloves, honestly?] No hangovers this morning, I hope?

[tokencanadian]

[Pyrrha lets Kipsie flutter out of her hands as she turns to regard Church.]

There's... a slight dullness in my head, but I'll admit I'm feeling much better then I did last night. How are you doing today, Church?

[motherfucking_ghost]

Good! Great. I mean, dying inside, but who isn't? Remembering hurts, but it's remembering. Which is one of the best things.

You want some space? I can go back to doing...stuff. Away from here.

[tokencanadian]

It certainly hurts! But... it feels nice, finally feeling all the spaces in my memory filled in.

[She looks at the birds, and down at the meal she brought down at her.]

...Actually, I think space is the last thing I want. Keeping close to everyone would be a smarter move, wouldn't it?

[motherfucking_ghost]

I think so, yeah. Gonna let everyone do their thing today, then we're gonna get everyone together tomorrow. Work shit out.

[Church dusts off his hands as best he can on his pants and comes to sit by her, drawing his knees up.]

Maybe memory really is the key all this time.

[tokencanadian]

That's a great way of looking at it. Now that we remember so much, clearly something we know will be able to help us, if we all come together and figure it out.

[She watches him, curiously.]

I... didn't know you gardened, Church.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I...don't...really. I don't. But Yuyu was a gardener, and...some of it means something.

It all means something, and I'm trying to respect that. Kinda peaceful, actually. Even if I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

[tokencanadian]

...I know what you mean. Nari asked me to take care of Kipsie, before she was... I just figured, what would be the best thing to do? I can't just leave the rest of the pigeons alone either.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Ardyn's never showed up. She...she should have been back on the ship, but...guess that wasn't safe, either. I'm just glad Nari ended up adopting one anyway, she hated those things at first.

[tokencanadian]

She did? With how much she loves them, that's... a little surprising.

[motherfucking_ghost]

She absolutely wanted nothing to do with them. Gross diseased flying rats, that sort of thing. I think Kippiebird just decided to follow and harass her until she gave in, or at least, that's how I'm gonna believe it happened. Kinda how you had to get to know her. Aggressively friendship her until she relented.

[tokencanadian]

...She really does have trouble seeing why someone would like her, so maybe she started feeling the same for other things.

[It's strange how being away from someone for a while can put a few things in perspective.]

ROOM ONE

[helladoptera]

[ Max stirs awake quickly, groggy. She remembers... there's so much she remembers now. But most important, over all the din...

"Don't- don't go getting wishy-washy on me again, alright? You're a fucking rockstar and-- just keep living."

Chloe. ]

I... yeah, I think so!

[tokencanadian]

I-it's great! I mean, I remember how we found the other groups, and where we stayed for a couple months. I can even recall how we got caught the last time!

...Not that that's actually a good thing, but you know what I mean. This is actually good news.

[helladoptera]

It's great news! It means that... well, no more amnesia mysteries. That right there counts for something.
