week 9

[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!))

Yeah, remind me when I see Xander to chuck something at his head because fuck that was not fun whatever he did.

[Jane can hold on for a bit before Nari pulls away enough to hand her a cup.]

Mind watching my new friend for a moment?

I-I'm sure he didn't mean anything t-to be bad...

[But she nods, smiling, and takes the cup, casually peering inside. Who dis?]

[A pair of tiny antennae peek cautiously out of the sludge.]

...Huh?

[Getting up close to peer at these antennae, she's still a little teary but that's abating so no worries about getting cried on, little friend.]

Nari...who's your new friend?

That's Tolly. Well, Tolresch.

[Tol-resk]

She was in the cell with me. A gentle friend.

I see...that's...what if that's where they kept the others during the week we got out? In cells like that? Did they look similar, do you recall?

[Jane's brow furrows, but she still gives the Yeerk her best smile.] Sorry about your little home, Tolresch. But...it's nice to meet you regardless!

No... These were like TSA holding cells. And they're here. In this spaceport.

[She looks worried.]

I need to find them. They're starving in there.....

W-What?!

[What the fuck, Jane nearly drops the cup when she hears that, but she keeps her grip on it enough so Tolresch is okay.]

Jesus Christ, we - we've got to get out of here, we've got to get them out of there, we...oh my God...

Calm down, Janey. They weren't on deaths door. Humans can survive twenty eight days without food, and if anything it's only been a few weeks. We gotta find them, first, and get their door open.

Even so, that...that's fucked up! On top of everything else, they feel like they can just chuck people into a cell and let them rot, it's...

[Guess who's going to cook like the dickens after any meetings are had]

We'll get them out. I promise. I would have tried but I........ Kind of drppped the cube.

...It's okay. We've got you, and we've got your new friend here...that's a good start. What does, erm...do you know what Tolresch eats?

..... I'm... Not sure. Maybe light? She had a sun lamp, and her sludge water... I didn't ask, and she can't exactly talk.

[Thank god the lamp came too; it’s knocked over and glowing red in the sludge.]

[THANK GOD OR WHOEVER]

I think we just need a new tank since the lamps on one piece.

Oh! Oh, good, okay. Uh...shit. Where do we even get a new tank? We can't exactly empty the whole aquarium...

No... And we need to be able to transport it.

Right, of course. Uh...do you think we have, like...glass jars? Would that work?

Glass wouldn't melt under the light... So that would work.

Oh gosh but we have to find the jars first, and we don't have any new places open...uh...shoot, I guess we're going to have to go through all the kitchens? But that's not a bad thing, I wanted to make food to bring in our escape anyway...we're going to need a lot, probably, right? Oh geez...
