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!))

[Jane's here, practically vibrating from the earlier events and all they've learned so far. God, where do they start? What do they do?]

...O-Okay, so...honestly, I don't have anything to really...I-I want to hear what everyone else's got. And then...I guess I can try to help make a plan? Or plans? E-Either way, I was thinking of cooking a bunch today so we have food to bring with us for whatever we end up doing. At least for a little while.

[motherfucking_ghost]

SIS is CECE the robot. I guess we should get that out of the way first. She's in contact with people on the outside. They needed a starmap to find us, cuz this place isn't...in the place it's supposed to be. Help is coming.

But we can't just sit back and wait for them to break us out.

1/3

[cyan_maid]

...

2/3

[cyan_maid]

Wh-

3/3

[cyan_maid]

SIS is-?!

[She's stuck on that please help]

[motherfucking_ghost]

...Yeah? The...the hedgehog robot girl, the--Ein's daughter AI? Yeah.

[cyan_maid]

...Holy shit...

[And now everything else is filtering in. She's contacting people on the outside. They're coming. They needed star charts - is that what Yurika's art was all about?]

S-So, wait...what do we need to do to help these people help us?

[motherfucking_ghost]

That's kinda what I'm hoping we figure out from talking shit out and planning. We still have to find out where the bodies are and everything. SIS said this place is way bigger than we thought it was so...I guess they could be anywhere.

[cyan_maid]

...You know...there is something I've been wondering, actually. About the concourses. Why are they how they are, why are they monuments to the dead? Why bother leaving their items out and pictures up like that? Maybe it's just about calling back to the other "seasons", but...generally, a concourse is supposed to lead to something, isn't it?

[motherfucking_ghost]

I mean, to shuttles, generally. The ones that aren't there? SIS has been doing some scans to see if she can find the bodies, dunno that she's actually found anything we can track.

[airlockedmods]

[Speak if the hedgehog devil and she shall appear, nyooming into the bathrooms in the hedgehog body that's been parked at the information desk for about a week now.]

Salutations, Jane! It is good to be able to speak to you as myself again.

[cyan_maid]

...Oh my God...

[She just. Stares for a moment before coming in and giving this hedgehog AI a big hug.]

Oh my God!!

[airlockedmods]

[Oh! She knows how to do this now! Jane is getting a very strong hug from this hedgebot.]

[cyan_maid]

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!]

You - with Jamie, I didn't - you were w-with him, right? What happened? How did you escape?

[airlockedmods]

Jamie and I were successfully able to infiltrate InterGal 7 as an intern shortly before the new season started. I assisted him in acting as Lady Consequence until his capture. He managed to successfully upload me from his smart glasses to the spaceport AI system. [She tilts her head and if she had an expressive face she'd be smiling.] They had no idea.

[tokencanadian]

[Boy is it suddenly really cold in here? Why did Pyrrha just shiver?]

[ratherdoweddings]

Pyrrha-chan?

[tokencanadian]

It's... nothing. I'm fine.

[ratherdoweddings]

Xander-san and I were working on that, with some advice from Junpei-kun. That's the real reason for those murals I spent weeks working on in the concourses. The star fields, the flowers, even the bunnies -- they're all secretly star maps from different angles.

Now that that's done, though, I like the idea of investigating the gates. They're there for a reason.

[ratherdoweddings]

That sounds great! After all, we do have to eat. Besides, Nari-san said her new friends were hungry!

[cyan_maid]

A little more than hungry - they're starving them, it sounds like, and on top of everything else they've done...I can't abide that!!

[ratherdoweddings]

We've got to do something. At least pack a lot of food when we make our move.

[cyan_maid]

Yeah, I...I'll get on it. But geez, it's not like we've got those armigers or even one sylladex. It's going to be tough toting all this around.

[daughterofthemark]

I can assist with that. I have experience with packing supplies with limited space available.

[Sixty inventory slots.]

[cyan_maid]

I would love any and all help in that regard.

[She's not like Jake, jamming canned peas into a finite inventory space only to have them shoot out at him again because he has to keep a giant interdimensional window in his pockets]
