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!))

...I'm not certain. I've not tried it yet.

There is one thing you might want, if you have room.

[Yurika goes into her luggage and pulls out Clarith's bookmark.]

I wasn't sure if I should give this to you or Touko-chan. I'm not really the sharing type of person, so I don't know how that all works.

[daughterofthemark]

Oh!

[...well, she'll take it for now.]

Both of us are new to it as well. Perhaps we should simply... see which of us is carrying fewer of them to begin with. But thank you.

[ratherdoweddings]

How does that even work? I don't want to be insensitive, but I get jealous even when there's nothing really going on.

[At least she admits it now.]

[daughterofthemark]

...no, I understand that feeling. I'm not certain I can truly explain how this is different. But each of us was ready to give Clarith up for the other's sake.

[ratherdoweddings]

You were willing to give up the one person who made you happy, even when everything else was going wrong, just for some rival who came out of nowhere? And her, too? That's... I don't think I could have done that. But thinking about it that way, it's really noble of you.

[daughterofthemark]

...perhaps. But in truth, I felt that I had already lost, so perhaps it was not so much noble as graceful.

[ratherdoweddings]

Really? Even though your profiles said you were married?

[daughterofthemark]

They did not say we were married to each other. We merely inferred that.

[ratherdoweddings]

That's true, but that's sort of what we do around here.

[daughterofthemark]

Well... yes. But I'd not yet realized that.

[ratherdoweddings]

Sometimes it's hard to figure things out, even if you need to. But I think you've done a great job. We all have, and we're going to need to do more of it. It looks like we'll need to strike before they give the motive.
