Week 4

[Four weeks in and almost half the Champions' original numbers are gone. Eight people in the span of a month and, even with the Overseers seeming increase in empathy for the remaining Champions, there is no end in sight for the Champion Excellence Program.

And again at 7 am on Sunday the mechanical woman's voice chimes to awaken the remaining champions on Sunday morning. After the initial wake-up call the message tacked on:]

Congratulations, Champions! By surviving your third trial, you have unlocked the fourth floor of the ship. A new mini map has been added to your P.I.P.! To access the fourth floor please stand on the teleporter and select the floor you wish to be teleported to.

[And again the Champions are awakened they have regained one new memory from the ones they've lost. Starting again on Sunday, as well, Jamie and Bolton will be back to their usual office hours in their usual locations.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

[ooc: welcome to week 4, everyone! Check-in has begun and don't forget to submit your memory regains!]

You mean the next motive could be threatening to fry one of us if no one dies!?

That's a little too simple for their taste.

It could be, but I know it would upset people, and that's all it takes.

Not necessarily. Upset does not mean someone will fight. You can be upset your entire life and just accept it.

You have a talent for making inarguable sense while still being really depressing, Lightning-san.

[It's a talent.]

... that is the strangest backhanded compliment I've gotten.

It's just the truth.

I'm not the type to lie to people just to make them feel better.

I still think we should watch out, depressing or not.

Just don't be like Margulis and wear yourself out.

...I know. But I still feel responsible, you know?

[Yurika...] That's something you'll want to work on.

Don't worry. I know you're all here dealing with the same thing!

[She really worries for your safety.] Some of us better than others. You keep an eye on the kids. I'll stick to the adults.

I believe in you, Lightning-san! I'll do my best there too. Without thinking I can't depend on others. So don't worry!

I never-[SHE KNOWS SHE CAN DEPEND ON OTHERS. She just sighs and shakes her head.] Right.

I wasn't saying you did, Lightning-san...

You didn't have to. [Now she's irritated. Going to walk away before she does something she regrets.]

...bad day?

[Shrug. Bye, Lightning, have fun with whatever.]
