Week 5

[It's been five weeks (since you looked at me) and with the deaths of Shadow and Rukia, the group that was initially 20 strong has dwindled down to ten. Ten 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 there is no new floor announcement this week.

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 5, everyone! Check-in has begun and don't forget to submit your memory regains!]

[He so startled to see that it's just Jamie that he almost fumbles and squishes the entire tower of girl.

Thankfully he untangles before actually doing that]

...did you come to our end of the station just to watch a movie?

[ratherdoweddings]

I guess he can do what he wants...

[theoverseers]

You guys have better sound quality. [He's still facing them but he's also just gonna...sink down further back into his chair. An observant Champion might notice how pink his face is getting by the second.]

I thought the door locked behind me.

[ratherdoweddings]

Are you embarrassed? It's not like you were watching something bad!

[theoverseers]

It's just a little embarrassing for a grown man to get caught watching Disney movies alone. [And drinking.]

[ratherdoweddings]

Oh, everybody does that! I suppose unless they're from the past.

[cyan_maid]

Oh, is that all?

[Jane comes in a little further.] Well...perhaps...would you mind some company, then? All we've got is space movies, and I haven't seen this one in ages...

[C'mon let them join you Jamie!]

[theoverseers]

I mean...sure, if you want to.

[This wasn't what he expected when he snuck over here to watch this but you know what? We're doin' this. We're makin' this happen.]

[cyan_maid]

So long as it's alright.

[But she's coming in to take a seat HELL YEAH BLUE-THEMED HEROINES]

[theoverseers]

[The best kind of heroines in his honest opinion.

Depending on where Jane sits she might be able to see what else Jamie brought with him for his movie night. How close is she to his seat in the front row?]

[cyan_maid]

[Probably three seats to the side in the second row. If it's alcohol, she doesn't want it, but she'll certainly take note of it.]

[theoverseers]

[He is a responsible adult not in the business of offering minors alcohol, excuse you. That's the Benefactors' job.

But it is alcohol. Two bottles of white wine and three glasses, two of which are empty and sitting on the floor.]

[cyan_maid]

[...Three glasses?]

Golly, Mister Jamie, you must've been expecting company already!

[If they're still making up from their tiff, then it'd be Bolton and...one of their own?

There's a quiet, sinking feeling in her stomach.]

[theoverseers]

Not really. [Siiiiiip.] I thought B might show up but I guess not.

[cyan_maid]

[...There's three glasses, she's not giving up too easily.]

I suppose he's not one for nice movies. But, Mister Jame, you've got an extra glass with you.

[theoverseers]

"Ferris Bueller" and "The Breakfast Club" are more up his alley. [He starts to take another sip from his glass but pauses, glancing at the extra glass. He chews the inside of his cheek for a moment before answering.]

Spare glass. I've knocked over a lot of glasses in my time so I learned to keep an extra around.

[cyan_maid]

[Oh, that's a pause, isn't it? At least he came up with something plausible.]

Well, do take care not to drink all that wine yourself, alright? I've...erm, known how devastating an incredibly large hangover can be.

[Hangover + hallucinogenic drug trip crash = YIKES]

[theoverseers]

Ohhh trust me, I've had some crazy hangovers in my time. Not quite as crazy as yours but I know how to pace myself. [He smiles.] Help yourself to some popcorn.

[kingshaming]

Well, what's seen can not be unseen.

[He walks in (mostly so Light will stop having a conniption about them blocking the door) and takes a seat.]

I do hope the story isn't too far in?

[voltrounds]

No, this is still near the beginning. They're setting up the backstory.

[Also inviting herself in. MOVIE NIGHT]

[theoverseers]

No, it's just starting. But hold on- [He picks up a small chrome remote up from the arm of his chair and presses a button, restarting the prologue from the beginning.] This is one of my favorite parts anyway so I don't mind watching it twice.

[kingshaming]

[His seat is right next to Jamie, and once it starts back up he's a bit in awe]

I can see why, it looks like stained glass...

[theoverseers]

Right? The hand pained backgrounds, the narration, the stained glass, it's a masterpiece. Almost as good as the ballroom scene.

[He gestures excitedly while he talks, bright-eyes and grinning, and with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows the bright red tattoo on the inside of his left arm.] You're gonna love the ballroom scene, it's amazing.

[kingshaming]

Don't give away too much now, most of us are seeing this with new eyes.

[That red is eye catching- it's not like he hasn't seen tattoos before, certainly. And considering Jamie's love of art he's not surprised. So as he leans over to get some of the wine (if Bolton won't come drink and watch romantic movies with you bro, he will) he tries to get a better look]

[theoverseers]

[Go for it, my dude. Jamie has no objections to sharing.] Sorry, sorry. I just get really excited whenever I get to talk about this movie. No more spoilers, promise.

[His tattoo is a flower, a very red rose to be exact, centered right in the middle of his forearm. It's even drawn and colored to look like stained glass, just like in the movie.]
