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!]

[Her eyes widen a little bit.] Oh, golly, that one...no wonder times were, erm...difficult.

[Yes Jane, that's one way to put it.]

W-Well, at least...after the war, things must have gotten better in time. Right?

[refusedtoleave]

[Jane, you're going to be very sad to find out they didn't.]

Things were difficult till after I married. I think some areas are still recovering.

[cyan_maid]

Oh...I-I'm sorry...

[Did Natsuhi's Japan not have an economic rebound or]

Gosh, now I feel terrible, I didn't mean to make you think of sad things. I really am sorry...

[refusedtoleave]

There's no need to apologize, it was a long time ago. And if it hadn't happened, then I wouldn't have my daughter.

[It did, but powerful businessman drove her family into poverty.]

Back in our first week, they tried to tell me that was something to regret.

[cyan_maid]

[At least Crockercorp doesn't would never wouldn't have done that if Jane ran things.]

Wh...but that's terrible! You're worried about her even now, that's a horrible thing to tell a mother! Why, if someone tried to make my Dad think that having me was something to regret, he would've knocked them right out!

[refusedtoleave]

There's no need for me to worry about her now... [She's not going to focus on at the moment.]

I don't know what they were thinking. I still don't.

[cyan_maid]

[...Hopefully that's because Natsuhi remembered that good things happened? We're going to hope very strongly on that front and not ask for specific details.]

I don't think any of us can rightly figure it out. Not even if we were still twenty strong.

[refusedtoleave]

Hopefully, we'll get answers soon. [She nods a the two Overseers.] I think it's getting to them as well.

[cyan_maid]

[Jane glances over.] I think so, too. I mean - it can't not get to a person.

[refusedtoleave]

I don't know about that. There is a girl I remember, she'd love this place...[She winces, thinking of that unwelcomed guest.]

[cyan_maid]

[A frown.] If anyone did like this place, that'd make them an awful lot like Seth, wouldn't it?

[refusedtoleave]

Not quite... She called herself a detective. I'm not inclined to believe her, but everyone else did...

[cyan_maid]

[Deepening frown.] That sounds awfully stupid of them.

[refusedtoleave]

Like I said, vultures. The moment my husband went missing and she singled me out, they joined in.

[She's just going to glare at nothing.]

[cyan_maid]

[You do that. Jane's just going to continue to grimace.]

...I'm sorry. At least...you don't have to put up with them here.

[refusedtoleave]

No. Hopefully by the time I'm back, the police will have sorted it all out.

[cyan_maid]

[Eugh...]

Ah...yes, surely it'll all be fine, then.

[refusedtoleave]

They better not have made anything strange up while I was here...

[Being beaten up was bad enough, and she wouldn't put it passed them.]

[cyan_maid]

Would it be any stranger than all this?

[refusedtoleave]

[Wincing.]

No. But with how they were the last time I remembered something, I worried they might have already lied to the police.

[cyan_maid]

[????????????????????]

Is...that something they commonly do...?

[refusedtoleave]

[She can't avoid it can she?]

There was an...incident... They were content to blame me with no evidence. It's why I was in the state I was when I came here... I wouldn't be surprised if they used my absence as their evidence.
