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

Oh - so, the game just has them in white?

[That's not even how it works in real life but okay. Jane reloads. She's a bit trigger-happy, but not hitting a lot of marks.]

[voltrounds]

It's to make them stand out. Try aiming for the centers.

[Fill the air with enough bullets and one of them will hit something. A time-honored strategy indeed.]

[cyan_maid]

I guess, against the background, white's good for that.

[Adjusting her aim now. Oh wow, she's actually getting a few more than she was before. Good for Jane! She's still having to reload a lot, though.]

[voltrounds]

See? You're doing better already.

[Although not as well as Miss Playing Every Day For Two And A Half Weeks here.]

So were you just planning to watch, or...?

[cyan_maid]

[Nobody can beat Ricky at shooting virtual zombies. She is simply the best there is.]

Um - yeah. I don't really, uh, know...what to do today.

[voltrounds]

[It's a poor substitute for shooting real giant poisonous butterflies and such, but it'll have to do.]

Because of last night?

[cyan_maid]

Mhm.

[Oh hey she got exactly one clean headshot, that's a surprise.]

I'm - I'm really out of sorts.

[voltrounds]

[It's a St. Patrick's Day miracle! Even though this is actually happening on Wednesday.]

I think most people are. People keep secrets for reasons.

[cyan_maid]

Y-Yeah.

[Corned beef and cabbage in the cafeteria on Friday is the goal, and not anything having to do with tomatoes.]

Yeah, for...numerous reasons. Like...fear.

[voltrounds]

[Ketchup.]

You can't help but think about how people would see you differently if they knew. And maybe not for the better.

[cyan_maid]

[nO]

That's...that's exactly what I've been thinking about. It's terrible.

[Shit how are they on the same wavelength here]

[voltrounds]

[tomato soup with a strawberry milkshake Maybe it's the game. They are IN SYNC. N SYNC. BACKSTREET BOYS.]

I wasn't going to ask, but...

[cyan_maid]

[Or perhaps the unexpected LEMONADE AND SYRUP COMBINATION]

...Y-You can ask. It's fine.

[But ask so she can painfully explain it to you.]
