Week 1

[With the introduction to the relationship experiment and their overseeing hosts done with, the Champions are left to their own devices to explore the first floor of the mansion as they please. Cece and Kip will pop-up every once in a while to chit-chat but for the most part they're somewhere inaccessible.

Each morning the Champions are awakened promptly at 7 am by PAL's even, almost laid back voice announcing the time and each evening at 10 pm to announce when the kitchen is closing for the night. Unlike the Overseers, he doesn't seem to be one much for conversation.

Enjoy your week, Champions.]

[ooc: welcome to week 1, everyone! This first week is a peace week which means there will be no murder this weekend! Feel free to start submitting threads for the benefactors]

Not that many myself, but yeah.

[The First Order isn't exactly known for being friendly towards non-humans.]

But non-human species make up- I don't know, probably seventy-five of the galactic population? Maybe eighty?

[misanthropicprinciple]

Wow. I, uh. ...That sure is a lot of aliens, being real and. Existing. ...But it looks like humans make up a kind of surprising amount of the population, too. Do aliens just not make a lot of babies?

[cameupshort]

I- ...actually, I don't know.

[If you asked the First Order they're probably having entirely too many babies, but he's not about to trust that as any kind of accurate.]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Huh.

[And he flops down again.]

Maybe Rey and Poe Dameron are aliens. You'll have your very own alien friends. Just like the movies.

[cameupshort]

Maybe?

[You can't really tell from names.]

Oh, Nishitani mentioned something about those movie things, the holodramas. Why do people from Earth think of aliens as little and green?

[misanthropicprinciple]

Use of the term "little green men" dates all the way back to the twelfth century, actually, though it's unclear when it first came into use as a descriptor of extraterrestrials. It turned up in a couple stories about Martians in the early 1900's, I think? And then it got popularized in pulp magazines.

[cameupshort]

Uh-huh.

[That's... more detailed than what Nishitani said, but still not terribly informative.]

I mean, there are some species that are little and green, but not many. You think they might've managed to make it to your Earth somehow?

[misanthropicprinciple]

May...be? Sorry, dude, I think we probably made them up the way we made up true love and unicorns.

[cameupshort]

I didn't say it was likely, just a possibility. Like I said, I didn't think anyone had ever left the galaxy before this.

[Assuming Earth isn't just in some really, really backwater, undiscovered part of space.]

People on Earth don't believe in love?

[misanthropicprinciple]

Oh, people believe. It's the most wide-spread fiction we tell ourselves, as a species.

[Finn, no, don't go down this path, this way lies only emocore and Linkin Park.]

[cameupshort]

Soooooo, it's that YOU don't believe in it.

[He's technically a Didney, Junpei, he has to go down this path.]

[misanthropicprinciple]

...I believe people feel it.

[He can't say he doesn't. Not without denying everything he knows.]

I don't believe it's all it's cracked up to be.
