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]

It was my job to be both well-learned in a general sense and well-versed in the general goings-on of the planet I watched over. That said, there was a lot of free time. Picking up new information was the only way of getting by.

[The smile was returned with one of her own. Her expression was complemented by an excited glimmer in her eyes. It wasn't often that she got to talk about the things she was interested in. Everything revolved around Pandora these days.]

Unimpressed? Why is that?

[scourgingstars]

Well, I do presume that ordinarily we would be goingsomewhere. Unless I've very much missed something, I've not heard any indication we might be anything but stationary. I'm no expert on reading the stars, but it doesn't seem as though we're anything but stationary.

[Ardyn shook his head, glancing out the window again.]

You must do a great deal of studying.

[brokencode]

Ah. Yes I imagine this would be unimpressive. Still, most methods of travel are not stationary. I should only hope you would be entertained by that.

[With Ardyn no longer looking at her, Angel also allowed for her gaze to drift, settling on a distant and unfamiliar star. Perhaps if she stared long enough, she might find some sort of recognizable feature, or spot something she had missed in her endless observations.]

I had a fair bit of free-time and little to do with it. The best thing to do was learn.

[scourgingstars]

I would certainly hope most travelling should involve motion, otherwise it would scarcely have a point.

[He laughed to himself, shrugging.]

Learning in one's spare time is an admirable pursuit, I think.

[brokencode]

... Yes, I suppose that was rather redundant wasn't it? [She cringed in the slightest, skin coloring an ashamed red. Communicating was hard when she didn't have a screen to hide behind.]

I am glad you think so. All I know is that if there are things I cannot experience in my life -- and there are many -- at least I can read about them.

[scourgingstars]

Merely joking, do forgive me. [He looked back at Angel briefly, offering an apologetic smile.]

I think it's good to recognize where one might be limited and seek to remedy that. For as much as I've experienced myself, I know there are countless matters I know nothing of. Ones such as this, for example. [Ardyn gestured slightly to the endless space outside.] For all that I very much need to return home, this has been quite an opportunity to see things I otherwise never would have.

[brokencode]

It is... no problem, my friend. Sorry to have reacted so hastily. [Social is hard.]

It is good then, that you have the freedom of betterment. There are many, myself included, who are unable to work around the boundaries imposed in their lives. In that case, we must work within what we have.

Knowledge was my escape, in the perhaps rather vain hope that my the strength of my mind could make up for the weakness of my body.

[scourgingstars]

It's an entirely worthwhile pursuit. Some are better suited to intellect than combat, I see no shame in that.

[brokencode]

I am glad we can see eye-to-eye on this, then. [A careful smile was offered to Ardyn.]

You seem a very wise man. I hope I have not said that already.

[scourgingstars]

Whether you have or not, it's flattering all the same. I don't claim to be more or less intelligent than anyone else; it's clear there are a great number of things the rest of you know that I've no concept of. It's been quite fascinating so far.

[brokencode]

Well... if you ever find that you have questions about our ways, or at least mine, I would be happy to answer them. We can learn from one another, in that case.

[scourgingstars]

You have my honest gratitude for that. And if there should be anything I might be able to answer or otherwise assist you with, you need only ask. [He answered with a slight bow paired with a flourish that was too dramatic to be anything but a joke; the slight smirk on his face confirmed as much.]

Ardyn Lucis Caelum, entirely at your service.

[brokencode]

[The display was enough to invoke a soft, tittering laugh from the siren. Nevertheless, when Ardyn rose, Angel forced a serious look onto her face, straightening up as she did.]

I hope we have a good time working with one another, Ardyn Lucis Caelum.
