Week 2

[airlockedmods]

[Other than the reappearance of the Overseer, there's no real change in the routine. PAL still makes the morning and night time announcements through the PIP on each Champion's arm, and still the Champion unitards are freshly laundered and re-hung each morning in their closets.

No other floors unlock, but Cece and Kip will still be appearing randomly to chit-chat.

All you know is... something has to change soon.]

[Mai looks up from swimming, stands in the pool, and nods in greeting.]

Everyone is in here today.

[myocordial]

[He pauses himself, nodding back at her.]

Hm, I suppose. There's only so much to do here, after all. It almost seems inevitable to end up here.

[nojohnyouare]

[Mai turns to look at him. With the swimsuit she's got on, a scar on her chest is visible, looking like she was stabbed. It's not that old, either.]

Exercise is good for you.

[myocordial]

It's not really a concern for me. I can't really get out of shape like humans do.

[One of those robot perks. He does see that scar, though. Interesting...]

...Were you perhaps in a battle recently?

[nojohnyouare]

Probably. But... I'm not bruised or marked. When I kill a demon, black marks appear on me. So I don't understand it.

[myocordial]

Then perhaps you fought something other than a demon?

...Or perhaps it wasn't much of a fight.

[nojohnyouare]

But with this...

[She looks down at herself, then turns around. There's a matching scar in the back.]

I don't know.

[myocordial]

[Well, damn.]

This went... all the way through, then. You are certainly lucky to have recovered from this...

[nojohnyouare]

Lucky...

["What we have here is nothing short of a miracle."

"Watch and see as, before your very eyes, life and death are defied!"

Mai shakes her head and turns back to Heart.]

I don't know.

[myocordial]

Is it not fortunate to still be breathing? Well, I don't know your circumstances, of course.

[nojohnyouare]

What do you think a miracle is?

[myocordial]

When something thought to be impossible, or at the very least incredibly unlikely, somehow actually happens, yes?

[nojohnyouare]

...Do you think it's always a good thing?

[myocordial]

One could say that a lot of "good things" could be seen as bad from the perspective of someone else.

[...]

...No, I suppose a miracle doesn't always have to be good.

[nojohnyouare]

I wonder about it, too.

[myocordial]

...Did a miracle not work out well for you?

[nojohnyouare]

...Once. It worked out well, but then...

[She shakes her head.]

It doesn't matter now.

[myocordial]

And yet it seems to be on your mind.

[nojohnyouare]

It's been like that a lot lately.

[myocordial]

...Do you want to talk about it?

[nojohnyouare]

...It's fine. We should worry about other things.

[myocordial]

Alright. But if you change your mind, let me know.

[nojohnyouare]

...Were you also injured? That you don't remember.

[myocordial]

No, no injuries that I noticed. But there have been other... changes.

[nojohnyouare]

Upgrades?

[you are a robot, after all]
