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.]

...I-I like... The forest. And there are a number of beautiful flowers. ...B-But I'm not sure...

[ ...Not sure any will make her actually feel better about herself. ]

[myocordial]

Well, it's something you can take time to think about. But if you love the forest and flowers so much, I doubt you would get tired of seeing a depiction of them in a tattoo. Seeing something you like on your body might help improve your opinion of yourself.

[Might. Because maybe it won't, he doesn't know, but there is the possibility.]

[desperateprayer]

...That's why I was... Hoping to get one...

[ Heart you're very good at people you probably just don't realize how good. ]

[myocordial]

All the more reason to let go of your doubts, then.

Somehow... I don't get the impression it would make you feel worse about yourself than you do now.

[desperateprayer]

...No, I don't think so. I don't think... I can feel worse about myself...

[myocordial]

Then either things will stay the same or you'll feel better about yourself.

I think... simply making the effort to like yourself more is already important.

[desperateprayer]

..............

[ Clarith has suddenly realized another problem. ]

Does anyone... Know how to work these tools...?

[myocordial]

I'm not certain. There are twenty of us, so maybe... It seems odd to give us this room and equipment without anyone around that can actually use it.

...I suppose if there's a manual around somewhere...

[Because I mean. How hard can it be, am I right.]

[desperateprayer]

[ And then Heart accidentally killed Clarith trying to give her a tattoo.

I mean. ]

...Maybe one of the others...?

[myocordial]

[Look he'd at least go a few practice rounds on someone else it's fine.]

Maybe. Asking around can't hurt.

If not, then. Well. Maybe once this is over we'll find a professional to take care of it before we all return to where we should be.

[desperateprayer]

Yeah, that's p-probably the wisest idea...

[ ...Ask around, and then wait if no one does. Clearly she should just get a tattoo of Mikaela. ]

[myocordial]

Hm. It certainly would be a shame to end up with a subpar tattoo.

I've thought about it myself as well, but if I do decide on it I'll wait too. I doubt it will be difficult finding a place for it back in Tokyo.

[desperateprayer]

A-Are there places like this there?

[ So he's from a futuristic world--at least to her. ]

[myocordial]

There are many establishments where one can get a tattoo, yes.

Not where you are from, then?

[desperateprayer]

...W-We would have to use sharpened sticks.

[myocordial]

...Yes, I would definitely not advise using that method. Well, I'm sure we can get to a professional before you're there again.

[Hm.]

...Whenever this may be over, will you... be alright? Going back home?

[desperateprayer]

...As long as I have someone by my side, I'll be fine. I... I'll have Miss Mikaela.

[myocordial]

...That's good, then. Everyone should have at least one ally in their life.

[desperateprayer]

Y-Yeah. ...I think... I'll be able to handle everything when we go back. Maybe... I'll actually leave...

[myocordial]

Leave your home, you mean?

[desperateprayer]

...My mother is ill and dying. If Sir Ardyn can heal her, or even if he can't... There won't be any reason to stay there, if she dies. And if she lives, I think... She'd prefer us leave, too.

[myocordial]

I see. I hope he's capable of it... And I hope you do leave. From what you've told me, your home sounds... far from pleasant.
