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.]

It's an empty title right now, like being a mob boss in name and respect only. We can't touch them, but they can't do anything to us, either, so those two are now harmless.

[Which might be good and bad...]

I never put my faith in them in the first place.

[buddyoldpal]

Pfft, I know a few assholes what fit that description.

[ Not him, obviously, his title is backed by a knife, usually. But there's plenty of guys in the yakuza who think a title is enough to keep you alive. Real funny joke. ]

I hear ya there. Anybody who thinks they can trust 'em is fuckin' dreamin'.

[ Or anyone else here... but he won't say that. Then he'd have to admit he kind of likes a few people. ]

[everylittlesecret]

So do I. Those two better not try and enforce anything on us now that we know the jig is up.

[Her title, at least her champion one, can be easily backed up. It's the only one shes ever had, and the only one she needs now to keep alive.]

Guess I should be happy that it takes a lot for me to trust anyone in the first place.

[buddyoldpal]

'Bout time they got a wake-up call, if ya ask me.

[ Look at all these normal people losing their heads, goodness. ]

Ya ain't a normal civilian, Nari-chan, it's a good thing ta be when yer kidnapped by some fuckin' alien computer.

[ Being fucked up is great!!! He smiles. ]

[everylittlesecret]

I agree. Even people in power need to know their place.

[Yep. At this moment she's super glad to be a fucked up.]

Can I just say that at this very moment I'm glad my life wasn't all sunshine and rainbows?

[buddyoldpal]

[ He nods. A little shake-up here and there does some good, right? ]

Hah! Ya got that right. All that shit's prepared ya for the worst. Ain't the funnest way ta be, but it beats bein' dumb enough ta think everythin's gonna be hunky-dory.

[everylittlesecret]

And if this somehow gets worse than what I've been through, then damn. Just one more thing to toughen me up.

[And make her hate this situation even more, and possibly lose all faith in humanity... or alienity?]

[buddyoldpal]

That's the spirit, girlie. Shit's just gonna keep gettin' worse, best thing ya can do is make what ya got a great fuckin' time.

[ His life motto, basically. ]

[everylittlesecret]

If only the rest of them could figure this out. I don't think we'll get that lucky.

[Everyone would be so much more chill if they did.]
