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.]

[ Oh my god. "Weirdo moon man TV show" might be what he starts calling this thing. Thank you. ]

... I'm inclined to somewhat believe it. The entertainment industry has always been a rather disgusting sport going back to ancient times. Still, good to know we can at least count on that much. I would still be careful, though. With the advent of what just happened, people are going to start getting desperate...

[ I mean, killing in self-defense still counts as murder. ]

[Anytime you need weird names, call me 🤙 ]

Yeah, I believe it. They mighta tried to sell us on the "relationship" bull, but it's pretty fuckin' clear that the whole point was gettin' somebody desperate enough ta kill.

[ It reeks. He hates being manipulated. He might not he scared, but he is angry under there, somewhere. ]

Anybody who comes after me or you would hafta be a fuckin' idiot. Right now I'm the guy people are thinking "well, we'd be better off without 'im," I ain't dumb enough ta think otherwise. But ya better watch yerself, too.

... It'd be suicide if they tried. Just because I like people doesn't mean I'm going to let my guard down. And now that our powers are somewhat uncapped--surely they must understand what that means for someone like myself. If anything, I'd rather be the person trying to protect the ones who can't protect themselves, right now.

[ A small sigh. ]

There's a chance they could come after us while we sleep, though. We might need to sleep in shifts, at this rate.

[buddyoldpal]

Keep talkin' about how strong ya are now and yer gonna get me excited, Roland-san.

[ He grins. He's not kidding either, but also maybe he is? No, he's serious. Do go on. They're definitely talking serious business, Nishitani just needed to share. ]

Works fer me, I'm used ta sleepin' during the day anyway. Night's when all the business starts back in Sotenbori.

You can get excited later, when we're not all having problems with a murderous friend named PAL.

[ Yes that dumb joke caught on, ANYWAY-- ]

Anyway, you're already armed, right? What all do you have on you? I need to know. We were already keeping a checklist in case something like this happened, so now it's more important than ever.

[buddyoldpal]

Later, huh...? Sounds good ta me.

[ Yes, later works. If he just had some booze, Roland... ]

Yep! Ain't like I hide it, I always got my knife wit' me; 's one of the big steak knives from the kitchen. Nari-chan's seen it, too.

[ He could honestly just pull it out now but everyone's panicking so they probably wouldn't like to be reminded that the criminal is carrying a weapon. ]
