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.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

[He bumps into her getting some coffee, who allowed this 7yo to have coffee, ardyn is a bad parent, etc.]

Oh! Hey. Heeeyyyy, nice sweater! It isn't even near Hanukkah yet!

[goteachother]

Last I knew it was October so... not that far off.

[She's not really up for your teasing at the moment, Leonard. But at least you're in a good mood? She'll do her best to keep up.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Yeah? I...huh. I lost track of what month it was supposed to be. Probably summer. Always felt like summer there anyway.

You okay? I'm not mad about the water thing, promise. Or is this about...the everything going on?

[goteachother]

[She just shakes her head and sets a reassuring hand on his chest.]

Nah, just... homesick, mostly. [Tina would know what to do, how to keep them safe.]

Worried.

[motherfucking_ghost]

You got stuff going on back home, too, huh? This is all...wild and crazy and it sucks. Sorry.

[goteachother]

Not really a whole lot at home just... miss my sister.

And worried about all you guys. [That hand on his chest turns into a poke followed up with a soft smile.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Awww, Q. [He's gonna take a chance! A risk! And hold a girl's hand. Maybe somehow Tex didn't have the worst taste in me--okay I can't finish that sentence] We'll make sure we all get out of here, and you get to see your sister again.

[goteachother]

[Awwww Leonard. She will just squeeze his hand, trying to be reassuring but also taking comfort in the contact herself.]

Yeah. I'm sure we'll figure this all out. I just wish I could be more help.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Honestly? We're a bunch of strangers in a strange place for the entertainment of others. So long as you aren't like, murdering people with magic or something, you're doing fine.

[goteachother]

[She looks startled and more than a little worried about that idea... but she's been nothing but open about her abilities so-]

I'm trying not to bring people down.

And I ain' gonna lie. There's spells for it. Even if I had my wand I couldn't do it though. Spells like that need conviction.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Well, yeah. Murder generally needs conviction, at least in the moment. I didn't...mean anything by it, it just came out of my mouth. As things do.

[goteachother]

I know ya didn', sweetie. [And just to make sure he understands that she does really know that, she kisses his cheek, trying to be reassuring.]

I noticed... 's kinda nice, really. Can't read people anymore but at least I know you're always bein' honest with me.

A little silly, sometimes, but honest.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Is it weirdly quiet without all that going on? Up there? I feel like it'd drive me crazy to have to know what everyone's thinking all the time.

[goteachother]

I'm... gettin used ta it.

Most people say it'd drive 'em batty but 's all I've ever known. Even when I was little I could tell what people were feelin at least, even if I didn't understand the thoughts yet.
