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.]

Yeah, that one. Danielle would pick that out if she was giving me a glittery Selena kind of look. [which selena doesn't matter] She dresses me, makes sure I'm taken care of. Come back with me and bring her those drawings, you might see it for real.

[and she's suddenly self-conscious about the half-wiped marker streaks; she turns her arms in and tries to smudge one against the table] Something like you are. Letting my mind wander. Drawing something I like.

[goteachother]

I'd love to see what your time would do with some of my dresses. Beads probably aren't as expensive in your time.

What's it mean? [Because it has to mean something for her to have sketched out the same design over and over.] And... you plannin on using some of this... stuff?

[A gesture at the room at large.]

[getgood]

Maybe. [She's nervous about being the first one.]

It's a nazar. An eye that stares down the evil eye. My boss uses one for our logo, so... yeah. It's important. Maybe a whole dress of beads of it kind of important.

[goteachother]

You know how all this works? [Please tell her oh tech guru. You seem to know everything Lee. It's really neat.]

O-oh so it's a symbol of protection? That's real smart!

[getgood]

I don't know if it does anything, but... it really reminds me of them. Like I feel safe. I can practice on other stuff before I do it to myself.

[goteachother]

's gonna be awful hard doin it alone, ain' it? [She looks thoughtful and without even realizing she's doing it she starts doodling in the corner of the page she'd been working on.]

Sounds like a good reason ta do it, though.

[getgood]

Yeah, it isn't like I want to use it to look pretty. [vanity or blunt honesty - ¿por qué no los dos?]

But I thought since nobody's done it yet...

[goteachother]

You do a lot of things just cause they ain't been done?

[But Queenie's grinning when she says it. Good enough reason for her.]

And don' be silly, you'll always be pretty.

[getgood]

If somebody'll notice it. [She shrugs, an eye to the camera.]

I'm just saying it's more important than looking good for me.

[goteachother]

[Yup, you just confirmed yourself as a Thunderbird.]

Well it's permanent. Tattoos should always be more'n just pretty.

At least... that's what I've heard?

[getgood]

If you're making that kind of commitment to your body, it's got to be something you're really into, right?

Like this. [She's a little softer about it here, willing to give just a little trust.] I'm who I am today because of it.
