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.]

Ah. I thought it was, uh, something on fire. Or something.

[Well, as long as nothing's on fire, he takes a soda out of the fridge and cracks it open.]

Yeah, something... weird happened last night. Still trying to figure out what it was.

[nojohnyouare]

Something weird?

[Mai replies quickly, like he's just said "we found the escape pods."]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Yeah. You know how all the girls had a sleepover last week? The guys kinda... copied that idea. But with booze. And strip poker.

[nojohnyouare]

...Did you lose.

[misanthropicprinciple]

I lost less badly than most of the others. But anyway, that wasn't the weird thing.

[Well, it's sort of weird for Junpei not to lose at things, but ANYWAY.]

We got attacked by... something.

[nojohnyouare]

[Mai hesitates for a second.]

Roland. Was he hurt?

[misanthropicprinciple]

Roland? Uh, no. I think it only got me, Falcon, and Ardyn, and we're all okay. Why Roland?

[nojohnyouare]

[Mai pulls the collar of her space clothes down to the side. Her neck and shoulder are covered in black, blotchy marks, like bruises.]

This happens to me when I kill a demon. But I didn't do that. So I wondered. ...That's good.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Wh-whoa!

[LITTLE CHILDREN, COVER YOUR PRECIOUS EYES.]

Kawasumi, you're... When did that happen? Did--did it go after you?

[nojohnyouare]

[THERE ARE NO CHILDREN IN MURDERMANSION, REMEMBER]

No. I didn't see it. Maybe something else happened.

[misanthropicprinciple]

...

...

...You said that happens to you... when you kill a demon...?

[nojohnyouare]

[nod] I don't understand.

[misanthropicprinciple]

...What do demons, uh... look like, where you're from?

[nojohnyouare]

It's like I said at the first meeting. They're invisible. But they only appear in the school. Why would one be here?

[misanthropicprinciple]

I don't know, but I think Church killed one with his enormous, heavy ass last night.

[nojohnyouare]

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

[This face.]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Okay, it was a group effort. But the thing that attacked us was definitely invisible and definitely real. Ask Ardyn. He was sober.

[nojohnyouare]

I don't know what's going on. ...If it appears again, get me. If there was one, there might be more.

[misanthropicprinciple]

...Okay, since you're the expert. But Kawasumi?

[nojohnyouare]

...?

[misanthropicprinciple]

I have a bad feeling. ...Be careful.

[nojohnyouare]

...[nod] Okay. I'll back off if it does something strange.

[misanthropicprinciple]

We're still in a bad situation. Even if you know how to fight those things, don't go off by yourself, all right?

[nojohnyouare]

...Ten years.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Huh?
