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.]

...Sir Ardyn? I'm worried about Mai. She said something... after the spirit of this house took over... That worries me.

[scourgingstars]

...What did she say?

[desperateprayer]

...That she wouldn't let anything happen to me. And when I asked her to elaborate, she... Said she wanted to protect everyone here. I'm worried... That she might do something reckless.

[ WHO BETTER TO TELL THAN ARDYN. ]

That could easily be nothing, Clarith. I said much the same, after all--that is no indicator I'm about to do something foolish.

[...But he had to admit that was worrying. Especially when he couldn't get much of a read on Mai's personality or how likely she was to do anything careless. She was a fellow daemon hunter in her own right; that sort of role all but required a self-sacrificial streak.]

I'll talk to her, if that would ease your concerns.

[desperateprayer]

If it was just that, I'd agree, but... At the girls' sleepover, we talked and... ...She's a lot like me. She thinks she deserves the treatment she gets... And that's why... I'm especially worried about her.

[ And that's why she's especially worried about Mai, and that conversation had been bugging her this entire time. ]

[scourgingstars]

...It isn't only you. I've been concerned about her since that meeting--being so readily willing to put oneself before others can lead to dangerous predicaments.

[desperateprayer]

...She's a very kind girl. Even if she thinks she isn't. I don't want her to be hurt. And you're... The person I think might have the best chance of protecting her.

[scourgingstars]

I promise you that I will do the best I am able to. I've no desire to see anyone here get hurt.
