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.]

September 25th. So, it'd just passed about a month ago the last I remember back home.

[ she doesn't have to say, of course, that none of them have any way of knowing how much time has actually passed but... well, she doesn't look or feel all that much different than she remembers. If any time has passed, it can't be that significant an amount. ]

When's yours?

[misanthropicprinciple]

February 8th. It still would've been a couple months until mine.

[But again, who knows?]

I remember... people were getting excited about the lunar eclipse we'll have on New Year's Eve.

[serrata]

What year will that be happening, then? I'll have to make sure I remember to look out for it... oh, but that's assuming we have eclipses and all that at the same time. Now I think about it, I don't even know how many of us have the same constellations or even the same planets.

It's a little strange to think about. That any one of us could look up back home and see such a different sky.

[...

Skies, stars, and planets. Junpei looks a little wistful.]

Well, what's your favorite constellation, Rii-san? I'll tell you if I know it.

[Tenmyouji: 天明寺.
天 - Heaven, space.
明 - Sun and moon.
寺 - Temple, or tera/terra.]

[serrata]

The Pleiades cluster. [ Subaru. ] The Seven Sisters.

I think it's beautiful -- especially when you see photos of it taken under the right conditions. It looks like it's swimming in stardust.

[ such purple prose, riisan. ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

An open star cluster in Taurus. The hairy head of the White Tiger.

[Junpei, you fuckin' show-off, you didn't even recognize a Mercury symbol last year.]

So we've got that one in common, at least.

[serrata]

So we're probably a little closer than I was expecting. That's good to know.

[ closer worlds. closer timelines. obviously. don't get any ideas, shippers. ]

What's your favourite, then?

[misanthropicprinciple]

Orion.

[Another bright, easy-to-spot constellation.]

He's reliable. Except in summer, you can almost always see him. And he's useful for finding other stars. A real helpful guy.
