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.]

[ Oh, fuck, he made her cry again, shit??? Now he has to reach out and. Put a hand on her shoulder maybe. It's awkward, he has like no experience with this, but he knows enough to call bullshit when he sees it.

You guys gotta get better families, damn. ]

's awright, I won't tell nobody.

[everylittlesecret]

[There's a cough that follows a bark of a laugh.]

Thanks... Nobody here will know... but the entire universe does now with these fucking cameras...

[She hates being so vulnerable in front of an audience. Strike her down, please.]

[buddyoldpal]

[ Nishitani chuckles. She's got a good point. ]

Well, there's 18 other people in this thing, I'll keep yer secret safe from those assholes, how's that?

[ He's not counting Larimer and Cece because fuck them atm. ]

Definitely won't tell 'em I made ya cry, they'll fuckin' roast me!

[ It's funny because he's a criminal and he expects everyone to dislike him on the basis of this fact. But that is ok. ]

[everylittlesecret]

[You're not the first one to make her cry. Nor will you be the last. This girl is a bag of barely concealed emotions looking for an excuse to leak and fray.]

Thank you... I would rather they respect me than treat me like a kid because I don't know things about personal relationships.

[buddyoldpal]

[ Aw, Nari, he'll punch the next person to make you cry, ok? Just say the word. ]

'course! Ya ain't a kid fer havin' fuckin' feelins, that's bullshit. Yer a smark girl, you'll get the hang of it.

[everylittlesecret]

[Too bad you can't punch a dead person. Guess who makes her cry in the future?]

You might be putting a little too much faith in me.

[buddyoldpal]

[ PUNCHES INTO THE AFTERLIFE @ LEE, GODDAMN ]

Eh, don't worry about it. Long as ya don't die, ya ain't gonna disappoint me, Nari-chan. My family back home takes whoever's got the balls ta join, it don't mean they're smart. Just gotta get the job done.

But you, ya got way more guts than half o' those shits, I can tell.

[everylittlesecret]

[FINN, TOO]

Really? I think I'm too much of a coward sometimes.

[buddyoldpal]

[ ET TU, FINN??? ]

's about pickin' yer battles. When the time comes, ya do what ya gotta, don'tcha?

[everylittlesecret]

[IT'S THE LETTER TO HER THAT DOES IT]

Of course. Which...... has gotten people very hurt. But hey. I... try?

[buddyoldpal]

[ Oh no ;o; ]

Long as it ain't you gettin' hurt, it's a win!

[everylittlesecret]

[Damn Finn and being her friend.]

........ [She starts laughing at that, having to cover her mouth to cut down on the noise.]

[buddyoldpal]

[ Wow!!! He's not 100% sure which part of that was so funny but okay he's laughing now too. ]

What, it's true, ya know?

[everylittlesecret]

[She nods when he asks that. Sorry, but the whole win-win situation at the expense of others... something about that tickles her fancy. She does calm down eventually, taking some deep breaths.]

V-Very much so.

[buddyoldpal]

[ Isn't that just the way. ]

Well, good. Keep that shit in mind, Nari-chan. Ya gotta look out fer #1, and that's you.
