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.]

[Look at all this stuff Mai got. The clothes are good for a special occasion, there's a ton of food, there's... okay, she'll be sorting these out in her room and look over at her roommate, lifting up the fried spider.]

What is this.

[The rest of the new stuff seems pretty cool, though. You can find Mai in the dining hall in the morning, eating pizza for breakfast. In the afternoon, she'll be at the pool again, swimming laps in the first swimsuit she could find that fit her. For everyone's good, it's not the laser cat one.

At night, Mai will be patrolling the hallways again, and this time she's holding a sword. ...A very plastic sword, which she's looking at disappointedly.]

...

super special secret sovereign... sprompt

[daughterofthemark]

...is that a spider?

[she doesn't even realize this is her fault]

[nojohnyouare]

...I'm not eating that.

[And she is willing to eat a lot of things.]

[daughterofthemark]

[...oh, it does look like it's been prepared as food.]

I've never seen one so large.

[nojohnyouare]

Me neither. They're small at home.

[daughterofthemark]

...well, it would be bad to let it go to waste...

[Someone got stuff from the Benefactors! So Nari is sitting in the rest area with some items around her and a sign reading "YARD SARD" on it. She looks quite comfortable sitting there, draped over a giant stuffed dog and eating peanut butter out of a jar. Feel free to grab anything in the pile. Or just ask her where the hell she got this stuff from.

Otherwise she'll just be in the garden, the bamboo katana she received with her in case anyone else tries to abscond with any sharp objects. The flower bed in front of her has been partially dug up as she seems to be transferring flowers around. Might want to ask her what for. There seems to be no real reason for it. But there might be!]

[ Another week... and Rhys is kind of really starting to worry. No escape pods. No way to leave, from what he can tell. And Kip has been extraordinarily unhelpful.

At least the food is good. This morning, Rhys is in the kitchen nursing a cup of coffee... the kind that doesn't have twenty sugars. Every so often, he holds his hand out, palm facing up, and gets frustrated when a whole lot of nothin' happens. Grumbling to himself, he aggressively takes another sip of coffee, which may or may not end up on the front of his unitard. It's not a lot, but feel free to make fun of him. He's in here for a while, and... wow, that's a lot of coffee you're drinking there, Rhys.

Afterward, he decides to go to the pool. Despite having an obvious metal arm, he doesn't seem bothered by that when he slips into the pool wearing a pair of sleek black and yellow trunks. And hey, Rhys has tattoos, too! Behold. He does a few laps, and he actually has a fair bit of endurance.

Other than that, he's mostly just... around: walking in the hallways, trying to figure out what to eat for dinner in the kitchen, walking in the hallways some more... Rhys has a lot of anxious energy, and he's trying to get that all worked out. ]

[nojohnyouare]

........Are you sure it's edible?

[daughterofthemark]

It...

Looks edible?

[nojohnyouare]

...I'm throwing it out.

[desperateprayer]

[ Today, outside of room 1 there's a small sign put up. Simple paper and pen.

NOW DOING: LAUNDRY.

Sure, she's just using the hand soap provided in the bathroom. But she's stopped up and filled the bathtub about halfway with water and soap in order to make a laundry pool. She's already done her dress, and it's hanging up to dry. ...Someone please tell her that the fancy clothes are dry clean only and that she's probably ruined that dress.

Later on, she can be found once more at the tattoo parlor looking over some of the designs given. She seems nervous and maybe a bit determined all at once as she looks at them.

Even later, she's... Actually in a swimsuit and wading very nervously into the pool. She can't swim, but... Maybe she can figure it out? Someone please come make sure she doesn't drown herself. ]

Yard Sard

[desperateprayer]

[ ...Clarith is eyeing that modest clothing set. She's going to approach carefully and look at it. ]

U-Um... D-Do you mind...?

rest area

[honoraryembryon]

[ OK He has no idea what Yard Sard means, but. MORE IMPORTANTLY: ]

... Nari, where did you get these?

[ THOSE ARE UNMISTAKABLY HIS, NARI... the underwear!!! Pointing. ]

These are mine. They match my pants. ... Not that I have them here at the moment, but usually I wear a pair of camo pants. I had a guy steal them from Karma City for me; he usually brought in shipments.

[myocordial]

[Very early in the morning, you might find Heart in the garden. Well, not the human version of Heart, but his weird monster form? Yeah. He's deliberately gone when it's quiet, but of course there's only so much you can do to avoid people around here. He doesn't seem to be really... doing much, just standing there, thoughtfully. You might be able to hear him sighing and muttering to himself.] As expected, I still don't understand...

[A little later, he can be found in the dining room, with a cup of tea. Again he's a little quiet and thoughtful, but he'll nod politely at whoever might join.

The rest of the day he'll be found wherever, but at some point he makes his way over to the pool, since he hasn't actually made any use of anything there yet. So why the hell not just go for a swim, it's not like he's got anything better to do. And I mean, hey, if you like muscles, you probably won't mind seeing Heart shirtless. He's being pretty active in his swimming since, fuck it, he's got all this energy and nothing else to burn it on...]

[everylittlesecret]

[She looks up and shrugs.]

Go for it. I ain't using any of this stuff. Want some peanut butter?

CW: Alcohol

[misanthropicprinciple]

[It's no secret that, since Friday evening, Junpei's been... Moody. Well, moodier than usual. Saturday saw him mostly keeping to himself, and the pattern holds through Sunday morning. He spends the morning in the tattoo parlor, brooding in one of the inking seats and only occasionally writing something in his notes. The shadows under his eyes are deeper than usual, as if he hasn't even gone to sleep.

One might be able to catch him climbing atop the chair to see if he can examine the ceiling more closely.

After lunch, he's singing a totally different tune. Literally.]

Beep beep, assholes! Ho ho ho, aaaHAhahahaaa--!

[Trundling down the halls in his Christine Junior pedal car (which he has to propel with his legs like a crab, because he is too tall to reach the pedals), sporting fuzzy blue socks and the flannel shirt, white vest, and pants from this handsome outfit, he's clearly all dressed up to take his passenger--a significantly drained bottle of fine-ass whiskey--on a hott XXX date. But even Junpei doesn't strike quite as much of an impression as the pillowcase he's slung over his shoulder like a sack of gifts.

Junpei's red-faced, glassy-eyed, and...]

PANTY CLAUS IS COMMMMINNNN'... TO TOWWWWWWWWWNNNN!!

[...terrifyingly drunk.

Eventually, he calms down enough to pass out in the rest room, snoring softly with his face cuddled into a crab louse. A-aww. How... cute.

He does look a lot gentler in his sleep, though. And occasionally, he appears to mumble something in his dreams...]

pool

[nojohnyouare]

[Mai is taking a break on the edge of the pool, a towel around her shoulders and covering her own swimsuit (at least it's not the laser cats). She looks over and nods at Clarith.]

Hello.

[desperateprayer]

Th-Thank you.

[ She's snatching that up, then. But wait... ]

Peanut butter?

[everylittlesecret]

[Let her teach you all about memes sometimes.]

They were in the dumbwaiter with a lot of other stuff. Had my name on it. [Have a sly smile.] At least that answers if you go commando or not. Figured you more for boxers, to be honest.
