YOUR RESULTS.

[lockdownmods]

[ You've all been given around an hour to recuperate from the trial. You may be exhausted, worn down mentally and physically; or perhaps you simply don't care at all. Either way, the short amount of time you had to regroup and rest has come to an end.

Wherever you are, your tablets will light up with a notification: PLEASE REPORT TO THE CAFETERIA IMMEDIATELY. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN SEVERE PUNISHMENT. You all probably know what that means by now.

Should you choose to go to the cafeteria, you will see that the screen that once read RESULTS PENDING has been replaced with a list of names: ]

Congratulations to the following Prospects:
Maya Fey, Twelve, Gladiolus Amicitia, Contessa "Tess" Rubikov, Terra, Akira Kurusu, Kyousuke Natsume, Yoosung Kim, Max Caulfield, and Nine. You have all been selected to participate in our very first Apprentice Program, which means that you've passed the Entrance Exam.

[ The screen flashes to a new list of names after a couple of moments. ]

The following Prospects have been placed on our waitlist and will be put up for consideration for future programs:
Kasumi Toyama, Nyanko-sensei, Shuu Iwamine, Detective Pikachu, Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald, Jake Peralta, Takashi Natsume, Henry, Hanamaru Kunikida, and Flat Escardos.

[ Which means... ]

Okosan, Dr. Eggman, and Hollyleaf: We regret to inform you that you have failed our Entrance Exam. We are finishing the final touches of your punishments, so you may take this time to say goodbye to your fellow Prospects and we will carry out your executions shortly.

[ There's still one person missing from these lists who still stands among you.

What will you do next? ]

[He's quiet for a moment because Vivi is alive!! And her fingers are glitter!! And he needs to time to process that!!]

... Where are we going?

[summin]

[ understandable, my friend ]

Summer vacation.

[starswink]

You mean like a vacation home?

[Well, she did say to trust him. So Yoosung will put on his best puppy eyes.]

Can I bring the computers?

[summin]

Something like that.

And...why? How many computers are you bringing, exactly?

[starswink]

I'm the Prospect of Gaming! It's a prospect thing! That's why they were here in the first place, you see.

Ideally I would want one for everyone, but four for a tank/healer/2 DPS party setup could maybe be enough.

[His ulterior motives, besides his gaming addiction, are wanting the computer that logs into Mishima's character. But he's not going to say that, and he's starting big in case they try to bargain down.]

[summin]

...

[ he is so Unsure right now ]

Only four. You won't find anything else on those computers, if you had any other ideas.

[starswink]

Nope, I just need to ease my mental scars! LOLOL! LOLOL!

[It's true, technically. He didn't expect something major to be on them when they were just there to let him play the game. Especially when he already would have looked into them for his own use.]

Ah, do I need a hall pass or something to get them out of the classroom?

[summin]

...

[ yikes. y i k e s. jax just sighs and runs his fingers through his hair, putting his other hand on his hip.

he looks over at the robot again. ]

Can you get the laptops? Four of them.

[robomin]

...Prospect, come with me. We can retrieve them.

[starswink]

[welp never mind]

Yes! Thank you, miss!

[starswink]

It's not okay if I go with? I want to make sure she gets the one I'm logged into...

[He's definitely whining.]

At least let me give her the specifics~

[One of them is Viv, so she should understand well enough if he just tells her quietly.]

[reshoot]

[Leaning into the conversation:]

I can heal or dps!

[starswink]

Really? Awesome...

[Now he's wondering why they've never really talked before. But, there were a lot of prospects at the start, and now it'll only be ten. He'll probably want this distraction again, after all.]

[reshoot]

What else to do on summer vacation, right?

[...]

Pretend things are normal for a bit...

[starswink]

[It feels bad to delude himself again, with the way things turned out. But they also don't have much of a choice in the matter, so he nods. If gaming helps other people recuperate, then it can't be all bad.]

Yeah! A little gaming will help all of get us our energy back!
