[Entrance Exam] Week Two

[lockdownmods]

A new week dawns. Not much seems to have changed, huh? Despite the excitement, your 'exam' continues. However, that doesn't mean that everything is the same. waking up on Sunday morning, it would seem that your tasks application has been updated. The old ones are gone and there are several new jobs for you to take on should you so wish.

It would be nice if this week ended even more uneventful than the last but...

Well even if it isn't, at least you shouldn't be bored.

As you did before, you still have the opportunity to speak with Vivienne during her office hours as well. Make the most of your last week with your fellow Prospects. Or don't. It's all up to you.

Why can't she speak for herself? This is really suspicious!

[robomin]

You can ask her whatever you like. But a lot has happened so don’t be too hard on her.

[It certainly doesn’t seem like Kaoru is free to answer some thing but....]

[itwasfeyt]

A lot...? But she wasn't even gone for that long.

[robomin]

No, but I thought... it was probably still hard on her...

[itwasfeyt]

I don't know what that means! [AND IT'S DEEPLY WORRYING HER]

[robomin]

It is... a bit unclear, even to me. But I assure you... she was not harmed in any way.

[starswink]

"A lot"... of what?

Hmph... well I don't want to be hard on her. I might be hard on you, if that's because she's hurt or scared.

[She is standing right next to Vivi but can't talk? That seems like she's being threatened. And after what happened yesterday with the 'ghosts', he's on edge.]

[robomin]

Nothing bad, I assure you.

But being pulled from the class and then... having that decision reversed...

...and I’m sure... she had to answer a lot of my superior’s questions... if he was so interested in her....

[starswink]

You say that like you don't know for sure...

[robomin]

I was... here the entire time. So... I only know what I was told...

[starswink]

Then were you also told to keep her quiet right now? They could have been lying to you...!

[Though if that's the case, then talking to her wouldn't work anyway. How frustrating.]

[coagmentatio]

Heh. You're awfully optimistic. Assuming you're telling the truth to all of us, anyway. You don't think you ever could have been lied to?

I can't imagine all kidnappers being the most trustworthy, so I wouldn't be surprised if you were just being used. And lies are told out of convenience.

[ He has a lot of experience with this shit... and none of it's good, so...... ]

[robomin]

...I...

[Vivienne closes her eyes.]

It isn't as though... I don't know that. Even so, they... were willing to listen to me. I will continue... to try to... get through to them.

[In her own way, she hopes she can make sure this doesn't have to be... such a bad thing for the people involved. They are her Prospects. She will stand for them, no matter the risk.]

[starswink]

You mean it's because of you that she's back?

[Well now he feels like a jerk]

[robomin]

You were all... upset with the decision that was made. Well... so was I.

This group... is my responsibility. And you all helped me... make that decision to stand up and fight the decision they made.

[What she should have done from the beginning.]

[coagmentatio]

[ People don't fight for others without expecting it to benefit them as well. People in positions of responsibility only care about making themselves look better. ]

What's in it for you?

[ Heroes don't exist. ]

[robomin]

[That makes her quiet for a moment. Because she considers that very seriously.]

When it was decided... how this program would proceed... I made a decision that a number... disagreed with.

Being here... I want to shape it to... be the positive thing it's meant to be. Meeting you all... has solidified that.

[coagmentatio]

[ ... Ah.

For just a moment, it looks like he's about to jump into saying something in response. But, instead? His lips press together even more tightly. He looks away, falling completely quiet...

Nice work shutting him up. ]
