[Entrance Exam] Week Two
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.

[ he pauses for a moment to turn at any of the cameras checking on them, and smiles sheepishly at it. ]
I wanna help Viv out, too. She needs to get out of here as much as we do.
no subject
Whaaat?!
[But now that he's said it, she casts a quick, nervous look to the cameras in there as well. She lowers her voice, though not by that much, to a rather loud whisper.]
Are you sure? We haven't known her for very long.
no subject
[ he nods, definitely sure of his answer ]
Didn't you see her back there? She definitely doesn't want this for us. That was definitely the idea of the not-so-cool admin and his bosses. I think she wants to be on our side.
no subject
Of course I saw it. I don't like this new admin, or whoever he's working with, so if she really wants to help us... then I guess we have no choice.
[She nods in kind.]
We've got to help her, and maybe she'll return the favor.
no subject
...all you need to do... is overcome his stupid trial.
I trust you all... you can do that. You're all... here for a reason.
[Her voice is soft-- more unsure of itself, like it was when she first met them. But that's not their fault. Everything... everything has gone very wrong and she's a part of it. That realization was not a kind one.]
If... there's something I can do to help... then... I'll do it... But... I think you already have everything you need. You don't... need me... or Oswald... to help you grow into the heroes we want you to be. That's... what I think...
no subject
[ here's your favorite prospect!! but he's not looking at her like he hates her. rather... he's looking at her like he's not sure what to think. ]
no subject
[The cameras can see her. But her expression says fucking do it.]
no subject
Can't afford to die here, after all. Got a king to look after.
no subject
There are... loopholes.
[She says. Very. Very. Softly.]
no subject
[ he moves a little closer. ]
What kinda loopholes?
no subject
no subject
maybe he was super wrong about her. ]
So if I call him out, you'll give me permission to sink my fist into that damn irritating face, yeah?
no subject
no subject
[ There's a kind of... Well, she knew this wasn't as innocent as it was made out to be. But she's a little too tired to complain. ]
no subject
[ flat's eyes light up the moment he sees their favorite admin step through the door. hell, he's almost tempted to hug her, but holds himself back from doing so. he's just extremely happy for the first time today. ]
Yeah. You're right. I think we're all capable of overcoming this without killing anyone. It's not just...inefficient. It's not right.
[ but then he turns to vivi, his eyes serious. ]
But we wanna-- well, I wanna help you, too. You don't have to continue to be used by... [ he'll point to the camera. IF YOU'RE WATCHING OSWALD. HE'S REFERRING TO YOU. ] those people.
no subject
[She may be a bit biased, but you're her Prospects. She believes in you.]
...I could leave, I suppose. But... if I left... there would be no one... no one to try and change this program. I am... really grateful. I am. But... I can't leave things like this.
This is only the entrance exam. What will they do when they open the school to their Apprentices? I... have to stay. I... have to change their minds about how things will be run.
no subject
it reminds him of the professor and, for a second, it feels like the bad memories playing in his head are nothing more than radio noise. if the professor had been in her position, flat's certain that he would have done the same thing.
and, for a second, flat is tempted to say that he'll stay with her, too. but he can't do that. he has people waiting for him at home. he has to go. ]
That just means we have to do our best to overcome this situation! Even if some of you think it's impossible-- I think you can do it. Viv believes in you and so do I! As your friend!
no subject
...Viv...
[.......................
................................. . . .
Alright, yes, she can't handle much more of this, but at least one thing is clear now. They've got at least Vivienne on their side, and that's good. She's good to them, at least so far.
Maya couldn't bring herself to be rude.]
Thank you for coming down here. I haven't seen you since that announcement.
no subject
[It was highly unpleasant.]
His lectures are... very long.
no subject
[Pointed glance at one of the cameras.]
no subject
[She's honestly just glad to be free of him for a while. He's... not very fun to be around you can imagine.]
no subject
[As she probably already knows, ahaha....]
And, we're here to help, so don't worry about that either.
