R2 OVERSEER AU CATCHALL POST

JUST IN CASE YOU WEREN'T DONE BEING SAD ABOUT AIRLOCKED!!!

Full details of the AU are here in a ye olde meme comment, but since that was specifically for endgame stuff, this post is specifically for stuff that happened during the round and working out what the fuck her CR even would be. SOME IMPORTANT NOTES!!!


• Yuuri goes by "Thorn" in this AU for a Caligula reference so hopefully distance herself and Not Be Attached to the Champions which as you can imagine definitely does not work! HOWEVER she won't be giving her name out willy nilly, assume that's some rank 8 social link and above shit
  
• This version of R2 is ABSOLUTELY NOT IN ANY WAY as horny on main as the original, tragic as that may be. There's none of this The Bachelor business, but there's still a lot of emphasis on bonding and getting to know each other, and all sorts of Fun Activities on weeks where there's no motives.
  
• The mansion is just the same as the OG version because i'm too lazy to come up with a new one BUT THERE IS ONE CHANGE: there's a little memorial tucked away in a quiet corner of the garden right from the start. and there's a little stuffed bear with it, because I Am Just A Bastard

There's some prompts below BUT you can also tag in and make shit up! YOU CAN EVEN TAG FOR BETWEEN-ROUNDS AND ROUND 5 MEMLOSS BUSINESS, JUST FOR FUN IF YOU LIKE

PROMPTS:

Office hours! Yuuri has private office hours in her little Overseer living space for a few hours every morning, so come bug her for private conversations and social linking!

MMMMMOTIVE!!! Yuuri herself is never the one who gives out the motives – that's the PAL expy A.I., HARU's job – but she's always present when they're offered up to the Champions if you feel you must do a Yell at her.

Afterparty!!! LET'S BE SAD ABOUT MURDER AND TRIALS. She definitely still cooks food for everyone and makes memorials in the gardens and is pretty clearly Super Fucked Up every time one of them happens.

STUPID BONDING ACTIVITIES. This sort of silliness happens every other Tuesday instead of a motive. Sometimes it's brunch, sometimes it's goofy pool parties, BASICALLY ANY SORT OF SILLINESS YOU CAN IMAGINE. Why not hang out with your Overseer. You know you want to.

I'M MENTIONING ROUND 5 AGAIN BECAUSE PLEASE IMAGINE WHAT A MESS THOSE SET OF MEMORY REGAINS WOULD BE WITH ME? THANK YOU

of course if none of those scratch the itch you can make some shit up GO WHERE YOUR IMAGINATION TAKES YOU I'M JUST HERE TO BE UPSET AND SO ARE YOU

this ended up being both motive and office hours

[Did you think R2 being less horny on main would mean Arianna being less shipper on main? I hope not. Four people are dead, one of them her roommate (who may or may not have been a lineface sword girl in this timeline), and she just wants all her new friends to make out.

That is not why she's seeking out the Overseer today, though. That has more to do with the announcement yesterday morning, which she'd publicly responded to with a big speech about how people can change their fates on their own. Being able to sound confident about things like that when you really aren't is an important Sovereign skill.

Knock, knock.] Dame Thorn?

[serrata]

Arianna.

[ That's the greeting she gets, when Yuuri opens the door – because no matter what universe this is, Yuuri's complete inability to be guarded around the Champion Sovereign is just a reliable constant. ]

You're here to talk. [ an observation, as opposed to a question. ] Is it about the motive today?

[daughterofthemark]

[Arianna nods, and invites herself in.]

I trust you heard what I said about fate.

[serrata]

It was hard not to.

[ She says it matter-of-factly, her tone rather breezy, but she's careful to make sure her back is to Arianna as she shuts the door. It's only once she trusts herself to keep an even keel that she turns around again. ]

That was an impressive speech. I can see why they made you Champion Sovereign.

[daughterofthemark]

Thank you! I had to improvise it rather quickly, but I am quite proud of the result.

[For a moment her worries are forgotten, and she smiles cheerfully.]

2/2

[daughterofthemark]

[The moment passes.]

Would you agree that people can change their fates?

[serrata]

... why do you ask?

[ That's not an answer. ]

[daughterofthemark]

I simply wish to know what you think.

[Just asking, no uncertainty! Arianna is a great liar!]

[serrata]

... Well, it depends what you mean by 'fate'.

[ She's trying to say it matter-of-factly, but her expression is... off. ]

If you mean destiny or something like that, then I don't think there's any such thing. So there's nothing to change. But I think we have some control over the ways we die.
