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

raises my gun and takes aim

[ It's been week after week after week of this nonsense. They've lost so many, and Mira isn't sure she can keep on going the way she has been. She's not nearly as strong as the others who have died, who have been executed, who are still here.

All things considered, she's convinced she's the weakest link. Especially after their latest trial. It's left her pale and shaken, and she isn't sure she'll ever not feel the ache that's buried itself deep inside her heart.

She hadn't been able to vote, in the end. It'd been impossible for her to send Nari to her death.

She's here at the afterparty, but she's not really in the mood for much. Mira knows she should eat something, but... she can't. Her body feels so heavy, and her head hurts from how much she's cried. If she could stay here forever, she would, and not in the room she and Nari had eventually shared together.

Office Hours

[cameupshort]

[The actual round might not be nearly horny on main as a whole, but Finn is still one to latch onto anyone that treats him with a modicum of decency and personal respect. And, now, three weeks into this twisted social experiment, that includes Thorn.]

[It's taken a long time for Finn to warm to her, relatively. That first week was nice enough, but you'd have to be stupid to get chummy with the one keeping them all prisoner, right? But then, as the second week had revealed, she wasn't actually as in charge as she'd claimed. She might not be subject to rule seven, but she was as much a prisoner as they were. And it had only gotten worse. An accidental death -a basic painkiller unthinkingly given to someone whose biology made it fatal- and they'd had to condemn Prompto for it anyway.]

[It had been a bad day all around.]

[But by all appearances it had affected their Overseer as badly as the rest of them. She had joined their mourning, helped those who were worse off. Put up two more memorials in the garden.]

[Let's be real, the cooking was almost definitely what sealed the deal here.]

[So, finally, on the third Wednesday of their stay in the Fantasy Suite, Finn makes use of Thorn's office hours.]

...Hey.

[He stands a little uncertainly in the doorway, not quite stepping in yet. Hands clasped lightly in front of him, at waist height. A sort of instinctive at-ease position as he waits to be invited in.]

aftermotive

[in4apounding]

[So, um, the motive this week was sort of a doozy. If no one enacted rule seven by midnight, Friday, everyone would get to go home.]

[With the caveat of everyone you cared about at home forgetting you'd ever existed.]

[Oh, sure, anything you'd done would still be in place, we're not talking about rewriting history (yet). But. Credit would just sort of mentally shift over a few spaces. All phsyical and mental evidence that you'd ever been would just be gone. You'd be e perpetual non-person, HARU had promised, never quite sticking in the heads of anyone you cared about.]

[So, yeah, the Champion Cutting Edge is taking this prospect pretty hard.]

[She'd made herself scarce almost immediately after the threat had been delivered, sooner or later making her way to the most isolated corner of the garden she could find. A few galaxy pigeons have made her their perch, softly cooing to the tune of 'Who Wants To Live Forever', but Penny isn't paying attention. She's dully staring at her PIP, a short video playing over and over, Penny only moving enough to tap the replay button every time the footage ends. It's the video they were given a few weeks back as part of a hostage motive; featuring a young girl with a bright smile and a scythe bigger than she is.]

[Approach: y/n?]

oh boy

[tacomeme]

[ It became clear, early on, that Thorn didn't want to do this. That she felt guilt at every death. But unlike during another timeline, Takumi never had that important talk with this Overseer that made him see them as an ally.

Not sleeping with this one probably didn't help either, let's be honest.

So when he gains Mai's powers he spends his nights hunting the "demons". It's not strange to see him slinking around on the cameras. Not strange when he finds a place to hide, and set up an ambush...]

this ended up being both motive and office hours

[daughterofthemark]

[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?
