Week 0, Saturday

[notaccurate]

[After escaping the egg escapade the day before- the eggscapade, if you will- Luca realizes that he totally forgot to get Meg's name and she seems cool enough to get to know better. So, after spending his usual hour in the morning making himself look presentable, he's going to go looking for her. Where might she be?]

[callmemeg]

Well, if it isn't Egg-chilles.

[ she's in the rec room, just lounging on a bean bag chair to roast the kfc movie. ]

Did you find the ones in the ice box, too? [ the. the vibrating butt eggs. ] It's like they knew you had a thing for them.

[notaccurate]

[He gets that reference!]

Har har. Good to see there's a fan of the classics here.

[He should have guessed it based on her clothes though.]

I did, and they have been disposed of. Clearly someone is trying to make fun of me here.

[callmemeg]

Is there anything else worth knowing? [ no, really, is there? she gestures vaguely at the movie. ] Because I have yet to be convinced.

[notaccurate]

[Okay, point. That KFC movie is garbage.]

They could have at least provided a library here. Surely that would be better than this.

[callmemeg]

There's some literature between the cushions, if you dig a little.

[ meg throws a piece of popcorn at the tv. did she have that before? she does now. ]

But if you're looking for Sophocles, I think you'll be at it for a while.

[notaccurate]

What a pity, I was really hoping to find out what happened to that Ajax fellow.

[He'll plop down on a nearby seat. If they're going to talk, he might as well relax a bit.]

[callmemeg]

I wouldn't want to spoil it for you, but you know how those things go. Greek tragedies. They always end badly.

[notaccurate]

Of course. The Greeks and their tragedies. You rarely hear about the comedies.

[callmemeg]

What can I say? Not everyone has Thalia’s sense of humor.

...You know, it’s funny. I hadn’t pegged anyone here as a patron of the arts. They all seemed too busy with the - [ wrinkles! her nose! ] - cheese whiz to care about much else.

[notaccurate]

They're uncultured swines who don't know what they're missing. The classics are classic for a reason. My only regret is that I cannot read them in their original language.

[callmemeg]

[ that actually gets her to laugh. ]

Tell you what - you find the texts, and I'll read them for you. Win-win, right?

[notaccurate]

I might end up having to learn an eighth language here if that's the case.

[He doesn't know the limits of his own mind, but he hasn't hit it yet.]

[callmemeg]

[ snort. ]

Careful, now. Hubris can be a fatal flaw.

[notaccurate]

It can be, but I would say 'can speak multiple languages' is a far cry from the kinds of hubris that usually get people killed.

[callmemeg]

If there's anything to take from those stories, it's that one kind of hubris can lead to others. It's a slippery slope.

[ she pops a piece of popcorn into her mouth, and offers the bowl to luca. ]

Lucky for you, we're in the right place to embrace all of that.

[notaccurate]

I'll be sure to lord my language skills over everyone.

[Then he says a sentence in Latin. Does Meg know Latin?]

[callmemeg]

[ no! she gives him a flat, unimpressed look! ]

Do I look Roman to you?

[notaccurate]

No, you look Greek, but I don't know Greek.

[callmemeg]

[ she says something in greek, out of spite ]

[notaccurate]

Right back at you.

[callmemeg]

Oh? Well, thanks for the compliment, Achilles. Really, I needed to hear that today.

Week 0, Friday...2!

[notaccurate]

[He needs coffee, and he is on a quest for coffee. But he finds Meg in the kitchen instead.]

Ah? Hello?

[callmemeg]

[ she's already here, seated with her legs crossed and nursing a cup of medusa coffee, which she lifts in a sort of toast. ]

Good morning to you, too, Achilles.

week 1, saturday.

[callmemeg]

[ i'm giving up locations but whenever meg sees luca, she's offering him a tired wave. ]

Is it just me, or did that go even worse than last week?

[notaccurate]

[Who even needs locations at this point.]

It's not just you, that was a shitshow.

[callmemeg]

Ugh, was it ever. And to think we all wanted to do better after what happened last week.

[notaccurate]

At least then we had an idea of what was going on. This is only going to encourage people to indulge in murder.

[callmemeg]

[ she makes a face. ]

Who really thinks of murder as an indulgence, anyway? Anyone who looks at it that way shouldn't be around other people, even in an inescapable prison like this one.

[notaccurate]

We have a whole team of people who are associated with violence.

[callmemeg]

Here I thought they were Team Anger Management. Even then, it's not like most of us signed on for murder here.

[notaccurate]

I know I definitely didn't.

[callmemeg]

[ MAPLE!!!!!! ]

And to think, I almost believed it would be a one-time deal last week! And if tomorrow is anything like last time, it’ll be framed as just another show. What are we, Romans?

[ it’s disgusting, frankly. ]

Week 2, Monday

[notaccurate]

[Luca's already in a mood by the time he's out and about, and it's only about to get worse. Because by the time he finds Meg and makes eye contact with her, she is going to see quite a funny moment there. Though by the time it's done, Luca does not look amused at all.]

It really was an unfair fight. That prick.

[callmemeg]

So Achilles has a weak heel, after all.

[ she could make fun of him, tease him a little more, but like. she gets it - someone hitting you while you're down. ]

I could tell. But there's always someone like that, isn't there?

[notaccurate]

You figured it out. My weak point is pastries.

[They go right to his HIPS.]

There always is. He was such a petulant brat about it too.

[callmemeg]

We can't all be perfect.

[ and that's this week's a pride indulgence - no i'm kidding. ]

Surely there's some other way you can get one over on him? Seems like he's earned it, if you ask me.

[notaccurate]

Oh trust me, I want to. But much like you, he's seemingly perfect. A youthful prodigy, looked up to by all, handsome...finding a way to get my retribution isn't going to be easy.

[callmemeg]

Handsome, huh?

[ why is that the one she has to point out ]

Trust me, I know that type. All-around perfect, everyone loves them, seems like you're the only one who ever sees the other side of them? There was one of those in my school days, too. If you ask me, waiting for just the right moment to get back at them may feel like torture, but it's worth it in the end, if you get it right.

[notaccurate]

[Meg is valid.]

That is exactly what it is. Even worse, he's a professor! He's technically my superior! And he's just a- a big bully!

[Luca has Feelings on this.]

But you're right, I just need to find the right time to get back at him.

[callmemeg]

Well, then, you can count on me to cheer you on from the sidelines. Got something in mind for him already, or is that also a work in progress?

[notaccurate]

It's a work in progress. But I have plenty of time to consider it. Right now my first thought is "make him embarrass himself in front of everyone" because it would destroy his reputation.

[callmemeg]

As good a start as any, I suppose. But you know how it is - every hero has a fatal flaw. You just have to find his.

[ speaking of heroes... ]
