WEEK 0 MINGLE

[probe]

POPULATION: 37

Good morning, starshines. It is another beautiful day here on the base and it’s the start of a new week!

After the events of the day before and the meet and greet provided by four new Avatars, you may find yourself wondering how you can get in touch with them again. Fear not. One look at your handy dandy cell phone will reveal eight new contacts added to your directory. Feel free to shoot them a message. You may be surprised.

But before you get too far, perhaps it’s worth checking out the base once more. Those locked rooms from the days before have been unlocked, free for exploration. In addition, should occupants visit the central elevator they will find the elevator in working order (and flame-free) and that a new floor has opened. Take a look, familiarize yourself, and make yourself comfortable. Life on the base is a happy place.

And speaking of happiness…it’s funny. For the rest of the week, all who reside on the base will be inflicted with little feelings of hope and happiness, a belief that they can manifest almost anything. This week, all will discover that any mundane thing they hope for will be at their disposal...though do be careful. Those small wishes may come to fruition in ways you don't expect. For example, wishing for a year's supply of sushi may net you one astronomically large sushi roll. An eyeshadow palette may provide you with samples of actual colored eyelids. And a punching bag could be mistaken for a bag full of confetti instead.

May all your hopes and dreams come true, everyone.

DESPAIR

[probe]

[despair is a difficult figure to miss. they're tall, for one, but their most distinct feature is a large pair of black wings, usually curled around themselves a bit to avoid knocking anything over. they wear the same hooded cloak as the others, with their symbol embroidered onto the side (though theirs is modified to work around the wings). the hood also sits a little oddly, for some reason.

you'll most likely find them in the planetarium or in the unlabeled room. in either case, they're hovering a short distance above the ground, lounging in the air as they watch either the planetarium stars or the 'sky' in the ??? room.

they barely bother to turn toward anyone who approaches, though, just greeting them with:]

If you have complaints, you may direct them to the other Avatars.

[bonetiddies]

Oh.

[Well, she was planning to text them, but instead will immediately approach when she sees them in the ??? room.]

Hello. Are you Despair, then?

[probe]

So I am.

[they give her a slight nod, just a brief incline of their head.]

I would say I hope the others have answered your questions already, but they have ever been... easily distracted.

[shiftingwinds]

[time to hang out with despair in the planetarium!]

No complaints! I just wanted to say hello.

[probe]

Then you have done what you came for.

[they don't shoo her away, but she also gets little more than a slight inclination of their head in 'greeting'.]

The others were useful enough then, I take it?

[kokytos]

[ Oh... the planetarium. It draws him immediately as he walks in, the pretty stars, so close he can just about touch them. The unfounded positivity he feels in his chest doesn't help. But then he sees the Avatar of the hour, just who he was seeking to see. ]

Unfortunately, I've already spoken to some of the others, and they actually directed me to you.

[probe]

Ah, of course they have.

[their wings make a very faint chiming noise as the feathers ruffle and settle.]

You may ask, if they have left questions unanswered.

[aubins]

[ uwu is this a plantarium date? ]

If I had complaints I wouldn't be so picky about who I directed them to.

[probe]

You may find me a pickier audience for them, however.

[they just shrug! their wings shift slightly with the movement, with a very faint chime.]

[sengokus]

[mineo is also wandering into the planetarium - and almost jumps like he didn't expect anyone else to be in there?! but then despair speaks and he's just humming thoughtfully]

Um... no, just wanted to explore.

You doing okay?

[probe]

Do you believe I should not be?

[their tone is dry, maybe faintly amused. they just continue hovering where they are for now.]

[notaccurate]

[...WINGS...]

Can you fly?

[They're floating but still! Wings!!!]

[probe]

If I chose to, then yes. I could.

[but they make no move to prove it, seemingly comfortable here.]

[dotcom]

Oh... they were right, you do complain.

[ he just walks up in the unlabeled room... hello, despair. ]

[probe]

Ah, yes. Every hour of every day. One must occupy themselves somehow.

[this may be sarcasm, but they might just always sound dry.]

[gamerbrain]

[ aoi approaches in the plenaterium! ] No complaints.

This place is nice.

[ ... so does she mean this whole place or just the planetarium? ]

[probe]

It is more agreeable than the rest of them, I believe.

[they enjoy vibing in relative peace.]

[toesies]

[Stops walking. And gives them a look, like binch? Curb the attitude.]

And what if I just wanted to say hi?

[probe]

Then you have done so now, have you not?

[their tone is dry by default, but they don't sound fully dismissive.]

[fergalicious]

[ Despair! At the planetarium.

Medb eyes the hovering and the wings. ]

Will you spread them so I can see?

[ She wants to see their full wingspan. ]

[brightred]

... you. [someone is uh. not super happy about any of those especially not her assignment. she even tracked them down to the ??? to yell at them.]

[chevaleros]

[ the planetarium naturally draws some interest, being new and all, though she's more interested in the nearby figure.

she greets them with a polite curtsy, genial. ]

I think my complaints are best directed at the other people here. [ MONSTERS THAT THEY ARE ] Hello, Despair.

[niceguyferatu]

Ah, but what could I possibly have to complain about?

I merely count this as an opportunity to become acquainted. What may I call you?

[probe]

Don't shrug off all the complaints on us, my dude.

[arms folded, feet aflame.]

Stop skulking in here. I have something I need you to do.

hewwo

[heliosenergy]

[ Checking out those wings. ]

I'm not here for complaints, darling. I'm here for a little bit of company if you don't mind.
