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.

1. sometimes jesters come in with their own built-in friends

[Are you in the common room? Great! Douman is here at a table, quietly sipping on what appears to be tea, but...how odd. They don't seem alone.]

[In fact sitting opposite of them is a dark, skeleton-like figure, a large black piece of paper emblazoned with an eye hanging in front of what might be their face. The figure has their dark hands folded in their lap, and there's a cup of piping hot tea in front of them on the table. However, they don't move. The eye of the paper stares blankly. Douman doesn't seem to be even talking to them either, just sitting here with eyes close, enjoying the tea.]

[Hey, who knows, maybe this is just a new member of the indulgence house?? Maybe you should say hi???]

2. good luck you can find me behind 45678765 bodies

[Later, Douman can be found perusing the Experimental Holding area with a wide grin. They reach up to clack their fingernails over the glass of the pods, humming to themselves with quiet delight.]

Mmm. This brings back memories! [????????????????????] Ahaha. Why do you think they have these? Just in case one of us falls to the ground, dead?

3. wildcard

[If you want personal clown crimes just throw any prompt at me! I'm crystal#4450 for ideas and/or pcs!]

[sqx is just innocently walking into the common room to grab something to drink from the bar (it's like 9am, please stop), and she nods to douman when she spots them, then nods to the other figure sitting across from them.

then she pauses.

takes another look.

and backs up rapidly, nearly smacking into the wall in her shock.]

Ahahaha, who's your friend..?!

[is her voice a little shrill? yeah.]

[commedia]

Hmmmmmmm?

[Douman opens a single eye almost lazily to look over at SQX, their smile growing a little wider.]

Qingxuan, please don't be alarmed. This is Akimitsu-dono. He's quite harmless, despite his appearance.

[touchups]

[WELL. THERE'S A LOT HAPPENING HERE. THIS IS A WEIRD TEA TIME. Mahito moseys over once he spots Douman's tea guest, curious funky cat that he is, and immediately seats himself at this table of fools.

After like, half a heartbeat which is a remarkable amount of hesitation for him, he also reaches out to touch one of the hands of said skeleton-like figure. A second or two of silence...]

...Huh. Sleeping?

[commedia]

...Yes.

[Says Douman - they open their eyes to look down at Mahito, smiling pleasantly. Nice to have a funky flea cat join them!]

Akimitsu-dono really is the type to like his rest...and with everything else, I am not surprised he's taking his chance to get some more sleep.

1 why would I choose a non-skeleton prompt

[holeful]

[Fukuda actually stands and just looks for a long moment as he tries to determine what's going on here. It doesn't seem to be moving, or alive, but there's a robot here, so, like...]

Ah, hello?
[He's saying this to the skeleton.]

[commedia]

...

[Douman is just smirking at this attempt.]

He won't answer you.

[kokytos]

[ HOPPING ONTO THE 1 TRAIN, cause I wanna know about this big bird buddy.

Steven walks past the odd pair, looks both of them up and down, and frowns. ]

I don't recognize you from over the weekend. [ Addressing the "friend". ]

[commedia]

[The "friend" just keeps sitting there, staring blankly with that painted eye.]

[Douman, in the meantime, just sips at their tea, smile twisted up to the side.]

I wouldn't be expecting an introduction back, if I were you.

2

[gamerbrain]

[ she is unperturbed! ]

Back-ups. That would make sense.

[commedia]

Mmmm. Yes. "Back-ups" is exactly the word for it.

[A turn to Aoi.]

You have other bodies too, Aoi?

1.

[aubins]

[ well.

that's happening. ]

A friend of yours?

[commedia]

[It sure is happening! Douman lets out a huff.]

You could say that.

[bonetiddies]

[What. Why does Limbo get a skeleton friend and not her. She's a little startled to see it at first, and then curious; she'll walk over to inspect it more closely. It's made of paper?]

What is this? Did you bring it with you?

[commedia]

[Not at all! The "face" is made of paper, but the clothes are real, and the bones seem like actual bones, though the hands that are folded in its lap seem very real. This skeleton friend doesn't react to the observation, either way.]

That's Akimitsu-dono. I found him in the box which I had in my room when I arrived.

2

[fluffier]

[ strong dislike

Yuel is definitely crouched on the ground next to the control panel, giving the room a wide eyed stare. ]

Who cares! It's super creepy!

[commedia]

Ah, I suppose it would look like that...

[And a turn towards her, their tone light.]

But if these are here in the case something goes wrong, doesn't it make you feel better that they're here to use for that purpose?

2

[housewolf]

Memories?

[Oh this is... weird.]

Do you think that's gonna happen?

[commedia]

Mmm. Yes. I used multiple bodies. Not quite like this...

[Douman???]

I don't know. But makes you wonder why such a thing is here, hm?

1

[fisherwoman]

[She doesn't look as put off by this new friend as she should be at all, but she does look curious as she comes into the common room, blinking.]

Oh? Who's this?

[commedia]

Akimitsu-dono.

[And they gesture to them.]

Not one of us, if you're thinking. He came with me.

[mukagen]

[ Gojou is just snooping around, seeing everyone perish from the weight of their wishes, but! This particular figure sitting by Douman catches his eye.

He peers at it like a curious cat, but doesn't get too close. ]

It doesn't seem like your friend likes the brew.

[commedia]

Hm? Oh, no. You have the wrong idea. Akimitsu-dono wouldn't be able to drink it even if he was awake.

[They open their dark eyes, fixing them on Gojou with a light smile.]

I'm doing it to be polite, you see. I hardly want to anger him.

2

[sophistications]

[Tamaki's been looking at some of the pods himself, a hand to his chin as he hums under his breath.]

I suppose a better question is where exactly did they come from.

[commedia]

[A tilt of the head.]

A good question! A fine question. What is your best guess, mm?
