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.

[ Hello, troublemakers. Steven's arriving into the common room around 11am to noon-ish on Monday -- a fair time, he thinks, and reasonable enough for more than a handful of people to be present. He checked over the note, and god bless, everything is fixed and all. Then he speaks, loud and clear, authoritative tone speaking of someone who's used to doing announcements. ]

Alright, listen up. It seems we'll be here, together as a group whether we want it or not, for a while yet. That means that for better or worse, we will be living here, with this floor as our temporary home.

That means if someone dirties up the place, you dirty it up for everyone, including yourself, and there's no telling when, or if they'll send a cleaning crew to fix up any messes that are made again.

So!

[ Then, he puts a hand on his chin and smiles! It's a very pretty smile, and the nicest-looking smile anyone's ever seen yet. He's positively radiating, almost sparkling, maybe as a part of the weird happiness effect. So why is that smile also so extremely chilling??? ]

Whoever did all that stupid shit over the weekend -- knock it off, thanks!

[ That's all! ]

[shiftingwinds]

[chiming in helpfully:]

Also, if anyone messes up the bar again, whoever did it owes me a drink!

[commedia]

[CLAPPING!!! Good job, Steven!]

Well said! Well said! [And then to everyone else.] Actually, to chime in, mmm. Who put the, uh, "cheese" in the hot tub? Please. I would like to know, if anyone else knows...

[kokytos]

Especially the cheese.

[ Come on. Don't be afraid. ]

[notaccurate]

I had nothing to do with any of that nonsense.

[He isn't happy either. Stop wrecking shit, guys!!!]

[gamerbrain]

But they did clean it for us.

[kokytos]

This time, they did.

You never know with these people, they might just never do it again.

[gamerbrain]

Everyone could clean together. We might bond.

[kokytos]

Hm? Are you volunteering?

[ But you're so young. The adults in this group need to get their shit together. ]

[aubins]

You might need specify the stupid stuff, there was a lot of it and some of it was just weird instead of destructive.

[ cheeze whiz. sticky pianos. what happened here.

a flute going missing? not so much. ]

[kokytos]

I specifically mean the cheese-stained common room and the explosion of soda all over the music room. And the rotten produce all over the laundry floor.

And the steaks.

[ The last one is decidedly less "destructive", but just weird. ]

[aubins]

... is that soda stuff what was so sticky in the music room?

[ because. wow. he had no idea what that was. ]

Although I do see the logic behind the steaks being in the kitchen.

[kokytos]

I would hope so. [ It smelled sweet and appeared to be some kind of carbonated fluid apparently, so unless someone's been getting extra wild, he'll go with the least wild assumption. ]

It's just too many steaks to have all out at once. [ Food poisoning, anybody? ]

[mukagen]

[ Raises his hand so he can be called upon to speak. ]

[kokytos]

[ GOJOU YOU'RE AN ADULT AND A TEACHER.

He still looks at him though. ]

Yes?

[mukagen]

[ WHY AREN'T YOU GRATEFUL THAT AT THIS VERY MOMENT HE IS SHOWING AN OUNCE OF CONSIDERATION (EVEN IF UNNECESSARY). ]

Teacher, will you be doing anything to hold troublemakers accountable?

[ he is student now ]

[dotcom]

I feel like whoever did it in the first place probably won't care too much about being reprimanded like this.

[ if your first instinct is to make a mess then you probably don't care, f. ]

[kokytos]

Better than not saying anything and making the people who did it think it's fine to do it again.

[ Warning shot better than none. ]

[dotcom]

If their identities get revealed to everyone in general that's one way to shame them.

[alteracion]

You know you just made sure it'll happen again, right?

[ case in point, the tuesday updates, but pretend i'm not tagging this late ]

[kokytos]

It shouldn't.

[ STOP BEING GREMLINS. ]

[alteracion]

Obviously, but has that ever stopped anyone?

[executeprogramming]

Commendation: Very well put, meatbag.

Suggestion: Perhaps you should make an example of someone. It could serve as an important lesson. Or entertainment.

[kokytos]

[ Well if it isn't his favourite murderbot. Are you ever going to stop calling him meatbag? ]

Well, I'd definitely take volunteers, but if I recall right, haven't you just been raring to fire a gun? [ DO YOU WANT TO KILL A MAN, HK-47? ]

[executeprogramming]

[haha no <3]

Response: Oh very much so, yes. However, I would prefer to conserve the charge in my blaster's power pack for...personal use.

Suggestion: Why not remove a hand from the offenders? I would be most happy to assist and, mathematically, they could then make only half the amount of mess. A theory, of course, but one I am willing to test.
