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.

[she does not seem bothered by the vague greeting. she's used to it.]

They answered questions, which was nice! The stuff you all wrote for us before they showed up was helpful, too. But I'd like to get to know you a little better, if that's okay.

[probe]

Depending upon what you wish to know, you may find yourself somewhat disappointed-- but I do suppose you can try, regardless.

[they shift to rest their chin in their palm, observing her; there's a faint chime as their wings shift with the movement.]

[shiftingwinds]

Why would I be disappointed? You are who you are - I'll just be happy to get to know you.

[she's just here to make friends and honestly she's having such a good time right now.]

So, if you're hanging out around here... do you like stargazing, or were you just looking for a quiet place?

[probe]

Must it be one or the other?

[they wave a hand, lazily, and set the stars overhead in motion.]

I do prefer to spend my time here over, say, your common areas.

[shiftingwinds]

Well, there could be another reason, but those were just the reasons I thought of first.

[she smiles and looks up at the stars! pretty...]

It can be a little chaotic out in the other rooms. It's fun, but even for me it feels like a bit much, sometimes.

[probe]

I believe that may be something of an understatement, given what you have collectively been up to.

[all these messy people.]

[shiftingwinds]

I'd apologize for that if I had anything to do with it.

[the cheesy bar :c ]

[probe]

Do see that you continue having nothing to do with it. Some of the others were quite upset with the results.

[shiftingwinds]

I can't say I blame them! It was an inconvenience.

[probe]

In more ways than one.

[another wave of their hand. a series of planets is set into orbit above them.]

But you do seem to be enjoying yourself, regardless.

[shiftingwinds]

...well, yeah! That's what we were brought here to do, wasn't it?

[probe]

It is, yes, but not everyone would find it as easy from the start.

[shiftingwinds]

I guess some people are just very good at being repressed.

[s i g h s.]

[probe]

I have been accused of being one of them, from time to time.

[shiftingwinds]

I thought that might be the case - my best friend is one of yours, and he doesn't express himself much.

But that's okay! It just means you have a different way of doing things. When you do express yourself, it means more.

[probe]

You assume that I do intend to express myself.

[still just as dry as ever...]

Not all who share similarities do so thoroughly.

[shiftingwinds]

Everyone does eventually, even if they don't originally plan on it.

[


like, maybe with enough property damage despair will loop right back around and become wrath! wouldn't that be something!]

[probe]

[maybe they will! dos wrath. goodbye to the game.]

Perhaps so-- but I doubt it will be the case anytime soon.

[shiftingwinds]

[imagine if we pissed off the npcs so bad we got a tpk]

We'll see, we'll see! So... will you be sticking around long? Is this just a one-day thing, like yesterday's visit, or...?

[probe]

[haha yeah, imagine (: it'll be fine probably.]

Unfortunately, this will be a slightly longer stay than that.

[shiftingwinds]

"Unfortunately," huh...

[sad]

Well, since you're stuck down here with us for a bit, is there anything I can do to make it a little better for you? Bring you snacks, or something to drink...?

[probe]

I can produce them for myself, if necessary.

[but, hm. if they absolutely must be here with people...

they gesture to the stars above with a clawed hand.]

If you are inclined to stay, then you may call up your own stars.

[the ones currently on display will be totally unfamiliar to her.]

[shiftingwinds]

[she nods, and heads over to the button on the wall to call them up! welcome to the skies of ancient fantasy china, despair.]

What do you think? Pretty, right?

[probe]

I suppose any sky has its own charms.

[... probably that is a yes, or what passes for it.]

[shiftingwinds]

That's true!

[she doesn't seem bothered by that very vague yes.]

Stargazing can be very relaxing.
