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.

It must be - it's not like anything I've seen at home.

[it's pretty, though! she smiles, glancing from the stars, to yuri, and back to the stars again.]

You can see the stars at night, of course, but this is something else!

[aubins]

Yeah, it's... I don't know. Like if you could go right up into the sky and surround yourself with the stars?

[ ... ]

It's almost more impressive than a machine with endless food options, I'll give it that. [ ALMOST. ]

[shiftingwinds]

Only "almost"?

[cute.

she has a soft spot for guys who like food, though.]

[aubins]

Almost.

I mean I can see the stars whenever I'm outside, but food that arrives on command? That's something special.

[shiftingwinds]

...well, that's true. It's convenient, too!

[aubins]

Ain't that the truth. I need one of these back home, but I'm not sure we even have the energy sources to run it.

[shiftingwinds]

[hmm. that makes sqx look thoughtful.]

Something like this could probably be powered with spiritual energy, but really, I'd like to know what's powering it here...

[aubins]

[ if this was tuesday, he'd tell her it was electricity! but it's not, so: ]

No idea. It makes sense to some of the people here, and seems to be pretty much limitless from what I can tell. Imagine being able to harness that.

[shiftingwinds]

I can almost imagine it!

[


says the god.]

[aubins]

Almost!

It'd solve a lot of problems, that's for sure.

[ SQX your GODLINESS. ]

[shiftingwinds]

It certainly would!

...although I suppose the ingredients would still have to come from somewhere...

[which wouldn't be helpful for regions experiencing famine...]

[aubins]

Unless they have a way of just kind of... making the ingredients they need? Which would serve so many issues, honestly.

[ never having to worry about providing food again... ]

[shiftingwinds]

...that would probably make sense. The machine seems a bit too small to be able to have all those ingredients inside of it, don't you think?

[aubins]

Yeah, I'd be expecting something around the size of a cathedral to house that much food.

[shiftingwinds]

That makes the machine here all the more extraordinary! We really should figure out how it works...

[aubins]

I think if we took it apart the Avatars might end us.

[shiftingwinds]

[she giggles]

You're probably right about that!

[aubins]

I figured people would be curious about stuff here -- I know I was? But that was something else.

[shiftingwinds]

Maybe they'll let us examine it more closely once we're all done here and they don't need it anymore!

[aubins]

Grasping at straws a bit there, but... sure. Let's live in optimism.

[shiftingwinds]

You never know! If we don't ask, we definitely won't get to - but if we remember to ask at the end, there's at least a chance.

[aubins]

Make a note of it and hope we don't wreck so many things they boot us out with our tails between our legs at the end of all this.

[shiftingwinds]

Well, I haven't wrecked anything... and if you haven't wrecked anything either, maybe they'll feel grateful that we behaved ourselves and let us take a look!

[aubins]

I watched someone bend a spatula? I don't know if that's put me on the naughty list or not.

[shiftingwinds]

If all you did was watch, you might be okay.
