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.

[like a lazy WHAT?]

Let's see... we'll take turns. One of us will pick a word, and then the other will tell a story involving that word - and the person who picked the word has to guess if it's true or false. If the person guessing is right, the person who told the story has to drink. If they're wrong, they have to drink.

[touchups]

[YOU HEARD ME

Can't believe he's gonna fuckin die of alcohol poisoning week 0 over a game of storyteller, though. He seems interested enough in the idea of it, at least, and nods in agreement.]

Alright! Seems easy enough. What will we be drinking this time?

[More scorpions????]

[shiftingwinds]

Anything you want to drink! The point is to indulge, right?

[she gestures at the bottles she's put out on the bar!

there is indeed one bottle of scorpion vodka among them.]

[touchups]

[Immediately grabbing that one OF COURSE. He scoots it so it's halfway between both of them!]

We can play with this until we're out of it, then! And you can choose whatever comes next.

[WHY IS HE ALREADY PLANNING FOR TWO BOTTLES.]

[shiftingwinds]

[time to open that bottle and pour some out for them both! this time, the scorpion continues to float in the liquid that's still in there.]

All right, then - do you want to pick a word first, or shall I?

[touchups]

[This poor, poor scorpion.]

I'll pick one! Let's see, let's see... What abooout - sandal?

gmail tried to protect me from the flea by hiding this notif

[shiftingwinds]

Hmm...

[give her a moment to think...]

One time, my brother was out training. He was always very careful to return at exactly the same time each night - but this time, he didn't! So I went to go look for him, and I found him in a ditch, because his sandal had snapped and he'd twisted his ankle. I had to help him walk home.

gmail cant save you forever

[touchups]

Huh...

[Can't believe she's Jiang Yanli, damn. He cants his head from one side to the other, considering. Eventually, and not at all certain-sounding:]

That one's... a lie? Sounds so mundane that it's gotta be, right?

save me gmail..

[shiftingwinds]

[she laughs]

It's a lie. Even if my brother's sandal snapped, he'd never twist his ankle, and even if he did somehow twist his ankle he'd never sit around in a ditch until I went looking for him. He's too stubborn for that.

[she drinks!]

YOU AND JAN BOTH KEEP TRYING TO RUN!! STOP THAT

[touchups]

[He laughs along with her and toasts his cup in her direction out of solidarity, though he doesn't take a drink.]

Haha! He sounds like a handful. Doesn't that kind of stubbornness get people into trouble? Like, what would he even do, hop back on his good foot?

no, free us

[shiftingwinds]

I think he'd just walk and pretend like he wasn't hurting.

[and then his ankle would be even MORE hecked up.]

:(

[touchups]

Wow... That's not very smart.

[HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THIS MAN AND YET.]

huffs

[shiftingwinds]

[


sqx just cracks up at that.]

[touchups]

[god bless sqx. Mahito just seems amused about her amusement...]

You can tell him I said it when you get out of here.

[shiftingwinds]

He won't believe me. No one back home would dare say that about him.

[touchups]

Ooh, really? Why? Is he some kind of hot-shot?

[Mahito would like to kick his shins, as a treat.]

[shiftingwinds]

He is!

[they're supposed to be playing a drinking game and here's sqx, just getting distracted talking about her brother... disgusting]

He worked hard to become a hot-shot, though. He can be a little too strict sometimes, buuuut... that's just how he is.

[touchups]

[DISGOSTIN. It's fine, Mahito is perfectly inclined to let other people ramble about their siblings.]

Huh... Is he older than you? He sounds like an older brother kind of guy.

[shiftingwinds]

Yes! He's my older brother.

[because i'm cursed to always play the younger sibling APPARENTLY.]

[touchups]

[YEAH THAT REALLY IS A CURSE... Mahito makes a sound of understanding and nods, even so.]

He must be super old, then.

[Rude. He can say this though, he crawled fully formed out of the sewers like 2 years ago.]

[shiftingwinds]

...excuse me?

[touchups]

You're like, five hundred years old or something, right? So isn't he even older?

[He just tilts his head to the side, curious, a fool.]

[shiftingwinds]

He's only six years older than me.

[touchups]

[That sure gets her a surprised look.]

Seriously? [FUNKY...] Hey - you're not from Endorsi's world, right? So are you human?

[RANDY YOUR DRINKING GAME.]

[shiftingwinds]

...well, I was, before I ascended.

[shrug emoji

shi qingxuan is also just sipping at her drink now so it doesn't go to waste.]
