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.

i. common room

[ when aoi is not standing around like an NPC waiting to be spoken to and staring vacantly off into space... which i'll be honest, is a thing she regularly does... she can be found sitting on the couch! playing on the smartphone she brought from home. if you happen to get a glimpse over her shoulder, it appears to have a visual novel installed.

it is, in fact, her own canon. on her phone. the character on the screen looks identical to her. weird? but if she catches you looking, aoi will just tilt her head slightly to the side. ]

Aoi only has this old version of the script.

[ how... sad...? sure. okay. ]

ii. command room

[ i'm sorry but every single week, you will definitely find her, at some point, in some room, holding up her cell phone in the air. ]

Boop boop boop boop boop boop...

[ and doing that. forever. she would REALLY like to save her game before it's too late! ]

iii. indulgence...?

[ well. things have begun. which means aoi is leaning into your personal space just. just a little. it's fine! ]

Do you want to indulge? Aoi will help, however you need. Not just for lustful indulgences. Aoi can help with anything.

[ open offer! ]

iv. wildcard

[ I'm going to be honest, I'm nervous about bodyslamming other people for PCs with Aoi because she's Like She Is, so please please let me know if you want a PC LOL. Aoi is enthusiastic about helping with any indulgence, and alternatively, can be found pretty much anywhere. staring vacantly like she has no idea what to do with herself. ]

[toesies]

Beep bop beep beep boop?

[This is clearly the correct response to whatever Aoi is doing.]

[gamerbrain]

[ there is no incorrect response. ]

Are you trying to help?

[toesies]

[A shrug and a smile.]

I thought we were pretending to be robots.

[gamerbrain]

Nope! Aoi is trying to connect, to save the game.

[toesies]

Oh... That. My idea was less troubling, but okay.

[Aoi, your mental health.]

Have you asked an "avatar" [airquotes] yet? Maybe they have wi-fi.

[WHITE IS SO ALARMED BY AOI AT ALL TIMES]

You shouldn't just offer that to people!

[gamerbrain]

Why not?

[enfangs]

What if someone asks you to do something seriously messed up?

[gamerbrain]

Like what?

Do you want to do something messed up to Aoi?

[enfangs]

What? No!!

[housewolf]

What's your indulgence?

[gamerbrain]

[ she holds out her hand to show him! it's lust! surprise surprise. ]

[housewolf]

[He should've known...]

Want some help with yours?

[gamerbrain]

[ she's usually the one to ask, so this almost startles her? ]

Sure. Aoi would like to see what sort of CGs you'll unlock.

[housewolf]

Alright. Yours or mine?

[fisherwoman]

[After watching this for a while:]

Hey, you. Did you hit your head?

[gamerbrain]

[ ....... she lowers her hand and touches her head like she's checking for bumps? ]

Nope.

[fisherwoman]

Then why are you doing that?

[gamerbrain]

Trying to connect, to save the game.

[fisherwoman]

What game?

iii!

[executeprogramming]

Query: Are you familiar with the term "sucker punch"?

[gamerbrain]

Yep.

But if you hit Aoi now, it won't be unexpected anymore.

[executeprogramming]

Reassurance: Do not worry, fake meatbag, I have no interest in hitting you. Right now. Not after announcing it, anyway.

Statement: No, I have something...different in mind. You are here to fulfill desires, yes? It would make me very happy indeed were you to surprise one of the nearby meatbags. I can say from vast personal experience there is little more satisfying than an attack from an unexpected source.

[gamerbrain]

You can call Aoi "Aoi"!

[ she does not. seem to realize he is insulting her on purpose. ]

You want Aoi to hit someone else? Aoi isn't very strong. It might not be satisfying.
