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.

Oh, I don't know, depending on what it is we're trying to make and why - we might not be too bothered by what we end up with.

[she's pocketing the cork. it might come in handy later.]

[holeful]

[Thinking.]

I suppose if it was something more general, it might be harder for it to become twisted. Is that what you mean?

[shiftingwinds]

Well, not just that - but if you don't need it for an extremely specific reason, you might be happy to have gotten something you weren't expecting.

[holeful]

Ah, that does make sense. Simply the novelty of not knowing what you're going to get, like a gachapon.

[So things like that is fine. But you don't generally get bleach from something like that.]

Maybe that's why they made it this way?

[shiftingwinds]

Gachawha?

[???]

But, maybe! If it's fun, we'll enjoy it, won't we?

[holeful]

Ah-
[He keeps forgetting;]

It's a machine you put coins into ang get a randomized prize capsule. Usually there's some sort of theme but you aren't guaranteed to get exactly what you want on the first try.

[shiftingwinds]

Oh, that sounds really neat, though!

[she wants to try one... @ mods give them a gacha machine.]

[holeful]

Haha. The modern world really is full of wonders.

[It is neat! Things are neat.]

[shiftingwinds]

It is! I'm looking forward to experiencing them all while I'm here.

[holeful]

[Hmmmm.]

Technology aside, have you had donuts before?
[That's somewhat modern. Pastries in general, is fairly modern on their side of the world.]

[shiftingwinds]

Omi had me try one on our first day here! It was pretty good. Is that your favorite?

[holeful]

[He thinks about it.]

Hmmm... Maybe. It's a nice shape.
[This man and his fucking holes.]

[shiftingwinds]

[his... what holes, caitie?]

Yeah, its shape makes it easy to eat on the go.

[holeful]

[HIS HOLES, IN GENERAL, OF VARIOUS NON-SEXUAL TYPES.]

Hm? Ah, yes, I suppose that's true.
[Clearly not what he meant.]

[shiftingwinds]

[i don't believe you]

...and they're aesthetically pleasing, too?

[holeful]

[I WOULDN'T LIE TO YOU.]

Aah.
[He seems placated enough by this.]

Here's the first one.
[Finally pulling out volume 1 and handing it to her.]

[shiftingwinds]

[yes you would]

Oh, thank you!

[



yes, she's going to start reading it right here.]

[holeful]

[You know what it's fine? He'll just find her the next volume. In fact, he might as well put them all in order? If they're here for a while, she might have time to read a lot of them.

Anyway he's basically going to forget she's there as well so it's fine probably.]

[shiftingwinds]

[i can't believe this thread is just sqx reading manga and holding her hand out for the next volume whenever she finishes one now.]

[holeful]

[Surely she's going to feel the need to sit down eventually? It takes me like 40 mins to read a volume of manga?

Anyway Fukuda dutifully hands her volume 2 when she holds out her hand before going back to sorting, which he's almost done with by that point.]

[shiftingwinds]

[you know what, yeah. she'll just hop up onto one of the busted laundry machines to read.]

This is pretty good.

[holeful]

[I'd call her out for her bad taste but early bleach is the best part of bleach, so.]

Yeah? Maybe I should read it too. Thought.... it looks like there's some volumes that are missing.
[He was hoping he'd find them but... he's running out of unsorted volumes.]

[shiftingwinds]

Really? That's a shame...

[no easy way to get them, either, because if they're deliberately trying to manifest them it probably won't work... damn]

How many?

[holeful]

[Maybe if you did we'd get actual bleach. System: gamed.]

Ah, it looks like 35, and then 49 through 54.

[shiftingwinds]

Oh... that's a long while off. Maybe they'll turn up before I get there.

[she's not worried about it]
