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.

[Phrasing??]

Ah, no, I couldn't put you out like that, miss Aoi.
[That's just solving one problem by creating another.]

[gamerbrain]

[ don't worry about it! ]

It's fine. Aoi is already feeling spoiled, here.

[holeful]

[He shakes his head. He then hesitates a moment, before saying something he really wouldn't say usually, but in the spirit of indulgence...]

If you'll greet me every morning like this, I don't think I mind sleeping out here.

[gamerbrain]

Being woken up in the morning is more of a childhood friends trope, and Aoi isn't that archetype.

[ ... ]

But Aoi is willing to make an exception.

[holeful]

[Fukuda wonders whether Aoi would make that exception for anyone, but decides not to ask.]

What archetype are you, then? Or is it cheating to ask?

[gamerbrain]

[ huh. it's actually kind of hard for her to figure out her own archetype? that's strange. ]

... Aoi goes at her own pace.

[holeful]

[Well hey, it's fine probably??]

That's good, isn't it? It means you're more flexible.
[Better able to adapt to genre swaps.]

[gamerbrain]

Mm. Aoi gets recreated for every new game.

This time Aoi is a little bit of the helpless type.

[holeful]

I see... the sort of character that makes the player want to protect you, right?

[He does rather feel that way, at least.]

[gamerbrain]

Guess so.

[ doesn't seem like she usually gives her own tropes that much thought, even though she's aware of the tropes around her. ]

[holeful]

[Man, he really feels like he should at least sit up, but Aoi is so warm.]

Can you tell what sort of archetypes other people are after you've talked to them a bit?

[gamerbrain]

[ her body is her true selling point, after all. ]

... Not without the full script.

[holeful]

[STOP HE'S JUST LONELY]

Are you usually able to look at the full script of your game?

[gamerbrain]

Yep. It's on my phone.

[holeful]

So there's no script on your phone right now?

[gamerbrain]

No, Aoi still has the old game. Before it got patched to this.

[holeful]

[Patched, huh.]

Do you think that patch is the reason you can't save the game anymore?

[gamerbrain]

Probably. The new phones don't even have a place to input phone numbers.

[holeful]

I suppose they figured they already gave you all the contacts you need here?

[No contact with the outside world.]

[gamerbrain]

But they took away God.

[holeful]

[Well this is a new tier of strange even for Aoi.]

... What?
[He actually sits up now because he has to make sure he isn't falling back asleep and hearing things.]

[gamerbrain]

Aoi usually saves the game by calling God.

[holeful]

[He.... honestly doesn't know what to say to that.]

... I see. What does God sound like?
[He doesn't know what the right thing to say is so he will just... ask that.]

[gamerbrain]

She sounds... Normal?

[ she doesn't know what else to say. ]

[holeful]

[God is a woman...]

... Do you talk to her about anything else?
