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.

Ahahaha! It was a jest, just a jest. Though now I am curious as to what sort of food you enjoy, Qingxuan.

[shiftingwinds]

I'm not too picky about food, really - but I'm particularly fond of foods that pair well with a good rice wine.

[commedia]

Rice wine...hmm. I'm trying to recall the taste of that...but I can't. Oh, well.

[:(]

I suppose its good.

[shiftingwinds]

I saw some at the bar, if you'd like to refresh your memory!

[commedia]

You think so? But ah...I don't want to leave Akimitsu-dono behind...

[shiftingwinds]

I could go grab some and bring it over, instead!

[commedia]

Well, then. I wouldn't say no to that!

[shiftingwinds]

[goes to fetch the wine!


and comes back with a jug of that and also three little bowl-like cups. one for each of them, including akimitsu.]

[commedia]

[SQX you are so kind.]

[Douman makes room on the table for the wine, gesturing for the other to sit.]

Haha, I'm glad you thought of Akimitsu-dono, too. He'd be happy, I think.

[shiftingwinds]

[once she's seated, she'll pour wine for each of them]

I hope it's to his liking! And to yours, too.

[commedia]

I think it would be. We just have to imagine that it is.

[And a raise of the glass.]

Situations like these require a toast, yes? To new friendships, then. Kanpai!

[shiftingwinds]

[does sqx know what kanpai means? no. can she figure it out from context? yes!]

Kanpai!

[DRINKS. it's like 9 am.]

[commedia]

[GETTING DRUNK IN THE MORNING BAAAAABY]

[And just going for it.]

Ah. That's rather good!

[shiftingwinds]

[the sheer number of bonus indulgence threads of sqx daydrinking that i would have if we weren't told to use mingle threads sparingly for the reports is unreal]

Oh, so you like it? You have good taste!

[commedia]

Thank you! Thank you kindly, mm, it just...reminds me that such things like this aren't ones I'm used to.

[britt i'm crying. anyways Douman just lets out a huff.]

A Servant doesn't typically eat or drink, after all.

[shiftingwinds]

Oh - you don't...?

[huh.]

There's no need for you to...?

[commedia]

No. Heroic Spirits don't truly gain sustenance from them. Until now, I suppose.

[shiftingwinds]

...I suppose it's to put us all on the same level. It'd make it easier if your indulgences need you to do anything with food or drink, too.

[commedia]

You might be right. But it...its a strange feeling, you know.

[And their mouth turns down, ever so slightly.]

Its not like Heroic Spirits can become human, again. But like this...its almost...nostalgic? Mmm, perhaps not the word.

[shiftingwinds]

[nostalgic, huh...]

Well, if nostalgic is somewhat close to what you mean, I think that's a good place to start while you think about it, even if it's hard to describe exactly how it feels.

[commedia]

...

[There's a moment of silence, at that.]

One wonders. Can a shadow of human order really be considered human?

[shiftingwinds]

...well... if they're living and breathing, and they have thoughts and feelings... they're human enough, don't you think?

[commedia]

[A laugh.]

Is that what makes someone human, Qingxuan?

[shiftingwinds]

I think that's an important part of it. There are other creatures that fit that description, I suppose, but...

[commedia]

...

[And a rueful smile.]

This person can no longer be human, anymore. Regardless of things like this- ah. But I'm sorry. I do not mean to bring us to such sad discussions. We are here to drink, yes?
