7rings | WEEK 0 MINGLE

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.

There's no keyhole though.

[he gets the sense they are giving him a flat look, in the shadow of their hood.]

It is a metaphor, Leclerc, do try to keep up.

I’m talking literally. Otherwise I’d have got it open. You’re not using some weird, dangerous ritual magic to keep things shut, are you?

[ terrible idea if so. ]

Have you considered that we simply hold more knowledge, or perhaps more talent? We are Avatars.

And at the same time, one of you has said those are just fancy little titles you picked because Overlords got vetoed.

[ ... ] I'm asking because I'm curious. If the normal ways of locking or unlocking a door don't work, then isn't natural to wonder about the hows of it?

We would be what we are, regardless of the name chosen for us. The fact remains that, as overseers of a sort, we do hold more power than the lot of you.

[they wave one hand, lazily.]

You may wonder, but I doubt you will receive a direct answer.

Well, you already have that by way of just... being more in control of this situation that we are. [ wow despair how come mom lets you have MORE powers. ]

I can always hope. Either way, if the doors hadn't been locked we might be up one more spatula, so that's unfortunate.

I very much doubt having the doors open would have prevented any level of theft or property damage, having seen the way the lot of you behave.

Maybe not to the spatula specifically.

If you are implying you require another, you could simply ask.

No... Maybe I'm apologising for bending one trying to get the door open. [ even if he wasn't the one who bent it. what a good boy. ]

And have you learned anything about attempting to break into locked areas in the future?

Bring something more study than a kitchen spatula.

[ yeah??

YEAH??? ]

Or you could simply stop attempting to break everything.

Well you're pretty insistent on not sharing the secrets of how your doors lock, so...

[ spatulas are gonna suffer. ]

They are not secrets you would be able to learn.

Writing me off fairly prematurely there, aren't you?

It is not 'writing you off' to state a simple fact.

Maybe I'm up for the challenge of trying?

Try all you like, but consider yourself warned that it is simply an impossibility for those who are not Avatars to do the same.

Warning noted. But not being able to do something, maybe, doesn't stop the curiosity.

There is a marked difference between mere curiosity and walking repeatedly into a wall, Leclerc.

[ a shrug. ]

If you'd just said "it's a magic spell", or "a secret key only my hands can hold" rather than a vague "you just can't", I'd have put down the sledgehammer and stopped whaling on the wall a while ago.

"You cannot" should have sufficed for an answer, were you not intent upon being difficult.

[their feathers ruffle, chiming as they do.]

[ pssh. although... chiming feathers? huh. ]

I like knowing things.
