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.

Shit.

[taking that drink, then!]

All right, my turn. Hm... White's my birth name, I used to have two horns, and sunlight and I don't get along.

[...damn, with his hair she can't tell if it looks like there's a damaged horn on the other side of his head.

but, she's also met endorsi, who only has one horn, so...]

The two horns thing is a lie?

[he lifts his bangs to reveal the scar where his other horn used to be.]

Got shot off a while back. Who the hell names their kid "White"?

Oh, no!

[that looks like it must have hurt... she'll drink, though, since she was wrong.]

You'd be surprised. The characters that make up my name are both colors.

[so. there's that! let's see, what next... oh, actually.]

One of the characters in my name means black, one of the characters in my name means gold, and one of the characters in my name means blue-green.

Hey, this is unfair!

[he doesn't know fantasy chinese]

... Is black the lie?

No, that's the truth. Gold is the lie.

Ugh...

[another drink! hm. thinking of these without, like, dropping stuff too heavy for a game is hard.]

I used to sell balloons, I never went to school, and I had a pet dog...?

[yeah i know i ran into that problem too OTL ]

The... balloon thing is a lie?

Nah. Never had any dogs, no plans on it either.

You don't like dogs...?

[well! time to drink again!]

Hmm... my brother is also a god, my best friend is a ghost, and I ascended to godhood by pouring wine on a miscreant to knock him out.

... You can ascend to godhood? Anyway, I'm really hoping that last one is true, so is the best friend one a lie?

You got it right! My best friend is a god!

Geez, there's a lot of you.

You think three is a lot?

There's only about three gods in total where I'm from, and the way you're talking makes it sound like there's even more of you, so yeah.

I guess the places we come from are rather different, then - there are many more gods in the heavens than the ones I've mentioned, where I come from.

What do you even need all those gods for?

Well, there are a lot of people in the world - if it was just a few, they'd get overwhelmed! With this man, we each oversee different things, so we're able to answer prayers more quickly.

That's a thing where you're from? Answering prayers?

Of course.

And you actually do it...? People expect to be heard and all that?

Well, yes! The more worshippers you have, the more powerful you become - but why would people worship you if you never answer their prayers?

Seems kind of un-godlike to only help people 'cause they make you stronger.

That's not the only reason! ...well, I guess it might be for some gods.

[some gods suck. most gods suck, actually. there's a handful that don't.]

Ascending to godhood is an honor. You're meant to work hard, but you also benefit from it when mortals acknowledge your hard work - it's mutually beneficial.

Sounds like a pain, to be honest.
