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.

I don't usually care to wait for fortune to find me.

[ Medb doesn't do anything. Instead, the tiny penguin who is usually attached to her arm seems to be interested in the way the light hits their feathers and launches himself at Despair. ]

[probe]

[why this. why is this currently their life.

the penguin can land on the wing easily enough, but it seems a little difficult to hold onto? each feather is made of a smooth, crystalline material. it might end up slipping.]

-must we provide you with a leash.

[fergalicious]

[ She holds out her hand for the penguin to drop onto when it slides off. ]

I'll take a leash.

[ No hesitation. ]

[probe]

[they produce a leash from a small, shadowy void that seems to appear from nowhere, then after a moment's thought, they also remove a penguin-sized collar.]

I believe this should suffice.

[fergalicious]

[ She takes it gladly. ]

Thank you.♡

[ The penguin is back to clinging to her arm. ]

Is there a limit to what you can give us?

[probe]

I would not say I often find myself limited in scope, no. The limitations exist in what I am personally willing to give any of you.

[fergalicious]

Is that the same for all eight of you, or are you that special?

[probe]

I may be. I expect you would get differing answers if you asked the others, however.

[fergalicious]

I did overhear that they... had some trouble describing you in particular.

[ At leas she thinks it was Despair. ]

[probe]

Knowing them, it is hardly surprising they had trouble describing anything properly.

[fergalicious]

[ She bursts into giggles. ]

You don't care for them much, do you?

[probe]

[dryly:]

We all must work with each other, regardless of our own opinions.

[fergalicious]

Must you? You sound as if you'd rather watch paint dry than speak of the benefits of teamwork.

[probe]

It is a part of our work as Avatars, so yes. It must be done, but there is no requirement to enjoy it.

[fergalicious]

Oh? So you're tied by some rules, huh?

[probe]

I do have some personal sense of duty as well.

[fergalicious]

[ She puts a hand to her mouth as if terribly shocked. It's terribly insincere. ]

How dutiful. Not very indulgent.

[probe]

I would not say so. Being surrounded by all of you does contribute to my own sin, after all.

[they say this so flatly.]

[fergalicious]

[ She doesn't know if she wants to be offended or laugh. It's 50/50.

She settles for a mean girl smile. ]

I'm sure some are happier to help in that way than others.

[probe]

Oh, very much so.

[they exhale a tired sigh.]

There have certainly been worse than this.

[so she's, you know, acceptable. not the penguin, though.]
