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.

[ GOJOU YOU'RE AN ADULT AND A TEACHER.

He still looks at him though. ]

Yes?

[mukagen]

[ WHY AREN'T YOU GRATEFUL THAT AT THIS VERY MOMENT HE IS SHOWING AN OUNCE OF CONSIDERATION (EVEN IF UNNECESSARY). ]

Teacher, will you be doing anything to hold troublemakers accountable?

[ he is student now ]

[kokytos]

[ OKAY FINE THANKS FOR NOT ADDING ONTO A LIST OF "INSUFFERABLE WHITE-HAIRED BOYS HE HATES" ]

Oh, I'm sure there'll be something apt. Like having to live out in the mess they've made. [ YEAH... THAT'LL SHOW 'EM HOW MUCH IT SUCKS WHEN THEY DO THAT... This implies he's just going to confiscate their phones, which really does make him a teacher. ]

[mukagen]

[ i will be counting the days till gojou is on that list ]

That's it? [ HUH. ] Some adults don't mind living in their own filth, you know.

[ The Teacher Vibe is coming out of Steven. Gojou almost wishes he could replicate that vibe in a classroom. ]

[kokytos]

[ have you tried: trying ]

What do you think I'm going to do, murder someone over it. [ knock on wood ] I'd just like for all of us to cooperate in at least keeping things reasonably clean -- not the hot mess people made out of three whole rooms in their first 24 hours here.

[mukagen]

[ MURDER. WOW. ]

I was thinking more that we would make them clean up and do some community service—something similar.

[ Share some good, etc. It's like dealing with kids, but he thinks it would be funny. ]

But I guess we are all grown enough.

[kokytos]

[ Listen his sarcasm energy is so real. ]

Ah, well. I did think about suggesting that, but I wasn't sure how well people would take to a clean-up duty rotation. If only some people volunteered, then the people who cause the mess wouldn't be taking responsibility now, would they.

[ He doesn't get paid enough to corral 36 adults. ]

[mukagen]

You see, that's the problem. You're making it sound like a choice.

[ The payment is a CLEAN SPACE. ]

[kokytos]

What's to stop people from saying no? As you said, some people might not mind living in filth.

[ Some people are just HEATHENS. ]

[mukagen]

This is usually where you get creative!

[ Which isn't his job because he'll exist in whatever space given to him. He will clean up when he wants to, etc. ]

Maybe threaten them with durian!

[kokytos]

[ Oh you're such a heathen.






He could be down with that. ]

...Should I spike everything with a double shot of caffeine?

[mukagen]

[ ... Blinks slowly. ]

To turn them into jitterbugs? That's kind of evil.

[kokytos]

Not any more diabolical than spreading rotten produce all over the laundry room, or ruining instruments.

[ He sighs. ] I jest. [ IS HE? ] It'd be a counterproductive way to go about with things, wouldn't it. Might convince the culprits to act out even more.

[mukagen]

[ He stays quiet because he did fuck up the laundry room. ]

I don't think it's that counterproductive. It'll work on some and not work on others.

[ Crossing his legs wherever he's sitting, he emphasizes this part: ]

The impervious ones? Nothing you can do about them to begin with.

[kokytos]

[ Satoru Gojou you are officially named an enemy of the state.

Steven just kind of stares ahead, his soul softly leaving his body. Yeah, there's always those types that are just utterly insufferable and incorrigible no matter what. He mutters like the phrase just absent-mindedly slipped out. ]

Nobody's impervious to too much coffee... [ Why does such an absurd nonsense expression sound so much like a threat. ]

[mukagen]

[ Hey. Actually. The mess is not his fault, but he was kind of part of it. SHhhh.

Awww. Gojou can see the weariness in him. ]

I wouldn't underestimate the types of beings the vast universe—universes spawn.

[ tl: goblins everywhere. ]

You have my support, though!

[kokytos]

We all have our powers taken away, don't we? Wouldn't that also apply to any kind of unnatural physical durability?

[ Tch. He makes a slight face at Gojou's lightheartedness. He's a little suspicious -- not whether Gojou did anything, though that suspicion is already by default applied to everyone. No, he senses... are you a casual shithead? ]

Thanks. I trust in you to help keep this place from turning into a dumpster fire.

[mukagen]

I wouldn't find it weird for aliens to metabolize caffeine differently and it not being considered a superpower.

[ But that's just him. He isn't curious enough to dissect anyone he deems a weirdo here. Also, why is Steven just LOOKING at him like that? Gojou tilts his head innocently. Look at his baby blue eyes and tell him he's a shithead (he is). ]

That's a lot of responsibility, but I'll try to keep things in order.

[ as best. as he can. ]

[kokytos]

[ YOU HAVE BLUE EYES WHITE HAIR AND ARE A CREATURE? Oh my god this relationship is doomed. ]

Just don't start any big messes yourself and call out people if you see them doing it. Or, well, as long as you or others clean up after yourselves at minimum.

...You're an adult, surely you can do that much.

[mukagen]

[ Yes, and he's also a pretty boy. They're definitely doomed despite being Respectable adults. If only he didn't spell trouble even when he smiles nicely and nod.

Then he gives him a salute!! ]

As a responsible adult, you have my word. Do you have any other announcements, teacher?

[kokytos]

[ You're too close to Zapp, go to the other side of the room forever Gojou. ]

...Yeah, stop calling me teacher. I don't have those credentials.

[mukagen]

[ Hey... Isn't it a good thing to be similar? A taste of home right here. ]

I thought some roleplay would have helped the situation—bring back everyone to their school days.

[kokytos]

[ ABSOLUTELY NOT. Home is awful. ]

What, are you into that. [ Gojou. ]
It's been over a decade since I was last in any form of typical school, and I definitely wasn't in a teaching position. I wouldn't know how to play the role if I tried.

[mukagen]

[ welp. why are people assuming his kinks? first it's blindfolds... now it's this. He'll laugh it off. ]

Teacher-student is the last thing I would be into. [ Sorry?! ] You didn't need to try. I thought it was perfect considering I instinctually called you teacher. Got the vibe down pat.

[kokytos]

[ You brought the blindfold thing on yourself man. Aren't you like, perfectly capable of sight without it? What kind of weirdo runs around with a blindfold on all the time willingly. ]

Really. Well, I work in a position of leadership normally -- I suppose you had some very demanding teachers growing up if you think I remind you of them.
