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 suppose so... it's just a lot to take in. After all, sins aren't usually things that are encouraged in the usual world.

I'm just a little afraid of slipping too far into this, I suppose. It would actually... go against my desires if something like that were to happen.

[probe]

...ah, all of you are like this in some way, aren't you.

[they shake their head slightly.]

A part of this is learning how far you are willing to go. How much you will push your limits, and whether you will break them. I suppose it remains to be seen if you will be able to manage it.

[kokytos]

So is this all, in a sense, a test of will?

[ He smiles at Despair. They'd just met, but he's a little less reserved here than with others -- an "as the gods will" attitude leaking into his posture. ]

Is all this meant to make us worse people, or stronger in the end...

[probe]

You could think of it as something of the sort, yes.

[they nod, sounding faintly amused.]

What it makes you is up to your own interpretation.

[kokytos]

I see... well, thank you for answering my questions.

[ He puts his hands in his pockets, looking up at the simulacrum of stars around them. Then he nods and turns, deciding to leave for now. ]

Then I suppose I'll be leaving you to your favoured solitude. Hope we can chat again sometime.

You may call on me if you have need of me.

[they give him a nod in turn, at that, but that's the extent of their goodbye. sorry about them.]
