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.

[ thank u kindly, you terrifying jingleman. ]

Yeah, that's right. A little weird, all the bits and pieces they have listed on those profiles, isn't it?

[commedia]

Weird? Not quite "weird", I should say, but some of it does seem strangely worded. More or less, that card listing information about myself is correct. They know a lot about us, these Avatars of ours.

[aubins]

"Weird" as in, just how did they find out all these information about us in the first place? Unless we had to fill them in ourselves and just don't remember.

Mine's accurate too. Which adds to it all.

[commedia]

I have heard of incredibly powers of clairvoyance that allow the discerning of information, even that which is considered secret. Perhaps one of the Avatars has something such as that? I personally do not think I would have answered what is on that profile, myself...

[aubins]

Not even if it was a requirement for coming here? Normally I'd agree, but given the circumstances...

[commedia]

I would have answered if it was part and parcel of coming here...but...mmm. Not those answers.

For one, I would have never given out my True Name.

[aubins]

[ hm. ]

... So they have some way of knowing things about us we're not saying, or they were monitoring us before we got the offer to come here in the first place.

Neither option is especially good.

[commedia]

Of course not. They hold more power over us with their gathering of information. They essentially have the upper hand. Of course we can hope that they would not use it against us, but...

[aubins]

Buuuut when is that ever guaranteed. Still, they're here too and they're interacting with us. It's not quite the same, but that gives us a chance to find out a bit more about them and even the scales a little.

[ a very small consolation, but a consolation nonetheless. ]

[commedia]

Ahaha. I see, I see.

[And a sip of their tea.]

One needs to be subtle about such things, you know. I certainly will be.

[aubins]

[ yuri just leans back and crosses one leg over the other. ]

Oh, I'm aware. Some of them are genuinely interesting, so I can't say it'll be a chore to dig deeper. But if they know all about us, then we should be aiming to know about all of them too.

[commedia]

I have plans for meeting with some of them already.

[douman: going to seduce EVERY SINGLE NPC - no]

Have you met with your own, yet?

[aubins]

I've met with a couple, including my "team leader", so to speak.

[ yuri and douman, finger snapping on their way to flirt with or seduce the npcs respectively. ]

[commedia]

Ah, and which one is your leader, again? Mine is Envy. They're quite...well, to choose a word, excitable? Its adorable.

[NO I DON'T WANT TO PLAY NPC BANGO]

[aubins]

Wrath. They're.... well, they fit their name. But in a good way.

[ YOU'RE PLAYING THE FUCK CLOWN, CRYSTAL. ]

[commedia]

[SHUT UP]

Wrath? I see, I see! Our local arsonist. Are they as temperamental as they seem to be?

[aubins]

[ i look forward to seeing his npc ships ]

I think it depends on the topic of conversation. They have things they get more heated about than others?

[commedia]

Eh? What things are those?

[aubins]

If you keep assuming all they know about is weapons or using them, they get annoyed.

[commedia]

Huh. Is that a mistake you made?

[aubins]

They gave me a foam training sword, so I asked them about weapons.

[ sue him ]
