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.

MINI-EVENT ONE

[probe]

MINI-EVENT: ORPHEUS

On Wednesday morning, a soft chime rings from everyone’s phones with an unread notification. The phone will continue to ring its alarm until the notification is opened, and after a moment, a message appears.

Good morning, everyone. If you would please gather yourselves together in the Simulations Room, there is a task at hand for you to complete.

Naturally, you’re free to leave them on read. A response isn’t necessary, nor should you feel inclined to take them up on their offer. But for those of you who may find yourselves wondering, the Simulations Room appears to be lit up and running.

Entering the room, participants will find themselves stepping into a shallow river of water. The gaping maw of a dark cave looms ahead, and a line of kissing swan rowboats await. Each boat can fit up to three people, and Gluttony will wave a white-gloved hand to invite people aboard.

Welcome! As you can see, there is no hope here, so you should abandon any inclination of it from this point forward. If you will, three at a time, please. But be warned: to obtain what is most important, you must cast off any notion of autonomy and do what is asked.

As your boat begins to drift into the dark tunnel, several lights flicker on, illuminating your path, and a voice echoes from somewhere behind you:

"Don’t look back…"

★★★

Hello and welcome to our first mini-event! Participating in this event is 100% optional, but please remember that only those who participate will receive special prizes!

In order to give everyone a chance to participate and to help streamline assignments, we ask that you guys split yourselves into groups of three (and one group of two.) The Discord server will also have a mini-event coordination channel to help you find partners and organize yourselves! ICly, it’s first-come first-serve, but you are free to pick your partners yourselves.

Once you have your group, please reply to the sub-toplevel below this announcement. Mods will distribute information about your journey, your goal and potential consequences, but mod tags will not be given at this time! Instead, players will need to submit threads of 30 or more comments in order to be eligible for prizes. Threads may be submitted to this submission post here and you will have until Friday at 3pm EST/12pm PST/8pm GMT/9am NZST/5am JST to submit your threads.

Safe travels, everyone.

Douman, Omi, Primrose

[housewolf]

[Wonder what's waiting for them down this river.]

That's an ominous start.

[And they're in for a harrowing ride.]

[femmefinale]

To accompany the ominous tunnel, I'd presume.

[ Primrose settles in-- and then almost immediately makes a noise, lifting her leg because that is a leech on it. ]

endorsi, takeru, mahito

[touchups]

[Haha! That's a funky start to this ride, but surely nothing will go wrong. Mahito clambers into the boat without hesitation, he is ready to go to hell.]

Ah! I've heard of these things before, but I've never been on one.

[THIS WILL BE A TERRIBLE FIRST IMPRESSION.]

dwunk twink, dwunk weeb, dwunk miwlf

[toesies]

[Sheila shimmies onto the boat (after waving bye-bye to their creepy tour guide), and then




she immediately almost falls overboard.]

Whoa!

[Catching herself! Luckily. One hand grips the side of the boat while her face contorts, wide eyed and blinking rapidly.]

Have not felt like that in a while. Jesus.

[This ride is off to great start. Are the boys good?]

no tiddy committee (also molly is here)

[headmt]

[look there’s a lot going on right now, but I assume everyone has gotten into the boat at this point and we are just lazy rivering it with these two needy spirits and—]

Sorry, I’m going to need you to repeat those names for me. [ Uwudicye and . . . Owopheus? ] Not sure I understood how you’re making that sound with your mouth.

[says the guy who speaks infernal?]

team cursed af

[nodo]

[ you know what's terrible? everything. no, really, everything. because wow! finding out that they have to shovel coal into the engine for the boat to even move forward was kind of awful to begin with but not insufferable....then there was another bonus that is less than thrilling. forget commentary of not knowing what a tunnel of love is even supposed to be about. ]

There has to be an alternative.

[ because THE MUSIC. music? is this really music... noise. it's definitely noise. ]

childe, ming yi, and shi qingxuan

[shiftingwinds]

[haha, what the heck is this?

sqx isn't going to tell gluttony to take a hike, so onto the boats they go. she seems a little mollified by the fact that ming yi and childe are here, too, but she's looking at the tunnel with some apprehension as they flat through the doors.

don't look back, huh.

now that she's been told not to, she has to try really, really hard not to look back.]

...ahaha...

[nervouslaughter.mp3]

will and grace and graveyard - i mean white, grace, gu yun

[liuli]

[ well, it's not exactly a great kite, but a boat where all the lights are vaguely purple doesn't feel horribly out of place? gu yun's sitting comfortably in one of the seats, eyes forward, keeping alert, even if he seems very lazily settled. ]

Casting off a notion of autonomy, huh. Nothing like a boat that floats on its own to really drive that point home - I hope no one gets seasick.

[ especially you white

i mean. there's a faint splashing sound behind them. i'm sure it's fine. ]

let’s go lesbians let’s go

[fergalicious]

[ this boat ride is going to be so romantic.

Medb isn’t going to notice anything important first because sometimes ladies are beautiful and you’re a little gay. She didn’t flinch at being a scalie; she’s not going to flinch at being a furry. Unfortunate. ]

They need to pick better mood music if they want us to abandon all hope.

[ the unidentifiable monster is just interior decorating. ]

SINGLE-SYLLABLE SANDWICH SQUAD

[bachelorbored]

[kaz is here, anyway. in the boat. it's fine, he guesses.

well. except there's an ominous pop sound.]

Huh?

[and the boat starts filling up with water.]

Ah! Hey, you two people! We're sinking!

[kokytos]

[ I hope you're both ready for some weird horror shit to happen -- of course all of it couldn't be that easy. Still, it didn't have to be like this, did it.

Steven's looking down at the """water""" and making a face. ]

Don't need to check that to know what it is. [ The smell is overpowering. Are those bones??? That's not ominous at all. ]

Team Lusty Bois

[notaccurate]

[Why did they get tentacles???

Oh well. The two of them can sit on this boat and Luca won't be looking back. Instead he's going to go straight to flirting with the person he's sharing a boat with.]

You know, I don't think we've spoken before, which is a shame.
