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.

[fisherwoman]

[she looks incredibly skeptical about this but it’s entirely because of the kissing swans

but she climbs in with a sigh.]

What do you think the task is?

[dotcom]

[ he looks equally as skeptical, and will be sliding in after endorsi. ]

I'm not really sure what this has to do with anything.

[ time to have a lovely boat ride ]

[touchups]

[They're about to have a really stupid start, because Mahito immediately fucking looks back after the door closes behind them despite the ominous whispering to do Not That...

And just immediately doubles over, hand flying to his chest with a startled shout. MOM WHAT'S A HEART ATTACK]

[fisherwoman]

[I truly hate this, but she turns back to see what he's looking at that apparently scared him so much - and then mirrors his motion, hand gripping the side of the boat as she leans over.]

Is... my heart caving in because I didn't come here with a handsome boy...?!

[immediately stupid]

[dotcom]

Maybe it's happening because your attitude is bad?

[ he waits a second and... nothing happens to him because he doesn't look back? so he'll carefully step over them but stare at them both. ]

What's wrong with you? Your chest hurts?

[touchups]

[WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE SINGLE BRAINCELL IN THIS BOAT.

Mahito's coughing and whacking his chest with the heel of his palm, like he thinks he's an old TV remote that you can just smack on the table a few times to get it working right again. Beyond the initial surprise, though, he seems remarkably unbothered. God.]

Yeah, yeah... It's weird! Yours doesn't?

[Why do some Takerus get all the luck...! He looks over toward Endorsi and helpfully whaps her back a couple of times. BE FREE FROM HEART FAILURE.]

[fisherwoman]

My attitude is perfect!

[no

Anyways, she’s smacking at Mahito’s hands to get him to stop—

As a hellish clown fish piranha hybrid tries to fling itself into the boat. Hm.]

[dotcom]

But why is it only aff--

[ WHERE DID THIS FISH COME FROM

he tries to kick it overboard, but then another one jumps right in? and then another. ]

[touchups]

[WELL, HE STOPS WHEN THEIR BOAT STARTS FILLING WITH ANGRY FISH. Mahito scoops one up in his hands!! He's both curious and also trying to help his boatrades, since he plans on just pitching it overboard.

But then it bites him with its little needle demon teeth, fuckin rude.]

Haha... [DON'T JUST LAUGH ABOUT IT.] This isn't normal?

[He. He sounds unsure, as if he isn't 100% certain that swan boat rides don't come with toothy fish and heart attacks.]

[fisherwoman]

[She looks towards this influx of fish which means she isn’t looking behind them anymore - and she blinks when the pain in her chest stops.

Anyways, she’s standing up so she can just. Kick them away as they come. Surely nothing will go wrong with this plan? Until one latches onto her ankle and she gives a tiny shriek of anger.]

[dotcom]

What.

[ what???

he is trying to sidestep all of these fish, and also to look overboard to try to see if they are? going through a nest or something what the fuck.

but he looks behind them as he's searching, and now sasazuka is the one slumping over while clutching his chest. ]

[touchups]

[Nevermind they don't actually have a braincell. He shakes the cliranha off his hand and attempts to whack Endorsi's anklefish onto the boat floor, then glances over toward Sasazuka.]

You too now? [REACHING OUT TO HELPFULLY WHAP HIS BACK. For like, .2 seconds, because over Sasazuka's shoulder he spies...a shiny rock, just sitting off to the side of this hell water. And is suddenly possessed by the very visceral urge to get that rock.]

Oh—! Wait a second--

[CLIMBING OVER THE BOAT AND ALL THESE FISH he's probably stepping on a bunch of them oh my god. Fish blood and guts everywhere.]

[fisherwoman]

[The anklefish is now on the floor. So is Sasazuka, maybe. This is truly hell. When she sees Mahito hopping over the side:]

Don't—

[There he go....... She tosses another fish which happens to go in his direction.]

[dotcom]

[ softly, with feeling, ]

What the fuck.

[ he is going to try to get back to his feet, looking over at manito-- huh, he's no longer in pain anymore? ]

The hell are you doing?! I'm not going after you if you fall in.

[ there's weird ass fish in there?? ]

[touchups]

[DON'T JUST THROW FISH. It hits the back of his head and bounces off like a pingpong ball, but he doesn't seem to care...

Instead, he's pointing insistently over toward the rock while climbing over the side of the boat. This is now the Enigma of Amigara Fault.]

Over there! See? Do you see it?

[Someone else come stare at the rock and get ensnared in its demon grip.]

[fisherwoman]

See what? What are you—

[...She sees the rock and also starts climbing out of the boat.]

[dotcom]

[ WHAT IS HAPPENING

sasasuka goes to try to pull endorsi back in and just

gets smacked in the face by a fish it's fine ]

[touchups]

[SASAZUKA VS FISH...

Also nothing's stopping him from diving into the water so that's what he does GOODBYE. THESE FISH ARE BITING THE SHIT OUT OF HIM BUT IT'S FINE he punches a few and seems undeterred. A few more might be flying into the boat in their losing battle against Mahito... FISH TORNADO.]

[fisherwoman]

[Good Sasazuka and attack fish. Or, rather, hello attack fish! Because there are so many of them here in the water. This was a horrible decision but also, the rock continues to beckon. She'll be back soon, maybe.]

[dotcom]

[ meanwhile, sasazuka just. lets them do that because he is going to sit back down on this boat, within the chaos of these fishes flopping all over it, as he tries very hard to figure out why he is fucking here.

he hopes you both drown. ]

[touchups]

[As if Sasazuka would be so lucky!!

Anyway he grabs hold of the rock and immediately turns in the water to face Endorsi, waving it.]

I got it! Here—! [CATCH. Also there's a fish just hanging off his arm which might fly her way too.]

[fisherwoman]

[She catches it! And then slams it against the fish's head. They both deserve to drown.]

[dotcom]

[ meanwhile, the boat floats on

but now sasazuka has spotted the rock when mahito threw it?? and he stands up. ]

Hurry up and bring it over!

[ not them. just the rock. ]

[touchups]

[Fortunately this isn't going to turn into a smeagle situation (probably) because Mahito just wants the rock in the boat in general. OVER HE SWIMS splish splash... There are so many dead fish floating in this water now.]

You know, without the fish, it wouldn't be so bad!

[HUP beware of rocking boat as he pulls himself back on board, bringing a bunch of angry fish with him.]

[fisherwoman]

[Climbing in with the rock! Her precious-- no. Anyways, now that she's back in the boat, she's just going to start smacking off all the fish that hitched a ride. Some of them might land on the boat's floor again. This is fine.]

But as it is, it's pretty annoying, right?
