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.

[ 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.

[mukagen]

[ Comfort blindfold in the not kinky way. ]

Extremely strict and straitlaced. It's all about rules where I'm from—it's almost suffocating.

[kokytos]

[ Maybe if it wasn't black and looked less bondage you'd get less callouts. ]

Ah, bureaucracy. Nobody is free from laws and regulations no matter where they come from, huh. [ Where's anarchyworld? ] Wouldn't that make you dislike someone like me first?

[mukagen]

I don't know if I dislike you.

[ So far, he thinks Steven is amusing. He doesn't sense the things he dislikes about the elders in jujutsu society in him. ]

Are you scared of change?

[kokytos]

[ What an odd question. Gojou is a curious young adult and Steven's trying to get a better read on what kind of person he is. ]

Change... well, even if I said I were, I don't think I could avoid it. [ Shrug! ] But there's nothing wrong with making changes for the better, right?

[mukagen]

You're right. There's nothing wrong with making changes for the better.

[ Gojou is a curious little thing. Overall, he likes Steven's nonchalant answer. ]

Yet so many are stuck in their old ways, coveting their position more than the well-being of the younger generation. They don't care if others suffer.

[kokytos]

Progressive. But even if people try to cling to their old ways, the world's not going to stop and wait for them to catch up.

It's all fun and games and conservative ignorance until the ones they neglected start to bite back, don't you think?

[mukagen]

They're going to bite back.

[ Inevitable. There's no escape. ]

Would you bite back, too?

[kokytos]

I know when to just bow my head and bark on command, too.

But I've never been one much to be happy being ordered around by authority figures I don't care for.

[mukagen]

[ Hmmmm. ]

Then we're a little different, but I don't dislike you.

[kokytos]

If it's for the sake of a wanted end, I'd say I'm pretty flexible. [ He really will do whatever it takes... sometimes. ]

I take it that you're the openly rebellious sort -- if you don't like something, I'm sure you'd make it clear right away.

[mukagen]

[ He laughs!! That's good to here. Steven has his head screwed on right. ]

I follow the rules for the most part, but I do what I think is best for my students.

[ Which means he will twist and go against orders for them. ]

[kokytos]

Oh, students? [ HUH. Wait a minute, so YOU'RE a teacher. Wow you are a weird one. ]

So you're the type who does things for others. [ You care........ ]

[mukagen]

[ IS HE REALLY THAT WEIRD. No, you're right. He doesn't have the personality for it. ]

Did you have a different impression of me?

[kokytos]

[ Well, you know, personality, and then your whole entire get-up that suggests cosplayer (I ALMOST WROTE COPSLAYER??), or weird workout coach, or... some other list of random, decidedly non-teaching jobs. ]

Based on your attire, I'd thought some kind of athletic hobbyist, or something. Though I don't know what to make of the blindfold.

[mukagen]

[ WOW... Weird workout coach isn't too wrong. ]

The private school I work for is so strict that faculty have a uniform.

[ He isn't going to detail why the blindfold. It exists. Deal with it. ]

It is comfy, though.

[kokytos]

This is your uniform?

[ He looks Gojou up and down, head to toe. If he's judgmental about it, you can't tell at all. ]

It does look comfy, I'll give you that. Private school, though. Nice, I guess.

[mukagen]

Yeah. The buttons on my uniform is kind of like ID showing you belong to the society.

[ Even if, in my honest ooc opinion, the outfits look funny. ]

The campus is really nice! It's in the Tokyo suburbs near the mountains.

[kokytos]

Oh, I see. [ Like a little pin, or for example, a band. ]

The suburbs -- I'm a little surprised, I'd imagine most places are raring to place their schools in the heart of the city. It sounds nice, though -- I'd like to get a break from the city every now and then.

What do you mean by "society"? I'd thought this was a school.

[mukagen]

[ Let him emphasize this again: ]

A private school.

[ And what does that usually mean? Kids from rich families—high society. ]

[kokytos]

...You don't look [ or act like ] like any private school teacher that the kind of high society people I know would accept. Nor, no offense, do you yourself come off that way.

What subject do you teach? General? ...Sports?

[ Since most people with children have their children attend normal people schools. ]

[mukagen]

I don’t need to act a certain way as long as I’m born into a noble family. They can’t ignore my skill, either.

[ Does rich pretty boy fit the image? There are more respectable faculty than him for sure. ]

General, on top of jujutsu.
