WEEK 0 MINGLE
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.

[WHY...THE OLD TECHNIQUES ARE JUST FINE]
That part is hardly new, though. Exorcising evil spirits were a part of an omyouji's duties, though some were far better at it than others, mm. I, personally, used the tamer spirits more often for my own duties than simply banishing them. They have their uses.

[ OLD TECHNIQUES HAVE NO PLACE HERE, BOOMER. ]
Do you mean shikigami? Since that's what you were known for.
no subject
Well, spirits are spirits and can exist in the natural world. But shikigamis are always created. My shikigami were quite powerful, its true. Aah. It's a pity I can't use them here...
no subject
So you mean actual spirits. I knew someone who could control spirits weaker than him, too. It's pretty rare.
[ Hmmmm. ]
One part of me would like to see your shikigami, but another part of me isn't sure what you would do with your power.
no subject
[Basically, a puppet of a corpse, usually possessed by a spirit. But sadly, no examples of that, here.]
Do with my-? [And then a bark of a laugh, fangs showing.] Ahahaha! Ahaha. Ah, do not worry your pretty white head of yours. I harmed many people in my past. I also helped many people in my past. But as I am, a Servant, I am bound to my Master's will. What I care or do no care for hardly plays a role.
no subject
... You know, laughing like that usually doesn't reassure people.
[ Gojou doesn't seem worried though. It kind of feels like he's talking to someone familiar? The Servant-Master thing is stuck in his head, but he'll ask later. ]
I'm guessing your Master isn't here?
no subject
Ahahaha! Oh, oh. Yes. I'm sorry. My apologies! Its simply habit, yes.
[And a shake of the head.]
No, she is. I met her several days ago. She's a powerful woman, indeed.
no subject
So you're taking this like a vacation. Enjoying yourself.
[ Confirming. ]
no subject
[A tilt of the head, still smiling.]
A Servant's work is still work. Though it would be a downright lie to say I wasn't having some entertainment while I'm here.
no subject
[ Also, he gets to chill with someone from the Heian period that isn't Sukuna trapped in his student's body. Very cool, very cool. ]
What kind of entertainment are you talking about? The sights? Or the strange bunch we have here?
[ Gojou would be lying if he said everyone here is... regular. Anyway, he is yappy. ]
no subject
[A polite nod.]
A bit of everything, honestly? Everyone here, from different worlds, different paths, all here to indulge themselves in a strange place. Its all amusing.
no subject
[ Very interesting people. Gojou would like to get to know some, but especially get to know Douman. ]
Have you checked out the new rooms? There's one that can project a setting of your choice—like virtual reality.
no subject
Yes, I have. What a miraculous room! One shudders to think of the amount of power that could go into such a place...have you been there yourself?
no subject
[ But he comes closer to whisper into their ear. ]
Do you want to sneak in?
no subject
[Oh. Douman blinks, surprised by the offer, before leaning back and whispering.]
Why not, but...is there something you want to show me?
no subject
[ That's funny when this figure is etched in Jujutsu history alongside Seimei, Sukuna, and the three vengeful spirits. Very funny thought. ]
I was thinking more you can show me something, but I can run a simulation of my world if you want. We can stroll through Tokyo and check out some popular haunts.
[ Like... Actual haunted areas. ]
no subject
[And just trails off. Honestly, Douman is far more interested in this Tokyo haunted place business. Even though haunts are TERRIBLE(?) places to have dates.]
The modern era...yes, yes. So many things have changed, haven't they? I would like to see the state of affairs...to see what is preserved, or not. Its an offer I would like to take? Mm, I still need to think of what I would should you.
no subject
State of affairs, huh. [ Hmm. ] You can think about it while we stroll around the campus, then.
[ Let's go, gramps. Gojou gestures for them to follow him to the room. Pspspsps. ]
