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.

NO—

[


sorry childe shi qingxuan is very startled by that sudden shoulder pat, and is letting out a shrill scream and shoving him as far away from her as she can get. potentially far enough to topple over the side of the boat.]

[maelstroms]

[


whatever response that Ming Yi might have to Childe is lost to the sudden chaos of Qingxuan's reaction, and it seems to silence the ghosts, too ]

[toyska]

[THERE HE GOES AGAIN--

--but he grabs Shi Qingxuan reflexively as he topples back over the boat?! TIMBEEEEER]

[shiftingwinds]

[SHRIEKS AS SHE'S PULLED INTO THE WATER AND TRIES TO GRAB ONTO MING YI FOR HELP]

[maelstroms]

No -

[ ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY NOT -

Except this is the SS Yakety Sax, and the boat blips out of existence as he tries to get a grip on it, sending Ming Yi with them in a cacophony of noise and splashing. ]

[toyska]

[CIRCUS MUSIC PLAYS]

...My apologies...

[shiftingwinds]

[



ooops.]

No, that was my fault... I'm sorry...

[maelstroms]

[ There's a moment where he just sits there, staring off after their glitchy boat. Somewhere ahead there's a chorus of meows, probably, but.

The temptation to just let the water take him is real. Or to splash them both in the face for these shenanigans. ]

[toyska]

Don't worry about it! I should've expected that.

[His lapse in judgment...

He would hold out a hand to help Ming Yi stand up, but he doesn't think it's going to be taken, so he doesn't. Instead--]

Do you hear that?

[OMINOUS MEOWING.]

[shiftingwinds]

[she'd much rather deal with Ominous Meowing than deal with disembodied voices.



which is to say! she's hurrying off in the direction of the meows. byeeee.]

[maelstroms]

[ The ghostly whispers are starting up again, so, honestly, heading towards the Ominous Meowing is probably for the best.

... he sits there a beat longer, before getting up to follow, sighing heavily. ]

What now?

[toyska]

[After sqx they go...]

Now we hope it isn't coming from a ghostly cat, I suppose.

[shiftingwinds]

[from up ahead, a shocked exclamation comes:]

—it has three heads?!

[well. it's not a ghostly cat.]
