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.

[with a laugh, she gestures at their surroundings and winks at him.]

Of course. I just happen to enjoy that room the most.

[aubins]

Hey, any new room is going to draw attention. Can't judge habits based on just that.

[ smile! ]

[shiftingwinds]

That's fair, I suppose... I have checked out the other rooms, though. I just keep finding myself back at the bar eventually.

[aubins]

It is a bit of a social hub, isn't it? Do you hear any interesting secrets or rumours going on over there?

[shiftingwinds]

Secrets? Well... they wouldn't be a secret if I told you, now would they?

[she smiles]

But it is a good place to talk to people.

[aubins]

Alcohol does tend to loosen the tongue a bit, it's true.

[shiftingwinds]

It certainly does! And you tend to feel closer to people once you've heard things about them and they've heard things about you, which is nice.

[aubins]

To a point. Still, better to know who you're stuck with than keeping yourself in the dark.

[shiftingwinds]

That's also true!

Anyway, that's why the bar is my favorite.

[aubins]

Nothing to do with all the wine kept there, I take it.

[shiftingwinds]

[she bats her eyelashes and smiles innocently.]

Oh, of course not!

[aubins]

Of course. How dare I even presume?

[shiftingwinds]

[laughing]

Yes, really. How dare you!

[aubins]

A thousand apologies.

[ he sounds like he is talking such bullshit and that's because he is. ]

[shiftingwinds]

Apologies accepted.

[she also sounds like she's talking such bullshit.]

Which of these rooms is your favorite, then?

[aubins]

Hmm.




The new one, with all the stars? That one's pretty nice. Or the kitchen.

[shiftingwinds]

Those are both great choices!

[aubins]

Still have no idea how they basically trapped the night sky in a room, but it's nice to look at regardless.

[shiftingwinds]

Magic, probably.

[it's technology you fool]

[aubins]

[ ye oldes ye fools ]

What sort though? I can't think of any spells that can do that kind of thing.

[shiftingwinds]

It could just be a sort of magic that is common to this place - there have certainly been things here that I've never seen in my own world.

[aubins]

A lot of that's been attributable to machinery though, hasn't it?

[shiftingwinds]

Well, yes - but it could be magic that powers it, couldn't it?

[aubins]

In a roundabout way. But... magic paired with machinery?

[shiftingwinds]

Well, why not? They're both useful.
