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.

If you could win a war without armies, you'd barely have a war at all. They'd last about a month and achieve even less than the ones we already have do.

[alteracion]

So what's this war for anyway?

[aubins]

What is war ever for? A wild idea, given radical form, and everyone else scrambles to protect themselves or fight back against that radical change, and everyone gets dragged along for the ride one way or another.

[alteracion]

So you don't like it, but you're still defending forcing people to participate?

[aubins]

They have other options. But they do what they feel is best -- military pays a steady wage. Sometimes that's enough.

[alteracion]

Didn't you say they start as kids, though?

[aubins]

Academy students are... what, 16? At their youngest. Couple of my classmates were older.

[alteracion]

I guess that's not as bad.

[ she's eighteen she can't say shit on 16 being too young ]

Helps if you can fight from an early age, sure. But academies are like the regular schools that nobles go to... in terms of age of admission. Regular academies have less swords, I would imagine.
