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.

[JUST GIVING HER a quiet look for a second, and then:]

I haven't seen it yet myself, but it's pretty possible with humans. Where I come from, they have the power to ruin the planet in just a few hours, if that.
shiftingwinds: (025)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-02-12 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
...but why would they do that? They have to live on the planet too. That just seems counterproductive.
touchups: (i'm not gonna hurt you yet)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-02-12 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Because it's in their nature.

[He says this very certainly, without pause.]

They're always pretty contrary, anyway.

[that really doesn't sound quite right to her, but... maybe it's just a thing where he comes from?]

I'm sorry to hear that.
touchups: (she's a rotten recipe stealing bitch)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-02-12 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well, they haven't managed to blow the whole thing up yet, so it's probably fine.

[THEIR OCEANS AND FORESTS, THOUGH...]

[mahito, the resident global warming activist]

I hope they don't manage that at all.
touchups: (in this final gasp)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-02-12 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[HONESTLY!!]

Here's to never having to find out. [A TOAST TO THE AIR and another drink from his glass, god bless.]
shiftingwinds: (068)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-02-12 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll drink to that!

[DRINKS.]
touchups: (oh dear)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-02-12 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ONCE AGAIN THEIR GAME DEVOLVES INTO PLAIN OL' DAY DRINKING.]

Want me to give you another word?
touchups: (if i am alone)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-02-12 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
How about... ah! Scorpion!

[Tapping the bottle with their dear friend inside.]
shiftingwinds: (065)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-02-12 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[she smiles and immediately launches into the tale.]

Once, I investigated a cursed pass! It was said that if a traveling party went through there, no more than half of their group would survive. It turned out that many of them were bitten by scorpion-tailed snakes and were fed to a pit of hungry ghosts.
touchups: (and we can't have you living a lie)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-02-13 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[WHAT IS THIS. He squints for a second, tapping his chin...]

...A lie? Since you're a god, you probably see a lot of weird stuff, but I bet there's some little detail in that that's a lie. Like, they're actually snake-tailed scorpions or something.
shiftingwinds: (063)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-02-13 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[brightly:]

No, it's truth!
touchups: (i'm not gonna hurt you yet)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-02-13 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[WOW.]

Wow! [Gods sure live a wild life. After taking another drink:] What was it cursed by? Why were people being fed to the ghosts? Do they eat humans where you're from?
shiftingwinds: (008)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-02-13 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[oh, he's more curious about that than she thought]

...it's a long story. Some ghosts do eat humans; some ghosts don't. These particular ones were the resentful spirits of warriors who had been massacred in a war.
touchups: (and we can't have you living a lie)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-02-13 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a funky concept to him, who doesn't have actually formerly-human-but-now-dead-human-type spirits moseying around.]

Oooh... I think I get it. What, do they eat people to sate their resentment, then?
shiftingwinds: (023)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-02-13 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Something like that, yes.
