Week 1 Mingle

[probe]

POPULATION: 35

Good morning, starshines. It is another beautiful day here on the base and it’s the start of a new week!

Good thing, too. After the deaths of Tamaki Suoh and Beauregard, the tension around the base may be a bit higher than it was before. Should anyone try to contact the deceased or review their profiles, they will find that they have been deleted from everyone's phones.

Or maybe you don't care and this is life as usual. That's fine, too. With everything in working order once again, the elevator reveals that it may now visit the second floor. Perhaps it’s worth checking out these new areas, free for exploration.

While you can't contact the deceased, the Avatars are once again available via their eight symbols. Shoot them a message, have a chat with them, and see what you can learn. Perhaps you'll find it easier this week.

But...while adjusting to life here may be easier to handle, you may find other things which used to come easy have been tempered this week. Are you well-known for your swordfighting skills? Suddenly you'll find you can barely hold a blade. Do you pride yourself on your sociable personality? A crippling shyness may overwhelm you, making it difficult to speak to people at all. As the week goes on, it becomes clear that the special trait or skill you've invested so much time and energy in is no longer something that comes easily to you.

Looks like it's back to the basics.

That's the first time anybody's been this formal with me.

Do you have a preferred tea?

[He'll start looking through the leaves.]

[probe]

I will try whatever you would enjoy having. I am not picky.

[they will be helpful by pouring some hot water into two cups, though. and preparing the infuser for the leaves.]

[housewolf]

[He'll go ahead with the green tea then.]

This is usually what we'd have at home.

It's nice to meet you in person. Sorry about... um. All of the messes.

[probe]

Very well. Would you like anything with it? Sugar? Honey?

[they wave a white-gloved hand dismissively.]

Not to worry. What goes around, comes around.

[housewolf]

I like it plain. And you?

I've been trying to clean it up. [But somehow it just keeps happening?]

[probe]

Plain is fine.

[they will prepare some of the green tea for omi and themselves.]

So I have noticed. You need not worry. I am well equipped to clean it sufficiently and quickly.

[housewolf]

You've been watching us, huh?

[He'll take the cup, but he'll wait for it to cool a bit.]

I'm glad you are, but I really wish you didn't have to.

[probe]

That is kind of you, Mister Fushimi. It is something I am use to doing.

[they will lift the tea into the hood to sip.

they do not wait for it to cool down.]

[housewolf]

You don't feel heat? Or is it more like it doesn't hurt?

[probe]

Hm? Ah. It does not bother me.

[housewolf]

That's pretty useful. Especially if you do a lot of cooking.

[probe]

I do find it quite useful on occasion.

[housewolf]

How do you use it?

[probe]

Hopefully very sparingly.
