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.

Well, not many people have powers where I come from, so all of them are considered spooky by regular people.

[ Spooky! ]

[femmefinale]

So using magic might be considered spooky?

[mukagen]

I guess for your case, it would be like... If someone used a type of magic you've never seen before?

Spooky.

[femmefinale]

... Ah, so it's like that. I do think I can understand why people might be concerned.

[ Of course, that type of magic had been... Not Great. ]

[mukagen]

Exactly!

[ He's glad that they are able to both understand each other. ]

Why did you fight a god, anyway? Were they misbehaving?

[femmefinale]

No, nothing like that. It was more of a challenge than anything.

[ Gods Misbehaving Badly, though. Totally a thing. ]

[mukagen]

Like a trial. That's still really cool—something straight out of [ wants to say manga or videogame ] a story.

Did you win?

[femmefinale]

[ Bless him for automatically recognizing she would not know what tf a manga or videogame is ]

We did. Though it was certainly arduous.

[mukagen]

[ He is learning people are not modern. Points for Gojou Satoru! ]

It must have felt great, though. Congratulations.

[ A small applause. ]

[femmefinale]

[ She bows her head in acknowledgment. ]

Is it your turn, then?

[mukagen]

[ hmmmmm. Okay. It is his turn. ]

I've fought someone with a volcano for a head?

[femmefinale]

... What sort of head?

[ Human head? Spooky people head? ]

[mukagen]

He has a volcano on top of his head! [ Makes the shape for her. ] Sometimes, it would erupt when he's super mad.

[ Gojou is talking about this like it's super funny, but... Lava is dangerous? ]

[femmefinale]

[ Lava is dangerous. And so-- ]

Wasn't that dangerous?

[mukagen]

Definitely! But I was stronger than him, so it worked out.

[ No worries! ]

... For other people, it'd definitely be bad. Like human BBQ.

[femmefinale]

... I'm not certain what BBQ is, but I can imagine the injuries, if not the outright death.

[ Good thing he's so strong?? ]

[mukagen]

Grilled meat! Sometimes it's marinated, or it comes with sauces.

[ but since they're on BBQ. ]

So you've never had BBQ before...

[femmefinale]

I haven't, no. I've had grilled meat before, but I've never heard of that name. Is it the sauce it's marinated in?

[mukagen]

[ .......... That moment when barbecue means so many things. ]

Barbecue can mean a couple of things, one of them is the sauce it's in. I was thinking more of the cooking method, but... You're probably more curious about the sauce. American barbecue tends to be sweet and savory.

[ Also, messy. ]

Whenever you're free, we can have some barbecue! It's good to have new experiences if there's an opportunity.

[femmefinale]

Yes, I agree.

... Thank you, then. [ And she smiles, a little more warmly. ] I'd like that.
