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.

[ come on let's go. law will dodge this bad end but it won't mean he won't suffer in the process of it. aka, vlad your INCEL. and honestly with how things have been going so far?? ]

Did you put something in that tea?

[niceguyferatu]

[ Raising a single inquisitive, challenging eyebrow. ]

Tea leaves.

[nodo]

[ law will not return that challenge and instead will scowl, but harder. ]

And anything else?

[niceguyferatu]

And some dried passionflower petals for a nice herbal touch.

[ which, the internet tells me, is an aphrodisiac.

He takes another delicate sip of tea. ]

Do you really think I'd be drinking it if it were poisoned?

[nodo]

[ boy i do not know if law should be familiar with it or not but given that it could be something distinct to earth worlds and not one piece world, i'm going to lend it for no.


boy i dislike it, but i'm saved by law being dubious regardless. ]

No, but I'd believe that you could have put something in it that's safe for you but harmful to others.

[ he's not normally this sus but!! vlad your INCEL. ]

[niceguyferatu]

[ placing a hand on his far-too-exposed chest, offended ]

Like what? What on earth could that possibly be? Do you think I'm not human, that I'm some kind of immortal alien? I'd have thought by now, you'd certainly know otherwise.

[ because you have definitely seen vlad's very naked, very human dick. ]

[nodo]

[ i.

when? actually no it's fine. law is blind and so am i. ]

It's been a week. You could be some sort of in-between of those combinations. [ and law is going to give vlad a look up and down his person. HE ISN'T CHECKING HIM OUT I SWEAR TO GOD. he's sizing him up. ] Or you're playing some sort of different game.

I'm not sure which one it is.

[niceguyferatu]

Has it occurred to you that the game I'm playing is just enjoying a nice cup of tea?

[nodo]

[ no? yes?? ]

Not in a place like this.

[ and dressed like that? ]

...why do you smell like baked goods?

[niceguyferatu]

Hmm? Oh, because I prepared those plates of desserts in the kitchen. Baking can be very...stress relieving, after all, and I certainly wasn't going to be able to eat all of it myself.

[ did you by any chance have some already, law??? ]

[nodo]

[ he.

doesn't like sweets. or bread. ]

I see. That's considerate of you. Hope others found it enjoyable to try it themselves.

[niceguyferatu]

[ personally, he just hopes that kaz had some and was disappointed by them ]

Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. I wasn't particularly looking to feed people, but, well, the opportunity presented itself.

[nodo]

[ god i hope that and so many other things happen in-between. ]

Meaning?

[niceguyferatu]

Just as I said! I made all that food not for consumption, but to relieve my stress. I could have thrown the food out...or I could leave it out for others to have. To me, the outcome doesn't matter, because I'd already completed my goal.

[nodo]

[ ...... ]

Was your goal to show off?

[niceguyferatu]

If it was, don't you think I would've signed my name on the note I placed by the food?

[nodo]

I didn't see anything that showed that it was signed by you.

[niceguyferatu]

My point exactly. Hence, no showing off. That wasn't my plan at all.

[nodo]

[ what if i could read for this entire thread... ]

And your plan was just to share your desserts with everyone?

[niceguyferatu]

As I said, I had no plan, per se, other than to bake as an outlet to relieve stress. Unfortunately, baking produces food, more of it than I can eat alone, and leaving it out for others seemed a little less wasteful than simply throwing it all out.

[ his tone starts to get a little snippy because he feels like this is the 3rd time he's explaining this now, it's REALLY NOT THAT HARD, LAW ]

[nodo]

[ LOOK MAN. it's either having him talk about the baked goods, tea, or having to deal with the fact that vlad has lost his sense (or actual) virginity. (also i prob had a point i lost.)

not that he knows...yet...? never. may he never know. ]

Right, right. In any case, congratulations on successful bake show; maybe you should offer them as gifts the next time. Might be able to count as an indulgence somehow.

[ maybe? don't ask him. he's trying to get away from this... free me from this circular conversation. ]

[niceguyferatu]

I'm sure I'll find a way to count it as such, if I need to.
