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.

[hmmmm. THIS guy. the spade at the end of the tail flicks back and forth sharply.]

Yes. What was your first clue?

[niceguyferatu]

[ oh my god does gluttony hate him already

he opens his mouth to genuinely answer the question, but in crafting his response, he realizes that it's so obvious, gluttony had to have been sarcastic. ]

Well. [ clears throat ] Regardless. It's good to see you in person. I was beginning to wonder why we didn't get the chance to meet all the avatars face to face last week.

[probe]

Surely it would have been an overwhelming experience for most of you.

[it's fine...? they sound very polite. the tail keeps flicking, though, slowly. curling up, and down, up and down.]

We sent the most amiable to speak with you.

[niceguyferatu]

[ neither i nor vlad know how to interpret tail wagging language. he notes it, but has no idea what to actually make of it. ]

Oh come on now, don't undersell yourself. Personally, I find you much more amicable than some of the other Avatars.

[probe]

[it's fine. that's exactly how cats manage to maul people's faces.]

Oh, which ones? I will be sure to tell them about your displeasure with their demeanor.

[niceguyferatu]

Oh no, that's not necessary! Besides, who said anything about displeasure? Just because you're more amicable doesn't mean anyone is unpleasant!

[ this is a lie. wrath is extremely unpleasant. but vlad is a sleazy businessman and loves to engage in bullshit niceties. ]

[probe]

[oh. familiar maybe.]

Very well. Is there a reason for your culinary advances when so much is already available?

[niceguyferatu]

Oh! Goodness, I meant no offense! I merely did plenty of baking this weekend, more than I could ever hope to eat on my own, and figured I was better off leaving the rest for everyone else than simply throwing it away. I had no idea you'd be laying out such a feast for us.
