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.

Ah, there are a great deal many factors that play a role in a tea's quality. Taste, aroma, processing...a truly refined palate can distinguish different factors in each, and, accordingly, sense when those factors are lacking.

[ he says this like he has one of these refined palates but honestly in a blind taste test he wouldn't be able to tell garbo tea from the best tea in the world. ]

[gamerbrain]

Sounds fancy... But it's outside of Aoi's character type to know that kind of thing. Aoi isn't really an ojou-sama kind of girl.

[niceguyferatu]

[ he has no idea what an ojou-sama is. ]

Ah, but it's never too late to learn!

[gamerbrain]

It's better not to change archetypes once you've already set player expectations.

... But Aoi can still enjoy good tea.

[niceguyferatu]

...right. Well. That's an honorable choice too, I suppose.

I'm sure every archetype out there can at least enjoy some good tea.

[gamerbrain]

[ she nods! ]

... Aoi can't figure out your character archetype.

[ it seemed one way, but this week...? hm?? ]

[niceguyferatu]

Really now? Why not?

[gamerbrain]

It seems like it's changing.

[niceguyferatu]

Oh?

[gamerbrain]

You're more confident, now.

But maybe that's just because the game has progressed more.

[niceguyferatu]

More confident? Really? Hmm, well, I haven't noticed a change, but even so, I can't say it's a negative.

You must have quite the keen eye, Miss...Aoi, was it?

[gamerbrain]

[ she nods. ]

Yep. Aoi is usually good at figuring out character types.

It might just be that the writers hit their stride. Sometimes it takes a while.

[niceguyferatu]

Ah...a perceptive young woman, then. [ He nods, like literally anything she says makes sense. ] So you think I'm hitting my stride now?

[gamerbrain]

Yep. What do you think about Aoi?

You keep complimenting Aoi's taste. Are you trying to raise Aoi's affection points?

[niceguyferatu]

Am I?

[ yes. ]

[gamerbrain]

[ she's dense as fuck ]

Are you?
