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.

Lose...lose what?

[housewolf]

Somethin' you're good at.

[niceguyferatu]

[ blinking in confusion ]

Why would I lose something I'm good at?

[housewolf]

Seems like it's goin' around this week.

[niceguyferatu]

Really now? How strange. I certainly haven't lost or forgotten anything.

[ me, yelling thru my cupped hands from afar: EXCEPT FOR HIS VIRGINITY ]

What have you lost, then?

[housewolf]

My fucking ability to cook.

Also I swear now.

[niceguyferatu]

And...how does swearing tie into losing certain skills?

Did you forget your sense of modesty?

[housewolf]

My sense of politeness.

[niceguyferatu]

Ah. Well, I do suppose politeness is a skill too...of a sort.

[housewolf]

It's a learned and practiced skill.

[niceguyferatu]

How impressive! And...repressive.

[housewolf]

I have little brothers. Can't say this shit around 'em.

[niceguyferatu]

Really now? My, how noble of you. You must be a very caring big brother.

I myself am an only child, I never even had to consider such things.

[housewolf]

I love those guys.

You don't seem like the type to curse anyway.

[niceguyferatu]

No, no, I try not to. It'd be a bad image for someone like me to be so vulgar...and I'm something of an uncle myself, so I suppose I do censor myself for the young ones too.

[housewolf]

... Uncle? Thought you said you didn't have siblings?

[niceguyferatu]

No, no, of course not. But I do have some old college classmates that I'm...close with, and I'm something of a role model to their kids.

Unfortunately, I never did have a chance to start a family myself, so I think of them as my own. It helps with the sort of stress and loneliness that comes with being one of the world's most successful businessmen.

[ HINT. HINT. ]

[housewolf]

I'm glad you have people in your life.

Are you feeling... stressed now?
