WEEK 2 MINGLE

[probe]

POPULATION: 32

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 Grell Sutcliff, Kaz Kaan, and HK-47, 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.

Then again...last weekend was a bit of a mess, wasn't it? Perhaps you would prefer to leave it all behind you. Lucky for you, the elevator reveals that it may now visit the third floor. It may be worth checking out these new areas, free for exploration. If you're feeling incredibly ambitious, you can also take a more in-depth look.

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.

On the bright side, all of your skills are in working order once again. Cherish your gifts, little sinners. You would hate to lose them again wouldn't you? But even if you did, you would still have your memories of them. Memories are important, aren't they? Things meant to remind you, and things to motivate you. Your most tragic, painful and even downright embarrassing memories shape who you are as a person, and this week you'll find that others will be witness to these as well. This may occur when you're in close proximity to someone, or it may be when you brush past them. Even the slightest eye contact may set off this sharing of memories, and your deepest secrets will be harder to keep.

Hide all you'd like. You can't outrun your past.

[HOW SHORT IS PRIDE?]

... Well I don't have it on me? But anyway, obviously I'd need someone else to hold you down.
[See he's not just a crazed drillman he has a PLAN.]

[probe]

[like an entire foot shorter than fukuda, about.]

You would not make it close enough.

[holeful]

[Incredible. Fukuda looks down at them for a long moment. They did seem to just sort of appear out of nowhere. They can probably do the same in reverse.]

... You wouldn't be Pride without something to take pride in. That means you have something to lose. That's where you and I are different.

[probe]

You make a lot of assumptions, don't you? Does that ever work out for you?

[holeful]

If I'm wrong, you can say so. But I don't think I am.

[He actually is bluffing. He has no idea. He just thinks this is a cool thing to say.]

[probe]

You're wrong.

[flatly.]

[holeful]

[His shoulders sink.]








What if I just politely asked you to stop?
[The order of all this is backwards.]

[probe]

Stop what?

[holeful]

Killing Envy? Stabbing them in general.

[probe]

[they just turn around and stare at fukuda in a way that really just implies they think he has lost his mind. he can't see them under the hood but that energy is definitely there, just absolute bafflement.]

[holeful]

[I mean he has very visible brain damage so that's a reasonable thought to think.]

Even if I'm not on their list, Envy is my friend. I don't like it when they're hurt. So I want you to stop.
[As if that's the reason Pride is confused. His motive, not his methods.]

[probe]

Make me.

[holeful]

[He just looks down at them for a long moment.

And then just. Tries to move to pick them up under their arms like a naughty cat?]

[probe]

[well, you see, they don't like that. they go stiff.

all at once, fukuda feels extreme, concentrated agony, as well as a debilitating migraine. both will last for five minutes.

when he recovers, pride is gone.]
