7rings | WEEK 2 MINGLE

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.

Oh, so you just think Envy specifically is annoying enough to stab?

[ Steven can't even call him out on this, he'd stab Zapp any day... ]

Yes.

[thanks for getting what they meant, steven.]

[ He shrugs! He does. It pays off to be a sarcastic shitlord of a boss. ]

It's not like I can judge you for that. Your interpersonal matters are yours.

Must be nice, though, having second chances and resurrections.

[they glance off to the side.]

... Mm. I would prefer to not be brought back like this.

[ His eyes flicker, as he looks at Pride. Assessing. ]

Sick of playing this role you've got?

I have been sick of it since the start.

I can't wholly agree, but then again, the goal in my life is something I'm willing to die for, but I have to be careful when I can only die once.

[ Hm. ]

Are you satisfied enough with your life that you could leave it all behind one of these days?

[they move to sit on one of the pews. or, perch, rather.]

No. And I don't care to talk about it with you. [not in public anyway!]

Fair enough. Silly me for asking such a loaded question.

Always been immortal, then, you and your lot? Or was it something you gained?

[dryly:] Typically these are second date questions.

[ ...He smiles. ]

My bad, then. My dating experience is pretty shallow, I'd say, but if you're open to a second date then so am I.

Impress me on this one first and we'll see.

Pretty difficult bar, I'm not even in your indulgence.

Do I get a bone here, or should I just keep the chatter going and see what hits.

I don't care if you're aligned to Pride or not. It doesn't matter.

[they shrug.] Not allowed to leave in case any of you need something.

[so go for it, they guess. chatter it is.]

It was a jest, really.

You guys just take turns swapping around mingling with us, then -- is that it? Since I see a different one of you hanging around publicly every week so far.

Mm. Someone should be down here making sure that you don't somehow destroy the base beyond repair.

I wouldn't do that. We're supposed to be stuck here until God knows when, I'd rather not be living in a pigsty.

You are not who I'm talking about, then.

Great, because I'd rather not be. You'd think people could afford to think about their surroundings a little bit better.

It isn't their home, so they don't care.

But this isn't your home either, right? [ Is it...? ]

No. I'll be damned if I settle here.

Hah, similarly. But then it seems you're stuck here as much as the rest of us.

How are you going to get out?

That depends on you. Unfortunately.

Really...

So that's your actual motivation for helping us. [ Or so, Lust phrased it that way. ]
