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.

[...wait, only the rice wine? so this wasn't just an "everyone has to stop drinking" thing...]

...hold on, hold on. The gin is fine? What about the other types?

[niceguyferatu]

Do you care to find out?

[ He pulls out some other bottles--vodka, tequila, whiskey, fuckin...beer, i guess? and a bunch of shotglasses. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[she glances to the left and to the right to make sure no one who's going to yell at her for drinking is nearby]

Sure.

[niceguyferatu]

[ Vlad is an enabler and he does not give a shit.

He pours a shot of each of the drinks. They at least look normal, so that rules out hot sauce for sure. But the only way to tell for sure is to give it a...shot.

(badum-tsh)

He gestures to them all, allowing Shi to take her pick. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[well!

there's no hot sauce in the vodka, which she takes a shot of. ahh, that's nice.



wait that's not so nice because it means whoever did this deliberately targeted her favorite.

hm she'll just drink for now.]

[niceguyferatu]

[ And he'll take a shot of gin, holding the glass up in a 'cheers' motion before downing it. ]

More?

[shiftingwinds]

[she waits a moment... and barely seems to notice that she's even had a shot. hah! her tolerance is back!

so she beams.]

Yes, please!

[niceguyferatu]

[ and so, Vlad will pour her (dj khaled voice) another one.

He is a terrible enabler. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[she drinks. gladly.]

Aaah, that's better. It's not quite the same as a good rice wine, but that'll do.

[niceguyferatu]

Ah. Someone must have specifically been targeting your tastes, then.

[ another one. ]

That seems a little cruel, given the Sunday you had.

[shiftingwinds]

I'm sure it's all being done out of concern [since she showed up to that execution hungover af] but... still!

If not for whatever was making us lose our skills last week, I'd have been perfectly fine when I walked in there!

[niceguyferatu]

[ squints in confusion ]

Wasn't your lost skill something to do with your tolerance for alcohol?

[shiftingwinds]

Exactly! If I hadn't lost that, I wouldn't have been hungover yesterday, and there would have been less reason for them to worry. There's no need to cut me off from drinking now that I have my tolerance back!

[niceguyferatu]

Ah, I see now.

Well, if nothing else, I'd say today should be a, what do the kids call it? A "cheat day." Call it a celebration of being alive.

[shiftingwinds]

[helps herself to another shot]

I'll drink to that!

[niceguyferatu]

[ Holds up one of his shotglasses in a little cheers to that bro! ]

As will I.

[shiftingwinds]

[DRINKS.

it's only monday it's fine nothing bad is going to happen today.]
