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.

[ grace walks out seemingly confident pride will? follow? this is happening ]
no subject
... so they just follow after, quietly.]
no subject
Okay, so, while we're walking-- let's dish. What's the thing you've enjoyed most in this place so far? You can't have just been bored or tormented by alarms the past two weeks.

[ she says that but does not make any move to leave pride alone so like ]
no subject
You guessed it.
no subject
[ is she preening because she got a sniff of amusement? maybe. anyway here they are at
the arcadethe rec room, and grace will lead the way to the fighting games ]You said you didn't get the controls, right? So have you tried before?
no subject
Lust has tried to force me to play once or twice. [they say, idly. and then they lift their claw hands to show grace. these are not good for controllers.]
no subject
no subject
they stand in front of the arcade machine and stare at it like they've never seen anything like it. uh. what... do...]
no subject
The stick controls how you move, and the buttons are attacks. Just pick whatever character you want and start mashing buttons.
no subject
but they will try, they guess. they pick whatever the equivalent of this game's king from tekken is. they will slap the buttons!!]
no subject
Yeah! Like that! And it doesn't even matter how hard you mash it, it's meant to be hit hard!
no subject
Hmph.
no subject
Wanna go again...? You can play against people too, not just the computer.
no subject
they'll play a game or two against grace, if she's offering - and will likely lose. they suck at this.]
