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.

You heard him, Fido. You're going the wrong way.
[ shoos him back toward mineo? surely that will work? ]
no subject
[hE JUST GOT BLASTED IN THE FACE WITH ICE
mineo will just. try to whistle to get the cerberus' attention back over to him, patting his lap to try to herd the dog back to him....]
Cerby, c'mere boy!
I think we might need to put Cerby through some training before we get him to come with us? Like - uh, heel and stuff? Maybe we can teach him other things too....
no subject
I'll be fine.
[ the driest tone known to man who has relinquished the hold on his sword. he didn't really want it anyway. rather, it's not worth being sneezed in the face again with some ice. so here we are. there is a three headed puppy that has a wooden sword in one of of its mouths.
but hey! the dog will totally float towards mineo now that he has a new toy and law is now using his sleeve to wipe his face clean of melting ice as well as warming it up. ]
Do you know of tricks that involve him not sneezing at people's faces?
no subject
[ over there, away from law and meg. ]
no subject
[but mineo will grin and UNFORTUNATELY GO ALONG WITH THIS EASILY WHY AREN'T THEY HELPING TRAIN THE PUPPY but that's a question that i, dana, oocly have
mineo is going along with this easily enough because he's totally cool with the idea of just playing with a dog for their task!!]
C'mere, Cerby! Let's teach you some tricks, yeah? Let me borrow that - [and he'll gently tug the wooden sword away from the puppy's mouth. one of them. and then go to yeet it a fair distance away] Goooo fetch!!
[but also - ]
Actually, do you check up on animals, Law-san?
[does law know anything about.... puppy colds.....]
no subject
but there goes the dog and law has cleaned himself off from the horrible nightmare that was being ice sneezed on. sometimes it's nice to shove your head into a freezer...but that's rarely. ]
I could take a look. I don't think he's the same as a mink or a fisherman but he isn't a normal dog either.
[ he'd need a stethoscope but maybe the dog can be really obviously wheezy?? ]
no subject
Of course he isn't normal. He's a monster. Why do you think Hades chose him, because he actually has a heart of gold and wanted a cute, cuddly pet to show it?
[ you're just bitter, meg. ]
Let's just get this over with so we can leave already.
no subject
[MINK? FISHERMAN? mineo turns to them for this conversation and does not notice that cerby has successfully been able to catch the thrown wooden sword! he is trying to listen for puppy steps
he does not notice the puppy is floating]
Aw, well maybe taking the puppy to the vet is part of our tasks! [the puppy is floating FASTER] Ace Veterinarian Law-san, on the caAAAAAH?!!
[the puppy sneezed right before impacting with mineo so he's icy AND off-balance]
no subject
A mink and a fisherman. [ he's just going to answer mineo as he makes his way towards the puppy with a hand out. his demeanor different from just moments ago. ] For minks you could think of them like a humanoid animal—polar bear, cat, dog—and then fisherman and mermaids are often categorized together.
[ this explains so much but hewwo puppi. law will give him exactly one pet on each head. ]
Seems ridiculous to care whether it's allergies or a respiratory infection.
[ you know, given how sneezy the dog has been but he presses his head against its chest since he lacks a stethoscope which??? ??? ???? before checking the many eyes..... ]
no subject
There wasn't anything about that on the parchment.
[ but she's not stopping this? boys will be boys and all. ]
So, what's up, Doc?
no subject
so yeah, he's collapsing on the ground, shivering.]
C-C-C-Cold...
[just gonna try to shake the ice out of his hair.... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]
Is Cerby gonna be okay....?!
no subject
His eyes are clean and with no wheezing, there's a lack of a cough, and given how playful he is, I'd guess that he's just allergic to something.
[ he'll rub the puppi on the heads and test out something which only results it happy puppy wags and barks that do not sound like coughs. nice strong sounding barks. ]
But that'd just be my best guess. I wouldn't know for certain without more testing.
no subject
[ because they're in the underworld... where everyone is dead.
anyway she'll go over to lean over mineo. some of her hair probably gets in his face, but that's fine. ]
You sure you'll be alright there, hero?
no subject
Oh - uh, y-yeah, Meg-san! No worries.....
Um, but if Cerby's fine then I can go ahead and keep trying to teach him some tricks so he'll come with us. I figure we just need to wear him out a little before he'll come along.
no subject
[ wouldn't that be funny? law finds it funny to think that the dog could be allergic to them because they're alive. ]
But that's fine. [ in terms of teaching the puppy more tricks so he will follow them back to wherever it is that they need to go. law will absentmindedly be rubbing at the nose of one of the head's as he speaks before he nyooms back to mineo once he's standing up again. ] I'll keep an eye out for any warning signs if they do pop up.
[ aaand plob goes the
swordstick right on mineo's shoes(?) fetch??? ]no subject
Oh, look, he fetched. [ she says as if she actually cares. at least she's good at pretending! ] Now if you teach him to heel, maybe he'll go where we need him to.
