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.

[someone save molly

at least now white gets off of endorsi, swiftly rising to his feet.]

That's—that's not my fault! Geez!

[fortunately white always has his sword on him, even if it probably dropped when their outfits change, so uh. he pauses, before darting back to where they started to go and grab it from the ground.]

You're the one who tackled me!

[she's standing up as soon as white moves, watching the lion pose dramatically in the sun with the bolt gun. slowly:]

There's no way it can use that, right... [anyways.] Ugh, it's going to be way faster than us if we run after it, so what's the plan?

[okay, fine, he will be bossy then - pointing to either side of the thing. The crossbow gleams in the lion's tail.]

Flank it! One on either side! At least that way you arseholes are far away from each other.

[for all of his attitude, white is still a henchman at heart, so he doesn't hesitate to follow molly's orders as he dashes to one side of the lion, sword in hand.]

Try not to die!

[she follows those instructions, too, and for the purposes of this thread I'm saying she has her needle with her. she's charging towards the lion, moving so she's coming at it from the opposite side. although, as she runs:]

You know we're in the simulation room, right?

Can we actually die in here-- No! I don't want to know! Don't answer that.

[Anyway good job gang, so glad this plan worked out because it does, in fact, herd the super fast, steel-skinned lion in between them all

directly towards molly who isn't so much armed as like holding the sword equivalent of a sock em bopper which in a flash the lion sassily reaches out one paw and knocks clean out of his hand - whiffing one of them of them off to the corner of the room]

Are you serious?

Shut up!

[that's to endorsi. well, simulation or not, it's hard to instinctively go "molly can just perish, then", so when he sees it go after him, he lunges forward. unfortunately, slashing at it doesn't do much! his sword is rather sturdy, considering what it's actually made of, but trying to cut into steel-like skin is... not that effective...]

Shit! What the hell?

[there's a split second of thought, before—]

Hey, heads up!

[considering she's behind the creature and molly is right in front of it - she imagines he'll need it more, and she tosses her weapon to him. only the tip is sharp, and it's light, so she's hoping it won't be an issue to catch (and that it'll be more helpful than what he's currently holding).]

[Oop! He does, in fact, catch it - his dex is pretty damn high - and without much hesitation, he spins it round and pokes the sharp end right into one of the lion's eyes. Not so steel-skinned there, bitch!]

Hah! How's that for Curse of the Eyeless, bastard!

[It roars in anger and retreats backwards - starting to zip away but now blinded on one side, but, it whips its tail in anger and the crossbow . . . some mechanism on it starts to spin up]

Oh, shi--

W-What's happening!? Should we run?

[he's just

going to try and slash at its tail, not because he expects to do any damage—but the force of metal-like against metal-like at least causes the lion to let go of the crossbow and, uh. send it flying upwards into the air. as it's doing whatever it's doing. this is probably safe.]

—We should run!

[away from this incredibly concerning crossbow if nothing else. she's following her own advice and backing up pretty quickly, away from the lion! but. it doesn't look like flying up into the air has stopped the mechanism from being triggered.]

Both of you, be careful—

[it explodes, spectacularly? But it's high in the air, it's just like. a cool firework. Both Molly and the Lion are just fascinated by this?]

Oh. So that's what happens? Huh. Doesn't look worth 2000 gold to me.

[white also takes a moment to watch?]

... Yeah, if that thing cost you money, I think it was a rip-off.

[she's also watching! but as she does:]

I can't believe you could have picked something useful...

[Anyway, while everyone is watching the show, he just takes the needle and jams it into the lion's gaping mouth. It sassily passes away. Seems the outside was tough but the inside, not so much. RIP in hell.]

. . . So, I think I win the bet?

[kill stealer . . . . . . . ]

[white snaps back to reality, before he scowls.]

—What? Hey! No fair!

—I gave you that weapon! I get honorary first place!

[absolutely not a thing]

Perfectly fair, and that is absolutely not a thing! I am today's champion, your god, your master of arms, long may I reign.

[Posing with the needle over one shoulder, holding out a hand.]

Pay the fuck up.

The hell I am! No!

[She looks over at White for a moment, thinking.]

...Hey. Truce for a few minutes for a common cause? I want my needle back.

[dangerous]

Sore losers, the both of you.

[Huff. Fine. Retracting the hand, and shoving the Needle back at Endorsi. Then just slinging his arms over both Endorsi and White's shoulders.]

You two should keep the outfits, by the way. They're cute.

[the bisexual energies]

[...

he leans his head back behind molly's to look at endorsi, before he just

tries to kick molly's legs out from under him

molly already gave the needle back but it's fine]

[as white does that she also shoves at molly's shoulders so he's even more off balance at the same time

teamwork!]

I don't remember saying you earned the right to touch me!

[yeah he's right on his ass with an oof but also just cackling his head off

so glad theyve bonded over just making mollymauk eat shit instead of fighting each other]

Oi! You can both go fuck yourselves.

[said, so, so happily.]

[he just flips molly off, grinning]
