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.

[ she obediently comes over to stand by lenore. good thing aoi is patient! ]
... Boop boop... Think anyone will notice the broken stuff?
no subject
I wouldn't worry. I'm sure this will all simply vanish once we've completed the trial.
no subject
It's not real.
[ was that a question or a statement... ]
no subject
[the sounds of agitated huffing and snorting grow quieter... and the sound of passive sniffing begins.]
[and soon, the bull starts to poke its snout out of its hiding space, looking around cautiously as it considers the offered fruit.]
It's working. Remember, no staring. He needs to get used to our presence, to understand that he's still safe while we're nearby.
no subject
[ like their surroundings!
aoi is pretty bad at not looking at it, but she's staying nice and still... ]
What happens when it's used to us? How do we catch it? Does feeding it count as catching it?
no subject
[the bull has decided that the fruit is worth the risk, and chomps down on it!]
We have nothing to ensnare him with, and there's nothing here that appears to be a clear goal...
Perhaps if we calmly lead him through the shop's exit with us, we'll have succeeded?
no subject
[ aoi takes the second fruit and sets it down a ways between the bull and the exit. then the third fruit much closer to the exit. just follow the trail, lil' friend!! ]
Maybe we can get behind him when he eats the last fruit and scare him out the door. Like a stealth mission.
no subject
[the bull has now found its way to the second fruit, seemingly less wary this time!]
no subject
[ but it would be funny if he spit slime on people outside the door... well, he's probably part of the simulation so it wouldn't really work anyway. aoi goes back to pick up the last fruit and then stands in front of the doorway holding it out! ]
You're smart.
no subject
[the bull finishes chomping down the second fruit, and starts walking towards the two of them.
lenore reaches a hand out to pet it. it sniffs and pushes past her hand, trying to get closer to aoi. most importantly, it isn’t freaking out or spitting slime.]
Looks like he’s ready. Let’s go.
no subject
she backs up towards the exit, more because of that nervousness than because it's the plan.
...... luckily, that makes it very easy for the bull to follow her! ]
