7rings | WEEK 3 MINGLE

POPULATION: 27

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 Steven A Starphase, Luca Valentino, Vlad Masters and Tamotsu Fukuda, 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.

Perhaps you expect this by now, but it seems that the elevator reveals that it may now visit the fourth 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.

And even easier still, your memories have stopped leaking all over the place. Goodness. What an ordeal that was, trying to explain those nasty little parts of you you never wanted to share. But speaking of sharing...sharing your indulgence isn't necessarily a bad thing, is it? After all, your aspect hasn't been a secret to anyone since your arrival. The thing about people, however, is that even though it was simple to assign you to one little sin, there may be multiple that apply to you.

This week, not only will you find yourself compelled to indulge more heavily than usual, those lesser aspects of yours will begin to rear their ugly heads. The desire to repeatedly act on your main, secondary and even your third aspects will take hold this week in new ways you normally wouldn't even consider, encouraging you to share and indulge however you want without consequence.

Who needs inhibitions anyway?

[

she snorts at that]

You're right. We do.

[they shrug with both hands.]

There's only so much I can do. I'm afraid there's a simplicity I can't match.

It must be frustrating to watch.

...it is, yes. [which is actually the truth and not greed complaining, so.] But to your credit there have been minor improvements since the first week.

...then we'll just have to keep at it until we can turn those minor improvements into major improvements.

You are very stubborn, aren't you?

Giving up isn't going to get me anywhere.

It won't, but I have to wonder what payoff you've seen so far.

...admittedly, not much, yet...

[but if the outcome is a guaranteed nothing for not trying, then it's better to keep trying and go for the eventual payoff]

And yet you continue to try. [it's not so much of a judgment as it is a curious statement. it's sort of interesting to think about considering how often everything seems to change.]

Well... yes! If I stop trying, there's zero chance of a payoff, right? But if I keep at it, there's a possibility it'll work out.

But when do you suppose enough is enough?

It's hard to say...

[maybe when people stop fucking dying]

... [hm. for some reason they don't have words, so there's a nod.]

So long as the path you're on is one you're comfortable taking, I guess the answer is it's never enough.

...

[she pets the dogs]

I'm not sure about that... I think there's probably a point where it'll be enough, but none of us will know what that is until we hit our limit.

So long as you're aware that a limit exists...perhaps that will also help guide your attempts.

[but what the hell is a limit?]

[...they sort of just look at her curiously. fair enough.]

NO I'M CRYING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A GAGTAG BUT THEN I GOT BUSY AT WORK

[suffer.]

[im not perceiving my failed gagtag]

Only time will tell. But I think we stand a better chance of an outcome we can all accept if we all keep doing our best.

[coward.]

...I'll be interested to see if that's true.

We're all pretty stubborn, I think, so you'll be able to see it one way or another.

Do try to impress us then.

Ahaha, we'll try!
