7rings | WEEK ZERO: INTRO MINGLE

POPULATION: 37

There's the soft, chiming ding of an elevator as you slowly grow conscious. You remember the sound of a voice whispering in your ear, and then a very gentle, easy darkness as you fell asleep.

Then the elevator jolts, and you promptly ram into some of the thirty or so other people also waking up from their nap. Time to trample people on your way out! Be careful not to rip your flattering outfit with light up furry ears of an animal of your choice. On this elevator there are a total of 10 buttons and they're all lit up! But they don't work. A shame. The elevator doesn't go anywhere else.

In any case, once you exit the elevator, you'll find that you have a decently wide area to explore. There doesn't seem to be any sort of exit to the outside world, but that's okay. You didn't want to leave without what you came for, right? Besides, it's wonderful here: the temperature is perfect, every surface is as soft as clouds, and the atmosphere is so, so inviting. The base itself is low-lit in fluorescent neon colors which shift and pulse over time, and there's a soft, reassuring humming sound under your feet. It would be comforting if you didn't feel like you were being watched every time you walk along the hallways.

But hey, don't worry about that! Maybe you should be more concerned with the phone in your pocket! The phones have a few functions, as well as a low pixel camera. Pictures are in black and white, so no brightly colored selfies for you. Oh, and while you're taking those selfies, you might notice the symbol of your Avatar tattooed and glowing faintly on the back of your hand. Hope you're fine with impromptu body mods.

Eventually during your wandering, you'll find your room with roommates included! On the floor of your room, there is a big gift box with your name on it. Upon opening it, you will be absolutely obliterated with glittery confetti. But once you manage to get past that, the gift box contains the following:

✦ your item from home
✦ a pair of boxer-briefs labeled "ball hammock"
✦ a stress ball that looks suspiciously like a boob
✦ a rainbow bath bomb
✦ a Polaroid camera with 10 instant film
✦ a frozen steak in a vacuum-sealed pouch
✦ a blue and pink dual flashlight; one end has a normal white bulb, and one end has a blacklight bulb
✦ a tiny crown

Welcome to your new home. Take some time to look around, talk to your fellow indulgers. All of you can see each other's symbols on the back of your hands - maybe it'll strike up a conversation. After all, there's no better way to get to know each other than talking about your sins on the first date!

I'm not carrying you out of here if you pass out.

[ but go wild. ]

There won't be any need for that. I can drink most men under the table.

[tee hee]

Oh.

Okay that I want to see. Excluding myself from the running, of course. [ drink some of these 6 foot plus assholes under the table, sqx. ]

Hang around here [the bar, that is] often enough and I'm sure you'll see it sooner or later.

[ he lifts his glass for her to cheersies with. ]

Sounds like a plan to me.

[cheersies!! clink clink go the glasses.]

Here's to hoping I won't disappoint you.

[ clink clink ya damn drunks ]

I have high hopes, don't forget that. [ me, chanting: DRINKING GAMES, DRINKING GAMES. ]

In that case, I'll be sure to give you a good show.

[maybe she'll drink like three of them under the table at once, that would be funny.]

[ please that'd be amazing we really need a drinking game immediately. ]

I'll try to temper my expectations, just so I'll be more than pleasantly surprised when you wipe the floor with all of us. Less pressure to perform that way too, hm?

Oh, I've never had trouble performing.

[(closes my eyes)]

But that's very thoughtful of you.

Oh? That's very impressive of you.

[ i believe in you britt. ]

I try.

I'm an impressive person.

[a shameless one, too, apparently!]

But it seems like you are, too, to get me to agree to something like this so easily.

I don't doubt that at all.

[ shameless meets shameless. ]

Like I wouldn't do it for the joy of seeing you drink half the people here under a table.

It really won't be that hard.

[she's pretty sure she's got more centuries of drinking experience than most people here?]

But I hope you'll be entertained.

[ yeah, he's not even gonna try. you know when you get a Feeling? he's got that Feeling. ]

I'm sure I will be.

I'll be looking forward to entertaining you.

[though she'll hold off on it for a bit on account of the cheese, you heathens. catch her on the monday mingle.]
