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!

[sheepishly. no arrests will be made on this mingle.]
Did you at least get something that looks nice? These thing are permanent, right?
no subject
[The force? Sir.]
God, I wish. [She lifts her hand up to show him the... tongue monster. It's fine.] I'm gonna be so fucking pissed if I have to look at this for the rest of my life. What kind of monster marks someone up and doesn't even make it look pretty?
no subject
[like MURDER???? or not,,
but wow that's. that's a tattoo. he can't really hide his own little nose wrinkle]
Oh... Maybe they can reimburse you to get it removed later. That's definitely, a uh... look. Mine's kinda ugly too though.
[so they're in the same boat? misery loves company??]
no subject
I would take a dying plant over whatever the hell this is. At least all that one would do is make me feel shitty about my gardening.
[This is truly the biggest of their problems right now. (It is not the biggest of their problems right now.)]
Do you really think they would reimburse any of us? Because that seems like exactly the type of thing you would not want to pay for.
no subject
[
wait
WAIT]
... maybe we should've done that before we said yes.
no subject
Well, we're fucked. No wonder there's no manager for us to speak with.
no subject
Dammit... All these people here - we agreed to be here, but what the hell's gonna happen next?
[THE ELEVATOR KILLS SOMEONE?]
no subject
[The elevator will kill a clown.]
no subject
[WHOA THAT CURSE SURPRISED HIM]
Y-Yeah... It's a pretty surprising situation. Are you doing okay?
[she doesn't seem stressed but also no one would blame her if she was]
no subject
Me? Yeah, I'm fine. I mean, the mouth is a surprise, but I did agree to be here. [So! Shrugs! She will wring some NPC necks later.] What about you?
