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!

[ Time to text Tamaki, lesgo. ]
Oh, maybe we can send him a picture, too.
[ is. the phone. capable of that? ]
no subject
[ she squints. there's a camera app on this thing? she jabs at the phone. ] Oh, shit. I think that was it.
[ it's the most low pixel thing ever, but it's now showing them peering down at the camera. ]
no subject
[ He didn't mess with Tamaki that much, but he gets it. He saw how his expression changes like a soap opera series.
Squinting. That's the camera? What did he expect from that kind of phone. ]
All right. This camera can't capture us at our best, but we should strike a pose, anyway.
Maybe with the stress balls.
[ HAHA. ]
no subject
she nods when he says they should pose, and then - cracks up at the idea of posing with the balls. she snatches them up off the ground and hands him one. ]
Yeah, yeah, let's do it. [ she puts hers on her forehead? like a third eye nipple, I guess. ]
no subject
Hmmm. ]
What are you going to write to him?
[ or will the boobs be enough for him to fluster. ]
no subject
I don't know, he seems like the sort of dude that might go bright red if he sees a boob.
no subject
He'll be in trouble when he touches a boob for the very first time, especially since women usually have two.
