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!

Okay, this means you have to watch one now.

[ it doesn't even need to be korean. ]

Sure! Where would I do that?

I saw a room with a TV if you want to try some shows out. [ He should probably make... Some comparison. ] It's like watching plays except in a box.

[ let him order them a stupid amount of snacks to nibble on. now they're set. ]

[plays in a box... sqx finds herself nodding along.]

I'd love to try it. Lead the way!

[ He leads the way! And... There are obviously no super k-drama-y movies in the cabinet, so he just has to pick something based on the premise. Point is, they get to enjoy DRAMA with some junk food. There's ROMANCE. CHEATING. A LITTLE SEX. MORE CHEATING. FAMILY CONFLICT. DEATH. POLITICAL INTRIGUE. TRAGIC BACKSTORIES. ]

Wow!

[ yeah. that's it from him. ]

...

[honestly? she's watching this all play out with rapt attention, idly snacking from time to time.]

They do like to make their own problems, don't they?

[personal profile] mukagen 2021-02-08 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
It's like reality, isn't it? Emotions are beautiful and dangerous, so problems are inevitable.

[ Munch munch munch. ]

Except cranked up to 100 for entertainment.

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-02-08 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Watching it all is certainly one way to pass the time.

["cranked up to 100" is a good description.]

This is definitely something new. Thanks for showing me.

[personal profile] mukagen 2021-02-08 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
No problem! If you ever want to watch something, I'll accept any invitation.

[ because what is there to do except go through the whole movie cabinet, to be honest. ]

And I won't bring anything wasabi-flavored like that ice cream.

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-02-08 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You know what, I think I'll take you up on that. This has been fun.

[it's a date!]

I'll bring something that lives you fewer conflicted feelings than that candy.
mukagen: (pic#14603430)

[personal profile] mukagen 2021-02-08 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you can still bring the candy. It was sweet.

[ he fucked himself up thinking sugar will help him think and developed a sweet tooth. ]
shiftingwinds: (064)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-02-08 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if you're sure!

[enjoy your durian candy, then!]
