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!

iii probably in their room
Miss Medb, you know, if you're upset about the room assignments, I'm sure we could find someone willing to swap rooms.
[You know, another girl, so things aren't weird.]
no subject
[ Call her by her proper title, Fukuda. She isn't apologetic at all for hitting him and doesn't spare a glance at the vibrating begg. ]
no subject
[It was a small projectile it's fine.]
I just was thinking wouldn't you rather have a female roommate? For your modesty's sake. I don't want to make you uncomfortable.
no subject
When she's wearing her Arianna Grande outfit and not looking the least bit discomfited by it. ]
More than another roommate, I want the room to myself.
no subject
Aah... well, I imagine that would be harder to accomplish. One of the other rooms already has three people...
no subject
[ What does that have to do with her? ]
There are couches out there.
no subject
Ah... I suppose there are... Is that what you want me to do?
[His shoulders sag, and his already naturally sad face just seems more pitiful... not that this will have any affect on Medb.]
no subject
Yeah, his despair does nothing to make her feel guilty. Sometimes, she likes causing sadness in other people? Terrible. ]
I want to test something else, too. Place your phone down and exit the room.
no subject
But without my phone, I won't be able to get back into the room.
[He may be a pushover but he's not stupid.]
no subject
[ She says this like she doesn't expect it to be problem. ]
no subject
... Perhaps you could have someone else help you with your test.
[And before she can try something else to get him to comply, he's going to just hurry on out the door. Bye!!!]
