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!

[shi qingxuan thinks about the heavens, and about how most of the people she meets in the mortal realm are dudes, and comes to the conclusion that it's not really that weird for him to not see many women.]
Does Gu-xiong drink much?

You're more handsome than I expected of a soldier, but it takes all kinds for an army, I suppose.

[ he does only stop this gremlin chinhandsing to finish off his glass, and then fetch out his little phone. if he does any struggling navigating through it, it is very subtly done under the bar, because when he pulls it back up, it's already on the profile page. ]
Let's see. Shi Qingxuan... While I'd prefer to get to know you personally, these are quite convenient. [ he starts saying this, as charming and flirtatious as before, but there's a moment where his eyebrows like almost jump up into his hairline.
does. does that number say what he thinks it says. ]
no subject
anyway, with his glass being empty, shi qingxuan wastes no time in refilling it, and also wastes no time in finishing off her glass and refilling it too.]
See something that surprises you?
no subject
Only that it doesn't make a mention of your discerning taste. [ lifting his glass in a cheers! he'll keep his "what the fuck" buried nicely under wraps like a nice person ]
no subject
> doubt.]
It's a shame it doesn't! Perhaps there's someone I could contact to have it amended.
no subject
Haha. [ amusement lights up his face at that, eyes crinkling with his smile. ] If you do, you must let me know, hm? There are a few things on mine that I think could use some editing.
no subject
[i die inside every time i type gu-xiong.]
no subject
[ touching his heart. ] Truly, I've never been so lucky.
no subject
[keeps drinking]
no subject
[ he says, clearly enjoying every second of it. this is terrible. ] Two beauties and a bar of alcohol as far as the eye can see - luck seems exactly the case.
no subject
[oh, oops, she appears to have finished her glass!
time to pour more in there. alas, the bottle of plum soju is now empty. they'll have to pick a new flavor next time.]
no subject
[ somewhere chang geng is getting a headache as gu yun drains the rest of his drink. ] Your choice this time, I think.
no subject
[time to look over their options... aha, here's a jug of something that looks familiar from home. she serves it up for them both, sips at it...]
Oh, good, this one is stronger. Go ahead and try it.
no subject
a beat, as he smacks his lips, thoughtful - then he smacks his hand against the table, delighted. ] That's good! Like the wine from the south - takes me back home.
no subject
[...though that's not terrible surprising, considering the xiong and the jiejie and all.]
