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!

Uh, wouldn't you know better than me?

You're really working outside the blind box, huh?

Do you need a hand finding something in the refrigerator? I have perfectly working eyes, unblemished and barely strained by heavy seeing labor, although I have seen many things worthy of reproach.

Something like that.

[ he seems?? way too amused?? gu yun leans back from where he's standing, looking back at kaz, before he takes a step away from the refrigerator and all of its magic cold, then spreads his arms. go on. ]

That makes two of us, too. [ having seen things?? having perfectly working eyes?? ??? he explains nothing. ] But, if you'd offer your barely strained eyes, I'd be more than glad for the suggestion.

As long as you don't stand too close. [ fishy ]

Don't worry, I would never seek to impinge on your personal space without good reason.

[he's here now! helping! he looks like he feels better now.]

What are you looking for? A light afternoon repast, perhaps?

[personal profile] liuli 2021-02-06 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. Surprise me.

[ this ought to be interesting. he settles back, tucking his thumbs into the waist piece of his robes. ]

Here you go!

[he pulls out

a log of foie gras.]


Sauteed in plenty of butter, with a fresh crispbreads, it's perfect for a relaxing day of not reading!

[ uwoah! he makes a surprised noise, hand to his heart, and looks at kaz with wide, innocent eyes, like a thankful little lamb. ]

I see. You sound like an expert, sir. [ in. not reading. ]
bachelorbored: (十五η•ͺ)

[personal profile] bachelorbored 2021-02-06 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I wouldn't be so brash as to say that! I think of myself more as a gentleman, with a wide breadth of knowledge, free to share with the world!

[he's holding out the log for you. go on. take it. :)]

Would the kind gentleman be willing to tell me what he's recommending? It smells unfamiliar.

[ he does not take the plate, though he does hold his hands out a bit in front of himself, palms up. ]
bachelorbored: (二η•ͺ)

[personal profile] bachelorbored 2021-02-07 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Foie gras, of course! I recommend re-tuning your nostrils, if you can't even sniff that out, my good blind sir!

[he hands him the entire foie gras.

it's wrapped in plastic how tf would he have sniffed it but whatever]

[ there's a beat. ]

Would you bully a blind man? That's terrible.

I would never! Disabled people are so brave!
