WEEK ZERO: INTRO MINGLE

[probe]

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!

[ I. PICK YOUR POISON ]

[i'm sorry he's not staying in the ariana grande outfit because it'll cause me, dana, psychic damage - so mineo's in his actual clothes, even if his hair is absolutely still dealing with stray pieces of glitter and confetti - and he'll just be staring at the symbol on the back of his hand related to sloth. he looks a little disappointed]

Isn't this kinda depressing... If I were to get a tattoo, it'd be like - a crest? Or some swords. Maybe a dragon - ahh, a dragon tattoo! Wouldn't that be way manlier than some dying plant?!

[these thoughts shouldn't be said out loud.

but he'll wave you down with that very same hand]

Heyyy! Did you get tatted up too? Don't you think they should ask permission for this kind of thing?

[ II. WALK WALK FASHION BABY ]

[when everyone is out of their ariana grande outfits - and whatever it is that you're wearing, so long as it's not normie pleb clothes, mineo will do an up and down of what you're wearing followed by a very earnest:]

Excuse me!

Your costume's super suuuuper cool! That was just in your closet? I'm way jealous! Did you make it yourself? Or did you buy it off Cosonsen?!

[he thinks this is comic con. also for the record random non-human parts will still count and earn his admiration. he thinks you're just really determined to wear your cosplay you probably paid $300 in commissions for, it's cool]

[ III. YEET ]

[also pure head empty prompt: as he goes through his bag of goodies in more detail, he's off to the side and muttering to himself as he shifts past all the fallen confetti]

Huh? Something soft? What's this - WHY!!!!

[good news everyone, mineo has touched one tiddy-adjacent item. it's the stress ball shaped like a boob and, with the strength of a track and field star, it's getting thrown across the room in his surprise

i'm so sorry]

[ WILDCARD ]

[wildcard me up babey i'm here for a bad time not a long time. pcs & random prompts both welome!]

I

[housewolf]

[This guy is so energetic he can't quite help the smile that comes up to his face.

Omi's still in the elevator outfit though.]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure everybody did.

[He holds up his hand, with the green eye tattoo.]

[sengokus]

[aw - this guy seems friendly. and mineo just laughs a little bit when he sees the tattoo]

And you're comfy in that outfit, man? Maybe the tattoo means you want all eyes on you?

ii.

[niceguyferatu]

Ah, you've a discerning eye, haven't you? [ He fiddles with the cufflinks of his extremely well-tailored designer suit.

(He also has bright pink furry cat ears on his head but don't worry about those.) ]

I'm unfamiliar with Cosonsen, but I did have this personally designed by Barmani.

[sengokus]

Barmani?! It sounds foreign!

[OH THOSE LUXURY BRANDS]

And personally designed? You got money, dude? And you're still here?!

[damn....... money can't buy everything even if it can buy barmani.........]

iii

[gamerbrain]

[ it hits aoi and she reacts... alarmingly little.

she just lets it plop down after it hits her. did she. did she even notice?? ]

[sengokus]

[wh

WH

nOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

he looks like he's about to wither away, just absolutely turn to dust, as he walks in front of aoi and just.

crumples to the floor, dogeza-ing right in front of her]

F-F-Forgive me.... To hit a girl with a crude toy..... unforgivable....

ii

[fluffier]

Oh?

[ Yuel isn't really wearing a costume, but if she were a furry, the ears and tail would definitely cost $300.

Anyway, she doesn't know what a furry is so she just preens under the praise, hands on her hips and chin up. ]

You've got good taste appreciatin' Yuel's fashion sense! It took me a long time to find such a cute dress.

i!

[toesies]

Yup.

[A little miffed. She doesn't hold up her hand for him to see, but she does try to rub at it with her other hand, like that will make whatever's glowing there go away.]

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure this is like, a crime?

i

[enfangs]

[white's also in normal clothes by that point, gloves covering his tattoo, as he tries to take a look at mineo's hand.

he's laughing, sorry.]

You seriously got a plant? A dead one? That's fucking hilarious!

[YOU'RE A LOSER, MINEO]

I.

[headmt]

[Hm? Oh. Looking down at his own hand. Looks like the little crown one. Though it's probably less noticeable than the big red eye on the back of his other hand. Waggling it why he checks it out.]

Wouldn't be the first time I've woken up with a new one I didn't remember.

ii

[holeful]

[Fukuda's wearing pretty normal clothes, save maybe the suspenders, so he's a bit perplexed by the sudden interest. For obvious reasons, he does not think that the attention is more about what Mineo surely thinks is some complicated facial prosthetics.]

Hm? I just bought these at the store. Your clothes are more elaborate than mine, friend.

iii

[chevaleros]

[ vira gets hit in the face with a boob, and not like, in a fun way. she catches it in one bounce, before seeing what it is and dropping it like she's touched something hot. ]

...

[ she casts a deliberate glance over at the man at fault, smiling. ]

Hm? Pardon me, is this yours?

i

[callmemeg]

Seems like we all missed a bit of fine print, haven't we?

[ to answer, meg just kind of flicks her hand at him? mineo will catch a flash of blue, but that's it because she's already moving again, dropping her hands to her sides as she wanders over. ]

It's not like it matters what it is, as long as it comes off later. [ after giving mineo an appraising look, she turns away. ] Besides, you'd have to be a man for it really give you that "manly" effect.

[ i'm sorry ]

iii

[alteracion]

[ she moves out of the way at the scream, but it still like, bounces off her shoulder. tit to shoulder. boop.


and then she's laughing as she bends down to pick it up ]

Was it too much for you to handle? [ she is holding it out and squeezing it. like a stress ball. also, like someone mistreating a boob. ]

iii

[shiftingwinds]

[shi qingxuan has just been hit with a tiddy stressball.]

...I think you may have dropped this.

[tosses it back to him!]

i runs at you

[touchups]

[He's waving Mahito down and Mahito's just waving back for literally no reason outside of the fact that he's just very excitable right now in general.]

Yeah, yeah! Maybe it was part of that fine print they mentioned, haha. [HAHA..... It's fine. Anyway, he flips his waving hand around, showing the tipped scales.] You don't like yours?

ii

[liuli]

[ here's gu yun, in his fancy black robes, glancing at this very excited boy. who let him in.

...however, because he's gu yun, a grin crosses his face, and he touches his hand to his own chest, almost striking a pose in his usual, completely shameless manner. ] Ah - a costume's a costume when it's worn by a performer, no? Or a fan?

If that's the case, then perhaps you'd like to try it on for size? They're the real thing.

iii

[fergalicious]

[ why is a very good question for what he's doing

Medb sidesteps the tiddy and watches it bounce off the wall or whatever. That's some nice strength in his throw, but. ]

Have you never seen one before?

iii

[femmefinale]

[ She gets hit.

In the head.

With a tiddy stress ball. Which normally wouldn't hurt, except that sure was a lot of strength it was hurled with, so Primrose just sort of staggers?? ]

What--

i

[sophistications]

[You were kind to Mineo but I was not kind to Tamaki so now here's this rich bitch still in his Ariana outfit but also wearing the tiny crown. He has dog ears? Also, he's just blinking in surprise.]

Perhaps, though I don't suppose it's as awful as it could be. [He holds up his hand to show off his new despair tattoo.] Though I've never thought a sword was appropriate for me, I do like the color.

i.

[bachelorbored]

Oh, this?

[his is the same as mineo's!]

Eh. It's dull enough that a touch of coverup deftly wielded would take care of it, right? Better yet, its unobtrusive design means it's easier to remove, should the time come!

Of course, I'd prefer my skin unmarred, but the back of the hand is probably the best place for it, considering skin elasticity. And very inverse Ariana Grande!

ii

[executeprogramming]

[while he appreciates the jealousy and admiration for his form, he doesn't as much like the....closeness and "costume" implication, so he answers a bit testily]

Response: This is no costume, meatbag, but plasma-tempered durasteel plating. You may be able to buy sub-standard models, but I was created using the finest engineering.

[he also has a full-on sci-fi rifle complete with glowy lights]

yeet.

[nodo]

[ yeah. sure.


let's get hit in the face by a boob and stand there like it didn't happen. rather, he's going to see what mineo's next move is after realizing (hopefully) pelting someone in the face with a boob. ]

III.

[aubins]

[ he just applauds.


it's loud. ]
