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!

Anyway, helpfully, as he pulls his hand back:]
Is your master a human? They do that. [Just DITCH PEOPLE, it's very funny. Humans! So messy!!] But I could help you look, if you want! Ah, but, you know - what will you do if no one claims you? Being any sort of servant here sounds pretty boring, anyway.
no subject
[wow maybe i WANT to get the asmr petting experience by a flea]
And...I don't know. [A little sigh.] But I'm sure I'll work it out somehow. A Servant is a special kind of existence, you know.
no subject
Mm, mine too, mine too. [Humans being mages... The only sorcerers he knows are human, after all, but it's not like his planet is crawling with variety. It just feeds his voracious curiosity, though!!]
I'll help you look, so while we're looking, why don't you tell me a little more about being a servant? And you! If you serve a mage, you're probably not human either, right?
no subject
Mmm, how correct you are! I'm not human. Are you not, either? You see, I'm something called a "Heroic Spirit"! So I may look human, but I'm only a shadow of Human Order.
no subject
Anyway, he just smiles at that, nodding without pause.]
Nope! Not a heroic spirit either, though. Actually, I've never heard of anything like that before! Haha, there are a lot of people here from places with things I've never heard of.
[Though he honestly seems hype as hell about it. LEARNING NEW THINGS IS GREAT.]
no subject
[A sigh.]
So, what are you, then?
no subject
[CLAPPING HIS HANDS TOGETHER and looking quite pleased! Honestly, he would be winning just by being here Absorbing New Information, which he finds endlessly entertaining in and of itself.
Good question, though.]
Mm...! If your world has mages, does it have curses?
no subject
[(limbo voice) haha i made so many curses happen :)]
Why do you ask?
no subject
Ooh! You did? You must have been a powerful onmyouji, then, if you were the cause of things like that! [He does not at all seem bothered by it, unfortunately. Quite the opposite!! Terrible. He also helpfully gestures at himself...]
That's me!
no subject
[And Douman looks over at Mahito to give him a proper look. At the scars, his general appearance. Ah, yes.]
[Somehow, Douman isn't surprised.]
You're a curse? Ahhhhh. How intriguing. And who was your creator? I'd have to give them my compliments on such a fine job.
no subject
Hey, will you tell me more about yourself, then? I don't get to meet people like you often. [A bright, flashing grin! And then--] Ah - hah, it wasn't quite like that, either. But I can tell you that story too, if you want.
[At which point he will just fuckin reach for this enormous jinglegiant's hand so he can guide them away to hell goodbye everyone.]
