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!

You're welcome, again!

Feel free to "indulge", as they say!

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-02-06 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
And indulge in it before you get the chance to? No, no, I insist - you go first.

Oh, no thanks! Hot tubs are a living soup of human-borne bacterias.

[he points at the water, and says pleasantly:]

It's a cesspit breeding grounds for other people's diseases!

...

And you want the rest of us to go in there?

[personal profile] bachelorbored 2021-02-06 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Some people really like it, irregardless of the danger!

Perhaps it adds spice?
shiftingwinds: (048)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-02-06 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose some people do get a thrill out of dangerous situations.

Haha! Completely nasty.

Anyway! If you use it, make sure you clean your body well afterwards!
shiftingwinds: (028)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-02-07 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
...I'll keep that in mind.

[honestly she kind of doesn't want to use it now]

[personal profile] bachelorbored 2021-02-07 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure it'll be fine, as long as nobody commits lewd acts! Hah!

What nostalgia. You should have seen the hot tub at Freddie Miles' in the Hamptons! A writhing flurry of bodies!

Sounds like you had fun... watching?

[personal profile] bachelorbored 2021-02-07 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
No, I left. I was tired, and Helena St Tessero already went home, so I peaced out too.
shiftingwinds: (007)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-02-07 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
I see. Good for you?

[personal profile] bachelorbored 2021-02-07 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
Extremely good. I met up with Cathy the next day. Even though that ended in mild disaster—what with her choosing employment over love and Neo Yokio—I'd like to think we still had a good time!

[kaz kaan is so much. he's very entertaining to listen to, though, so sqx is going to keep prodding him for more details.]

Oh? What made it good despite the disaster?
bachelorbored: (十五番)

[personal profile] bachelorbored 2021-02-08 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, well. I don't want to brag, but she was extremely hot.
shiftingwinds: (065)

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-02-08 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that so? Good for you!

[you ... get that eyecandy, kaz! or. look at that eyecandy, as it were. at least he doesn't seem too broken up about it.]
