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've gotten better at this.
[He remembers that attempt to hug Caleb, Beau. Anyway there's a lot to unpack in that statement. That means that like. Time has passed. Hm.]
You found them? And they're alive?
no subject
I've been practicing, I guess. [ grumble. ] ... They're alive. Yeah. Kind of fucked up, but alive.
[ ... she doesn't say much more, if only because i'm not going to straight up spoil critical role plot points on the mingle ]
no subject
Right. Then enough of that.
[Pulling back, but he does just briefly grab her by the face so he can smooch her on the forehead. If you're going to start doing emotional hugs, you've broken the barrier where he just forehead smooches you now.]
What the fuck are you doing here?
no subject
I - don't say a fucking word! Do not. I swear to every single god, I'll shove my foot so far up your ass it'll come out your mouth, but -- [ ... a pause. she chews her bottom lip, and then: ] It said I could have whatever I wanted, so.
I thought. You know. [ she gestures at his bloody shirt. ] I thought...
1/2
trying really really hard to keep a straight face because she did tell him not to say a word but also--]
no subject
Beauregard! [said in such an incredulous tone. clutching a hand to his chest. ] You cannot be serious! Are you having emotions at me right now? What happened to you?! I'm not sure this is really-- are you a fake? This is actually a drug-induced dream vision!
no subject
[ SHE'S GOING TO PUNCH HIM she straight up just open hand whacks him on the chest. she's gonna do it again if he doesn't try to run. while she's doing this, he can probably see her tattoo on her hand - the green one, with a bunch of eyes. he might also catch a faint glimmer of green at the back of her neck, too. ]
Fuck you! Never mind, I should've just left your dumb purple ass in the grave where it belongs! [ >:U ]
no subject
You could ask for anything! You could ask for a hundred thousand platinum pieces and just paid someone magic to do whatever you like to my purple ass! And then spent the rest on booze! And a castle! A whole kingdom!
no subject
[ she says, annoyed. ] We're doing fine. And we can't - pay someone to... [ she looks VERY ANNOYED. ] I forgot how much I hate you, actually, you fucking dickhead!
[ her squishy insides. she's gonna try to hit him again!! ]
no subject
You can't take it back now! I know how much you care!
