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!

The color fades. It won't last. It won't do any good like this.

[ Medb likes bath bombs fine, but not like this. ]

Mm, small edits to the background for variety aren't unusual...

You're a few screws loose in the head, aren't you.

Aoi might be glitched.
fergalicious: (i'm fergalicious)

[personal profile] fergalicious 2021-02-06 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think it's might.

[personal profile] gamerbrain 2021-02-06 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
But Aoi can't patch the game. Aoi can't fix it.
fergalicious: (you can squeeze me)

[personal profile] fergalicious 2021-02-06 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that something you can normally do?

[ She's skeptical. ]
gamerbrain: (pic#14604220)

[personal profile] gamerbrain 2021-02-06 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. Aoi can usually save and reload and patch the game.
fergalicious: (but i ain't promiscuous)

[personal profile] fergalicious 2021-02-06 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
This is a game, but it's not the type of game you're used to.

Whatever messed up game that is.

[personal profile] gamerbrain 2021-02-06 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that why Aoi was put in a new game? The old one was bad?
fergalicious: (put it down like me)

[personal profile] fergalicious 2021-02-06 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
From the looks of you, yeah. I'd say that's it.

[ She sighs like she thinks Aoi is so pitiful. ]
gamerbrain: (pic#14604280)

[personal profile] gamerbrain 2021-02-06 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ hm. she just... ponders this. ]

Boop boop...
fergalicious: (but i ain't promiscuous)

[personal profile] fergalicious 2021-02-07 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
You should fix yourself.

[personal profile] gamerbrain 2021-02-07 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ she wants to! ]

But Aoi can't connect to the servers to update. Without updating, Aoi can't be patched.
fergalicious: (fergalicious definition)

[personal profile] fergalicious 2021-02-07 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Do it without connecting to the servers you were a part of. You said it yourself. You're part of a new game now.

[ Medb doesn't know how software works. ]

[personal profile] gamerbrain 2021-02-07 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ in her own very Strange way, aoi is too polite to directly say this won't work

so instead she just. doesn't say anything. which is not better. ]
fergalicious: (just working on my fitness)

[personal profile] fergalicious 2021-02-07 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's not.

But if Aoi isn't going to say anything, Medb doesn't see a reason to respond and she already said her piece, so she is just going to leave.

And by leave, she's just getting into the hot tub. ]
