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!

[oh fuck is this what it means to converse with a gentlemen, mineo is reminded suddenly and intensely all he does is converse with ex-cops and weirdos]

Y... yeah! That's me! Enomoto Mineo and my - uh, punk neo-... geronimo or whatever!

[oh god]

I could go for some sushi, yeah!

A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Enomoto. I'm Kaz Kaan. Personally, I'd say my style errs more on the wilder side of Ralph, but I've never been one to say no to switching things up!

Should we sushi? It's winter, the best time for fuguβ€”or so I'm told by my sushi master!
sengokus: (β™Ÿ and now i lay myself down;)

Uh, Kaan-san.... I guess we can sushi, sure! We don't need to pay for anything in this place, right?

[again, hopefully:]

Right?

Wow, use of the honorific and everything. You've truly taken to the culture and tradition of Giappone in a dedicated way! I, for one, would like to praise your cultural sensitivity. It's people like you that make this world just a little more lively!

[he beams about sushi.]

Don't worry. If we do have to pay, it'll all be on me. I don't have my black card right now, but I'm sure they'll accept it, once they see me!
sengokus: (β™Ÿ and how can i move on)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-02-06 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . HELLO???]

Once they... see you?

Are you a big shot or something...?

Well, I am currently the number one bachelor in Neo Yokio, not the least of which because I haven't seen Arcangelo Corelli anywhere nearby? So, yeah!

I'm kind of a big thing, I guess.
