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!

[well

at least no one gets hit this time

but the fact that there's an audience still pierces an arrow through enomoto's heart as he covers his face]


It wasn't a free show...!

[ sing song: ]

I'm not paying for anything.
sengokus: (♟ they don't understand)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-02-06 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not what I meant either!!

[HE'S NOT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT THERE'S SO MANY CLOWNS HERE

but he just places a hand on his own heart as if to calm it down before turning to yuri]


... any chance you want... that....

[the... boob toy.....]
aubins: (62)

[personal profile] aubins 2021-02-06 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ hmmm. ]

[ he picks up the stress boob, and turns it over in his hands slowly. then he takes mineo's hand and


puts the boob in it. ]


No, I'm fairly sure we all already have one.
sengokus: (♟ and hope i wake up young again;)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-02-06 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[yuri can probably feel the

full body flinch when there the stress boob is placed in his hand]


Ugh.... Th... anks.... for getting it...

[he's. polite. even as he goes to. gingerly drop the boob back in the box...... he doesn't want it.......]
aubins: (13)

[personal profile] aubins 2021-02-06 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ah yes.

here is a man who has never touched a boob in his whole life. ]


You're welcome. Try not to lose your gifts again, who knows when they might come in handy.

[ smile ]
sengokus: (♟ fake sentiment)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-02-06 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[n... no.... he just looks flustered at that and glances away immediately. back to awkward fidgeting]

I'll, uh, keep that in mind.... Even if I really don't want to...

A-Anyway! Did you get anything good in yours?!
aubins: (53)

[personal profile] aubins 2021-02-06 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ this is


so fun. bless you mineo. ]


I'd assumed they were all similar. Did you have a frozen steak in your box?
sengokus: (♟ like lovers do)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-02-06 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh - yeah.

Isn't that kinda weird? Like... why?

[just

why?]


Was someone worried we'd get hungry? But there's a kitchen...
aubins: (60)

[personal profile] aubins 2021-02-06 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
... I'm at loathe to toss it out in case it actually turns out to be relevant for... something. Whatever that something is.

Maybe we're not the ones meant to eat it?

[ just why, indeed. ]
sengokus: (♟ even when i'm down;)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-02-06 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
What? Who would eat it? Is there a dog or something here?

[whO ARE YOU FEEDING FROZEN STEAK TO, YURI]
aubins: (66)

[personal profile] aubins 2021-02-06 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, calm down.

[ sir?? ]

It's speculation. Or were planning on having the suspicious frozen steak as a midnight snack or something?
sengokus: (♟ like lovers do)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-02-06 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
No way - there's a vending machine here! Have you checked it out? That thing's super decked out!
aubins: (3)

[personal profile] aubins 2021-02-06 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
The... thing that gives you food when you tell it to? Yeah, I've played around with it. But at least it's not our only food option.
sengokus: (♟ in the dark and)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-02-06 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh - yeah, are you not used to them? Vending machines are great! One of man's greatest creations, next to streaming sites and wi-fi!

Though I guess we've only got one of those things here....
aubins: (22)

[personal profile] aubins 2021-02-06 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
... Why-fry?

[ HOO BOY. ]
