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!

laundry.............
CHILDE IS BACK IN HIS REGULAR CLOTHES and just stares for a minute but you know what, sure. This is fine. Thanks for getting your ass cooties all over the top of the washing machine, people will probably bang on all of them eventually anyway so whatever.]
I'm not sure a wash will save that outfit, to be honest.
no subject
Ah? Oh - this? [LIFTS UP the Ariana Grande Outfit™ and shakes it... Whipped cream probably plops onto the floor.] It's fine, I didn't want to wash it. I just wanted to see what was inside that one, since the door's shut really tight.
[WHY IS HE IN HERE NAKED WITH THE OUTFIT THEN.]
no subject
Also Childe is just going to watch that whipped cream plop onto the floor... gross...]
Well, I suppose I can give it a try.
[And he will do so! With as much strength as he can when it doesn't budge! But alas, no dice...
...]
Seems you've broken it, comrade.
no subject
ALSO LOOK. He may be a hooligan but he will not be blamed for property damage that he didn't commit!!]
I didn't! It was already like that when I came in here. I thought there might be something interesting inside...
[But if he can't get it open and this rando can't get it open, then he's too bored to give it a third try. With a sigh, he hops off the washing machine.]
Oh well, oh well. Someone else can have it, if there's anything good in there.
no subject
I doubt there's anything valuable to be found in there anyway. The other rooms seemed to have more entertainment, don't you think?
no subject
He also perks up at the mention of the other rooms! HELL YEAH they were entertaining!! He made a mess in one of them, it's fine.]
Mm, it's true, it's true. Hah - they really worked to cover their bases, didn't they? Between food and things to do... Ah, but there are a few things that seem a little off, you know?
no subject
What's off that you've noticed?
no subject
[That could just be Gojou though, honestly.]
no subject
Well, there's an old saying, where I came from--"the walls have ears". [Sometimes you're just constantly under surveillance and you're used to it already]
no subject
[Sometimes you're used to being the wall ears though, and not used to being the one walls are earing.]
Oh! There's the vegetables, too.
no subject
What vegetables?
no subject
In the fridge. They're in the back sometimes, but you can close the door and it'll all be normal again. Pretty weird, right?
no subject
That is strange, certainly. [Did Mahito eat the rotten vegetables.] What do you make of it?
no subject
No clue! [CHEERILY, as he shrugs.] Maybe I'll try to grab them the next time they're in there and see what happens when you take them out.
[Why does he even bother saying maybe.]
no subject
Let me know what happens if you do, alright? Though I can't say it makes me eager to eat anything here.
no subject
Sure, sure. [A NOD. And then a laugh, because yeah, wouldn't that suck if they were all just eating rotten food?] I wonder if all of it looks that bad sometimes?
