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!

[GOOD THING VANITY ISN'T ONE OF HIS MANY VICES DAMN he just fucking laughs. Very stupid... Though it's a laugh that morphs into a pout pretty quickly because YEAH?? YEAH!! Endorsi is RIGHT. Endorsi is VALID!!]

It is, it really is. [EVERYONE SHOULD BE INCREDIBLY RELIEVED ACTUALLY.] It's so strange to be without things that are innate to you! What are you missing, then?
fisherwoman: (hillary here is no stranger to tragedy)

If I wanted to, I could have thrown you straight through that wall with a flick of my wrist...

[Now she is a weak binch!! Horrible.]

touchups: (you won't believe your eyes)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-02-06 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[IMMEDIATELY HE JUST

SITS BOLT UPRIGHT, YELLING.]


Wait, wait! Hey! You could do something like that?! I want someone to try flicking me through a wall! That's not fair!

[What the fuck!! These power nerfs are nonsense!!! HE WANTS TO FIGHT!!!!! FIGHT HIM.]
fisherwoman: (all grown up and with something to)

[personal profile] fisherwoman 2021-02-06 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[With just as much energy:]

It's horrible, right? I worked so hard to get that strong! What a cruel thing to do to a girl like me...
touchups: (but he's no less content)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-02-06 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[THEY ARE SO STUPID!!!!! He flops back over, huffing like he has been personally offended by Endorsi's plight?!]

It is! That's the worst! Ah, things would be so much more fun if they just left us alone...

[Who cares about evening the playing field, gosh.]
fisherwoman: (and i got a block of gouda)

[personal profile] fisherwoman 2021-02-06 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not our fault they decided to bring weak people here, is it? How lame.

[Rude! But she glances towards him in the midst of their mutual pity party.]

What could you do, then?
touchups: (i'm not gonna hurt you yet)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-02-06 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Right? If they wanted to make it fair, they should have just made the offer only to people already on the same level.

[A SIGH. God, they should have been the ones organizing this actually? Anyway, he waves a hand at that.]

Lots of stuff, I guess? [WHY DOES HE SOUND UNCERTAIN.] I can explain later, if you want.
fisherwoman: (why don't you go get out of here)

[personal profile] fisherwoman 2021-02-06 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Now it's unfair and boring.

[The worst! But she glances at him curiously.]

Hm... Maybe I'll take you up on that later.
touchups: (i'm only happy when it's complicated)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-02-06 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not hard to find each other like this, at least.

[Since they're all trapped on one floor, possibly forever since Hisoka's clown body is blocking the elevator shaft.]

Hey - what's your name?
fisherwoman: (unbelievable bargain!)

[personal profile] fisherwoman 2021-02-06 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm? Oh! Endorsi Jahad, of course.

[of course??]

What's yours?
touchups: (we don't want other eyes to see)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-02-06 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[OF COURSE.]

Mahito. [Just Mahito... A smile!] Hey! If you ever want to see if your strength is back, you should come find me, okay? I'll get bored if I don't get to stretch.
fisherwoman: (for a light chobani lunch)

[personal profile] fisherwoman 2021-02-06 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[She laughs.]

Even like this, you'd have to do more than stretch in a fight with me!
touchups: (when the truth arrives)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-02-06 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE JUST GRINS this is terrible.]

Even better, then!
fisherwoman: (should be coming today!)

[personal profile] fisherwoman 2021-02-07 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[She grins.]

Come find me if you ever want to fight! But remember that I won't go easy on you.
touchups: (shadows climbing walls hide cracks)

[personal profile] touchups 2021-02-07 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
I'd be disappointed if you did!

[WHY IS THIS THEIR FIRST FUCKING DISCUSSION.]
