7rings | WEEK 4 MINGLE

POPULATION: 24

Good morning, starshines. It is another beautiful day here on the base, and it’s the start of a new week!

Good thing, too. After the deaths of Omi Fushimi, Ashiya Douman and Trafalgar Law, the tension around the base may be a bit higher than it was before. Should anyone try to contact the deceased or review their profiles, they will find that they have been deleted from everyone's phones.

Perhaps you expect this by now, but it seems that the elevator reveals that it may now visit the fourth floor. It may be worth checking out these new areas, free for exploration. If you're feeling incredibly ambitious, you can also take a more in-depth look.

While you can't contact the deceased, the Avatars are once again available via their eight symbols. Shoot them a message, have a chat with them, and see what you can learn. Perhaps you'll find it easier this week.

Unless you're shy, of course. It seems as though your inhibitions are right back where they belong and instead this week seems...normal? Nothing seems immediately off as you go about your day, but the moment you come across another person there's the overwhelming desire to be kind. The larger your conflict is with another person, the more kind you will want to be to them. Insults can't quite make it past your lips this week, and even rude gestures are harder to display. Perhaps your kindness will even manifest in ways you don't quite expect.

Now, now. No reason to be petty.

Wah!! There really is something about the rush...

[The RUSH of there STILL BEING LIMITED EDITION ITEMS!! He claps his hands delightedly.]

No crowd's fine, too! To be honest, I don't actually like 'em very much. Do you think there'll still be some left by the time I go find someone to fight, though?

[ very seriously: ] Aoi can't guarantee it. They're first come first serve.

Mmm... That's a pretty risky move, then.

[TAPPING HIS CHIN. He too looks like he is giving this some serious thought. Very stupid.]

...Do you think it'd be cheating if I took one now and got someone else to fight me for it later?

[Gladiator-style battle for the cookie...]

Aoi thinks that still counts.

Like when people re-sell merchandise, or get into fights in the parking lot.

Ooh, that's a super good point... Wow, I've never gotten into a fight in the parking lot before, either! I'm checking off all kinds of boxes today.

[A solemn nod as he decides this is how he wants to spend his Tuesday evening. Just finding someone to fight him for a cookie... Into the room he goes, so he can mosey up to the counter properly!]

Okay, then! I'll take one Limited Edition Edible Cookie, please!

Got it!

[ i hope he gets into a parking lot fight. but aoi retrieves a cookie for him and hands it over! ]

Lucky you! Supply is getting low.

[He is absolutely going to try his damndest to. THE THRILL OF GOOD LUCK IS ONLY PART OF THE EXPERIENCE, HE ALSO NEEDS THE DANGER!!

But! He'll take the cookie, looking very pleased.]

Wow! Hot ticket item, huh? I guess there are a lot of people around with a sweet tooth... It really does feel like a victory this way, though!

There's only one left! Maybe that'll make finding someone to fight easier.

Woah! I only just barely made it...!

[TRULY A LIMITED EDITION EDIBLE COOKIE. He will treasure it...]

I think I know someone who would, so it should be fine. I'll let you know if I win! I hope I do, I wanna see what it tastes like.

I hope you get to. Aoi can't make any replacements.

It wouldn't be limited edition if you could, right?

If there was gonna be a rerun, it would be a long time, at least.

Makes sense, makes sense! Gotta drive up product demand and all, right?

... Yes. But Aoi thinks that probably works better when you're charging money for the product.

I think it works pretty well even if you don't! I mean, you almost "sold out" even without charging anything here, right? Actually, freebies are even better for driving market demand sometimes, aren't they?

Boop boop...

That might be specific to food. A taste test is exciting, but production cost for most merch would make the publicity of a freebie less financially viable.

[ ... ]

Oooh, yeah. I forgot about that.

[It's great existing outside of capitalism, damn.]

Hm... Well! Good thing it's food that you're dealing with here, then!

[ she laughs! ]

Aoi wouldn't know where to start for any other kind of merchandise.

Maybe some kind of accessory? That stuff always sells out super fast! And it's not too hard to make, like, bracelets or whatever.

[Time for them to all learn how to make friendship bracelets together.]

It's not hard? It sounds hard.

Not the kinds that're just made with string and ribbon and stuff!

Aoi has never tried.

Oh! We can make some together, then. I'll show you the one I know!

That sounds fun!

I'll go ask some avatars later if they have the stuff we need! Maybe we can work on 'em in trial.

[SOMEONE WILL BE DEAD.]
