WEEK 4 MINGLE

[probe]

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.

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

[touchups]

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?

[gamerbrain]

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.

[ ... ]

[touchups]

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!

[gamerbrain]

[ she laughs! ]

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

[touchups]

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.]

[gamerbrain]

It's not hard? It sounds hard.

[touchups]

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

[gamerbrain]

Aoi has never tried.

[touchups]

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

[gamerbrain]

That sounds fun!

[touchups]

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.]

[gamerbrain]

[ i'll be honest, it's probably more helpful for aoi to sit in a corner and make a bracelet than try to help with the trial

that said, she does WANT to contribute and be helpful, so... ]

Aoi thinks we'll have other priorities...

[touchups]

[And then there's Mahito who just spends 90% of trial popcorning drama and napping...]

I guess, but it's nine whole hours and we never use the entire thing to solve stuff.

[gamerbrain]

... Maybe Aoi could still work on it while Aoi thinks.

[touchups]

[IMMEDIATELY BEAMING.]

Yeah! It helps your brain if you keep your hands busy, anyway.

[gamerbrain]

Really?

[touchups]

Probably, yeah! I'm sure there's something science-y about it somewhere.
