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.

just laying very still? The snake is like. caught in his jewelry. what if he just lays here then. snakes can't see you if you're not moving. that's how this works. Now just whispering:]
Because Viwa is clearly going through something right now.
no subject
See? The curse is lifted. We are now fwee of toddlers.
[ she does nothing about the snake except laugh pleasantly at it. ]
And you've earned yourself a familiar. Such serpentine elegance... Shall we find one for you as well, Grace? I'm sure this M*chaels has one, they are traditionally labyrinths full of overpriced magic and 40% off coupons.
[ there are probably more snakes? they could get her a snake? ]
no subject
[ grace manages to sound EXCEEDINGLY exasperated even in a whisper, and she does not help molly with his other friend snake immediately ]
And no, I don't want a snake. They're all scaly and gross and they bite and I don't even want to know how you did that with your mouth.
[ how did she go beep?? how did she censor what was clearly a michaels???? anyway grace is going to grab some kind of needle from the box so she can try and wrap the snake around it. it's sort of like a stick? she is poking a snake with a stick ]
Molly, stay still.
no subject
Already got one familiar to look after, what am I going to do a with a second!
[Staying very. very still? Don't poke his eye out Grace.]
Do not impale me with that.
no subject
There's no danger of that so long as you remain strong, Mollymauk. These creatures can taste fear in the air and will grow thrice their size if they take notice of any panic. It will consume you entirely.
[ like quicksand, but a snake. anyway she's just watching grace. go grace. the snake does not look super pleased about the stick, flaring slightly. ]
no subject
[ anyway, have you ever tried to intimidate a snake with your eyes only. it doesn't work but grace is trying ]
If I impale anything it's going to be that stupid snake, get off, I'll get you a dumb heat rock or whatever lizards like.
[ don't tell the snake this ]
no subject
then fuck it, just reaches up and snatches it with one hand and yanks it free himself yeeting it smack into the tapestry, sending it tumbling backwards with a crash.]
Hah! How's that for a finisher?
no subject
Well done. You've vanquished the single-headed hydra.
[ the old men in the ceiling are impressed? 30 comments later, vira hands them each a loom. ]
Now our struggle truly begins.
no subject
This has been a terrible experience already. Yay.
