WEEK 6 MINGLE

[probe]

POPULATION: 19

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 Aoi Mukou, Lenore and Mahito, 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. Strange things are happening, little sinners. Don't be shy now.

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.

Or maybe you won't? It's been a very emotional six weeks, hasn't it? Surely you're feeling conflicted about many things. Happiness. Sadness. Anger. Disgust. These feelings are all an important part of you, and this week it seems as though you'll be sharing them with others. Regardless of who you're speaking with, you will find that you will be subjected to feeling their emotions, and they yours. But lucky for you, there's a way to fix that! When two people settle down to patiently talk these feelings out, the connection will be broken.

...until the next time you see each other, that is.

Get in touch with your sensitive side, everyone. Maybe you'll learn something new this week.

tuesday mass text 2

[bonetiddies]

[A little bit later, Harrow starts a new thread, which resets our 20 text limit. Childe is also not included in this one.]

Transcribed one of the scrolls:

Autopsy Reports

Diluc Ragnvindr
The time of death was around 3pm, December 9th. Death caused by impalement. Likely a large weapon.

Update: Wound matches Griffith’s saber.

Aerith Gainsborough
The time of death was midnight, December 22nd. Cause of death: a slit across her throat.

Update: …a martyr of a woman. She agreed to allow him to take her life.

(There was a break here - HN)

Executions.

Dean Winchester
Execution date: December 11th.
Responsible for the shooting and incineration of Ms. Kurashiki. Strapped into a vehicle and sent to “superhell.”

Akihito Narihisago
Execution date: December 28th.
Responsible for the burning of Shirasu Kinjou. Struck down by lightning in the center of the Settlement.

(Another break here - HN)

The proceedings here have been left to the public. We are on our own and can only do better.

(There was a signature here, but I couldn't make it out. May be 'ME'. - HN)

[Also hang on for part two!]

[toesies]

[and here's part two:]

More info: I used my magnifying glass in the command room with Harrow and Molly. It gave us a vision from something that happened just a little before the rest of us got here. The avatars were all there, and so was the red haired dude from the life support room. Who, by the way, has a name now! It's Morow.

Long vision short, one of the avatars told him there was room for only one Gluttony. And that apparently got them both super worked up because they were totally about to punch it out while everyone else watched. Except then the gross antler thing showed up and dragged Morow down the elevator with its creepy little hands. That solves 1 mystery?

But that's not even the most ominous part. Right when the vision ended, one of the avatars said: "It should be satisfied long enough for the others to arrive." So, the implications are not great.

[shiftingwinds]

well thats horrifying

[toesies]

[+1]

[sengokus]

Nothing about Aiji Yanagi?
If anyone uses a scroll and learns anything about him let Takeru or I know ASAP

And could you tell which Avatar said it?

[bonetiddies]

It was just handwriting. I have my assumptions which one it is, but they are only that. I have not asked.

I did not see anything about him. I will let you know if I do.

[toesies]

I have a guess, but...

This is a reminder for everyone: DO NOT go to the avatars with this. There are things they can't talk about, and I am pretty damn sure this is one of them. That last thing sounds way more evil and sinister over text than it is, okay?

[alteracion]

remember when this was just about us indulging for a wish
I miss those days

[toesies]

Same

[dotcom]

Well
If that guy was enough to feed it for a while, then maybe it's a good thing he didn't show up with the rest of us.

[liuli]

I used my scroll today.

Mine is a list of eight names, redacted, along with their 'status'.
There's one for each sin, so likely the data within is for the Avatars.

The status refers to their body count - literally, in terms of kills, and... well. Metaphorically.
So something is likely keeping track of both of those things. By the by.

I've transcribed an example, but redacted sins for privacy.

An example:

NAME: [redacted]
STATUS: Alive (This varied - included "Alive(?)", Dying, Immortal, Unsundered, Undead - GY)
CONTRIBUTION:
Kills 0
Coitus 0
Highest Scoring Sin (Sin Name)

I also got Childe's scroll from him without any trouble. Contents below:

At the top, it was titled: The Settlement.

In the middle is a diagram of a simple, wide roadway flanked on each side by a row of buildings nestled against one another. Written across their hollow interior on the page is Mess Hall, Church, Jail, Rec Room, Mercantile, and Undertaker.

The cul-de-sac at the end has a building labeled The Barracks, and a list to the side of thirty-two things in groups of two. Most were illegible, but I assume it's their rooming situation.

Names I could read included: Hisoka Morow and Sebastian Michaelis, Ryan Farrow and Clint Barton.

[bonetiddies]

[Unfortunately, it is still Wednesday.]

Share the whole list, please.

[liuli]

You'll regret asking me that in 24 hours

[headmt]

SHARE THE WHOLE LIST PLEASE

[hes not cursed hes just always like this]

[liuli]

Oh no
My gla ss is missing
Ca n't read
Too bad

Two things. Mineo and I used his glass to look at the research lab. I also looked through the computer there normally last night, so I'll start with what I saw yesterday and then report the glass.

It was files detailing the transformations that some of the Avatars went through. The transformation took place over the span of a month, and there were pictures that showed the changes. There were also notes commenting on them, like detailing where to modify or flaws.

Specifically, I saw the ones for two Avatars, and it said they hit the maximum indulgence contribution.

[ can't believe [redacted] and [redacted] were max horny. anyway. ]

When we used the glass near the MRI, a computer near it unlocked. We got to see some MRI scans which were most likely of the monster, but that's just a guess. There were three scans.

1. This one was dated from September. The image was something not identifiable since it didn't really have a form other than small and there wasn't much activity.

2. Dated from December. It's bigger in this one, and shaped more like an egg. There is more activity going on.

3. Dated from March. It's a lot bigger, and didn't even fit the screen. There was a lot of activity going on, so it's something intelligent.

Anyway. Then the computer turned off because a certain piece of shit monster chewed on the cord. It stared at us and then said "hewwo" and we got thrown out of the room.

[liuli]

[ assuming it's not his turn in turn based combat now ]

Oh, that matches the scroll that I got. There were two who had "max' as one of their stats.

... Also, didn't the message we received with the scrolls and glasses attached say something similar? Or... spell something in a similar way?

"A SPECIAL WEWAWD"

[enfangs]

yeah
why would the monster be giving us these things though i don't get it

[dotcom]

I wouldn't know what the scrolls and glasses messages would say. Don't rub it in.

But the the personal item I received said that, and the boon prizes say "congwatulations"

It's uwu speak

[bonetiddies]

December is when the autopsy reports were dated - that must have been during those events.

The 'hewwo' wording is also suspiciously similar to the wording of our prize announcements.

Which Avatars?

[dotcom]

So, we know this has been a thing since at least September then.

And I'm going to refrain from saying who.

[enfangs]

[this is after the mini-event because white did not pause to use a scroll while fighting a cyclops]

used a scroll

Almost four months.

Things got buckwild fast, you know? After Mingjue lost his marbles I think more people got super bold. So many people just. Gone, in a month.

something idk it's scratched out misses Nanami, I think. Which I don't blame him, we're all missing people. For me it's more that I've seen so many dang dead bodies this month than I really would've liked. I can't get their faces out of my head. Hiccup and Eiji, mostly. Those fucked me up.

We're not talking about the other ones. I wrote about them already and I'm not revisiting that trauma! And you'd probably lose your marbles a bit at reading it twice anyway. Haha.

... This isn't something I'm used to, you know? We've been so OP for ages that it's weird to run into another thing that I can't manage to beat. We're not even sure what it is we're trying to beat, even? Or if it can be beaten. Or... if it even should be beaten.

Next week we're going to go deep into the Settlement. The nine of us, I guess. I think this is going to be my last letter. Hopefully when we explore what the fuck the weird thing at the back of the bank is, we'll have more answers.

Wish me luck.

Love,
your sister

wednesday, post mini-event

[aubins]

Scroll showed autopsy reports:

Clint Barton
The time of death was around 2am, December 18th. Cause of death: blunt force trauma to the head.

Update: Barton was killed defending Ms. Sagan.

Nie Huaisang
Time of death: 10am, December 19th. Cause of death: fatal stab wound. There is no questioning it, we all watched it happen and APPARENTLY chose not to do anything about it.

And executions:

Matthias Helvar
Execution date: December 16th.
Wrongfully selected. A pack of wolves descended in a ring to kill him off after the death of Nina Zenik.

Scott Pilgrim
Execution date: December 31st
Responsible for the death of Clint Barton and the attempted murder of Ms. Sagan. An army of clones entered the Settlement and fought Pilgrim in a battle royale until he could no longer stand.

It looks like there's more of these, but they weren't on my scroll.

thursday, mass text

[maelstroms]

checked the scroll today - i think we can all hazard a guess on what "it" refers to.

It was small. No, it was young. It didn't do much of anything in particular. It was hungry, and it was curious. Sometimes, it was angry, like a child would be when they're upset. We could change its mind, distract it.

And then it started wanting to play. It didn't matter what was played. At first. It wanted to play with almost all of us, and then it enjoyed playing with certain ones of us.

It was still hungry.

Then it stopped trying to see if we would play with it, and it made us play with it instead. It was difficult to change its mind. Griffith was probably the first. His heart is in the right place, but his head isn't on the right path to get there. I think he feels inadequate. I think he likes what this thing can do for him.

Since, by then, it started offering us deals.
