WEEK 7 MINGLE

[probe]

POPULATION: 18 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 death of Tartaglia Childe...well, perhaps there isn't any tension at all? Hard to say. 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 eighth 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.

If you aren't too distracted, that is. For the most part, it may feel as though there isn't anything strange about this week. Everything proceeds as normal and life on the base is calm again. But every now and then, you'll feel a burning in your hand right where your tattoo is as it loses its color and fades to black temporarily. A sudden swell courses through your veins, almost as if being injected with a higher amount of your specific indulgence. You'll find it nearly impossible to do anything else until you act on it, draining the indulgence away and bringing color back to your marking. This won't always happen, and this won't always happen at a convenient time. It may be best to plan ahead. After all...if you ignore it for too long, you may find yourself changing. Those aligned with Envy may find themselves with several new eyes. Those aligned with Gluttony may find claws and a tail beginning to grow. Those aligned with Pride may feel a sharp pain in their head as a crown of thorns embeds itself into their skin. But the sooner you act, the sooner these changes will disappear.

Dedication's sweet, isn't it? Do try to give it your all.

POST-MURDER BENEFITS

[sengokus]

[mineo is vibing and he arrived with a donut that he'll be eating through the meeting - also with some fluffy white clouds hanging out around him? sloth's are so cute hello]

I don't think it's actually super relevant to what we have to do now, but I thought it'd at least be worth mentioning that if you committed a murder and got away with it here, you can choose between either receiving an item from home or a power from your Avatar.

The power I got didn't come from a text - Sloth-san just held my hand and it... happened? [he shrugs, but also seems to roll out his shoulder after as a reflex] Just in case people were wondering if anyone got something from it.

[but it's pretty small compared to actual new stuff]

[bonetiddies]

Are these powers akin to what is typically handed out? Or more like what we get from returning from those adventures - fairly powerful?

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . he is thinking about something for two seconds before - ]

Honestly, it seemed kinda powerful? I got to pick between two - Sloth-san was nice enough to help guide me to an answer I'd like. But the one I got is called Dreamweaver?

I don't know if anyone's heard that power name before.

[alteracion]

I had that the week Misa tried to kill me.

[sengokus]

[nods!]

Then that's the exchange. Oh - and Sloth-san gave me a different one before the murder too, but I didn't use it at all.

[alteracion]

So do you still have that one?

[sengokus]

[nodding]

Yeah!

[and then, realizing late because he's bad at math]

... wait, do I have three powers? I think I do?

[alteracion]

So ... maybe people who murdered and got away with it could have had three powers?

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . he's just closing his eyes]

I - maybe. Maybe that explain Mahito's.... everything?

[alteracion]

Good to know... belatedly...

[ is it. ]

[sengokus]

[he just sighs at that]

... I guess so. Well, I guess that explains... some things. Just another lie or half-truth to the pile.

[bonetiddies]

Oh. Yes, I have. I know of one or two people who have had that one.

[sengokus]

[nodding more!]

Those are the perks as far as I can tell - and the idea that maybe it gives you more indulgence? I dunno. I didn't really enjoy much of it. Maybe that's Despair.

But otherwise we just talked about the monster - Sloth-san referred to it as a baby...

[dotcom]

Mm. Gluttony said that they didn't think it has reached adulthood yet, so we're basically dealing with tantrums.

[sengokus]

[a nod

and since grace took one of takeru's donuts, he's going to offer the one he has in his hand out to him?]

Want?

And yeah, I mean - it's talking like a kid... But I can't really figure out what it wants...

[dotcom]

[ he takes the donut. ]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[sengokus]

Yeah! It was meant for you anyway. I took a long time trying to remember all the different seasonal flavors, you know?

I didn't get why you gave it to me, but I thought you would've been angrier if I didn't take it.

[dotcom]

Why else would I give you one? Are you really that dense? If I give you something, then just take it.

[ he takes a bite of the donut. ]

[sengokus]

Why are you asking me questions about it? I already told you I don't know why you gave it to me.

[bonetiddies]

Much like an infant, I don't know that it wants anything, more than to feed and to be entertained.

From what I understand, it could kill us itself, but what it likes is to get us to kill each other. Supposedly, the fact that we were killing one another is what made it active, and also what was keeping it satisfied. But if we stop, it may grow more aggressive.

[enfangs]

[... that gets a dark smile out of white.]

The moment you stop being useful to someone, you're disposed of. Isn't that how it usually goes?

[bonetiddies]

I would think of it more like a cat toying with its food. If we stop being fun, won't it just finish its meal?

Well, I think we've stopped being fun, now.

[enfangs]

Probably. And I think we're all pretty tired of being someone else's entertainment, either way.

[sengokus]

[ . . . well.]

... based on the weekend, I'm starting to think that we've stopped. So... is there another way to keep it occupied that isn't bloodshed maybe?

[toesies]

Why can't it play violent video games like every other kid...?
