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.

[ . . . 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...?

[sengokus]

... I'm still not sure if that's the answer, but it is better than this.

[toesies]

There are no bad ideas in spit balling.

[sengokus]

Well, if it's like a baby... could we just... make it not be evil?

[are you sure there's no bad ideas, sheila? are you sure?]

[headmt]

Well I think we might have taught it to be a cat. At least a little. Maybe.

[sengokus]

See! That's not bad, cats are cute. Do we need to stick our head in the machines to link up with it?

[alteracion]

I think that ship sailed back when the Avatar's group ... birthed it?

[ hm. she regrets her word choice immediately ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . .

also taking a second because he hated that word choice]

Hm. But I mean - there's the creature, and then there's us, right? And the Avatars. So that's three groups where we gotta figure out exactly how to... I dunno, solve any of this?

[alteracion]

Is that even possible? Considering...

[ for their wish the avatars need them dead apparently hm ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he glances in the direction of the group that got the messages

and then back to grace]

.... maybe.

I don't know. I talked to Greed-san. [he... looks in a vaguely ceiling direction] This is what I was talking about. [and then back to grace] And they at least said that... it's a nice thought, for both of us to get our wishes?

So I dunno if that's possible or not. But if it is... I mean, sure I don't want Mahito or the killer robot to get their wishes, but I don't want to just immediately get all confrontational with the Avatars either...

[liuli]

When I asked about it, it was described as that the situation relating to the creature had gotten out of their control To say the least.

[alteracion]

No kidding.

[ the baby is feral. ]

[liuli]

[ my punctuation disappeared ]

I do know that the Avatars themselves were tied directly to it. It's been taking energy from them each week - on Fridays, and whenever else it decides to. Sometimes as a punishment. The effect of it was replicated in the adventure that Shi Qingxuan and the others went on.

[ he reaches up and taps the back of his neck. ]

[toesies]

What did they do to it...?

[toesies]

Like, send it to therapy?

[dotcom]

We can't even send the people here to therapy, so probably not.

[toesies]

Maybe it's the exact reason we don't have therapists among us. Smart baby.

[sengokus]

.... we don't have many good therapists here. People really don't want to talk about their feelings.

[toesies]

I know! It's so unhealthy.

[shiftingwinds]

I'm still not quite sure what therapy is.

[toesies]

Oh, sweetie...

[fisherwoman]

What's that?

[toesies]

Oh, no.

[enfangs]

—At least I know what that is, so I win!

[win what]
