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.

[ she frowns a little. ]

Mm, it seemed that Mahito was confirming he recognized some of the dead from his world. [ maybe one of the 32 from that list. ] I wonder what state they're in...

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he just looks more anxious at that, pulling on his own jacket.]

... I don't know.

It's weird then, isn't it? That they're around, but...

[beau and tamaki might not be?]

[headmt]

[yeah uh someone might have been thinking that exact same thing because he just quickly sort of looks away when the topic comes up]

[sengokus]

[this is why we need therapy

he's going to reach out to molly's shoulder and squeeze once before letting go and focusing again]

[shiftingwinds]

...that is pretty weird.

[her brow furrows.]

[sengokus]

[ . . . his brow furrows]

Do we know... where they are? Who else is with them? I know that we got an answer a few weeks ago that the souls are being kept and maybe... watched by someone else...?

[enfangs]

The only thing I know is that weeks ago, Sloth said they weren't the one in charge of dealing with the dead. When I asked who was, they said it was a secret.

So... yeah, it sounds like someone watches over them.

[sengokus]

Yeah. That's the last I heard of it - I just wasn't sure if anyone got a more detailed answer from another Avatar.

But - thanks, White.

[shiftingwinds]

...

[she shakes her head]

If that's something we've gotten an answer to, it hasn't been shared with me. [...] It would - with the messages coming through glitched, it would... be good if we could figure out some way for them to speak more plainly, but...

[she has no idea how to stop the glitching]

[dotcom]

It doesn't seem like they know what will be glitched or not, so it's hard to say.

[shiftingwinds]

Right... that seems fairly unpredictable.

[she bites her lip]

[sengokus]

It's okay, Shi-san. [he gives her a smile that's meant to be reassuring] I was just asking more to see if anyone had an answer at all, not that I expected you or anyone in specific to know.

But you're right. It'd be nice if our messages weren't glitched - I wonder why they got worse? Only yours was glitched last time, right? Or maybe one other? But mine was fine...

[shiftingwinds]

...it's just frustrating not to be able to come up with some kind of answer.

[her brow furrows]

Right. And when I asked about it, I was told that next time they should say less because less is more, which... led me to believe it was about what was being said, rather than the length itself, since what I actually received was much shorter than the messages others got.

But maybe we're at a point where everything they need to say is the sort of thing that risks being glitched...?

[toesies]

If it's about what they say, I think that's yet another reason why Ming Yi's message is a load of crap. If it was actually important, wouldn't it be totally fucked up?

[dotcom]

I did think that was strange. Only the bottom half is glitched.

[shiftingwinds]

...that's true. The others were a lot more messed up.

[headmt]

Only the part where whoever signed it would have been.

[dotcom]

When we were able to read the signatures for other ones...

[ hm. ]

Although if the glitching is meant to make the messages harder for us to understanding, only censoring that one part does the same for this one.

[toesies]

More points in favor of Grell being a bitch as far as I'm concerned.

[dotcom]

I do think it's likely, yes.

[enfangs]

[white glances over at gojou, then a worried look at mineo, and then at vira.]

... That name at the end of the note—I saw it in the security room, and Gojou confirmed he knew who it was. So...

[mukagen]

Yeah! And 7:3 refers to Nanami, my junior... Really, getting into this kind of mess?

[ says him, in this mess. ]

Whoever is listening! Make sure to keep Mahito on a tight leash!

[chevaleros]

[ she nods. ]

Then it does seem likely that the dead from before exist in some capacity, if our dead can see and perceive them in some way. [ but did they go the way of beau and tamaki... ]
