WEEK 7 MINGLE
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.

... I mentioned it earlier but - Greed-san said something to me last time we talked, and uh, every time we talked. They said that I have to focus on my goal, and not lose sight of it. So I do think that to some degree, they were looking out for me, because I decided somewhere along the line that I want to help them out too, and I kept getting warnings that helping them might come with a price I wasn't ready to pay. Guess we know why now.
Then I said I'd like to figure out a way for us to both get our wishes - and they said that it'd be nice. So... I dunno. I think Greed-san's at least willing to consider it? But I'm going to talk to them later after this.
Sloth-san said that the creature wants to play, and that if they kept playing then it'd do something for them. Whatever they wanted? So probably their wishes? [some threads still ongoing please be nice to me]
So... I do think that the creature might be the root of this - even if we're not meant to trust the Avatars and we're sort of being set up against each other...?

“The end results might not be something you like or want to pursue.”
[ that’s all he has to say cause I’m driving home ]
Anyway, they didn’t tell me the possibility is zero.
no subject
[solid impression, giving gojou a nod of approval.]
... but yeah. I mean - it's risky, and I get why some people don't want to risk that. There's... a lot at stake here. But... what's the win condition for us, you know? Let the monster kill us, we all die, Avatars win?
But... how do we get our wishes if we don't try to find another way?
no subject
[ everything seems jumbled up. ]
Either way, seeing how both parties could win is something I'm interested in.
[ but, yeah, he isn't going to force everyone to do that. they are all individuals. ]

... yeah. I think that it's definitely the main cause of all our problems - but the issue is that it's also supposedly tied to our wishes too.

I sort of agree - but I do think that we need more like... action items? Knowing the background of this place is helpful, but if the books can tell us the truth about what we need to do in order to all get what we want then...
Isn't that simpler?
