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.

observing room findings!

[callmemeg]

So we took a closer look at the observation room, and while there wasn’t much, the star charts were all covered in slime, and there were a bunch of weird prints on them.

[ she points a thumb at mineo! ]

He looked through the telescope, and... saw the creature’s beak? With all of its - [ she makes a face, this is so gross ] - human teeth, and a big eye. And because that wasn’t creepy enough, it spoke to us.

[ she pitches her voice a bit higher to mimic it: ]

“Hewwo? Wooking?” [ and dropping back to her normal pitch - ] It sounded angry after that, and it yelled “no,” but the screech...

[ touches her forehead. ow? ow. ]

[sengokus]

[he's also shuddering at the memory but - ]

Oh... I don't know if it's relevant but there was this satellite thing floating out there too? There were words on it, presumably, but hard to read. It was a little hard to remember, after...

[fuckin. creepy monster.]

But it sounds like it's pretty mad.

[shiftingwinds]

[


hm. that's unfortunate. she looks between mineo and meg with concern, her gaze lingering on the way meg touches her forehead.]

Are you both okay...? It - damaged our hearing by screeching, in the vents, so if either of you are hurting...

[sengokus]

[he's rubbing his temples a bit but - ]

This headache's pretty persistent...? But ah - it's nothing I can't power through. I can still hear you okay, Shi-san... so don't worry about it too much.

[enfangs]

Need some painkillers?

[sengokus]

Oh, can you get them for Meg-san?

[enfangs]

And what about you, asshole?

[but sure, he's taking out a bottle and popping out a few for meg, if she wants some.]

[callmemeg]

[ yes she will take some, thank you ]

My hero.

[enfangs]

A reward for good work. Gu Yun and I didn't really find anything in the Medbay, so you two got the short end of the deal.

[sengokus]

Only if you have some to spare...?

[he thinks he can work through a headache so he's not the priority here]

[enfangs]

Literally haven't used any since I pilfered these, so...

[mineo get some too whoo]

[shiftingwinds]

[


i look away for an hour and a half to do my job and you guys start a fight and thievery discourse]

[enfangs]

[do not perceive

or do because white's not ashamed of being a thief, unfortunately]

[callmemeg]

[ she smiles! her hand is still on her temple, though. ]

It's just a headache, Sunshine. I'm sure it'll be fine.

[shiftingwinds]

...if it doesn't go away eventually, say something, okay...?

[callmemeg]

Mm, I promise to be a good girl and not downplay anything if it keeps up.

[ teasingly: ] Maybe I can teach you a thing or two about that.

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha...

[called out! she smiles, though]

I'll try to follow your example.

[dotcom]

Seems like it's really getting pissed at us, huh.

[headmt]

Bunch of drug-stealing, murder-plotting, sex-having rowdy customers like us? I'd be rather annoyed too.

[dotcom]

I thought it wanted you all to be doing those things.

[headmt]

Maybe the lesson is we should all become more virtuous, upstanding citizens?

[he sounds like he really hopes this isn't the case]

[dotcom]

We are several weeks and murder trials too late for that one.

[headmt]

There's also the messy, complicated moral question that arises when you try and proclaim somehow abstaining from sex to be more "virtuous" when sex itself isn't really an act that's either good or ill without context but that's just my opinion.

[dotcom]

Let's try not to relive last Wednesday's discussions.

[headmt]

Fair enough! Only saying that I see it a more sharing is caring light!
