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.

[ he definitely can! ]

You should chew carefully...

[sengokus]

I don't think chewing has anything to do with it when you startled me?!

[well he's going to just

abandon everything and hug her then]

You're really here?! Holy shit!

[gamerbrain]

[ oh! she seems startled by this hug, but pats his back. there, there? ]

As much as Aoi can be "really" anything, anyway.

[sengokus]

I don't know what that means, but at least that's how I know it's you.

[he sniffs a little bit. he's not getting emotional. it's fine. but he'll straighten up after that and pat her head once before putting some more distance between them]

How'd you come back...? Or are you just as surprised as us?

[gamerbrain]

Aoi's just as surprised as everyone else. Aoi still can't access any kind of UI menu or anything. There was no save point, or portal, or mission today...

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he just tilts his head in more confusion.]

Maybe it's Queen Medb's item...? Beats me... But... well, I'm glad that you're here anyway. [he won't sweat the details!]

Did the deceased have anything important to tell us? Do you need anything?

[gamerbrain]

Aoi doesn't need anything.

Umm... Boop boop boop... We just had a meeting... [ but what did they talk about... she was spacing out... ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . ]

Cool! How'd it go? Is everyone getting along over there?

[he's just. trying to help jog her memory maybe.]

[gamerbrain]

Yeah! Everyone's getting along just fine! Everyone is really organized and makes charts and lists of stuff. And Douman is shy now!

[ okay? ]

[sengokus]

Oh, awesome! Do you remember what any of the charts or lists looked like?

[but he looks happy to hear it!]

And - uh, good for Ashiya-san...? I hope that they're doing okay. I miss a lot of the people over there...

[gamerbrain]

[ she is thinking for a very long moment and then ]

Furby Fuck Heist was canceled.

[sengokus]

[





huh!]

Wow! I understand all of those words individually?

[gamerbrain]

Lust said it was a bad idea.

[sengokus]

I see.

[oh]

Wait, Lust could talk to you all?

[gamerbrain]

We could still text the NPCs.

[sengokus]

Oh, that's good to know. Thanks.

Was there anyone else there besides the people we've lost? You've heard of the last rounds and stuff, right?

[gamerbrain]

Aoi's heard. But there was no one extra around.

[sengokus]

Huh... I wonder what one of the texts we got was about...?

Did you all coordinate how to send messages to us?

[gamerbrain]

We tried to... A little... Aoi left the writing up to Kaz for ours.

[sengokus]

[nods...]

That one went to Sheila-san, right? I think he did the best he could, probably. [he has no idea what kaz's best is or isn't]

Do you remember anyone else talking about what they'd write in theirs?

[gamerbrain]

Yeah. He was mad, because no one ever figured out...

[ ........ something?

anyway. ]

... Dunno. Aoi's not really good with the complicated stuff.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he tilts his head at that.]

Figured out....? [he glances in the direction of wherever sheila is before giving aoi a smile]

Well, I think you're doing great so far, Aoi-chan. Thanks.

[gamerbrain]

Really?

Aoi's trying really hard...!

[sengokus]

Oh hell yeah!

[he'll hold his hand out to her for a hi5]

You're succeeding too! We're super lucky you're back with us!

[gamerbrain]

[ !! she high fives him! ]

Aoi knows it would probably be better to have anyone else... But Aoi's still glad to be here!
