7rings | 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.

[. . . Pats her on the head. So awkwardly.]

Can you explain what happened?

Aoi was going to the grocery store for a snack. And then Aoi was here, instead.

[ ... ]

Aoi's still hungry...

. . . Let's get you something to eat from the vending machine. What would you like?

[This is in no way what she meant, but also, it's Aoi.]

You don't mind being back here, do you? What was it like, where you were?

Chocolate!

[ sure why not. aoi will start heading towards the vending machines with harrow! ]

Hmm, Aoi misses the beach, but Aoi also missed everyone here that isn't there!

[They can go to the vending machines and get some chocolate.]

. . . There's a beach here, now. If you like that. Mmm, and we will likely have a lot of things to discuss, unfortunately, and they will probably not be all that fun.

[ yay ]

Aoi's not sure she'll be any help during discussions...

I think you will be a considerable help, if you put your mind to it.

[This is such a lie. But it's fine. She's happy they have her back. Getting a chocolate from the vending machine for her.]

Anything you know about what it's like over there, and how people are feeling, might be important for us to hear of.

[ oh!! oh, harrow believes in her!!!! she brightens up considerably! ]

Aoi will work really hard.

Aoi remembers that everyone was upset that we might all get left for dead! And we had a big whiteboard to keep track of ideas!

[She believes in her so much. I swear.]

Well. We don't intend to leave anyone for dead, if we can help it. [Except HK-47. Bye, bitch.] I wonder if you can remember anything the whiteboard said?

That Lust and Wrath and Sloth were gonna help us.

Um... And people who should be called on by the living that would be helpful...? Aoi wasn't on that list...

[Looks at the camera to hell like she's on the Office.]

Well, you did send a letter to us. That was helpful. [No it wasn't. She said 'hi.'] Do you know who else sent letters? I think Mahito and Eleanor sent one to Vira, Douman sent one to me, Steven, Omi, and Law sent one to Sasazuka, you and Kaz sent one to Sheila, and Luca and Misa sent one to Gojou, right? Do you remember who sent a letter to Ming Yi?

But the useful part was blocked out. The part about...

[ she? squints? and trails off.

then changes the subject i guess! ]

Aoi's not sure who sent which letters.

[Hmm.]

You were saying something, and then you stopped. Did it become hard to remember? Or just hard to form the words?

Boop boop... Aoi doesn't remember...

Kaz wrote the letter, but Aoi's not sure what it was about anymore or why...

That's all right. [Patting her on the head again.] You're doing well. It seems possible that there are certain things you can't remember, now that you're here.

[So all of Aoi's useless answers up until now weren't her fault, probably! Probably. . .]

. . . Was there anyone there with you, besides the people who were here and died?
