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.

[ this is the face of someone who expected this. ]

So. What have you been doing for fun over there.

The other day Aoi got to float around in an innertube! Before that, Aoi and Kaz got to do a treasure hunt!

Wow.

[ wow. ]

Did you guys send us cake?

[ aoi looks. away. ]

Aoi was uninvolved. Aoi doesn't know anything about that.

[ he grabs her face and turns it back to face him. ]

Then why are you hiding from me? How did you guys send that to us?

[ abuse! abuse!!!! ]

Aoi didn't do it! Aoi only saw what happened after...!

But do you know how it was sent to us?

Aoi's not really sure because Aoi didn't do anything like that... But...

People did things? And then things happened to you guys...

[ that's very vague but okay. ]

... right.

The people who died in the earlier weeks, are they alright?

[ THEY KEEP SEEING THE FUCKIN MONSTER SNACKING ON KAZ??? ]

The first couple of people are missing.

But everyone else is doing okay. When we get hurt, we heal up again. We have the same weekly effects as you guys.

If we don't indulge we'll get turned into fuel before you guys will.

Beauregard and Tamaki, right? But Kaz and--

[ a pause as he remembers who died that week. ah. the robot. ]

But Kaz is still doing fine, even though it was only a week later?

Yup. Kaz is doing good.

He fell down the stairs and broke all his bones and then later we got stabbed a bunch, but we're fine.

Ah. Sure, I guess.

[ he! fuckin guesses!! sure!! ]

I wonder why there isn't really a noticeable change then...? Maybe Tamaki and Beauregard weren't indulging?

[ did they get bad ended because beau is a lesbian and wouldn't fuck tamaki? ]

That was Aoi's guess. It also hurts everyone for a while when new people show up. Aoi's not sure if that's part of it...

So maybe they became fuel. The dead are the first to be used up, and they were the only ones dead...?

[ he sighs... and then idly pats her head as he thinks. ]

It sounds like the most likely scenario... how long do you guys hurt for?

[ nice, free head pats. ]

When Aoi first showed up, everyone was really weak for a long time. That happens every time because it takes energy for us to be there or something.

But afterwards getting hurt would heal up in about twenty minutes. Or if you die you wake up again in the blood pool.

How many times did you all die over there.

Aoi only died that once...! In the bakery.

You have a bakery...?

[ wow......... ]

What does it look like there?

Umm... It's like a city? There's a blood river, and lots of white vines.

And we have lots of places. The bakery, the beach, the airport, the meth lab, the blacksmith...
