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.

Interesting hallucination so far. I've heard that I can listen to things, and that thing I already knew about Beau being gone.

The, ah-- dead from the previous round? Gone too? One of the letters suggested they might not be?

[gamerbrain]

Aoi's still not a hallucination... But Aoi's still sorry for not being more helpful.

Aoi didn't meet anyone new, there.

[headmt]

[just putting his hands on his head and rolling it around]

Don't have to apologize. Probably it's just my own mind refusing to accept things still.

[just refusing to hear that part about the. not being a hallucination.]

You see that creature at all?

[gamerbrain]

Aoi's sure you'll be able to move past this. Maybe you just need time.

[ ... ]

The UWU thingy? Aoi hasn't seen it since last time.

[headmt]

[maybe! maybe.]

Last time?

[gamerbrain]

When Aoi got stabbed a bunch with Endorsi and Medb and Shi Qingxuan.

[headmt]

Oh. Right.

[The adventure.]

Did you learn anything about it? I don't know what-- UWU, you said?

[gamerbrain]

... Unintegrated Watchman Unit! It's an AI but it's all glitched and doing the wrong stuff.

[headmt]

[boy that's a lot of words to hit a ye olde with]

Am I-- Is that another language? AI? Is it starting to wear off?

[gamerbrain]

AI is Artificial Intelligence.

Boop boop... Kind of like how Aoi isn't a real person. Aoi is a character from a game.

[ wait that comparison makes it seem like the AI is alive, since aoi is alive now? oh well. ]

[headmt]

You may be a hallucination and not a real person, but it's one I'm very glad to see! I don't think you're simply a game.

[pulling her head over. To gently smooch the top of it. what did you take molly.]

So it's-- fake? A machine? If it's . . . broken, then what is it supposed to be doing?

[gamerbrain]

[ aww, she smiles! ]

It was supposed to watch us and play with us and learn from us.
