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.

Yes.

[wow. anyway.]

Just to clarify - the room that changed was the room you were standing in? The Common Room?

No, it was the room on the screen. I think it was in the satellite.

Is it too late to ask what a satellite is?

[ low key +1 ]

I read about it on the Internet. I think they use it in fights.

[Even more strained:]

What is the internet?!

Oh, let's go to the PC Room after this.

I thought we weren't supposed to use meetings to set up dates! I've been fussed at for it before.

[at least he feels okay enough to joke like this?]

[that manages to make mineo laugh]

Maybe it's only a date if I buy you dinner first? Which I can still do. Um, if you want.

[but he does seem happy that molly's feeling okay!!]

[shitposting the pain away.]

Like I'd ever say no.

[

he's embarrassed because]

I thought you were going to say no!!!!

[BUT HE'S JUST GOING TO TURN AWAY NOW AND TRY TO FOCUS ON THE MEETING]

[WHAT]

Is this a Despair indulgence ... ?

It's the thing that makes books appear on the computers!

[ don't let her know more than you molly... ]

Oh. Sounds boring.

[its not]

... it's more than that.

Oh yeah, it also has videos.

Nyaahahaha!

[ She just

reaches over and pushes Yuel's cheeks together. ]

[ Goes pbbbt on her grasp. ]

[THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER HE'S SO HAPPY AND ALSO LAUGHING]

You really learned fast, Yuel-chan!

[ Laughs along with him! They're both just laughing! ]

Thanks fer showin' me, Ennie!

... A big hunk of metal that orbits around an even bigger thing in space?

[She is not a science nerd.]

[actually this makes sense, sure.]

Got it. So something is orbiting this place. And that something is where the creature lives?

That's what it sounds like. Too bad we don't know how it's getting from here to there. I would love to barricade that shit.

It's a piece of equipment that typically orbits a planet or a body with gravitational pull. It can be used to amplify - typically, its use is for sending long range messages.

So it leaves us with the question of what the creature is trying to amplify.

[ ming yi seems strangely

pleasant

at the moment, if pensive about this, but is just vibing. ]

Maybe it'll be looking for more "fuel," or a way to leave itself.
