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.

Aoi / Graveyard

[bonetiddies]

[It feels very weird to talk about this while Aoi is like. Probably right there. But also, let's talk about all the stuff she said?]

Aoi doesn't seem able to remember everything that happened where she was - [Whether that's because she has amnesia or because she's just Aoi, who can say] - but apparently the dead have been strategizing about how to deal with the creature.

The theory over there is apparently that the creature is some sort of AI, which is behaving in a way other than intended? It is meant to learn from us, but instead it became this?

[Please share other things you learned in your threads I didn't read everything.]

[headmt]

Apparently it's called the Unintegrated Watchman Unit.

[dotcom]

Great.

[toesies]

UWU...

[bonetiddies]

Unintegrated.

[Hmm.]

What would be integrated?

[headmt]

Maybe there's more of them.

[just saying!]

[toesies]

... Wait, that word was in Vira's letter, too. Right? Something, unintegrated, couldn't fix?

[enfangs]

This sounds like a bunch of bullshit, but at this point, I'd believe it.

[fergalicious]

Awful.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi's not sure that's just a theory...?

[bonetiddies]

No? Where did you get this information? Do you remember?

[liuli]

... I learned 'unintegrated' from Wrath, yesterday, when I brought it up. The creature wasn't pleased, apparently.

[gamerbrain]

Boop boop... Not sure...

But no one was talking about it like it was only a theory.

[sengokus]

.... so it really did just learn poorly from indulgence, killing, and lying....

[we're bad parents]

Maybe we just taught it wrong stuff? Ah - but Aoi-chan mentioned that the Avatars can still text the deceased, so...? I don't know how much they can tell us though, considering that the messages we get are still scrambled.

[headmt]

You know, when we put Frumpkin in the machine that reads dreams, it did seem to start acting a little more cat like.

[sengokus]

... is that... machine... meant to partially link us to the creature....?

[maelstroms]

If it's meant to be integrated, and to learn from us, that would make some kind of sense.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . ]

It just seems kinda dangerous but... I guess if it needs to learn from good influences, there's still some really nice people here...?

[he's not jumping to the immediate suggestion but. well?]

[shiftingwinds]

If that's the case, it's too bad we didn't have access to the machine right after eating that cake.

[they could have taught the AI to be christian]

[sengokus]

[ . . . ]

Do we have any left? Did anyone put it in the freezer?

[the christianity cake?]

[maelstroms]

[ this makes him laugh a little. ]

I'm pretty sure anyone that didn't eat it probably got rid of it, after what happened...

[enfangs]

Well, don't stick my head in there.

[alteracion]

Oh. That explains the-- memory? Of it bursting out from a computer and why it can connect to our phones.

[fluffier]

[ holds grace's hand ]

[alteracion]

[ oh okay. hand holding ]
