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.

...if there is something like that, maybe it's accessible from the floor where the Avatars stay?

Since it's... [able to rush over and act as a fuck alarm] Known to get to them quite easily on Fridays.

[headmt]

I think it-- comes up the elevator shaft, yes? We've seen it do that.

[thinking.]

What if we get into there?

[shiftingwinds]

...try to follow it back the way it came?

[alteracion]

There wasn't anything like that that Medb and I could see using the glass, but we weren't... I don't know, "awake" for that long either.

[shiftingwinds]

[she shrugs]

It was just a thought, since we know it... has gone there often.

[alteracion]

It's climbed the elevator shaft, I can tell you that much.

[shiftingwinds]

...is there maybe a floor beneath this one...?

[alteracion]

I have no idea. The only new button we got when we climbed in was "The Tip".

[shiftingwinds]

If it comes out of the shaft, then maybe we could find more if we went into it ourselves...? But that seems like it could be dangerous, too, so it's probably a job for people who are good at climbing around.

[enfangs]

I don't mind trying. I'm pretty good at that kind of stuff.

[alteracion]

[ can we not say shaft after she just said tip ]

Actually, Medb reminded me... It sort of clawed at a wall before vanishing and then being on the side of the satellite? I thought it had teleported, but maybe it was opening a secret passageway we couldn't see?

[fergalicious]

Didn't it claw at a space in a wall, though? Before it disappeared and showed up at the satellite?

[ or did she imagine that ]

[alteracion]

... Oh, you're right. I thought it was just being a pest again and teleported, since it flickered out of existence, but if it's on a different... plane or whatever, maybe it activated a portal?

[fergalicious]

If Takeru's theory about where people disappear on Thursdays is right, then it could be a portal.

Since we had to walk through a portal to come back here.

[alteracion]

So... we just need to find one of those portals? Or make one appear, I guess.

[fergalicious]

Yeah, that's the tricky part.

[dotcom]

We'd have to figure out how to locate it with our resources, since even the Avatars can't. They apparently didn't even know the satellite was out there until we did, so there's that.

[ unless that was a lie but it seems useless to lie about that so he's just going to roll with it ]

[shiftingwinds]

It's a shame it doesn't leave footprints that we could follow back...

[or like. shed. too bad they can't follow the fuwurby fur back to its lair.]

[dotcom]

I guess the Avatars should have copied Harrow's ink trick.

[shiftingwinds]

Maybe she could come up with another idea for them! She has a lot of really great ideas.

[bonetiddies]

[Stop perceiving her.]

[shiftingwinds]

[why?! harrow is great]

[headmt]

It was my ink.

[dotcom]

[ he hands molly a donut. ]

[headmt]

[He pushes it out of the way, because he doesn't want it, he wants his share of the credit for the ink trick

but he realizes he's touched takeru's hand after a second]

...
