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 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.

[alteracion]

And then there's... what we do after that.

[fergalicious]

That's what the books are going to help us decide, right?

And... well, I still need to pick when it's best to talk to someone dead and see what they have to say about all this, too.

[dotcom]

We probably don't want to wait too long for that one, so we don't run out of time.

[fergalicious]

Tonight, then? Or?

[ watch the mods throw something awful at us on friday ]

[dotcom]

Well... we'll see what everyone thinks.

Can you pick who you talk to?

[fergalicious]

Yep. I can pick.

[dotcom]

Okay, so we need to figure out who it'll be then.

[fergalicious]

I was thinking Steven or Eleanor.

[ but she'll listen to alternative suggestions or objections, etc ]

[dotcom]

I think those two are fine.

[ very helpful even if sasazuka is still spiteful about the dog thing ]

[gamerbrain]

Those are good choices.

[headmt]

They've both been helpful with their notes.

[bonetiddies]

I agree - whichever of them you think best, I'm sure either would be a good choice.

[mukagen]

I think Law is a good choice, too.

[fergalicious]

[ immediately: ]

No.

[toesies]

Their notes have been some of the most coherent, so good choices.

[shiftingwinds]

[she nods!]

They'd both be good choices, I think.

[bonetiddies]

I think we ought to do it tonight or tomorrow. We haven't heard from them since the weekend. [Other than Aoi.] There may be new developments we need to be warned of before Thursday night.

[dotcom]

Agreed, especially since we don't really know how much time we have left.

[fergalicious]

[ She nods. She doesn't disagree. ]

If anyone wants to give me priority topics, I'll listen.

[ a beat. ]

Even if I still don't know how this communication is going to work.

[bonetiddies]

I don't know if it's necessary for us to prioritize; they know what we've been discussing, we just don't know what they've been discussing. Whoever we speak to on the other side may as well set the agenda for what we need to hear.

I'd say anything that didn't come across correctly through the glitched messages, or whether their thinking as changed. What they need us to do.

[dotcom]

Mm. Anything that they think is a high priority for us to know, basically. If they're watching us now, then they can have some time to figure out what to say.

[shiftingwinds]

[she nods]

What we're doing affects all of them, and the problem is they haven't really had a lot of say in our plans, since... you know, the glitches. So I agree that we should let them get what they feel is most important for us to know across.
