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.

CROSS STITCH THEORIES

[sengokus]

[well.

mineo is going to try to quietly and politely position himself away from the conga line of sticky. and in doing so he'll notice the assorted hoops that have been in every room. he points at them]

Probably a smaller note but - do we wanna talk about these? They're everywhere, so they might be important? Even in the bathroom...

[enfangs]

[also staying away from people]

Are they supposed to be messages from the dead or something...?

[alteracion]

They've been sending us weird stuff every Wednesday.

[ cake. ]

[toesies]

And on the weekends, if we think the flour was them.

[enfangs]

Too bad we can never figure out the point of their... gifts.

[sengokus]

Maybe...? They're pretty uplifting.

...

Except for the skeleton war. Maybe still including the skeleton war, depending on how you look at it.

[enfangs]

I have no idea what the fuck that's supposed to mean.

[dotcom]

[ he's just glaring at mineo like somehow takeru getting stuck to people is his fault ]

[sengokus]

—I haven't done anything today!!

[today]

[chevaleros]

[ from the conga line, ]

Is this the dead trying to communicate with us again...?

[dotcom]

But what exactly are they trying to say?

[sengokus]

.... well, I think that the first one might be related to the dead coming back somehow, right? If you interpret dying as falling - and their glory will be returning?

[please he knows nothing about poetry or metaphors]

[toesies]

... I like two of them, but the third seems a little— questionable.

[bonetiddies]

I don't see why.

[headmt]

I don't think my grave said anything. Is that what happened to me? Is this the skeleton war?

[bonetiddies]

[A skeletal hand suddenly brushes to the back of his neck

Just kidding she doesn't have the mobility for this.]

[sengokus]

[HE LOOKS SO ALARMED]

Is this the skeleton war?!

[maelstroms]

[


he seems to be in a cranky mood, at this point, but at least that means he's normal again! also staying away from people. ]

I would wager the first two have potential to actually be useful, whereas the last one is... questionably so.

[1/2]

[sengokus]

Oh! Welcome back Ming Yi-san!

[mineo claps a hand on his shoulder]

[sengokus]

[







oh - ]

Oh no!!

[callmemeg]

[ glances tiredly at mineo. ]

Well, at least one curse has worn off.

[bonetiddies]

We should talk about this skeleton war.

[She seems very interested.]

Is it meant to suggest that the dead are more active than we think? [That may be the real message but also she's definitely taking it too seriously.]

[dotcom]

[ she is a little too interested but ok ]

Well, we already know they're active over there. Maybe it means we can bring them back?

[liuli]

[ also avoiding the sticky. just as far away as possible. ]

I suppose the presents from the dead have caused all sorts of chaos. [ order and chaos, order and chaos... ] Perhaps passing along a message within them.

[ virtue endgame!! ]

As for the latter... [ wrinkles nose ] 'skeleton war', perhaps we could find their 'graves'? Whatever blood portal or whatever it was that Aoi said.

[sengokus]

[he tilts his head at that]

Maybe... I do think that maybe we're onto something - Artificial Intelligence uh... works sort of like learning from other... things? [oh. oh god. he's already struggling and he's looking for takeru] Like it has to observe other behaviors in order to build its own.... right? Like a kid?

[ONCE AGAIN ASKING FOR A NERD SOS]

So maybe it is about finding an opportunity in that chaos...

I still don't get the skeleton war and I don't think I will.
