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.

[what the fuck did half of that mean]

Well, the thing sang at me and Gu Yun and then threw a pod at us, so it's annoyed at people trying to talk to it.

[gu yun can explain better,]

I also checked out the elevator shaft. [when? assume he slunk off during this meeting at some point.] The walls are too slick to climb properly, so I couldn't take a close look, but there didn't seem to be any hidden floors or passageways from what I could make out, at least.

[dotcom]

I don't think we'll be able to just see it, if it makes sense. It would be something really difficult to find, so we wouldn't just run into it on accident.

[enfangs]

[he shrugs.]

Probably. Thought I'd take a look anyway.

[liuli]

Oh, in the medbay. It sang a song at us. [ for the joy of everyone, he does not sing along, but recites the lyrics. ] "Stop calling, stop calling, I don't wanna talk anymore."

It kept repeating for a while, and then what White said.

[alteracion]

Alejandro?

[ that's not the title of the song. ]

[shiftingwinds]

...what?

[alteracion]

It's a song? I haven't heard it in years, I was pretty young when it came out.

[ gen z... ]

[shiftingwinds]

I... see.

[she does not, in fact, see. but she'll just accept it.]

[liuli]

Bless you.

[alteracion]

I think that's the name of the guy in the song she wants to stop talking?

[ grace was like, 8 so she can't remember that these are not even the same songs ]

[toesies]

Beyoncé?!

[she just erased lady gaga]

[liuli]

What.

[toesies]

Beyoncé!

[chevaleros]

[ francy probably already brought this up but there's been a lot of town halls okay ]

I believe Sasazuka reported the noise we heard in the common room—a sort of distant whistling of air—which did remind me of a passageway.

Could something be on that floor?

[shiftingwinds]

Whistling of air... like a draft of some kind?

[liuli]

Now that I think about it, the bar in the common room - there's a dripping noise, too, that never seems to go away.

[toesies]

That's what they were checking out when they heard the whistling, right?

[looking across harrow to confirm with vira]

[maelstroms]

I tried to find it, early on in our stay here, but couldn't pinpoint where it was. A closer look at the common room may benefit us as a whole.

[headmt]

[looking around. aren't we IN the common room.]

[shiftingwinds]

...actually, if there is some kind of passageway between here and the satellite, doesn't it almost have to be on this floor? Because it's the only one we had access to from the start.

[...]

Although... I guess it could have accessed other parts of the station even if we couldn't, so maybe not.

[chevaleros]

That was my first thought, yes. We didn't feel a breeze in the room itself, we just heard one.

It was too far away to really identify where it was coming from, though.

[shiftingwinds]

...but still near enough that it could be heard. So - it's somewhere to start.

[toesies]

... Okay, so what rooms on that floor have we checked out? Maybe we should be looking on either side of the common room.

[chevaleros]

I suppose we haven't checked the conference room...

[ the execution hall is kind of unavailable. ]

There may be others as well that we haven't visited in some time now.

[shiftingwinds]

I wouldn't mind going to take a look at it, if anyone wanted to come with me...?

[in case she overlooks something obvious]
