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.

. . .

[Hmm.]

It could have given us a page of believable text, laying out the solutions, and saying that the only one was the one we're aware of - most of us die, a few may leave.

It didn't.

[toesies]

So... There's definitely more it isn't telling us.

[bonetiddies]

It didn't like our question. Which suggests to me that there's an answer to be found here that it wouldn't like.

[fisherwoman]

...At least that's useful to know, even if we don't know what that answer is.

[bonetiddies]

Correct. 'There is only one outcome' or 'There are only a handful of outcomes, none of which involve many of you leaving alive' is a very easy answer to give. But instead of saying so, it threw a little tantrum.

[shiftingwinds]

...so maybe it had to answer, but it wasn't possible for it to outright lie?

[shiftingwinds]

...what does it mean by "spoilers"? Might that have something to do with it?

[enfangs]

Yeah, "spoilers" implies it's keeping a few cards to its chest. [a beat.] That or it just wants how it's gonna vore all of us to be a surprise, or whatever.

[shiftingwinds]

[eugh. why is it always vore.]

[toesies]

Spoilers is... Example! When you tell someone how a movie ends, before they're done with it. It's usually super rude, but in this case we wanted those spoilers.

[shiftingwinds]

...so there's something it didn't want to say?

[toesies]

That's the theory. Why else would it throw a tantrum?
