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.

[god

everything here sucks so much

but mineo is just going to sigh and offer vlad a hand after he gets absolutely crushed a thousand times]

... you're really unpopular everywhere you go, Vlad-san...

[niceguyferatu]

[ By this time, he's practically been flattened into a pancake and by the cracking sounds as he stands up, and the grimace on his face, it looks like he might have broken something! Or several somethings? Hmm.

He tries to respond, but it only comes out in a rattling wheeze.

He uses Mineo as a stand to balance himself on his weak, battered twig legs. Once he's got a handle on it enough to stand without support, he...

...aims a very haphazard punch right for Mineo's face. ]

[sengokus]

[





i'm sorry he's way too well-trained in self-defense for this he's just catching the fist]

I probably deserve this but I'd at least like to know why?

[niceguyferatu]

[ fucking FINE, then he'll try a knee to the crotch, then!!!!!

Through his wheezing: ]

Self-serving...hypocrite!

[sengokus]

[vlad can keep wheezing as much as he want but mineo will just dodge out of the way, moving to put a little bit more distance between the two of them]

Yeah.

I deserve that.

[niceguyferatu]

Oh, as if saying that...means anything...when you don't have to face...any consequences...for your actions!

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he nods at that, and then bows his head - well, only momentarily because he doesn't doubt that vlad might try to uppercut him suddenly]

You're right.

But being on the receiving end of your hatred is a consequence that I'll accept. I'm sorry. I know that it was unfair, but I can't change that I'm here.

You can let me know if there's something I can do to try to even things out for you.

[niceguyferatu]

[ Scoffs as best as he can and also fuck it i'm not writing in the pauses where he wheezes anymore, just insert them yourself ]

And what, exactly, do you think could possibly even the score, Mineo?

[sengokus]

[he straightens up then]

I don't know.

[TOO HONESTLY]

I can do my best, but there's a lot of debts I need to reconcile. If you have a demand, it'd be simpler - but we don't have a lot of time.

[niceguyferatu]

A demand, hmm? Very well.

[ he thinks about it for a bit, until... ]

...your eyepatch.

[enfangs]

[







somewhere in the background before vlad's crimes get doxxed]

Trust me, what's under there isn't that fascinating.

[niceguyferatu]

Oh, I'm not interested in finding out what's under there. Just that it's his, and now it'll be mine.

[enfangs]

[uh]

Okay, dude, that's creepy.

[niceguyferatu]

Is it?

All I want is a small token that will tell people that Mineo owed me--something automatically recognizable.

[sengokus]

[wow

mineo's just going to pause for a second at that - before he hears law yelling? and then he takes a long second before he actually does pull off his eyepatch, revealing a perfectly fine and uninjured eye underneath

and then with the hand that's holding the eyepatch, curls his fingers into a fist and just clocks vlad in the face

two eyes all the better to deck a man with!!]

Fucking bastard!!

[niceguyferatu]

[ He really wasn't expecting to be doxxed. Or punched. Maybe he should've been.

As it is, the punch catches him square across the jaw and sends him sprawling to the floor. Jesus, that smarts--especially when he's already had so many people crush him. He props himself up on shaky elbows and rubs at his jaw. ]

Oh, what? Like I've done anything worse than you have?!

[sengokus]

At least I don't have the fucking nerve to try and pretend like I'm owed anything from anybody after killing someone! Where the hell do you get off, acting like you're even close to innocent in all this?!

We've all got problems and no one here's a saint, you can at least stand to own some of your issues!

[dotcom]

Mineo. He is really not worth it.

[ like. even before the murder confirmation. ]

[niceguyferatu]

Oh, as if I haven't already paid for my crimes by being murdered and left to suffer afterwards for weeks on end?! As if I haven't been punished enough already, while you sit here pretty and get showered in accolades for doing the exact same thing everyone is demonizing me for?!

You know, if people had treated me with a single shred of decency, I wouldn't have even had to kill! My hand would not have been forced! But instead, somehow everything is always my fault.

At least admit that the value of a human life is dependent entirely on how popular they are, and that's the only reason you'll never have to accept responsibility for the very same thing you're assaulting me over!

[mukagen]

[ Well, since they're in the middle of a conversation, don't mind if he kicks Vlad while he's down. He can't do anything about Douman, so...

Yeah. This is fine. ]

IN THE BACKGROUND AFTER THE DEMAND IS MADE...

[nodo]

[ hmm?

hmmm????? what is this he is over-hearing?? ]

HEY! [ loudly and above the crowd(?) ] Vlad doesn't deserve shit for what he's done, Mineo!

That asshole is the reason why Steven died.

[ and kind of why law died by association but don't come at me with that. i'm tired of playing law and i only have a few days left. ]

[mukagen]

[ Applauds! Law is so cool! Actually the only man he respects in this whole game like what the fuck ]

[nodo]

[ gojou........pelase. ]

[housewolf]

[Applause from a distance!]

[nodo]

[ don't encourage this..... ]
