WEEK 7 MINGLE
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.

Eleanor-san, you made it back...!!!
no subject
Well, you dorks obviously needed a kick in the right direction. Especially you.
no subject
Especially me?! Mm, you're probably right....
[HE JUST TAKES IT and bows his head to her]
I'm sorry.... Um, but if you have something specific you need me to be sorry over, I'll be extra sorry.
no subject
[ mineo please you're making her feel bad!!! ]
Geez, quit it with the kicked puppy face! I'm not mad at you. I just wanted you to be less trusting.
no subject
... and I thought I locked up my trust pretty tight but - apparently not enough. You're right. I'm still sorry.
[but he'll falter for a little bit before reaching a hand out to her - ]
Can I hug you?
no subject
[ holds out her arms!! she doesn't have a heartbeat but is otherwise alive ]
And thanks for giving a shit about me, I guess.
no subject
... why are you saying that like it's not a given? [he sighs] Of course I care about you, Eleanor-san.
I'll stop apologizing if you stop acting like it's so hard to want you to be happy.
no subject
[ she's hugging him back and kind of patting his back a bit ]
No, dude, it's not that, it's just that I haven't been very nice to you. Or anyone, really. Kind of an asshole!
I mean, not as bad as some people here, but I didn't expect you to try so hard.
no subject
he'll pull back a little at that just because he looks confused]
I don't know if it says more about my taste in friends but honestly you're... really fine. You were still nicer to me than some of the people I hang out with.
[you ever meet takeru??]
But of course I'd try hard.
no subject
No offense, bro, but that's a hard bummer! You need better friends.
Anyway! No need to make a big thing of it, I was just saying thanks, you nerd. Now come with me to get some food and alcohol.
[ that's enough feelings for now, says eleanor ]
no subject
Yeah.
Let's go then. To compensate you for all your hard work.
no subject
[ also, for dealing with vlad. ]
Just kidding, I know you worked your ass off.
