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.

PRIDE AND LUST

[toyska]

Royce--

[NYOOMS IMMEDIATELY though he stops before he can. Crash into them. Thankfully.]

Is she okay?

[malborn]

She's fine. [he sounds tired too, but he moves just enough to let childe look at her.]

[toyska]

[REACHING OUT FOR IRIS'S HANDS IMMEDIATELY or at least one if she's got a juice box in the other. His little wings are fluttering, hair moving in agitation that doesn't show on his face.

But if Royce says she's fine, then he'll believe it, and he lets out a breath before he gives him a little smile.]

That was a bit more than I expected.

[you big ol' tsun]

[malborn]

[his lips twitch.]

I prefer things to be less dramatic.

[toyska]

But it was more fun this way--

[He is joking only because he can clearly see they're okay(?) now, but then he gets beaned by a flying juice box and yelps]

--hey!

[DAMN IT WRATH]

[malborn]

[wrath loses her shit over in her corner]

... Get good. [hehehe]

[liuli]

[ (starts snickering from a distance) ]

[toyska]

[you are so lucky he's holding his not!sister's hands right now]

[liuli]

[ yea

sticks tongue out and looks like he's encouraging wrath to throw another one tbh ]

[toyska]

[He looks very much like he wants to punch Royce in the arm, but he does not, because Iris.]

I didn't do anything!

[malborn]

[he's very amused.]

You didn't, no. Should've dodged. [is he teasing? yea]

[toyska]

[okay now he gets an arm punch since Iris is conscious and responding because otherwise this is getting gay and that can't happen. But like, not full strength, because Iris.]

How much trouble will I be in if I throw it back?

[malborn]

[OW WHAT THE FUCK no it's fine he just deadeye stares childe in the face as he's punched.]

Have you ever cared about how much trouble you'll be in?

[toyska]

No, but where am I going to go if she kills me again so soon?

[ROYCE THEIR GRAVEYARD]

[malborn]

Please. She's about as strong as a weed. You can take her.

[rainbowings]

[she's still mostly asleep, but she does recognize the voice which means her eyes open immediately to stare at him.]

Chiiiiilde. [kind of whiny? but mostly relieved? like very relieved.] You made it!

[toyska]

[GRABBING HER HAND(S) HERE TOO just to establish this]

It worked, it worked! I'll scold you later for scaring me, hm?

[considering THE NOTE THEY PARTED ON]

[rainbowings]

[she's just immediately gripping his hands tightly.]

Worth it! You didn't think I'd just abandon you entirely, did ya? We had to try.

[toyska]

Of course I didn't, but I wasn't expecting much more than a flash drive! I'm supposed to be the one who's good at breaking things, not you.

[Please stop copying his destructive tendencies this is not the influence he wanted for you]

[rainbowings]

Not my fault I'm getting better than you. [that's not something she should be proud of.]

Besides, it's better to break things from this side, isn't it? We need you here.

[toyska]

[Wow he has no argument against that so he just stares into the distance for a minute before he lets go of her hand to ruffle her hair. This is a terrible family.]

What do you need us to do?

[Work Mode On always]

[rainbowings]

[hehehe.]

...first thing's first? Stay alive this time. [brutal.] Start talking to the people who've been on this side and see if you guys can solidify some kind of plan. I know Mr. Starphase told Medb a bunch of stuff, but without the limits now...maybe brainstorming'll be more effective.

[toyska]

[WOW]

You know that wasn't entirely my fault...

[LISTEN. But that's not terribly important right now, so he nods. Serious time!!]

We'll try to contain the chaos. [Who is we. Why is Childe talking like he has any control over anything. Stop.] Did you-- [He pauses, then shakes his head slightly, changing his question.] --are you staying with us tonight?

[rainbowings]

I know, and you know how I feel about it all still.

[they've hashed it out, it's fine. she's still holding his hands and kind of half-sprawling between him and royce.]

You are a strategist...I trust you on that one. [...she gives him a quizzical look because she wants to know what he was going to ask but she blinks instead.] You mean in the base? We're not going anywhere if that's what you mean. Why?

[toyska]

[A wink! In response to what? Who can say.]

I meant down here, where we can keep an eye on you. [...] It is Thursday, after all.

[He is trying to talk around this even though that's probably pointless now]
