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.

LUST AND ENVY PLS (and maybe wrath too)

[commedia]

[INSTANTLY RUNNING OVER, EVERYONE MOVE OUT OF THE WAY because they're making a beeline to Envy first, reaching down to pull him off the ground.]

A-are you okay?

[And then after checking in with Envy, they'll turn to the others, especially Lust!! Hello, Lust! Douman looks incredibly relieved.]

I-I was so worried...Lust, do you feel alright?

[rainbowings]

Ashiyaaaa! [she stays on the ground but she's beaming at them.] I'll be okay...it was just a lot to make sure the connection worked. Are you okay? Things looked bad...

[commedia]

I'm alright. That place is destroyed, but...we're okay.

[And just smiling down at her.]

Thank you. Thank you, truly. You really did your best.

[rainbowings]

You did the hard part, too. Don't forget it! You guys are the ones who helped us start thinking of ways to make this work.

[commedia]

...

[They're...touched. They're really touched.]

[They lean over to ruffle her hair a little.]

Well, either way...we did this together. Now, we just have to move ahead, and make sure we don't lose sight of our goal.

[rainbowings]

[nya? nyaaa.]

We won't! I think we're all in a good position to work together and finish this thing. [she 100% believes this.]

Are you excited to be back?

[commedia]

[Hehe. Lust is the best!! ONE OF THEIR BEST FRIENDS...]

You know, I was nervous about seeing everyone here who knew Limbo...but it hasn't been that bad, actually. People have been nice...

[rainbowings]

I told you that people would be understanding. [she's also believed in that for them, too.] You're way better than Limbo anyway. Anybody who doesn't want to be nice to you can answer to me instead.

[her hair's immediately curling up into...like...tiny fists? she'll throw down for their honor.]

[commedia]

Yes, you did.

[Now they're just blushing, a little flustered.]

H-hey, now, its fine! Please, you don't need to fight for me! But I...appreciate it.

[rainbowings]

[she's still grinning though. douman is a good person and that's all that counts here.]

It's not even needing to, I just would. [thanks iris.] ...make sure you take care of Ryan tonight, okay?

[profiles are live therefore douman has no excuse not knowing envy's name]

[commedia]

[A soft smile.]

I'm...happy you're my friend. [IT FEELS SO WARM...and they actually smile fondly over at him.] And I most certainly will. He needs all the rest he can get.

[rainbowings]

That makes two of us. [fwend...but she nods.]

He'll feel better if you're around anyway. Trust me.

[commedia]

...I'm very glad that I could help him realize his wish. Or at least, get close to it.

[And just giving her a playful poke on the nose.]

We'll find a way to grant your wish, too, alright?

[averagemedium]

Shiya!

[he looks tired, but he still wraps his arms around them. he's a barnacle now, hello, carry him.]

I'm okay, I'm okay-- looks like you made it back in one piece?

[commedia]

[Yes, time to princess carry Envy, and also give him a kiss to the forehead while they're at it.]

I did, I did. And it looks like you did, too. I was really worried for a while, there...

[averagemedium]

You know I always come back, right?

[after that forehead kiss, envy just leans in for a proper smooch, with a contented little hum.]

Especially to you.

[commedia]

I know, I know, but...is it wrong of me to worry? This place is unpredictable, you know.

[And just kissing him back, happily, before resting their forehead against Envy's forehead with a smile.]

I'm...so happy you kept your promise.

[averagemedium]

...I'm happy you're here.

[that it worked, that they're still the same person even over here. that they still have this.]

[commedia]

I should be saying that to you.

[Who ever knew that they could have something like this?]

Anyways...Ryan, is it? What a nice name you have.

[averagemedium]

-yeah. Yeah, that's me-

[excuse him, he's tearing up a bit? i am suffering as this happens in more than one thread, god, but he hurriedly swipes at his face.]

[commedia]

[noooOOOOO douman instantly looks worried?]

Oh, did I say something wrong? I'm sorry...

[DID THEY HURT ENVY'S FEELINGS WHAT IS HAPPENING]

[averagemedium]

N-no, it's okay, I'm fine-! I just-- um. None of you guys ever asked, except at the very beginning, and I was worried about saying it then, so...

[literally we went all game and nobody got ryan's name.]

...I'm just, um. Not used to hearing any of you call me by my name.

[commedia]

Oh.

[Yes, no wonder, they were just...using Envy the whole time. Wow.]

Well...be prepared to hear it a lot more, hm? Like I said, its a lovely name.

[averagemedium]

-good. I definitely want to hear it from you.

[...after a second, he leans in to whisper something to them.]

[commedia]

...

[Their cheeks flush a deep pink at that, and it takes a moment, eyes a little watery, before they lean back to whisper a reply.]
