7rings | 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.

[Just an awkward bow to White!]

H-hello, White...

... You know, I think I liked it better when you were an asshole? This is just weird.

[WOW]

[Douman actually...looks a little upset?]

Please don't...say that. I don't want to remember what it was like with...that curse over me.

[

HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS????]

So what the fuck happened to you, anyway?

It is a long story, but I was possessed.

I was only freed from it when Law killed that creature.

[... oh. well, white looks more sympathetic at that.]

Possession's a bitch. [he can... understand...] Good for Law, then? I'm guessing that, uh, wasn't his intention, though.

...Well, of course not. But still, they must have chosen me for a reason.

Can you imagine how tiring it was to see people buy into their act? Terrible...how terrible...

[a beat.]

I guess I should stop calling you a Buddhist clown now, huh.

[They wince.]

I am a priest, but...I'd prefer that, yes.

Well, you're definitely less clown-like now! So congrats on that.

C-can I just NOT be clown-like at all!?

[looks them over]

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh.

White, please-!

[THEIR SELF ESTEEM IS ALREADY HORRIBLE]

... Fine, you can be a Buddhist priest instead of a Buddhist clown.

Ah, thank you...

[relief....so much relief...]

[a beat]

Also, sorry about cursing you that one time?

[white is like

actually not even remotely sorry but if we're all confessing to our crimes now?]

...

You what?

Oh, during that trial when you were eating the chocolate. I was trying to distract you so that you'd stop?

Well, that wasn't me, you understand, but...

[A nod.]

Thank you for that.

[YEAH, NO, DOUMAN ENJOYED WATCHING THEIR OTHER SELF SUFFER]

Right, not-you. [a pause] Wow, really was not expecting to be thanked for that, but I can't say I don't enjoy getting off scot-free?

Ahaha.

[A light smile at that.]

You know, I always thought you were a hooligan, but I suppose you're not all that bad, White.

[

he just stands there kind of awkward/stunned like he doesn't know what to do with douman's newfound opinion of him?]

[ITS ANOTHER OPINION OF A DIFFERENT CLOWN, WHITE]

...Eh, what is with that look on your face?

[YEAH BUT PEOPLE COMPLIMENTING HIM IN GENERAL IS WEIRD]

... Nothing! Just, uh, unexpected.

Well, if it bothers you that much, I can go back to mentally calling you a hooligan.
