WEEK ZERO: INTRO MINGLE....2

[probe]

POPULATION: 37

[At around 10 AM sunday morning, there is the sound of a very alarming, earth-shaking crash that comes from the hallway with the elevator.

Should you choose to investigate, you will come across four figures splattered across the ground in front of said elevator, covered in slime and bits of fur.

The first figure to pop up is a figure in a hooded cloak with a crossed swords symbol etched into the side of the hood. They use the rest of the figures on the floor to push themselves up and then immediately let out a blood-curdling shriek as they just… set the elevator on fire.

As the elevator closes over the flames, the smallest figure in a hooded cloak with a ring of hearts symbol rolls off to the side, looking at their slime-coated sleeves with a distressed nya sound. They reach up to wipe bits of slime off of the two bumps at the top of their head, flinging it on the floor before sitting up on their knees.

The third hooded figure rolls up, and then rolls? into the air? to float? The very tip of the white, spiraled horn on the top of their head jutting through the hood is chipped. :( A wilted plant symbol is embroidered on the side of the hood. They clap their hands somewhat excitedly.]

Wow, we, like, didn’t die!

[The tallest figure finally pulls themselves up off the floor with a little groan, having been on the bottom of the pile. They reach up to rub their head, careful of the hood of their cloak, which has an eye symbol embroidered on the side. Their sleeve slips down a little, and a bright green eye opens up on their forearm, swiveling to look around before it closes and blinks out of existence.]

Jeez, did we not have enough property destruction already? Cannot believe you bitches live like this, by the way.

[The elevator is now closed, and the figure with the wrath symbol just sits down on the floor and starts shucking the slime off their sleeves like they’re squeegee-ing it. Their cloak is pulled up a little, which means everybody can see their bare feet, which are on fire. grumbled:]

Wish I were dead.

[The figure with the lust symbol whines slightly as they get to their feet, leaving little time between the moment they stand and the moment they move in the blink of an eye to jump onto the tallest figure’s back, draping themselves over them as they look around. Please ignore the way the back of their cloak quivers just slightly.]

Aw, don’t say that. How were we supposed to know the elevator would get stuck?

Oof- [The tall figure only stumbles slightly, just taking hold of their new barnacle’s legs like this is not the first time it’s happened. They are allowed to feel tall.]

Well, now it’s stuck and on fire, which I personally don’t think is a huge improvement? Can we, uh, move on? Definitely not it.

[In the background, the wrath hood lies on the floor and expires.]

Welcome to, uh--here! We were going to come down earlier to greet you, buuuut someone broke the elevator! We’re here now, though, so… hello!

[I can't believe we have four Hisokas--no okay I'm stopping, no more]

You all made quite an entrance!

[probe]

[jingles ominously :)]

We were going to come by yesterday but the whole thing got messed up and then the elevator got stuck. [ugh.] But it's probably fine now...hope we didn't keep you waiting too long!

[toyska]

[STOP THIS. Also thanks Envy for letting Lust feel tall.]

Yes, we heard the screaming... [Did anyone even try to help, it's funnier if the answer is no] was it just the four of you in there?

[where the fuck are the rest of you]

[probe]

[no you're all rude.]

Yeah, it was just us. That was probably for the better anyway.

[toyska]

Why's that?

[Er, if there's a reason beyond the obvious "it would have been way more uncomfortable"]

[probe]

Um...[um...] If it had been all eight of us that got stuck yesterday things would've been a little worse, that's all!

[toyska]

Ah, I see. [Do you, Childe. He sure seems to think so??

Moving on since uhhh the elevator is on fire and all--] Will the four of you be staying here, then?

[probe]

We'll be staying around here...? [they shrug at that.] But even if we're not down here with you guys I'm sure there'll be a way we can stay in touch while you're here.

[toyska]

That's good to hear! Those devices you gave us, the "phones"? Do you use those?

[probe]

Oh, yeah! [give them a moment to dig into their cloak and pull out a matching phone.] See? We match.

[toyska]

That we do. In more ways than one! [Thanks for the tattoo, buddy

Also Childe is a man and thus unfairly has decent pockets as well? It's a pockets party! But he'll do the same.] You don't seem to have one of those information cards, though...

[give him dm privileges]

[probe]

I was excited to meet all of you, but especially the ones aligned with me. [:D]

Do you think we should have cards? [that's a thought and they seem to ponder on this.]

[toyska]

[(flashbacks to the welcome app where all y'all were like "WE PICKED YOU SLUTS BECAUSE WE HAD TO GOD")]

It would only be fair, wouldn't it? After all, we don't even have your names. [Aside from Wrath who got doxxed first lmao]

[probe]

[stop it's fine.]

Then okay! We'll write up profile cards for us when we get back to the others. But you could've just asked for our names now that we're here.

[toyska]

I look forward to seeing them. [He will learn how to text just for you, Lust.] That's true! Sorry, your arrival was a little distracting.

[Sometimes you forget your manners because everyone is covered in furry slime and the elevator is on fire.]

In that case, what should we call you?

[probe]

Slide into my DMs whenever you want. [please be their friend, please text them whenever they get texting set up.] Our arrival was supposed to be way smoother than this but the whole elevator crashing and lighting on fire really sets the tone here...

[oh well! they perk up as soon as he asks.]

You can call me Lust. It's nice to meet you.

[toyska]

Mm, at the risk of sounding a bit rude, we've noticed some similar instances.

[Please fix your vegetables

Also--]

Lust, Wrath... I'm sensing a bit of a theme, here. [says fucking Tartaglia "Childe" GenshinImpact who has no room to talk about anyone's names, ever]

[probe]

That's not totally our fault...[but they nod and point over to the other two avatars.] Sloth and Envy. The other four are around but they had other stuff to do, or they just didn't want to show up? It's hard to say with them.

[toyska]

If they're that sort, then I feel quite lucky. [Thanks for being one to come visit.] Are you all equals, then? Or is one of you in charge?

[probe]

No. Even if one of us was in charge I don't think all of us would listen to them anyway. We all work together and also separately, if that makes sense.

[toyska]

[He can't help laughing at that.] It certainly does.

[nods in Harbinger]

Was that welcome information a joint effort, then? Or was it your idea?

[probe]

Mostly mine. I'm pretty used to talking to large groups, so I thought it would be nice for you guys to get to know us a little and hear from us, too. The others were pretty on board for the most part...[the guide speaks for itself.]

It was a fun project for us to work on together.

[toyska]

Haha, I had a feeling that might be the case.

[NODS IN HARBINGER. It's a compliment.]

Are we expected to do the same, then? I admit, I'd expected something more like a competition.

[probe]

You don't really have to compete, but you don't have to work together either. [flippantly.] Your tattoos are visible to everybody so you know who your Avatar is and can indulge as much as you want, but it's really up to you how you want to indulge and what that means to you. And if you're looking for ideas, I can probably come up with a couple for you.

[toyska]

I have a few in mind, but... if you don't mind sharing, I'd love to hear them.
