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!

[probe]

Yeah. We were going to come down, but the elevator shocked all of us and then got stuck partway down. But I guess it'll get fixed later.

[shiftingwinds]

None of you were hurt, were you...?

[probe]

Nope. We're all in one piece! But it means a lot that you were concerned. Thanks.

[shiftingwinds]

Oh, good, that's a relief!

[whew]

So... will you be staying here with us, then? Do you have your own rooms like the rest of us do?

[probe]

Nyaaa. [what the hell kind of an answer is that.] We'll be around, don't worry!

[shiftingwinds]

[...well, alright then!]

Perhaps I could interest some of you in sharing a drink with me sometime? Since you'll be around.

[probe]

Ooh...really? I'd like that. Then we could really get to know each other and spend more time together!

[shiftingwinds]

Exactly. It'll be easier to get to know each other that way.

[you know, instead of chatting in front of dozens of other people!]

[probe]

Yeah! Oh. [oh, hm.] I really, really, really want to, but we still have things to do upstairs. Are you good for a raincheck?

[shiftingwinds]

Sure, another time would be fine - sometime when you're free. You can even bring your friends if you want.

[or. friend?

she might be glancing between lust and envy, given. how lust is hanging onto them.]

Since we'll be spending time at your place, it's only polite to get to know you, right?

[probe]

[they pat envy's hood as if to say no offense.]

I think it'd be fun if it was just the two of us, don't you? And then we can spend as much time together as you want.

[shiftingwinds]

Oh, that would be fun!

[they say the more the merrier, but it's nice to get to know people one-on-one, too. shi qingxuan smiles.]

I'll be looking forward to it.

[probe]

Me too! Even if you're not on my "team" or whatever, that doesn't mean we can't hang out and be friends.

[shiftingwinds]

Right! Teams or no teams, we're all sharing the same space, so it would be nice if we can all get along.

[probe]

Exactly! Are you getting along with the other people here so far? You've had a little while to meet, but there's also a lot of you.

[shiftingwinds]

I think so, for the most part. There are a lot of interesting people you made the offer to come here to, you know.

[probe]

Yeah. We're still learning about everyone but they're all pretty unique so far. That's what's gonna make this even more fun, isn't it?

[shiftingwinds]

It certainly will - I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone better.

[hmm...]

It should be interesting to see how everyone decides to indulge, too.

[probe]

Some of you seem to have gone a little over the edge already...[the poor common room...] Do you have ideas of how you're gonna indulge yet?

[shiftingwinds]

Well, I've been indulging in the alcohol you've provided us with - whoever picked that out? Thank you, by the way - but I've been considering the other options.

[she lifts her hand to show off the gluttony symbol on the back of it.]

I suppose this has something to do with it?

[probe]

That's a good start. [they peer at her hand though and even reach forward to take it.] Ooh...gluttony. That's a fun one and way easy to indulge.

[shiftingwinds]

[she seems to have no problem whatsoever with them taking her hand!]

You're right! I just have to find things I like, and indulge in a lot of it, or something like that.

So I'm just thinking about what options I'd enjoy most.

[probe]

[so now they're holding hands and they're still looking at the symbol thoughtfully.]

You'll get to meet Gluttony soon, I think, and you could probably ask them for ideas, too! We're here to help you guys feel good and indulge all you want so don't be shy.

[shiftingwinds]

I'll be looking forward to it. We must have something in common, if I ended up with their symbol!

[nah it's literally just because she's a lush, probably.]

So you're here to help... do you all have things to indulge in too, then? Or are you just here to give us ideas on how to indulge?

[probe]

I think so. Be nice to them when you meet them, okay? [they happen to like gluttony enough for that kind of warning.]

It's a little of both, I guess. We indulge in other ways, but mostly we're here to make sure you guys are indulging and putting in the effort to get what you want like you agreed to.
