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!

[Mahito - waves back?? Perhaps?? Actually, it looks more like he's just mirroring the gesture, probably missing his own handeye. It is so sad when your handeyes are gone.]

Hi! I think a lot of people thought you all died. [CHEERFULLY.] Glad to see you made it.

[probe]

They think we're pretty easy to kill, I guess?

[they wave a hand, not quite dismissively. more an idle gesture.]

But, uh, believe me, I'm glad to not be stuck.

[touchups]

Maybe, maybe. [A little, sloping shrug! He then peers - briefly - around Envy and toward the mess of an elevator.]

You've been in there since all the screaming earlier? That's a pretty long time to be in such a small space. Make sure to air out lots before you go back! Just in case it gets stuck again, you know?

[probe]

Oh, my god, if it gets stuck again I'm banning all of you from the elevator.

[PLEASE. let them live. they're TIRED.]

But, uh, it could be worse? I could've been stuck in there with Pride.

[touchups]

We wouldn't be able to use it if you're stuck in there anyway, right?

[THEY'RE BANNED BY DEFAULT. Anyway he is reaching for Envy's hand with his salad fingers. Clowns like touching Envy!!]

Do you not like Pride? Is that why there's only four of you?

[probe]

The others didn't want to come, so we're here instead.

[they let mahito take their hand, though! their head tilts as he does, watching.]

It's not that I don't like Pride, it's that they don't like me. Kind of gets a little tiring watching my back all the time? I don't even know what their problem is!

[touchups]

[PLEASE STOP LETTING MAHITO TOUCH YOU ALL CHALLENGE!! He is very happy to have this hand, though, and proceeds to flip it over to look for the missing eyeball.]

Ooh! I see, I see. I guess that sounds kind of annoying, yeah. [Nodding...] Are you all stuck together up there, then? Maybe you should stay somewhere else.

[probe]

[it is not where it was! but a new one opens up as mahito inspects their hand.]

I mean, I'm not gonna let them run me off... it's just a little bit of a pain.

[touchups]

[He is immediately distracted by their conversation because he has a .2 second attention span, god.]

Oh! Hello. [Don't just speak to the eye...] Do you like looking at things from this angle instead?

[probe]

Oh, um- they just sort of do that, sometimes?

[the eye swivels to watch mahito.]

[touchups]

[He is watching the handeye watch him, like a terrible eyeroboros.]

On their own? You can't control yours?

[probe]

I can manifest them on purpose too! They just also, um, do it on their own sometimes.

[can't believe he and the hand eye are having a staredown.]

[touchups]

[CAN YOU NOT]

Have you ever accidentally stepped on one of them?

[Why is that his first question.]

[probe]

I- no? Why would it be on the bottom of my foot, anyway? I have shoes.

[why have an eye you can;t see out of, mahito!]

[touchups]

[DON'T ASK JUNJI ITO THIS QUESTION.]

Don't they just go wherever they want sometimes? [He's just imagining roving eyes popping up literally all over the place at any time for any reason.]

[probe]

Within reason-! Jeez, it'd be weird if they just showed up places they can't even see, I don't want like-- a butt eye. That'd just be extra weird.

[touchups]

[A beye......... He just laughs, terribly.]

You're right, it would be! [Someday he's giving someone a butt eye now, just for fun.] Hey, if two eyes open on different sides of your body, would it make you dizzy?

[probe]

It happened once, yeah- it was pretty disorienting? I try to avoid letting that happen.

[touchups]

[It sounds hilarious, honestly, and he looks vaguely amused by the prospect.]

Mm, I'd guess it would be. Hey, how many can show up at once?

[probe]

Probably a lot!

[they shrug, slightly.]

I haven't actually found out?

[touchups]

You should! [He frees this hand so he can clap his hands together, clearly enthused about the idea.] I'd like to see something like that!

[probe]

You would...?

[they pause, seeming to consider this. there's a faint green glow under their hood where their eyes would normally be, though their face is still indistinct.

then eyes open up all over their hands and what's visible of their forearms, as well as little glowy spots popping up all over underneath the fabric of their robe. envy makes a slightly startled noise, and they all wink out at once.]

Ohhhh jeez, okay, did not consider seeing out of all of those at once.

[touchups]

[Honestly neither did Mahito, but that only makes it more entertaining... He laughs because of course he does.]

Ah, was it too much? [THIS ASSHOLE. But beneath the laughter, he sounds fond! Terrible!] I like them, though!

[probe]

Ah, maybe a little much... Do you really, though?

[mahito is now the third person to see that the hand-eyes can shift to have a heart-shaped pupil. terrible.]

[touchups]

[why do these things happen. His opinion should never be valid, but especially not when it comes to multiples of body parts.]

Mmhm! I've never met anyone who can do that. [HE LOVES IT!! Interesting and unexpected things are the best. Also--] They're a good color, too.
