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!

Did I need something? Thoughtful of you, but I came to check the opposite. [ gu yun squats down to take a look at poor slimed wrath. ]

Did you just need a moment to recover from all of that [ foolishness ] down here, or are you injured? Has no one offered to fetch you a towel or anything yet?

[probe]

[aw, what a nice offer.]

They haven't, but uh, you know? I'm not surprised! This is the group of people that cheese-whized the hot tub. [dramatically, they throw a hand across their forehead.]

Not one Prince Charming has offered me a towel! What the fuck!

[liuli]

Well. If you'll excuse me a moment.

[ bye

five minutes or so pass, and gu yun returns carrying one of those fluffy towels. he squats down on the ground again to hand it over. ] For the record, I had nothing to do with the sacrilege of the hot tub.

[probe]

Oh. Nice.

[they reach up like they're going to take their hood off. pause. and then sigh and start wiping their robes off with the towel.]

Aw, and these are the good towels, too. You must really love me. [they say, idly.] I know you didn't whiz the tub. You've been good, mostly.

[they sound amused.]

[liuli]

[ if wrath is paying attention they probably will see gu yun's mouth twitch like he's trying not to laugh when they almost take off their hood. world record unmasking

he will let them to their drying, though, touching a hand to his heart, briefly. ]

The mostly is what makes me interesting. Have you all been watching us, then?

[probe]

[be nice wrath is stupid.

they snort.]

Yeah. I mean, not in a creepy way, I'm not going to watch you guys fuck, but we know what you guys are doing.

[liuli]

This seems to be the last place anyone would shame you, if that was where your interests lie.

[ snickering to himself with that tease. ]

If that's the case, were you all the ones that made sure this place hinted to our... what was that document called. [ a beat, and then, gu yun makes airquotes. ] "fuckening"?

[probe]

[fuckening makes them laugh.]

Sure. Did you like the gifts?

[liuli]

[ good it's a funny word ]

They were a welcome to be sure. Was that a group effort, or are you the generously creative benefactor?

[probe]

A little bit of column A, a little bit of column B. Lust is the mastermind, but we chipped in.

[liuli]

[ lol ]

They seem like quite the people person. What was your contribution?

[probe]

They're a sweetheart. [wrath love lust.] The cockring in the bath bomb. Oh, and the ball hammock. Haha.

[liuli]

The what in the what?

[ local ye olde has never used a bath bomb in his life. he sounds more delighted than scandalized, though. ]

[probe]

[they laugh.]

The - oh my god, have you not seen either? Please. When we're not all surrounded, bring me your bath bomb and we'll make it happen.

[liuli]

[ gu yun, who grins, because he loves chaos: ]

I will absolutely hold you to that!

[probe]

[they reach out and tap him on the nose with their very warm hands. he'll see the cracks that look like erupted lava along their hands as they do.]

Good! I get bored. The only fun one around here is Lust, and they're a busy bee.

[liuli]

I think you'll find many of the people in this place to be a fun bunch.

[ if

you ignore the wanton destruction. that smile of his just grows a bit when he's booped on the nose, and he wrinkles his nose playfully after like a child, though his sharp gaze goes to that hand. ] Are all of you quite gifted with magic powers? I'm feeling rather normal in comparison.

[probe]

[wow, don't look at their hands. they pull their hand into their robe, almost self consciously.]

We can do things here and there. What kind of Avatars would we be if we couldn't, huh?

[liuli]

What else can you do?

I'm just - [ ahem. he bats his eyelashes and puts on the big, innocent eyes, in the way that only great liang's greatest garlic, the king of full of shit himself can really do, ] - completely bedazzled by all of these new 'magics'. Utterly starstruck by the very wonder.

[probe]

Good question!

[they're not going to answer that very good question! also, bemused:] Oh my god. Does that work on people?

[liuli]

[ he blinks. perfectly innocent. ]



Hm?


[ can't hear you, ]

[probe]

Oh, I like you.

[liuli]

[ teehee. he winks. ]

The feeling's mutual. Alas, we're fated to be apart. [ holding up his hand to show that crown symbol, gu yun wiggles his fingers. ] Though I hope you won't hold it against me.

[probe]

[they bring a hand to their chest.]

Maybe I want you to hold something against me instead. [their face is hidden, but there's a wink in that sentence.

and then - they do snort at the sight of the crown, though.] It really is a shame. You can still come hang out with me, anyway - you might have to. Pride might just block your number.

[liuli]

[ the way i started typing fall out boy lyrics ]

Sounds indulgent. [ fufufufu. he picks right up on that wink. it's a vibe. ]

While I'll be delighted to come and cavort with you anytime - I can certainly handle myself around royalty. [ gu yun pats the side of his hand where the crown is. that carried the cadence of a joke, kind of? honestly it's 50/50 with him. ] Anything I should know about them before we meet?
