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!

It's okay! [they seem earnest about that, leaning their chin on top of envy's head.] I don't mind. Envy's a really good person to talk to anyway.

[toesies]

Oh, yeah! Totally a great person. I thought I would want to drop them— like that bitch who defined indulgence for us! But I don't mind them at all.

[Sorry, Greed? Was it Greed? Mystery.]

So, what can you tell me about yourself?

[probe]

Envy's a lot easier to talk to than Greed anyway. Not that Greed's that bad! But somehow they're really good at making you feel kinda dumb.

[stupid greed.]

What do you wanna know?

[toesies]

Well, I don't like when people act like I'm stupid. So that's one relationship that isn't off to a great start.

[Fuck! Greed!]

Hmm... What's up with this? [Gestures at the whole using Envy as a jungle gym situation.] You guys, like, besties? "Hanging?" Whatever the kids call it these days.

[probe]

More time for the rest of us then. [oh well! fuck! greed! but they lean a little more on envy at the question.]

We get along pretty okay! And they let me do this anyway. [after a few second though, lust makes a move to jump down. it becomes obvious why they were hanging off of envy though because lust is now about sheila-height.]

It's also easier to see all of you from up there.

[toesies]

Yup! Lucky you!

[FELLOW SHORTY... She blinks when Lust jumps down, leaning back a little, before she snorts.]

Maybe. But if you ask me, the view from here is way better. You should stick around more often.

[Join her in being closer to hell.]

[probe]

We'll see! I don't mind being grounded, but sometimes I just don't want to walk anymore. [shrug. but here they are closer to hell.]

[toesies]

Hm. Fair enough.

[Live your best life, Lust.]

Then, tell me a little about your co-worker buddies. I already know Envy, so what can I expect from everyone else?

[probe]

Hm...Wrath's the life of the party! They're really great for hanging out and having fun. And Sloth's sweet and a good listener. Gluttony's a little scary but they're not so bad and have good ideas. Same with Greed. Pride's pretty easy to annoy, but they're secretly really nice. And Despair's...very themselves.

[toesies]

[A beat.]

That's the sweetest thing I've overheard about Pride today. [Anyway!] "Very themselves?"

[probe]

[shrug! they will not elaborate on pride right now.]

Very themselves! Despair is kind of hard to describe until you actually talk to them. And even then...there isn't really a good word for them.

[toesies]

Do they know you talk about them like that?

[probe]

Does it matter that much?

[toesies]

Just curious.

[probe]

[they shrug with both hands, cloak shifting just a bit.]

I'm not saying anything that isn't true or even mean. It's just how things are.
