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 guess it would make sense if Pride is one of those...

[but he'll let go of their hand, tilting his head]

Piggyback or princess carry?

[just gotta say that not knowing whether the npcs are girls or guys really does wonders for mineo's ability to hold a conversation]

[probe]

Princess carry. [excuse me, do they look like the sort of scrub that could be piggybacked, wow.]

Carry meee.

[sengokus]

'kay.

[LISTEN HE HAS A PIGGYBACK CG but he doesn't know if that'd bother their bruises................ so he'll just reach his arms out to scoop Wrath off the floor, goo and all. guess he's doing laundry later.

unless wrath is SURPRISE 100000 POUNDS mineo should be able to handle this?]

[probe]

[SURPRISE THEY WEIGH AS MUCH AS TRUCK

no, actually they're pretty light. they kick their feet a little, and embers flick off into the air. they don't set anything alight. wrath is also not shy about wrapping their arms around mineo's neck for stability.]

[sengokus]

[yea cool it's about stability]

Whoa, you're light! Have you been eating okay? Do you guys even eat...? I mean, Gluttony probably does, right....

[but he'll look around for a place to put wrath down that isn't the floor? someone summon a swooning couch]

[probe]

[we can say there's a bench or something, just drop them there.]

I eat, yes. [they say, amused.] I like eating, actually. Gluttony is - well. You'll have to see, I don't even know how to describe them.

[sengokus]

[he will GENTLY DEPOSIT THEM on a bench thanks, and just help himself to a seat next to them even as he's flicking goo off his arms....]

What's the difference between Gluttony and Greed anyway?

[please he's not made for philosophy]

And what do you like to eat?

[probe]

[ah, good, they just like, lean against him? it's fine. they're cuddly.]

Gluttony is more, uh, it's more like consumption. You want to have it for yourself, for you to eat or use or whatever. Greed is more collection. You want it because it's there, not because you have any use for it?

Or that's how I understand it. [they're not a philosophy major.

and then, a little gentler:] I'm a big fan of homemade meals in general.

[sengokus]

[?????

mineo tilts his head a little in confusion but figures that wrath is probably just tired. so he won't move and lets them cuddle with him i hate this hello?????]

Ohh, that makes more sense. Thanks!

[easily]

Hmm... I'm no gourmet, but I can make some pretty good ramen! Are you guys gonna be hanging out with us from now on, or are you headed back... up? [like. general up direction.] I could make you a bowl since you got stuck in an elevator, like.... sucks.

[it just sucks]

[probe]

[they are tired. tired of everybody's shit.

they hum.]

I actually don't know! I think we might be going back up soon, but here's a deal for you - you work on that ramen, and when we're all actually available, I'll hold you to it.

[sengokus]

Sounds good to me, I'm always down for ramen.

[gourmet instant ramen.... but he's just pausing]

Oh wait, shit, if you're going back up, am I supposed to be asking important things?!

[please

just put him out of his misery]

[probe]

[SNORT.]

We'll be around again later. Chill. You can ask whatever, though.

[sengokus]

Mm....

Is there anything you think that is important for us to know?

[this is filler because he needs time to actually come up with good questions]

[probe]

[they shrug.]

Anything important is gonna be in our guide we so helpfully put together. Though I guess I'd tell you also, uh, that you should really focus on doing as much as you can to get what you want.

[sengokus]

[ . . . ]

How do we know that we're doing enough for that? Like - is there gonna be a gauge? A bar?

[probe]

Nope. When it's enough, it's enough. That's all I can really tell you.

[sengokus]

[he winces a little bit at that]

Ahh, that's still really vague...

[ . . . ]

Okay, okay. Is there a reason why you can't say more though? Do you have a big boss or rules you've got to follow? I thought all of you were the ones making the rules...

[probe]

[the npcs are the rats that make all of the rules...]

There aren't really any rules. Other than clean up after yourself. [they shrug.] I can't tell you because I don't know, is the thing.

[sengokus]

Solid rule, might need better reinforcement.

[to be honest

but also hmmm]

You don't know? I thought you all knew each other for a while... Did us showing up surprise you?

[probe]

You guys are lucky Gluttony and Pride didn't come down here to wipe out the entire floor after the cheese whiz thing.

[a pause.] Not really. We knew you were coming.

[sengokus]

You knew we were coming... and you know we have to indulge... but you don't know how much - so we don't know when this'll be over?

[he is so slow saying this like he's trying to map it out for himself as he goes]

[probe]

Yep! Sounds right. It's really up to you guys. Do you want to speed run this, or do you want to drag it out?

[sengokus]

Oh! How do we speed run it?!

[don't say the sex]

[probe]

Just go really hogwild. Do all the sins at once.

[do a sex and then murder]
