thefoundation | WEEK 1 MINGLE

As dawn approaches on Monday, the contestants are greeted to a beautiful, sunny day. It's the first full week of their time in the house, and after the rather troubling introduction on Saturday it's hard to know just what to expect

For the first week, the surrounding area seems quiet and peaceful. The weather stays a nice 75 degrees during the day, and it dips down to the 50s at night. Comfortable, and without any real disturbances from nature or house. It's almost as if the whole weekend was just a bad dream, and maybe the actual game won't be as bad as Dazai made it out to me.

However, those rules and profiles are still hanging in the living room, a constant reminder of the warnings that have been given. What will happen now? There haven't been any deaths at this containment site in years, but will that change with these new rules? Only time will tell.

Perhaps it's a good idea to enjoy this first week. Go swimming, watch a movie, or just hang out together and get to know each other better. You never know, this might be the last time to see some of the contestants.

It would not surprise me if there are several; human males often go through a stage where they increase their calorie consumption greatly.

[ Whether he catches the frown is unclear. ]

A "classic". What is the reasoning behind your choice?

That's true, but some people just have large appetites.

And there isn't really much reasoning. . . just. Something simple.

Those are the ones you often call "black holes", correct?

[ A small nod. ]

If simplicity is paramount, why not choose extra cheese as the topping?

Yes.

[ A beat, and then: ] Well. . . because I like having meat on my pizza? And a lot of images of pizza is cheese with pepperoni.

I understand now. [ Does he. ]

Do you prefer meat in every meal?

Not in every meal, but most. . . I guess.

You guess?

Yep.

I mean, I mostly just eat a lot of frozen meals...

Oh, were you a NEET?

[ Alcor that's rude to ask. ]

Huh?

No. No-- why would you assume that?

Isn't that the type of individual who only eats frozen meals?

Yes, but back home I didn't cook. And it's just cheaper.

Ah, I see. [ He will try to remember that for next time, probably. ]

But it's less nutritious.

Maybe, but it's not a big deal.

Are you not an adolescent human still growing and not having reached physical and mental maturity?

Mental maturity is completely psychological. . . and is just defined by science crap and legality.

Also I doubt I'd grow any taller.

The prefrontal cortex is still developing past the common age of maturity in most societies, including Japan. At twenty, there are still several years until it reaches full maturity in a physiological sense, which also affects mental maturity due to it's role in cognition, emotion, and decision making.

...I agree you would not likely grow any taller, however.
