WEEK 1 MINGLE

[foundationmods]

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.

[...?]

You... weren't born like most creatures, were you?

[This is probably an obvious question, but things seem so much less so when it comes to Alcor.]

[visionem]

[ A slight pause and then-]

I was not. I have always existed in some sense, since the Earth was created.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[-?!]

But- that would make you over billions of years old-?

[visionem]

I had assumed that was the reason why my age was listed as questions marks on my profile. But yes, at least partially. The time I've spend in this form is considerably less, but still far greater than human lifespans.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

-Did you appear this way even before humans had evolved?

[visionem]

[ A beat. ]

Evolved in what sense?

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[That gives her a pause.]

...Into a form similar to how we appear now, I suppose. What we would now refer to as homo sapiens.

[visionem]

[ His lips curve upward. ]

In that case, before: homo erectus walked the Earth before homo sapiens.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[??!]

How did you know to take an appearance like that?

[visionem]

[ ... ]

I don't always look like this way, nor have I in the past. Is that a sufficient answer?

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[...]

Not really, if I'm being honest.

[visionem]

Honesty does not offend me, Watanabe Saki. That is unfortunate, however.

[ aka he is not elaborating more on this specific detail right now, but she may have better luck with a different angle. ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

...Are your origins a difficult subject for you, then?

[visionem]

No, I just do not wish to share. [ There's a small smile playing on his lips again. ]

Unless you have a specific reason for wanting to know?

[allmyfriendsaredead]

You're just so mysterious. I wondered if knowing where you're coming from would help me understand you better.

[Because she... definitely doesn't right now.]

[visionem]

...you want to understand me better?

[ Okay he's not blushing but as far as Alcor facial expressions go it's pretty close. Lot'of flutterin eyelashes and his hand is at his chest in apparent surprise]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[......??]

Yes? Why wouldn't I?

[visionem]

[ ........ ]

I have watched humans for a very long time. Before you built cities, before you tamed cattle and sowed the earth in the spring for the harvest in the fall. Ever since I gave you the gift that changed everything.

[ Outstretching his palm a small flame flickers to life. ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Her eyes go wide. He can't mean...]

You gave humanity fire?

[visionem]

[ He smiles, a tad bitter. ]

Yes. And you did more with it than I ever could have imagined. Perhaps because of your limitless potential, that's why direction action was forbidden. Nothing was the same once you had that one tiny spark.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[There is something to be said about speaking with the one who apparently sparked humanity's rise with such a small, yet so significant gift.

But knowing what she does of humanity...]

Do you think it was a good choice?

[visionem]

Good and evil are relative depending on one's viewpoint.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[She reconsiders her word choice briefly. And then:]

Do you regret it?

[Can he feel regret??]

[visionem]

Selfishly, I find myself unable to answer yes.

[ Like many of his words they're wisps thrown to the wind, but these weigh heavy unlike all the rest. ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

You still like us after everything we've done?
