WEEK ZERO: PIZZA PARTY

[saturations]

SURPRISE!

Sunday morning starts peacefully enough, until around noon, when alarms start going off on your phones informing you of a Pizza Party taking place in the Central Node. You can snooze the alarms at first, but they begin to get a little more insistent after a while if you aren't making progress heading down there. If you're being stubborn, you can probably hold out until right at 1 PM, when an archway opens right in front of you and pulls you in.

The central node is comfortable right now, with blankets laid out on the grass and boxes of pizza are set out. Cheese, Pepperoni, Hawaiian, Meat Lovers, Veggie, I could just keep writing types of pizza all day. A few boxes even contain very weird varieties of pizza, but if you give them a try, some of them might be good! Some are as terrible as you'd expect. Otherwise, the pizzas are all warm and delicious, and there's enough for everyone.

The Residents are all already here, waiting for you! Have a fun and cool day!

They keep saying we affect things here, so it's probably like that.

[ and then damien fires... ]

Ah! See, it is just paintball! So they might get a little bruised, but it's NBD!

[chevaliered]

... So let's keep thinking it's paintball. Really hard.

[itsuki sees the traffic barrier and truck materialize]







Think harder.

[georeject]

... Is this still the "paintball" you're all talking about?

[pura]

...

It's not.

[nightchild]

...They're not aiming at each other at least, but...

[what if they shoot in the air and dorothy's house flattens them both]

[pura]

Are they both good shots?

[nightchild]

If it's shooting...

[itsuki checks his phone for their profiles...]

Their scores aren't that bad?

[pura]

Scores for what?

[nightchild]

[he holds up his phone,]

Dex. That's short for dexterity, right?

[itsuki thinks the CHA stands for charm]

[pura]

[...]

I thought those numbers were just a bunch of nonsense.

[georeject]

Is it something else, then, or have we simply gone off the script entirely?

[pura]

The script wasn't there to begin with, so yes.

Paintballs aren't supposed to do any of that.

[chevaliered]

[ pff ]

It's a team effort, get to manifesting.

[nightchild]

[time to start chanting]

...It's just pretend. It's just a game.

[dms]

It's fine! They just need a little help finding the way out, right? So what if we...

[ kazu manifests a paper airplane in a splash of color to send it flying toward one of the tears. ]

[nightchild]

[itsuki watches this paper airplane go.... baby u can do it...

ray does it explode]

[classmate]

[ why are heely hoes so stupid ]

[nightchild]

[THIS IS THE POWER THEY WERE GIVEN???]

[dms]

[ says the heely hoe ]

[dms]

[ it bounces off! and kazu pouts. ]

Not what I was going for...

[nightchild]

[...]

So we really just have wait until they come to us?

[dms]

Guess so... Man, they keep saying we should use our colors, so I was sure that would help.

[nightchild]

[yeah...]

I wonder if combining our colors might work...

[dms]

Prom-pom gave me a hand [ literally, they're holding hands ] and it still didn't work. But maybe we were doing something wrong...?
