WEEK ZERO: PIZZA PARTY

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!

... Unless?

[ yeah.

chang geng reaches up to undo his cloak clasp, jaw tight. if the ice is cold enough, he'll be frostbitten - they'll have to be careful, tending to those injuries. will riff suffer from burns the same way that a normal person would? will damien get caught in his own fire, with how he's shooting his gun here? ]

It appears so. Reason is not quite here. [ he pulls the cloak off. ] Better be ready, then.

[she truly hates this]

...perhaps we ought to ask someone who can wield Amber to create something calming? Just in case they're both still... aggravated... when they return.

[they can shove it at them and force them to calm down.]

I can contribute, if need be.

Stand by and be ready in case they're still showing signs of aggression. But if they're calm once they come back through the archway, we can save the use of your power for something else.

[they nod!]

Um.... what kinda thing?

[Just give him the word!]

Anything, so long as it has calming properties rather than warming.

...but wait until we're sure we need it. If they calm after coming back through the archway, we may have need of a different one of your powers instead.

Okay. Just tell me what you need. Um... I have the sunrise and heliotrope ones.

[on second thought they should all lend their colors to bass]

At this rate, we're not going to have "both".

-surely it would not go that far.

[he is

absolutely tense, though, at the thought. this has already become more violent than is natural.]

...

[she can't say he's wrong, because she's wondering that too - this whole situation has been escalating quite a lot.]

We may not. But until I confirm one is actually dead, I want to be ready to care for them both.

It would be worth trying, I think. [ he is not very optimistic about both of them returning, at the moment, but. ]

I have those salvaged bandages, still, if we need something to stem bleeding while the fastest run to the medbay. And clothes can be washed if we need more.

[ more to carry them, more to tend to them. although he's narrowing his eyes as he watches the scene. what... ]

We have plenty at our disposal. We simply have to be ready to use it.

[she's focusing on the fight as she speaks, and when she notices those green and pink cracks filtering through the darkness, she nudges chang geng to draw his attention to them.]

...look.

[ with bass' arrival, chang geng can do basic math to come up with a theory. after a flash of red, and the subsequent contribution of everybody else: ]

It's the other two.

[she's watching intently as everyone contributes their colors, wanting to see what effect it has]

...they're attempting to help.

[hopefully they're not, like, ONLY going to help riff. imagine if we just unload all our color powers on damien and kill him.]

[ ty is on the mod team, they're not going to just let cola die easily like that. ]

... they're attempting something. [ chang geng comes from a non-magic world so honestly he doesn't quite know what to parse from this, but he will just wait and see what happens. ]
