WEEK SEVEN: MINGLE

[saturations]

MINGLE

Another bittersweet weekend is behind you now. You were successfully in reversing an execution, and yet...well. This place truly does love violence against children, doesn't it? No time to stop and dwell though. As always, you must keep moving ever onward...

Everything in the Prism is quiet today. There's no new node opening itself to you. The archways you've encountered seem to be what's left. Even the central node is eerily silent, as though waiting for your next move.

You get the sense that explorations may be a bit more stifling now. Be careful where you stick your noses, just in case you don't like what you find. That's not meant to be discouraging, of course. Surely by now you've realized how far your free will can take you. But even before you leave the apartments, perhaps you'd like to pay a visit to the gumball machine in the lobby.

Your colors have changed several times upon entering this place. This past weekend is no exception. Some of you may have changed, and some of you may have stagnated. Worry not. It isn't as though it matters...does it? Your color isn't the only thing that makes you who you are, after all. There's...people, places, things, ideas. Memories that you've coveted throughout the years, things you've held near and dear, things that have guided you on this journey especially lately.

But now it seems that you're having a bit of trouble holding onto these things. Every now and then, you'll find that as you try to recall pieces of yourselves, those memories have simply faded away. What does your best friend look like? What's your favorite song? Better question...what's your name? You may find it easier to recall facts about other people, strangely enough. But as the week progresses your own memories tumble right between your fingertips, lost into the ether.

Hold on while you can.

As always, you may contact the residents at any time. They may even have a message for you.

Welcome to your week seven mingle for chroma!

Things of note:
► This week's effect is memloss. You knew this was coming. You've put so much of yourself and your feelings into the Prism...surely it makes sense to lose what you've given.
► The severity of memloss can be up to you. You can gradually start to lose your memories, or you can forget large parts of yourself as you see fit. You can even lose your name and come up with a cool codename like...Bass, Riff, Shale or Steel. Wow.
► While you are losing your own memories, memories you have of others and information they've shared with you seem to be still available to you. You will be able to recall names, faces, and their memories they've shared with you, but your own memories are harder to tap into and you'll have trouble recalling events and experiences you've been involved in.
► Although exploring locations as you have in past weeks may not yield results, you still may try to change things about the prism.
► More to come... keep your eyes and ears open.

What does "spiky" mean in this context...?

[RYUNOSUKE?]

But given the other specifications and his occupation... a place that can double as an office for his work might be good?

[9mon]

Um... Maybe like these?

[Creates two of these things on the wall, but in black.]

[georeject]

... Maybe...

[HELP WHAT DOES SPIKY MEAN]

I suppose if those count as cozy and comfy...

[9mon]

[They're... spiky. How can you be spiky and cozy and comfy?]

Maybe if we put them high up?

[graverot]

[he is adding a little tea taking area.]

[allomantic]

We need to make sure to add a cat bed, too.

[georeject]

[they nod.]

Kumon suggested a cat tower, which might go with the mismatched clutter aesthetic Ryunosuke appears to favour...

[allomantic]

They make towers for cats?

[she nods, though.]

[experimint]

Do boys like spiky things?

[georeject]

I have no idea.

[experimint]

It must be it...

[ wow... ryonosuke... learning so much about you... ]

[brotograph]

[ makes a hedgehog plush and offers it up ]

This maybe?

[georeject]

... Maybe we can create spiky cat toys...?

[brotograph]

Like cactus shaped ones! I think they have cactus shaped cat scratchers. They can be catuses.

[disestablishment]

... I am unsure. Mayhap he wants "acupuncture mats?"

[ MAYBE NOT BUT MAYBE SO? Aymeric will start with some hanging shelves, and on one is a scale of justice. He will not commit to the mats. ]

An office space would be good. Some organizers for books and documents, too.

[georeject]

... Was Ryunosuke ever into acupuncture...?

[they nod.]

Though it does seem like he wants some degree of mess. Organized lack of organization, I suppose...?

[disestablishment]

I believe it's used for health, rather than acupuncture as a hobby.

[ he doesn't quite get it. ]

... He can make the mess himself. The beauty of knowing where articles are in the chaos would be lost on him if we created it.

[pura]

Did he mean to say "studded" instead...? There are accessories that are studded with spikes.

[georeject]

M... Maybe...

[pura]

He can't mean an iron maiden, can he...?

[slashay]

[HE'S TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT TOO HELLO.]

I... Maybe, like... He just wants the vibes to feel spiky...

[pura]

What kind of feeling does the word "spiky" evoke...?

[slashay]

[The question of the hour...]

Like... [A vague hand gesture......] ...Y'know. Red? [The feeling of red.]

[georeject]

... I'm not sure how to combine that with cozy and comfy.

[slashay]

"Mismatched clutter" and "simplicity" are also kinda at odds.

[WHY HAVE YOU GIVEN THEM THIS LIST, SIR.]
