week 3, tuesday

[probe]

[wow, sloth makes it without falling asleep. who knew.

uh, wherever they are at! sloth will come floating right on up. do they ever walk? probably not. feet have not touched ground since eternity ago.]

Oh, hey! Found you!

[shiftingwinds]

[sloth is just getting an immediate hug. that's it, that's the tag]

[aubins]

[ sqx can get her hug in first, but when she's done he'll just open his arms to sloth. ]

Two in a row.

[probe]

[??????????????????????????????

???

?

they are BEWILDERED extremely, even if they accept the hug. very slowly, and uncertainly???? they... float... to yuri??? for a hug??]

Wow, you really came all this way to give me a hug? Whoa...

[shiftingwinds]

...please don't say that like it's surprising. You're great! You should be getting lots of hugs!

[sqx stans sloth.]

[aubins]

[ c'mon sloth. it's hug time. ]

Yup, all the way just for hugs.

[probe]

[they pause, like they're unsure? what all of this is about?]

Oh! Aside from Lust and Wrath, I think the last hug I've ever had was from my mom, or my brother when I was little!

[why do they say that so cheerfully? this is fine. they throw their arms around yuri to hug! haha, hugs! they'll hug sqx again too if she wants.]

Wow! A real hug! I... I don't know what this is for, though!

also w3 tuesday

[probe]

[I'm at work so splitting these is easier so all of you don't wait on me every time,

anyway at some point they also get envy! who will come by wherever they're hanging out, hello, what's up.]

Hey, you needed something?

[all of his multiple eyes have heart pupils, for the record. also, instead of the extras consistently moving around, one seems to have taken up permanent residence on his hand, and two extras on his face similarly do not ever relocate.]

[shiftingwinds]

[envy is also just getting an immediate hug]

[aubins]

[ and the same, when sqx is done hugging, envy will get the open arms for hug invite as well. hugs for all. ]

[probe]

Wh-- hello??

[he loves hugs but he looks so bewildered while they're both hugging him in turn.]

Um, are you guys good?

[shiftingwinds]

...I think maybe we should be asking you that?

[just. eyeing his ... eyes.]

[aubins]

... We may have gone exploring in the research room. We found a few photographs there -- time lapse ones.

[ he looks at the eyes as well. ]

Figured you might be due a belated hug, for some of the crap it looks like you've gone through yourselves.

w3, but it's MONDAY

[probe]

a gift??
okay okay, where do you want me?

[shiftingwinds]

do you like dogs ? were at the park!

[aubins]

where did you even find this many dogs to go in this dog park, wrath?

[probe]

hey, i wasn't the one that found them, that was all greed!
but i'll be there in a second, save some pets for me

[and they'll make their way to the dog park! they're leaving their general trail of fire behind them, but this time the fire just sort of curls into hearts before flickering away? i'm sure that's fine.]

[shiftingwinds]

[me eyeing these hearts like did someone love arrow the npcs


anyway sqx is absolutely petting the fire-breathing rottweiler, and waves enthusiastically once she spots wrath.]

Over here, over here!

[aubins]

[ eyes wide. the npcs are feeling the love.

yuri is watching the mach pop yeet itself around the park, and a particularly fluffy malamute that looks like it wants to pad over here and drop on him.

he will wave when he spots wrath. ]

w4 monday

[probe]

Alright. Go ahead.

[aubins]

[ oh i guess this is a group text, wao! ]

first of all, thanks. i used the vote counting power on saturday.
secondly -- is there anything stopping us from just... monitoring the voting box going forward?

[shiftingwinds]

right... its right there and were right there so if one of us watched it the whole time couldnt we see who voted ?

[probe]

And were your findings useful?
The box is there, sure, but can you truly watch it the entire time? And furthermore, could you trust anyone else to watch the box should one of you need to step away?
Trials are chaos, as I'm sure you've seen. Monitoring the box would be difficult even on the best of days.
So. I suppose the question is what would be your plan?

[aubins]

i was curious how many would vote with a clear culprit. i'm... both surprised it was that low, and also surprised it was as high as it was. so, yes, in a way i think it did help.

... sit on the box directly and trade off duties depending on who's needed for what.

[ is he being serious? i mean. maybe. ]

also just to make sure it was an observational thing, and not one of these mysterious "we can't talk about that" things we keep running into here.

[shiftingwinds]

id trust yuri to keep an eye on it if i couldnt and i definitely wouldnt look away from it if it was my turn to be watching

[me, writing a single trial tag on a busy saturday at work: sqx is here at the voting box the entire fucking time]
