[she is valid.]

...do you think it's going to come to that anytime soon?

[shiftingwinds]

I really hope not.

[probe]

Me too...[...but they shake their head.] Let's talk about something more fun though. Liiiike...you're with Gluttony, right? What's your favorite food?

[shiftingwinds]

[immediately:]

Rice wine!

[that's a food, not a drink.]

[probe]

[they laugh at least.]

That doesn't count! Second favorite then.

[shiftingwinds]

Hmmm... probably zha jiang mian.

[i hunger]

[probe]

[noodles...lust seems like they're trying to remember if they know that dish.]

It sounds good, whatever it is! Maybe we can get the vending machine to spit it out sometime.

[shiftingwinds]

We probably can! It's been able to make everything else I've thought of so far.

So, we should try it sometime, when you're hungry. Maybe for lunch or dinner?

[probe]

Sounds good to me. I never really know what I want anyway, so a meal with another person is always a good treat.

[shiftingwinds]

We can do that whenever you feel like you'd like a treat!

[probe]

Sounds good to me. [they take a drink from their glass.] You should treat the others, too. I know Sloth and Envy would really like it....and Wrath always likes gifts.

[shiftingwinds]

Good idea! I'd love to get along with all of you, if I can.

[that's a big if though. stares at pride.]

[probe]

Well...that's gonna take a while! Some of us are harder to talk to than others. [lust is very aware they're one of the more chatty avatars.]

[shiftingwinds]

I'll keep at it! If the worst that can happen is we don't get along even though I try, but we definitely won't get along if I don't try, then I don't have anything to lose by trying.

[she's going to attempt to befriend every npc i'm sorry for your inbox, mods]

[probe]

...do you think it counts as an indulgence if you're a glutton for punishment?

[we support you britt.]

[shiftingwinds]

...I really don't like punishment, actually. Can we avoid that?

[probe]

...just be careful when talking to some of the grumpier ones and you should be fine!

[shiftingwinds]

...ahaha, I'll be careful...

[(narrator voice) she was not careful]

[probe]

Good luck. [they mean this genuinely.] Just don't get discouraged if some of them tell you to go away! You can wear them down eventually if you keep bugging them.

[shiftingwinds]

Oh, so it'll just take persistence...! I've got plenty of that.

[probe]

Good. It'll get easier to know what everybody likes and dislikes the longer you talk to us, but if you ever need hints let me know!

[shiftingwinds]

Well, I'd certainly like to know more about what you like, if you wouldn't mind giving me a hint~

[but also: pride's toplevel here is before lust's so i'm going with that thread happened first]

...and I think I could probably use some assistance with Pride. I think I might have embarrassed them.

[probe]

[...sorry, they immediately start giggling.]

Pride's funny that way. They're really big and tough but once you know how to talk to them they're actually very sweet. [lust is unfortunately a big pride stan.] You just have to keep bugging them and...y'know. Pride's Pride for a reason! You've gotta prove yourself and prove you're good enough to talk. They're very smart, so anything to keep their brain and hands busy isn't the worst idea either.

[as for lust...they take another sip from their glass.] I like dancing best. And music! White agrees with me that the music from the DJ booth really has to change but I don't know how yet.

[shiftingwinds]

I see...

[crap. shi qingxuan is heart full, head empty.

maybe a game of some kind? she'll have to check the rec room for a strategy game... they can play battleship but take a shot every time a ship gets sunk]

I'd definitely like to get to know them better! And you, too. Dancing, huh? What sort of dances and music do you like?

[probe]

[no absolutely play drunken battleship with pride]

I'd like it if you did, too. [to which? they don't say.] I like everything, but I think my favorites right now are contemporary and modern dance because I can make up my own moves! And I like anything with a good beat that I can sing along to and dance with. Like pop, I guess? And rock.
