Rude though it may be, I believe there are many of you who wouldn't care regardless. [they hold up the bottle.] Will this do?

[shiftingwinds]

That looks great, thanks!

[sqx has spent 80% of this game so far drunk out of her mind. ugh.]

[probe]

[they will pour a small amount in a wine glass for her before holding it out for her to take, pouring one for themselves as well.]

Now...how may I help you?

[shiftingwinds]

[she smiles, accepts the glass, and reaches over to clink their glasses together once greed's is filled! she's been learning.]

I just wanted to get to know you a little better! If that's okay?

[probe]

[they at least clink their glass to hers, even if they don't quite say anything in regards to her statement. it's hard for them to fathom something like that and given the lull of silence she may get the sense they're waiting for her to continue.

eventually, however, they reply.]

Um. Yes, I suppose. The guide did say you were free to speak to any of us and not only your Avatar.

[shiftingwinds]

Good! Sooo... what have you been doing to keep yourself occupied these days?

[probe]

Preliminary observations. [a sip from their glass.] While we had information about this group prior to your arrival, I prefer doing my own research before meeting with any of you.

[shiftingwinds]

Oh? Have you observed anything particularly interesting?

[probe]

You're all quite a disaster as a group. [STOP! MAKING! MESSES!]

[shiftingwinds]

[



she giggles.]

I can't really argue with that!

[probe]

[they lift both hands in a shrug, glass still in-hand.]

I would have thought the majority of you would have been taught some manners, but I see I was mistaken.

[shiftingwinds]

Don't look at me. My manners are impeccable.

[probe]

I believe I'll be the judge of that. [though they're being polite still so that's something.] Considering you haven't broken anything yet and you aren't the one who sprayed cheese and soda in common spaces, you have my thanks.

[shiftingwinds]

You're welcome. But, yeesh - if I find out who's responsible for the cheese, I'll really let them have it! The poor bar...

[she pats the countertop. there there.]

[probe]

We do have ways of seeing you around the base, so of course we know who the culprit is. [annoying...] It seems the path of destruction will continue to be a common occurrance.

[the poor rec room??]

[shiftingwinds]

[the poor rec room!!]

That's... unfortunate. Is that their idea of an indulgence, or...?

[probe]

If only we knew. [drly. so, so dryly.] Simple entertainment for simple minds, most likely.

[shiftingwinds]

There has got to be a better way for them to entertain themselves...

[p l e a s e]

[probe]

The base has plenty to keep all of you occupied. [and yet you bitches live like this.] Perhaps new suggestions are in order?

[shiftingwinds]

That might not be a bad idea. If I can find what I need to make it, maybe I'll make a sign - "ten things you can do instead of making a mess if you're bored".

[probe]

[....they just reach into their sleeves and pull out a piece of cardstock and also a sharpie. here you go.]

[shiftingwinds]

[i swear to god.

anyway. shi qingxuan takes the cardstock and sharpie, considers it for a moment, and then leans over to start writing.

ARE YOU BORED?
Here are 10 things you can do instead of making a huge mess and leaving it for someone else to clean up!

1. Indulge like you're supposed to
2. Play one of the games in the rec room
3. Learn to play an instrument in the music room
4. Go stargazing
5. Relax in the hot tub
6. Play hide and seek with a friend
7. Have a drink at the bar
8. Work out in the gym
9. Eat something sweet
10. Clean up the mess someone else has probably already made

she sets the sharpie down, then turns it around for greed to see it.]

What do you think?

[probe]

[oh. she actually did it. greed seems to read over her shoulder before there's a nod of approval.]

I think I'm looking at ten things that are a better use of time than property destruction.

[shiftingwinds]

I'll put it up somewhere after we're finished here. Maybe at the exit of the hall where all our rooms are, so no one can miss it when they leave their room?

[probe]

It's as good a place as any. [greed is fairly confident people are going to ignore this list and be horrible demons anyway but it's fine, there's an effort and sqx is far more tolerable than half of the others here right now.]
