[OPEN MINGLE]

WHO: Everyone! It's a mingle!
WHAT: Discussing recent reveals about the simulation
WHERE: Pairidaeza Architectural Studio
WHEN: Feb 3rd morning to evening
WARNINGS: Potential existential crises, discussions of death, memory manipulation, basically everything to do with their actual situation in a simulated environment.




[The actual setup within the garage-turned-studio is away from all the actual workbenches.

On one folding table are copies of multiple documents available around the X: The main document is a summary of a resident from a prior iteration that's clearly been redacted via scanning copies with stuff blocked out. Additionally are copies of the most recent newsletter with the memo on the back and photos of the hotel journal printed in black and white.

Lined up on another folding table away from the one with the documents is an array of finger foods: hummus, chutneys, and yoghurt dips with a variety of sliced vegetables, cheeses, cold cuts, and fresh pita bread. cardamom cookies, panipuri, and both vegetable and chicken samosas take up the other side. Mint water and fresh juice are in pitchers to the center. It's actually a little crowded.

Chairs are set up in small grounds and around the document table. And finally, a whiteboard has been rolled in for people to make use of in group discussions.]




((This is a mingle, so everyone is encouraged to threadjack, make toplevels, etc prior plot mingles have been done. Alhaitham and Kaveh will be around and participating but not taking the lead beyond making sure people stay orderly in the studio and have enough papers.

If you character has discussed the simulation with either Kaveh or Alhaitham, you can also handwave they texted them directly about it.))

Yeah, they would've seen how hard you fucked up.

[He's definitely gonna pipe up and be a catty bitch about it okay]

( haha, catty, )

Oh please, everyone saw that.

( hey guy. get a snack. spike your juice. she'll even raise hers? cheers. )

But you're right. They noticed. And they definitely weren't happy about it.

( sip. )

Yeah, but they would've had a frame of reference. Watching everyone's shitty memories and rooms, that kind of thing. Then there's you.

[nah he's good]

( ? )

Hm? I can't tell if you're trying to insult me or what, but I have no idea what you mean.

( which they are they even talking about now... )
limbical: (how long)

[personal profile] limbical 2024-02-04 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you really have no idea what you put everyone else through with your little act? Though you are exceptionally foolish so I suppose that's very possible, especially with Argalia protecting your ass.

Leave him out of this.

( a sigh, then the setting down of a glass. )

I'm maybe a little too aware of what everyone went through, almost like someone out there really wanted to make sure I knew - but what am I supposed to do about that? I can't take back what's already happened.

Apologizing now feels like I'm only doing it because it kind of sucks experiencing all of that - and would I do it again? I dunno! Maybe! But I told people I'd at least tell someone what I wanted to try before I do it, so here I am. Trying.

Gotta defend the guy who uses his dead city's body as a meat puppet. Got it.

[Even Daan has standards about his partner! That's sad! That's really dang sad Fearne!]

I wouldn't expect an apology from you anyway. That'd imply any kind of remorse about your actions.

But yeah. Do try to not be an absolutely fucking idiot next time. That'd be a big help, thanks.

Want me to keep yours in my parlor? I can make room.

( <- girl who lowkey wanted to keep argalia in a jar when she first met him. like, why's this an issue,

it's an empty threat anyway. it'd be an even fight like it was back in the mockery of the feywilds and it's not like the body sticks around either. so, back to her snack.
)

Go make your lack of self-esteem someone else's problem.

( shoo. she promised she'd behave, so she is! )

Openly threatening me in front of other people is yet another brilliant idea of yours, clearly.

No idea what my self-esteem -- lack of or not -- has to do with any of this. Got any other clever quips in that empty head?
