[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.))

[ kaveh kneels down next to her. gently, he reaches for her shoulder. ]

... Tsuruno. Take a breath.

[ She does--automatically.

The breath itself shudders. ]

[ kaveh's hand gives tsuruno's shoulder a gentle squeeze. his other hand reaches for hers, just a hand-in-hand. ]

Take another. Deeply, now.
fanstheflames: (Just like fire burning up the way)

[ Again, she obeys. As though this is second nature to her. Instinct, to follow a suggestion. Maybe to act on an expectation. But regardless of the reason, she does take another breath and releases it slowly, fingers curling around his hand.

She wants to reassure him, but she wonders if he'd be able to tell it was a hollow attempt, so she doesn't even try. Not yet. ]
