[ Well Meg is officially his favorite person so far, considering she's giving him food in greeting. Ming Yi accepts the half offered, picking some seeds out from the flesh as he moves towards the bar proper to sit in another chair. ]
Now I am. Mostly, I was looking to get away from the noise.

I find that it's one thing to indulge, but excessive destruction of property in a small space we're going to be living in for the foreseeable future is another.

I haven't bothered with the public bath, considering the mess. And whatever was put into it, earlier - I wasn't interested in dealing with it, or the people using it at the time.
[ He gets it. At least someone has a brain in this place. ]
If they want to make a mess in their own quarters, fine. But not out here.

[ i hope ming yi was enjoying some peace and quiet, because meg is here now, and ready to destroy it. she kind of throws herself down into a chair with a loud ugh. ]
Despair. Really, if they wanted us to indulge, couldn’t they at least give us something we’d actually want to do? Who wants to be stuck wallowing in their emotions?
[ she’s really just going for it huh ]

[ she’s really just going for it huh ]
No, not like this. [ He picks out a few more seeds, frowning. ] I think that was meant to be food, at some point, but I can't say for sure.
[ Ming Yi glances up from where he's been separating loquats into halves for eating, slumped into a chair within reach comfortably with his legs straight out, but doesn't seem particularly bothered by Meg's dramatic wallowing. ]
Aren't you basically doing that now? [ He offers her half of a loquat, arm flopped over the side of the chair to reach. ] It's not exactly a conventional indulgence, that's for sure.
[ In deadpan: ] "Seek the root of your despair; its cause, its results, the emotions it sparks within you and the things you are motivated to do as a result."

anything happen to you last night?
besides probably being locked in somewhere

considering there was only one name listed, i would hope you were alive
do i want to ask? the planetarium was tolerable enough once other parties stopped being "high out of their minds"

[

tamaki suoh's sin was also despair
the planetarium's stars melted down the walls, and everything went red
the simulation room controls were completely destroyed, too

[ ...oh. bad. ]
So, what, the lights were some kind of sign?
If that's the case, should we be watching out for everyone aligned with Wrath?
[ that hardly seems fair, but... tamaki was just a kid. then again, they don't know how the kid died yet. for all they know, it was an accident. ]
I don't suppose there was any sign of how it was all destroyed? It's hard to believe we'd all just sleep through some big commotion like that.

Very funny.
[ rolls her eyes! but she's taking that loquat, thank you. ]
I know the cause of my despair, thanks, and the whole point of being here was to get away from it. And now we're supposed to just... wallow in it while everyone else has a good time? No, thank you.

[ the kitchen is going to be their official meeting place by the end of the game. there's a tray full of bread and cheese and fruits sitting before meg, and she'll slide it toward ming yi to share. ]
So. Got any theories on what, exactly, happened there?

[ Honestly between this and the common room, they might as well claim corners and take root, considering everything going on. Ming Yi does not hesitate to join her, and reaches to pick through everything after his shovel is propped against the nearby wall. ]
Harrowhark believes that the skull found might have been used as a focus for a spell. It's viable - the practice is common in Zhongguo as well - but we're not meant to have our abilities here. [ momf ]

we can't say with confidence if that's the case
if there were other indicators elsewhere or not - the rec room games apparently changed to "fighting ones," for whatever that means, but nothing changed color-wise
something smashed the panel, and i would wager with blunt force, but i don't know enough about that level of technology to say what sort of power would have to be behind the blunt force to put it out of commission to that degree
[ bouts that ]

[ A hum - yes, very funny, he's a comedian - and he moves to split another one, tossing the seeds as he goes through the fruits he has into a bowl because he's not a heathen. ]
Apparently we can also cause it in other people, and it'll count. [ So, there's that. He's fine with that. ] I spoke with Despair in private about it - the Avatars don't gain anything directly from it, like a god does worship and offerings, and are instead here to just offer guidance for the situation.
Hence "the root of your despair." I would have thought the root of mine had been resolved, but I suppose not.

[ Honestly, he would've eaten it - he ate whipped cream right out of the can earlier, what's a little cheese whiz? - but he at least has the decency to not spray it everywhere. ]
Likely someone else thought the same thing and decided this was more appropriate.

[ meg points him with a piece of bread. ]
Exactly. So how would something like that work in the first place?
[ she takes a bite and chews thoughtfully. ]
Obviously, someone wanted to frame Wondergirl. They could have just taken her stuff for that, but if there was really some kind of spell involved... [ hmmm. ] ...Well, the Avatars did say this place will change to suit how we want to indulge, didn't they?

Her confusion and distress was genuine enough. Whether she has recollection of what she did, who's to say - when put on the spot, she was obviously nervous, and I doubt Mollymauk's contributions actually helped much.
[ And then, you know, fight. ]
If someone had a strong enough willpower to change this place, to fulfill some kind of indulgence, it could warp it. Maybe your theory about someone with wrath as their sin wasn't off. [ ... a. A beat. ] Did you get something, from the phone? A message, followed by a feeling.
