Prismaz felt warmth spreading throughout her veins; she was being accepted into a community. She wouldn't be alone anymore. She had potentials for new friends.


Shortly after she clicked the invitation that allowed her into the tribe, it felt as if her brain was being wired to several consciousnesses at once. Instantly, there was a myriad of voices flooding her brain, most welcoming her to the tribe.



"Welcome!"


"Welcome to the tribe."


"Hello!"


"Welcome to TDK!"


She was instantly overwhelmed. What was this-?


"What-"


"It's the tribe connection. Once you join a tribe, you're allowed to communicate with all of them via telepathy. It's like a bond of sorts." Peaceloverxoxo was quick to explain, willing to put Prismaz's mind to ease. "It can be overwhelming, but you can shut off your telepathy anytime you want to."


Shortly after she was invited to the tribe, she was introduced to the rest of the group."Prismaz." Rocky spoke up. "I'd like you to go to the tribehouse, meet the others. I'll follow you."


"How do I...?"


"You can access it through your ID; it will be there, along with information on your tribe."With ease, the ID appeared in Prismaz's little paws, and she flicked through the information, allowing a holographic projection of the tribe's status to flicker into an outward screen.


"There it is."



In the corner, a little house icon. Prismaz hastily pressed her paw it, and before she knew it she was warping in and out of different terrains, and into the tribehouse.


The place was quite festive and decorative. A homey appearance with wreaths hanging from it's rafters, the hearth lit by a fire as the stone embraced it's warm touch. Prismaz stood in awe as a group of countless mice converged by the living room to greet her.


"This," Rocky gestured to the conjugation of mice. "Is the tribe- or some of it, anyways. Most are off doing their own thing, or simply sleeping."


Prismaz nodded her head dumbly, tail curling with the movement.


"Come." There was a grin upon the gray mouse's face. "I'll introduce you to the others." There was a flick of his tail; a gesture to one mouse in particular. She was of a small build; even smaller than Prismaz, though their fur was of the same hue. A small tuft of fur that sat out on the top of her head, sticking out like pineapple leaves, was wrapped in a pink bow. Her nametag read: 'Tikkimama.'


Tikki extended her paw. "I'm the co-leader of TDK, nice to meet you." Prismaz tentatively took the paw, staring with awe into the earthy mouse's black eyes.


"Welcome to our tribe."


"Thank you." Prismaz's breath was shaky and filled with gratitude.


"This is our Lieutenant, or second-in-command, Effishje." The next mouse that Rocky had pointed out was of a beautiful physique. Her zebra-patterned pelt made her stand out from the myriad of colorful mice, and an ebony halo hung like a shiny wreath above her head. Her scootaloo mane swept forth like an unruly tide.


"Nice to meet you, Prismaz." Prismaz shook her hand as well. Rocky ushered Prismaz forward, intent on introducing the newcomer to the rest of staff and members present. Once paws were shook and greetings exchanged, Rocky drew Prismaz towards him. Peaceloverxoxo was following closely behind.


"So, what does The Dichotomous Key do?" Prismaz's voice was filled with wonder and questioning, purple eyes wide with wonder.


"We essentially work as a family, a group. Sometimes we do events, giveaways and such. Oh! And cheesefarms!" Peacelover interjected for Rocky. Prismaz cast her a questioning glance.


"Cheesefarms...?"


"Cheesefarms are rooms where only a certain amount of members are allowed in in order to gain as much cheese as fast as possible." Peacelover explained quickly, and Prismaz just nodded dumbly.


Prismaz contemplated the idea of cheesefarms for a while- they sounded efficient, most likely easy. Perhaps she could join one in the near future? And if cheesefarms only consisted of tribe members, she could learn to sham with no fear of harassment.


"Prismaz, let's show you the things The Dichotomous Key does here." Prismaz was shocked to hear another voice- the mouse jumped and turned around to meet Tikki staring expectantly at her.


"Oh- um, I guess?" Prismaz was pleasantly surprised. She'd barely been in the tribe for thirty minutes and already their members were eager to explain things to her and even show her their customs. Prismaz's heart bloomed with warmth.


"I agree- and we're still up for that rematch of Uno, Tikki." Rocky's voice was tinged with a playful competitiveness. "I'm gonna kick your ass this round, mark my words."

There was a gleeful chuckle from Tikki. "You can try, but you'll fail."


Prismaz cleared her throat apprehensively. "Uno?"


"It's a card game you play- me and Tikki? We're practically the champions, and every game is a fucking struggle." Rocky was quick to explain, the gentle smirk upon his face twitching with the urge to remove it.


"Why don't we show her, Rocky?"
