WEEK ZERO: MINGLE

[retellers]

WEEK ZERO: MINGLE (43 remain) Rise and shine, gremlins. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and it's the start of a new week. Speaking of new, if participants turn on their PHS, they'll notice another section available. There's also an alert for a new message, titled TEAM ASSIGNMENT. Opening it will reveal which Leader they have been assigned to. Furthermore, at the corner of the PHS screen is an icon of an animal, depending on who their Leader is. It is visible only to them and no one else. That's not the only change, though. Participants may not notice at first—or perhaps they will?—but sooner or later, they may realize that they're... missing something? Strange. Three Leaders can be found around the area, open (?) to approach. If participants want to speak to them more privately, or to an absent Leader, it looks like they'll have to go through another channel. Which is to say, the Planetarium is now open! Finally, for the rest of the week, the participants will inexplicably have the urge to be physically affectionate. That person you just met days ago? Time to cuddle! This complete stranger you ran into? It sure is tempting to hold their hand. This urge can range anywhere from minor to impossible to ignore, depending on the situation. Enjoy your bonding!

TALK TO WOLF

[retellers]

[ Should anyone wish to talk to Wolf this week, they'll find them outside for the most part! Walking around anywhere the forest, lying down next to the river, or, on some rare occasions, just leaning against the bridge with their arms crossed like some kind of asshole.

They seem... bored. And yet, they will barely incline their head in greeting should they spot you attempting to make eye contact. And only then. ]

[frostythehitman]

[ ????? wasn't planning to seek out Wolf, or any of the leaders, really, in his frenzy, but now that he sees them on the bridge, he immediately sprints at him

and throws himself at Wolf in a draping hug. Despite the gesture, though, ????? is snarling. ]

What the hell did you assholes do to me?!

[retellers]

[


i'm so sorry because even if it's technically a hug, the suddenness and the draping means that wolf will attempt to throw and/or suplex (depending on what the angle is) [surely not bucky, wow, a mystery] off of themselves with brute force like they have been attacked? ]

Get off.

[frostythehitman]

[ He lets himself be thrown off, because he doesn't want to be in this hug as much as Wolf doesn't. He stumbles backwards a few feet before he catches his balance again. ]

I'm not doing this on purpose!

What did you do?

[retellers]

What do you mean, do? You're the one attacking me.

[reconnective]

[none of you are safe from me i'm so sorry. also, why is wolf lying down next to the river??? sora approaches and he hovers over wolf for a moment, peering into their face and trying to figure out what the heck's going on here.]

Are you really comfortable like that? [he sounds kind of amused because he of all people cannot judge over for lying on the ground, but. gotta ask.]

[retellers]

[ It's hard to tell if they had their eyes closed or open considering the mask, but the frown on their mouth is entirely visible. ]

I've laid on worse. [ ... ] Probably.

[ what is a memory ]

[reconnective]

[rip to wolf's memories. and double-rip because sora doesn't see a problem with immediately dropping down to join them on the ground, sitting nearby to get a better look at them.]

Well...do you want a pillow or something? There's probably something softer at the item shop. [he will go get a giant teddy bear for wolf to lay on, don't test him.]

[chanteuser]

[ when i said i was getting npcr this time i wasn't kidding ]

[ alex catches sight of wolf leaning against the bridge and ... slows down a little. and then she peeks over the railing of the bridge to see if there's anything down there, or any reason why he might be chilling out here like a menacing statue. ]

...

[ she sees nothing ]

... ??

[retellers]

[ ....... they stay quiet for what is probably more than the acceptable amount of time before sighing. ]

Can I help you.

[chanteuser]

No.

[ hm. ]

Just wondering if there was a reason why you were... loitering?

[cuedoves]

[ wow..... relatable content. ]

Nothing to do?

[retellers]

People watching isn't my thing.

[ this is so boringgggg ]

[cuedoves]

And it's your job to watch us all week?

[recrowns]

[soo-won waves hello!

and then points at the mask:]

Did you choose yours for the symbolism?

[inevitable lone wolf joke]

[retellers]

[ hm. ]

Didn't choose it. Beats being a rabbit, though.

[ what did rabbit do to deserve this. ]

[riegan]

(Ahem, Claude might be a Golden Deer but today, he's on the prowl! As soon as he sees Wolf, he greets him with a friendly smile,)

Ah, Wolf! You're just the person I was looking for.

[retellers]

I'm not replacing anything you've broken.

[ please just say hi, wolf ]

[riegan]

You wound me.

(Hand to his chest??? He's hurt? Wow, very rude.)

But worry not! I have good news.

(And he holds out a folded sheet of paper to him.)

[exercisms]

Hello.

[Yes, a child is trying to make eye contact.]

[retellers]

[ great, now they have to be responsible for this water bottle child ]

... Hey.

[ 0.5 points for at least responding, wolf. ]

[exercisms]

[Why does everyone think he's a water bottle.]

I haven't talked to you yet.

[siblingless]

[Greetings. Salutations. She is absolutely going to try to make eye contact with them, and then smile and bow once she's succeeded. Let her get tutorial week 3/3, binch.]

Hello, Wolf-san. Can I keep you company for a little while?

[retellers]

[ why are you this way. but they'll incline their head slightly ]

It's a free city.

[ ... does this count as a city. ]

[siblingless]

Thank you.

[It can count as a city if you just pretend... And now that they have accepted her request, she's just going to slide up to them. Gotta make Akira-senpai proud by being polite and social, okay.]

So... [Uh.] What have you been up to? It doesn't seem like there is a lot for us to do right now.
