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!

A: KITCHEN CONUNDRUMS

[Hansa is in the kitchen, except...he's not making anything. He sort of just wanders around, opening the fridge and closing it, frowning. He just seems...a little confused? And then he lets out a huff, moving to walk out-]

[Oh. Going to almost run right into you. Hansa shakes his head, lifting his hand in a gesture of apology.]

Ah, sorry. Didn't mean to run into you.

[What are you up to, priest man.]

B: SWOLE CLUB: START?

[There's a figure on the ground in the railroad station in the late, late afternoon. Is it a dead body already? Murdergame went too fast? Actually, no, its just Hansa, and he's just....doing pushups? Pretty effortlessly, too. Show-off.]

[...And look, he thought no one would come around here for a while. He's a jock. Let him live his life. (Or bother him or try to sit on his back. Whatever your heart dreams of.)]

C: WILDCARD

[Very much open for wildcard stuff and/or pcs! Hit me up on discord or vampirize on plurk!!]

[evocationary]

[ lup walks past him at first, holding a coffee mug. she stops, takes a few step backwards, and stares at him. takes a sip of her coffee.

and then immediately goes to sit on his back as he does pushups, sipping from her coffee mug. what a perfect way to start the day. ]

[robopriest]

[He literally doesn't even budge or slow down from the added weight. The only sign is him just shaking his head - you can hear the smirk in his voice.]

Ah, and here I was thinking I'd be alone. Well, the extra challenge is nice.

B

[recrowns]

[soo-won is looking around

and then he's going to notice hansa doing his push-ups! wow! luckily soo-won hangs out with a bunch of jocks and he's going to sit on a bench nearby and helpfully count - ]

1,001...! 1,002....!

[it's very complimentary of him]

[robopriest]

...Oh, come now, it can't be that much. I only just started.

[He says, not slowing down or stopping - he does manage to move his head to smile over at Soo-won, his tone amused.]

I guess I can be entertainment for someone, I guess.

B!!! how many threads will i have with crystal this game

[dianxias]

Hansa, are you training? [ when he seems to stop, anyway, or at least pause, so he's not going to interrupt him... ]

Would you terribly mind company?

A LOT. grabs all sisi cr and runs

[robopriest]

Hm?

[He doesn't stop, just looking up. Really, maybe he needs to pick a better spot rather than this train station for more privacy, but in the end, he doesn't mind.]

[He smiles.]

No, not at all. Go for it. I'm not the exercise police.

[stillnot]

[ Clementine reaches out to steady him, even though he seems to have caught himself just fine? Huh. Weird? She stops herself before actually touching him. ]

It's fine. [ but... ] What are you doing?

[robopriest]

Oh...I don't know, actually. You know that feeling when you want something to eat or drink, but you just can't quite pin down what it is you're in the mood for?

[He scratches the back of his head, before shrugging casually.]

Well, I'm sure it'll come to me eventually. No big deal.

a

[laid]

[Yeah that all seems... pretty weird.]

You kids aughta be more careful with old Raven! My bone's goin' brittle in my advanced age.
[Raven you are only one year older than this man.]

But were you lookin' fer something?

[robopriest]

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know osteoporosis developed that quickly in a year. Something to look forward to, I suppose.

[Yeah, no, he's calling it out.]

Hm? [Oh, that.] I suppose? I don't know, actually. I guess it'll come to mind eventually.

b.

[chanteuser]

[ i want to say she seems surprised but this, but (looks at her roommates in canon and looks away). she looks more surprised by the choice of location than anything -- there's a whole area outside with fresh air and trees?

but she does stop, pry open the container she's holding on her arms, and set a wrapped... something? down on the ground next to him. ]

You're supposed to eat pretty soon after a workout, right? I'll just leave this here.

[robopriest]

[do you really want to do pushups on the bare ground though "your hands are cyborg hands, hansa" still >8/]

Hm? [That actually makes him pause - he lifts up his head, looking over at the...something and then her.] That's for me?

b

[dawnblushed]

...

[Oh... that actually does seem like a good way to build upper arm strength...

Don't mind Yona just dropping to do some push-ups too! (Her hands are bandaged with cloth that definitely was part of a souvenir t-shirt at some point, at least.)]

[robopriest]

Well, looks like someone learned the meaning of wound hygienic.

[A gentle sort of ribbing - he lets out a laugh after he glances over at her, and then just keeps on going.]

Bandages sure look kind of colorful, though.

b

[exercisms]

[Swole club! Wow, it's the fabled pushups from the exercise robot! He's going to stop just to watch him while he goes for a bit!]

[robopriest]

[Oh, now he's just going to show off, now - he puts a hand behind his back, doing pushups with one hand as he grins over at Mob.]

You know, if you keep staring, I might have to charge you for being a spectator.

a.

[lecarre]

[She does jump when he almost runs into her, but. He doesn't, so it's fine, everything is fine.]

Oh--you didn't, so there is no need to apologize.

Is... there something wrong with the kitchen, sir?

[robopriest]

Huh? Oh, nothing's wrong with the kitchen at all.

[He even looks back at it.]

A good solid kitchen. Can't find any fault in it, no.

B.

[uhhhmagic]

[ Taako walks past him at first, holding a piece of cake in his hands. he stops, takes a few step backwards, and stares at him. takes a nibble of his cake.

and then immediately goes to sit on his back as he does pushups, still holding the cake. ]

[moondumplings]

[ they're really gotta stop meeting like this. at least this time usagi hasn't been k.o'd despite being like. waist height. she pats him from where she put her hands out to stop him from bulldozing her over. ]

Hansa-san-! Are you alright?

[ are you making kitchen unit runs. ]

b, bc i am contractually obligated to join swole club

[frostythehitman]

[ He wasn't going to go to the rail station, but, well, he was passing by and heard the telltale sounds of Physical Exertion. And now he has to know.

He approaches with his arms crossed and an eyebrow raised. ]

You couldn't find a better place to do this? There's gotta be a gym somewhere around here.

SWOLE

[cuedoves]

[ zuko actually thought he'd be doing something ridiculous, so the pusups give him pause. ]

Training? Good idea.

[ time for zuko to do pushups too!! ]

a.

[maidforservice]

[Sharon is entering the kitchen to make. . . some kind of meal, for certain. she does start a bit when Hansa almost runs into her, but then she steps politely aside with a tiny little bow]

It's no problem at all, sir. Might I help you with something?

[HE SEEMS CONFUSED]

[suddenlybees]

[ What are you up to, priest man............

Kano starts and hops back to avoid getting run into. ]

Yikes! Hi! Didja see a demon in the fridge or what?
