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!

[ -- it probably sounded lovely until alex realised someone was listening to her and she makes a sort of surprised, wheezing noise instead. ]

[ aw, come on!!! ]

Don't edge me! Finish the song! [ lup hollers, like an asshole. ]

[ AHHHHHHHH ]

I've lost my place now?!

[ lup just groans, and makes her way over to where the voice is coming from. what's up, alex. ]

Here. [ and she whistles the opening bars to stand by me. ]

[ ahhhhgggghghghghghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ]

I didn't think there was anyone else here.

Don't be a baby. You have a good singing voice? Work it.

[ man, it's something different to be performing on stage knowing you're doing a set and having someone cryptid out of the dark mid-song.

but she takes a deep breath.

and then she takes another one just for the road

then she'll keep going-- and at least see the song through to the end. ]

[ lup whistles along with her here and there! and when she finishes, lup claps, with a little woo! ]

See? You did it.

[ she did it. ]

Looks like.

You know that song?

It's an oldie, but sure. Who doesn't know that song? [ like half this cast, lup ]

... Weird that we're from different places but the song's the same though, don't you think?

[ please explain the fuck out of world hoppin' lup does music just transcend the space time boundary ]

[ it's more like sometimes your canon breaks the 4th wall so much it's not there half the time ]

Eh. It's a classic.

[ the adventure zone, looking at the fourth wall: well that seems like something we don't have to worry about ]

It is. It always goes down well.

Do you always just stand in dark buildings and sing oldies? Is that a thing I should get used to you doing?

No, normally I said on a stage in a bar and do it instead. [ or at a desk. or in a window. ] I... it was just so dark and quiet in here I thought it wouldn't hurt.

It doesn't hurt. [ she assures her. ] Does that mean you're a lounge singer as like, a job or whatever?

Technically... I've been a secretary longer. But I got roped into helping out at Bastard some evenings, and I don't mind it.

At - what? [ she snortlaughs. ] Did you just slip in an insult to my parentage there or is that the name of the bar?

[ alex... laughs as well. ]

That's the name of the bar. It's not even the most eyebrow raising establishment name in Ergastulum.

See, now you have to tell me the most eyebrow raising one. Wait, let me guess! It's just called Fuck.

You’re on the right track, but no. It wasn’t called Fuck.

Ass. [ hold on. ] Shit. Darn. Hell.

[ ... this is way funnier than it has any right to be. ]

Try... more in the anatomical slang category.

Dick! Cock. Butthole. Boobs. Breasts? If it's a bar it has to just be Tits.

You said pretty everything except the one it actually is!

[ she sounds like she's having a good time, at least. ]

Pussy.
