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!

I'm trying to see what's down there.

[ a guppy! i think guppies are fish maybe. ]

[dawnblushed]

[peers into the water...]

It's a fish, but I think it's a little too small to eat, if you were looking for a meal.

[retellers]

Oh... no, I wouldn't eat from there.

[dawnblushed]

Oh, okay. That's fine, then. [...] So, what do you think of the town so far, now that you're here with us?

[retellers]

It's... um. Cute?

It's like a mini town.

[dawnblushed]

I didn't see rooms with your names on it at the inn though... what do you three plan to do when it gets dark?

[retellers]

We'll return to the castle at the end of the day. Our rooms are there.

[dawnblushed]

That sounds nice. Any chance I could come visit?

[...look it's worth a try.]

[retellers]

[ they tilt their head. ]

I don't think you'll be able to get past the forest.

[dawnblushed]

You don't know of any way to make it let me pass?

[retellers]

Um... why do you want to go there so much? We just live there.

[ they sound genuinely confused by yona. ]

[dawnblushed]

If you're told you can't go somewhere, it's natural to want to see it even more, I think.

[retellers]

But... it's just our house.

[dawnblushed]

People visit each other's houses all the time!

[retellers]

[ they shake their head. ]

I think it's more that... the Realm might consider that too much interference from our part. We're simply meant to guide and help you, but inviting you over all the time is probably overstepping some boundaries.

[ they add more quietly, ]

I'm not even sure if what we're doing right now is appropriate, but there isn't a barrier stopping it from happening, so it's probably fine.

[dawnblushed]

It sounds like the Realm is sort of picky.

[let them hang out, realm!! there's probably more space in the castle than at the inn, anyway!!]

Well... fine! I'll take that to mean that if a barrier doesn't stop me, it's okay if I visit. So, if I make it over to the castle someday, I hope you'll show me around.

[retellers]

[ they nod. ]

If it becomes possible, I don't mind showing you around. Um. If the others are okay with it.

[dawnblushed]

I'll keep trying, then.

[if you guys don't think she's going to attempt to walk to the castle every week she's alive idk what to tell you. get her killed so i don't have to hit up our dm every monday like "hey, so..."]

[retellers]

[ ... they will just nod, even though they think that's a silly idea, but yona is an independent woman and can do whatever silly idea she wants. ]

[dawnblushed]

...so, what sorts of things do you like doing, Rabbit?

[retellers]

[ they are very heavily considering this

for a very long time. ]

Relaxing things?

[dawnblushed]

...what things do you find relaxing?

[retellers]

Drinking tea, and... playing games.

[dawnblushed]

What games? Maybe we can play sometime.

[retellers]

Oh, well, card games are very easy to do.
