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

[ if you walk into the kitchen, you can spot a hajime!! she has a lot of different things gathered on a counter-- tomatoes, cheese, flour. as for herself, she's in the pantry, muttering to herself. ]

P-I-Z-Z-A... what's that spell? Yum...

b. emporium

[ or you can find her holding up some of the newly stocked items. in her arms are a large fox and goat plush, and she seems to be struggling to pick up a rabbit one ]

Cuuuuuute...

[exercisms]

[He's coming into the kitchen, too, getting a very random assortment of fish and meat items to feed a cat with. He looks up at the sound of a pizza song, though.

Oh. It's Hajime again.]

Hello.

[twitter]

Hello!

[ she makes a peace sign. ]

Are you making lunch?

[exercisms]

I'm getting food for a cat.

[See? Tuna can.]

Are you making pizza?

[robopriest]

[Just. Looking at her, then the plushies, and then back to her.]

Are you sure you aren't just going to bury yourself with a plushie avalanche there? Do I need to prepare funeral rites?

[twitter]

Can you play Ave Maria for me?

[robopriest]

I'm a priest, not an organist. Wrong man.

[lecarre]

They truly are cute, aren't they...?

[A beat. She reaches out to grab the rabbit one.]

Can I help you carry this, miss?

[twitter]

Gatcha!

[ she nods happily ]

It's not miss though, it's Hajime.

[lecarre]

All right then. Hajime it is. I am Ange, by the way.

[Either way, with the plushie hauled up--]

Where to with this?

[sacredchants]

[twitter]

[sacredchants]

[moondumplings]

Uwaaaaaah-

[ good thing usagi's here to swipe up bun-chan before it takes an unfortunate tumble. ]

How precious!

[twitter]

I know. It's so cute, it makes me want to eat it.

[moondumplings]

[ that's a weird reaction hajime, but okay. she, on the other hand, squishes bnuny to her chest partially like she's trying to protect it from any future noms but also because soft ]

I hope they don't mind if we take them back with us...

[ what if they leave a whole set in the lobby for free cuddles ]

[reconnective]

[well. he's entering the kitchen for an entirely different reason but then he spots hajime gathering ingredients.]

Hey Hajime! [he was about to ask what she's making but he can sort of spell.] Making lunch?

[twitter]

Mmhm! Do you want some?

[ it's not remotely done yet ]

[reconnective]

I'm okay. [please cook your food.] I didn't know you knew how to make pizza. Is it easy?

[arcsplainist]

[ He's only now coming into the kitchen, but when he sees the counter occupied and a girl rummaging through the pantry, he pauses not far from the entrance. ]

So I see you are already quite busy in here. Pardon me, I intend not to get in your way.

[twitter]

Don't worry! Cooking is more fun when there's people around.

a!

[siblingless]

Hello!

[What time of the day is it? Is Hajime eating pizza for breakfast? Oh, well. Yoshizawa offers a quick, polite bow as a greeting.]

It seems like you have quite the meal planned out. Please, don't let me get in your way.

[twitter]

[ honestly? sure. for breakfast. ]

You can have some if you want! I'm making a lot.

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano picks up the rabbit plush and plops it on Hajime's head. Don't move. ]
