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!

[ ohhhhhhhhhhh there it is. ]

Ah, thank you.

... you were here the whole time...?

[dawnblushed]

Yes. Sorry - your singing was so beautiful, I didn't want to interrupt.

[chanteuser]

It’s okay, this place is open to everyone.

Not that I know enough about the stars to make use of its intended purpose...

[dawnblushed]

I never really learned much about astronomy, either. But the stars are very pretty to look at, so you can at least admire them while you're here, right?

[chanteuser]

They're just projections, aren't they? I mean, we're in here during the day and we can see them so... they must be.

I wonder if you can see the real ones outside. I didn't check last night.

[dawnblushed]

Even if they're just projections [what's a projection? yona doesn't want to derail the conversation, so she won't ask yet] they're still beautiful.

...but, I guess we can always look for the real ones once it gets dark tonight, too!

[chanteuser]

[ 24 hour stars.... ]

That'd be nice... I don't know much about the ones we have back home either, but they're still nice to look at.

[dawnblushed]

That's true. It's sort of relaxing, isn't it? Being able to look up and see them.

[chanteuser]

Yes... they must be easy to see here as well. It's so quiet there's probably not a lot of light pollution.

[dawnblushed]

..."light pollution"?

[she's never heard of that before]

[chanteuser]

When you have a lot of lights from buildings, and street lights. You can still see the stars, but I think they’re supposed to be brighter in places you don’t have it.

[dawnblushed]

Oh... I guess that makes sense. You're right, then; it should be really easy to see the stars here once the sun goes down.

[chanteuser]

Yeah. I’ll have to remember to set aside some time to look at them tonight.

[ looks at mod questions, looks away ]

[dawnblushed]

[im calling it: there aren't many stars because wORLDS ARE GETTING DESTROYED.



either that or there's just some serious light pollution here. either or.]

I was thinking the same thing. Would you like to look at them together?

[this is a great excuse for us to pc!! becks!!]

[chanteuser]

[ kingdom hearts styyyyllllle

or yeah

that darn light pollution. ]

Yeah, that'd be nice!

[ BRITT---!!! ]

[dawnblushed]

Great! I'll meet you outside the inn after it gets dark, then?

[chanteuser]

Okay, I'll see you then.

[dawnblushed]

I'll be looking forward to it!
