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!

waffles

[ there are so many friendly cooks here usagi thinks that no matter how weird the situation, this is the best thing ever. her and her tummy really is in heaven ]

Really? You don't mind??

[ she says like she's not already honing in on the delicious stack and planning her attack ]

[chanteuser]

[ wow if she said "no" now it'd probably still be a lost cause... ]

I can't eat all of them. Wasting them would be worse.

[moondumplings]

[ yeah basically ]

It smells so good........

[ her stomach agrees loudly while she sticks her head in the fridge for extra toppings. it's fine. ]

And strawberries too?

[ don't think she's not eyeing that as well ]

[chanteuser]

If it can go on a waffle, we can use it. Strawberries are fine.

[ get you some berries, girl. ]

[moondumplings]

[ she's coming back with the whipped cream and chocolate and all the toppings in the world to make this a horrifically diabetic mess ]

Do you have any favorite toppings?

[chanteuser]

[ oh wow. yup that's a sugar rush waiting to happen. ]

Strawberries and blueberries taste good with it. And then a little maple syrup and powdered sugar to top it off.

[moondumplings]

Mmm.......... that's good too.

[ despite the dreamy quality in her voice she's perfectly focused on creating that terrible cake tower of waffles, whipped cream, and strawberries with chocolate syrup on top. don't ask how many layers it has because even i don't want to know. that being said, she pauses and frowns at her lopsided creation and frowns in thought ]

.......Do you think it's missing something?

[chanteuser]

[ looks at the waffle stack

looks into the camera like she’s in the office ]

I... um. I’m not sure? It seems like you’ve got quite a lot of toppings on there.

[moondumplings]

[ you can never have Too Many Toppings.

that being said with a thoughtful hum, usagi puts a whole strawberry on top instead of a cherry and beams at her creation ]

There! Perfect.


[ i hope alex isn't watching cause it's be vanishing shortly ]

[chanteuser]

[ she is absolutely watching and looks like she really isn't sure what to say. ]

...

Enjoying it?

[moondumplings]

TEXT[ it's like watching a nature documentary. you just can't look away ]

Mm! It's really, really good!

[chanteuser]

[ morbidly fascinating. ]

Do you like things like this? Waffles, and... pancakes and stuff like that?

[moondumplings]

Mm! They're my favorite. [ with the more sugar the better ]

But also crepes, parfaits, fruit sandos-

[ this list goes on for a while ]

[chanteuser]

[ USAGI your BLOOD SUGAR ]

-- Fruit sando?

[ what's a fruit sando? please explain. ]

[moondumplings]

[ it's fine she's a shoujo protag ]

Fruit Sandwiches...! They're really popular back home. Mama makes them all the time!! They're just sliced fruit and whipped cream in bread.

[ god bless japan ]

[chanteuser]

[ ... ]

And that tastes... good? [ yes alex, they do. ] Why in a sandwich though, you could just chop fruit and put it in a bowl with cream.
