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!

[ zuko is just eyeballing them.... leaf him alone he's bushed. ]

What are you doing? Watching us?

[ he may not attacc but he will be grumpus ]

[ in contrast to zuko's grumpus, fox's tone is perfectly cheerful. ]

Here to be available for your every demand. ☆ We wouldn't want people complaining that we're too difficult to get a hold of, would we?

So... no matter what we ask for, no matter how ridiculous, you'll do it?

[ wow what a fun dynamic ]

Within reason. It's not as if we can do everything, after all.

Fine then. Do a cartwheel.

[ zuko this is not what they meant..... ]

[ without missing a beat, ]

I'm not that athletic. Ask Wolf.

You're not even going to try? I thought you were here to help us.

[ still smiling, maybe kind of obnoxiously, ]

Write up a two-page essay, ten point font and single-spaced, on how me doing a cartwheel will help you, and I'll consider it!

Why am I being assigned work if it's your job to help us?

It'd help my morale. You want that so we can collect Nova efficiently [ i almost wrote lux ] and get out of here, right?

For some strange reason, I truly am struggling to believe it would help your morale.

Making me happy isn't enough?

[ zuko pretending like he's capable of being happy, ]

[ they tap their chin. ]

Hm...

Didn't you all say something about strong emotions being key to collecting Nova...?

[ wow he listens ]

Are you suggesting that happiness is a strong emotion you easily feel?

[ :) ]

No, but you could change that.

[ he's committed to this ]

[ their smile widens, as if they find this funny. ]

All right, but are you sure this is what you want to use up your one favor on?

Since when do we only get one?

Can't show too much favoritism to certain participants. ♥

As I'm the only person who would ever ask you for favors.

And that's obviously made up in the first place!

Can you prove it, though?

Who's your boss? And don't say the "Realm".

Well now, you're not leaving me with many options here, are you?

It's a simple question! It doesn't need options!

Yes, but the issue here is that you've eliminated my only possible response, I'm afraid!

How is the Realm telling you what to do? Last time I checked, forests and castles don't talk.
