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!

[Ange follows very willingly, though she still looks a bit flustered.]

A-all right...! I am happy to come along, miss.

[... Embarrassing as this is, for some reason, Ange feels the urge to reach for her hand properly, instead of just being tugged by the wrist.]

[heartablaze]

[Oh! A pleasant surprise! Hikaru easily lets Ange take her hand, her grip firmer than one might expect for someone her size.]

You don't need to call me that, you know! My name's Hikaru!

I don't think we've met before, but it's nice to meet ya!

[lecarre]

We haven't--but it is my pleasure.

[She offers a quietly sheepish smile.]

My name is Ange.

M-- I mean, Hikaru, you are quite energetic...!

[heartablaze]

You think so, Ange-chan?

That's not a bad thing, is it?

[sometimes you just gotta Do Stuff, right?]

[lecarre]

Oh, no, not at all!

[She waves her other hand immediately as if to fend off that idea.]

Rather, I think it is quite impressive.

[heartablaze]

[Oh no what a compliment...]

Really???

My teachers always say I get kind of carried away, so I always thought it was kind of a bad thing if I wasn't careful...

[lecarre]

Hm... I suppose I could see why they would be concerned.

But to me, being able to be so energetic and enthusiastic about all of the things you do is a wonderful trait! I quite admire it, to be honest.
