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!

Oh man, if I had a nickel for every guy that said that to me . . .

[bro gross]

[robopriest]

[WOW IS THAT THE TIME? WHOOPSY DAISY! SOMEONE'S GOING TO GET ROLLED OFF BECAUSE HANSA'S JUST GOING TO SHIFT HIS BODY TO GET HIM OFF AS HE STANDS UP, BYE TAAKO!!!!!]

[uhhhmagic]

[Just! On the ground. This is honestly fine.]

Oh come on, it was fucking funny!

[robopriest]

[Sure, he might have done it because that was a GALL of a statement to make, but even as he's standing, he's smiling to himself.]

You should know better than to make statements like that around a holy man, you know. [HE IS. CLEARLY AMUSED.] You just got what you deserved.

[uhhhmagic]

The holy guy I know makes way grosser jokes like four times a day.

[Actually bothering to sit up from where he got dumped on the ground, fixing his hair with one hand (the other is still holding cake.)]

And you're totally into it, you thought it was cute. Don't lie to me.

[robopriest]

Holy guys are cut from different cloth, come on.

[taako please your cake]

"Cute"? Goodness. I'm just amused at you getting your comeuppance from taking advantage of a poor talking bench, that's all.

[uhhhmagic]

I dunno, there must be some sort of connecting personality trait. I'm not saying it's a big one, but there's something in you that makes you wanna preach or whatever.

Like, I'm a wizard not just because I'm stunningly beautiful and also crazy smart, but I also just have an inner part of me that is compelled to fuck with forces beyond my natural mundane existence.

[robopriest]

["Makes you wanna preach or whatever"....haha. Preach, huh...]

Oh, so that's what wizards do? Sounds exciting! But kind of dangerous. I don't know what your priest does, but maybe there is some silver of something in common. Who knows.

[uhhhmagic]

Sure, in the large scope of things. I mean, touching the void is one thing, but sometimes you just want to throw a fireball at something.

Anyway, you don't have much in common at first glance. I mean, considering you're out here doing . . . pushups or whatever. Why? First of all? You're kidnapped.

[robopriest]

That's kind of valid. That must feel pretty awesome.

[And a shrug.]

Why not? Got to keep the body fit somehow, even in a situation like this. Its at least something I have some control over.

[uhhhmagic]

Yeah, it fucking rules.

[A laugh back.]

Feelin' out of control already? Doubt we've even reached the last of the cool twists this place is gonna throw us! At least, in my experience with bonus adventures.
