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!

Are all priests so deadset on their fitness regime?

[robopriest]

I don't know. [There's a light, amused huff from him.] You'd have to ask other priests.

[frostythehitman]

Don't see any around.

[ He watches Hansa continue his push-ups. ]

How many you done so far?

[robopriest]

Dunno. I don't really keep count. I just get into it.

...Why, think you could do more?

[frostythehitman]

[ He scoffs and tenses. ]

It's not a competition.

[ EXCEPT IT TOTALLY IS ]

But yeah, I know I can go a long time with pushups before I get tired.

[robopriest]

It could be.

[hansa....]

Yeah, but how many is that? I bet I could do way more than you.

[frostythehitman]

[ He tried, you know. He really tried to be the mature grown man that he is now and resist this needless, childish, obvious goading.

But here's the thing: ????? ?????? HAS NEVER AND WILL NEVER HIDE FROM A CHALLENGE LIKE A FUCKING COWARD ]

You're on.

[ He practically throws himself on the floor to start doing pushups. ]
