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!

[an enthusiastic nod. time to wait!

...he faces the squirrel.]

Hey...don't you want some nice, yummy treats?

Sora is a very nice boy, so he wouldn't trick you.

[ get into her hands, squirrel. ]

Yeah! And Rabbit would really like it if you would come see them. We're friends. [friends to the squirrel or to each other? yes. please come here, squirrel, his patience can only last so long.]

[ the squirrel hops forward... rabbit lets out a noise that sounds like a squeal. ]

That's it...just a little more. [come on mr. squirrel!] Rabbit, lower your hands a little and see if he'll come here.

[he's just delighted that rabbit seems delighted.]

[ rabbit does so... and the squirrel comes forward to feast. ]

We did it...

Good job. [he's very proud of them.] He seems pretty happy with you.

[it's the food and nothing else, but it's fine.]

Maybe I was really good with animals in my old life...

[ they did nothing. it was all sora. ]

I could see it. [he refuses to take credit, rabbit did their best.] I bet some of the birds out here would love you, too. We can visit them another day.

[right now it's squirrels and squirrels only.]

There's definitely plenty of them around.

[ doing bird things. ]

Try taking them some seeds and maybe some berries. They might even come sit on your hands and shoulders. [for now...squirrel friend.] Think he'd like the castle?

[ they look over in the direction of it. ]

... maybe. I never tried bringing an animal back with me.

Maybe you can try. I think having a pet could be nice so you're not lonely at the castle. [nobody said rabbit was lonely, but sometimes you just want other friends.]

Maybe...

[ hm. ]

I wonder if I'm good with pets...

You seem to be going a good job so far. [this squirrel is a wild animal.] There's only one way to find out.

... I'm going to try it!

[ the squirrel didn't agree to this. ]

[this poor squirrel.]

Good! If he likes it maybe other animals can come visit you, too. [sir this is a castle not a petting zoo.]

... I should probably ask the others before that happens.

Hm...I guess. [no they. should. ask.] Do you think they'll say no?

Maybe not all of them... I'm not sure if Tiger or Wolf like pets.

I wonder if they would if you introduced them to a good one. Like a dog or something.

[where the hell are they going to get a dog.]

Where are we going to get a dog?

[ they will just say it. ]

[...look.]

Maybe somebody else has a pet we can borrow? People showed up with stuff from home, so we could ask.

[except no he doesn't want to steal anyone's pet, that's mean.] Orrrr maybe we should just see how they feel about the squirrel.

He's small enough that it might be fine, although I'm not sure how to toilet train a squirrel.

Me either. [hm...] What if we got a leash for him? Taking him for walks might train him.

[the squirrel is still not a dog.]
