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!

[soo-won is curious about the object but only gives it a passing glance, instead opting for fixing a smile on for emet-selch]

Do your constellations have stories? I thought it might be fun to trade, and see what tales are now sharing sky space with one another.

[arkitect]

[well well it's mr congeniality... emet-selch nods, at that.]

They have been given myths, over the ages-- as I presume yours have.

[recrowns]

Mm! That's right.

Tales of warriors so strong and beasts so fierce that their likenesses are etched into the heavens -

Are yours similar?

[arkitect]

Somewhat. They have been styled after tales of gods, in more recent ages.

[not his favorite, but he is aware of them, at least.]

[recrowns]

Gods... Interesting.

Do you have a favored type of tale you'd be willing to share?

[he'll listen to anything!]

[arkitect]

Favored...? Not necessarily.

[a slight shrug, there, a wave of one hand.]

They are not my gods, but they have been writ in the stars of our world nevertheless. I at least know of their stories.

[far less personal, more or less.]

[recrowns]

Hmm, do you think there's one that's interesting enough to share?

I know the stories of my gods as well... but I wonder how they compare to tales of other lands.
