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 - his arm is clung onto but he doesn't seem fussed about it. rather he looks pleased to hear that someone's asking around]

If I may - would you mind sharing your findings afterward? I'm trying to find if there are any similarities between what people are forgetting as well, though most of my inquiries are incidental.

Ah - but my name is Soo-won, preferably Won, and I've forgotten a political figure, I think.

[ great minds think alike! without any sign of being pushed away, alyssa takes that as an invitation to get all up in soo-won's personal space. hewwo sir. ]

Of course! The more eyes we have to look over the data, the more angles we're able to consider. Not everyone thinks the same way, after all.

[ with her arm still looped around his, she taps away at her phs—first she types something into the notes app, then switches over to the profiles one. ]

And noted, Won! Do you think this person has something to do with the revolution that's mentioned in your file?

[that's

that's a lot of space but it's fine right now he's distracted by the conversational topic]

There's a chance of it. There was recently a switch in the leadership of our kingdom. Such things are rarely accomplished alone.

Ooh, political intrigue... not my cup of tea, personally, but it does give some variety to what I've gathered so far.

When you say you've forgotten them—do you think it's just their identity that you can't remember? As in, can you remember the things they've done to earn their reputation, or is their entire existence just sort of a blank spot in your memories?
