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!

[ Well, he's coming in to check the place out, of course! Singing wasn't expected, though; curiously—and because it is a lovely voice—Alphinaud makes his way through the dark room to locate the source. ]

[ she's hidden away like a friendly gremlin in some corner other-al, hopefully he won't stumble right into her in his searching.

the song continues, regardless. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ Thankfully, he doesn't! Though it is dark, when close enough, he can barely make out her figure, and so he stops to listen.

Then, when she's finished, he gives her a gentle applause. ]

Well done!

[chanteuser]

[ ahhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ]

Oh-- um, hello. I didn't hear you come in.

[arcsplainist]

[ oooh... oops ]

My apologies. Was your intent to sing privately?

[chanteuser]

Yes...

... but in retrospect this probably wasn't the best place to try.

[arcsplainist]

Mayhap not—I imagine there are many who will come and go today. Regardless, you have a lovely voice! It was a pleasant surprise to stumble upon when I entered.

[chanteuser]

Yeah... this place just opened up after all. [ silly, she should've thought of that. ]

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it?

[arcsplainist]

Of course! I do not think you should shy away from performing, either.

[ It seems as if she didn't want someone to overhear. ]

[chanteuser]

[ she didn't think anyone was here and y'all have thrown her. ]

It's my job a few days a week, so I'd be in trouble if I did then. It's, uh... I just wasn't expecting anyone here so you surprised me.
