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!

(He nods,)

Mhmm. Color me impressed.

I'm afraid I don't recognize some of the shapes, though. How about you?

[Hmm... she takes a closer look at the constellations, then shakes her head.]

I recognize one or two of them, but not most of them.

It's the same here. I see a couple I grew up seeing but it's almost as if I'm looking at a new sky.

It makes sense if this is a new world.

Which ones are the ones you grew up with?

(Hmm, he looks around once more. He knows he saw one earlier and--)

Ah, there. (He points to a cluster of stars,) The three bright stars going across with the line going down.

It's called the called the wyvern. See it?

(donttellmeshedoesntknowwhatawyvernistoo)

[i'm so sorry but]

What's a wyvern?

(What's that?)

It's a type of dragon. Not the grand kind from legends and stories but smaller and used for mounting.

(Yeah, people just ride dragons where he's from.)

[???]

You can just... ride dragons where you're from?

I wouldn't say we can "just" ride them-- it takes a lot of training to ride one-- but yes, there are people who can.

...I wonder if there are people back home who would think that was sacrilegious...

[...hm. Something occurs to her, then, and she has to cover her mouth to stifle a giggle.]

Huh? (Did he hear that right? He really wants to ask her what she means but the next thing he knows, she's giggling next to him!) Hey!

I can't think of many people would laugh when faced with sacrilege.

(You'd have to be pretty bold... or stupid.)
