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!

[Sharon is entering the kitchen to make. . . some kind of meal, for certain. she does start a bit when Hansa almost runs into her, but then she steps politely aside with a tiny little bow]

It's no problem at all, sir. Might I help you with something?

[HE SEEMS CONFUSED]

[robopriest]

Me?

[He shakes his head, lets out a little laugh.]

No, no. It's no big deal. Don't concern yourself with me.

[maidforservice]

I can't say I believe that, no matter how much you insist it isn't.

[she lifts a hand to stifle a laugh, though it's more apologetic than her making fun of him]

Are you searching for something?
