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!

[um, who is this girl dragging him.]

W-Who are you? What do you want...?

[heartablaze]

[Oh. The genuine alarm gets her to let up a bit, though she doesn't let go of the boy's arm.]

Oh - oh, did I scare you? Sorry! My name's Hikaru.

Do you not know what the Planetarium is?

[favourable]

I've never heard of it.

[heartablaze]

It's a building over near the plaza, facing the castle! Wolf-san said we could use it to talk to people in the castle, but usually they have things for stars and planets inside. It's supposed to be really cool!

Do you wanna come with? It'd be less lonely with somebody else next to you for something new, right?

... I suppose I don't have anything else to do.

[heartablaze]

[She smiles brightly. This kid doesn't look much older than her...]

Then let's go take a look! And if you don't care for it, then at least you can say you've seen it, right?

My name's Hikaru. What about you?

[favourable]

... I'm Virid Visette Viridian.

[heartablaze]

[That is a lot of really difficult sounds in a row and Hikaru's brain turns off for about .5 seconds.]

Vir... Viridiri... Mn. That sounds like a tongue twister...

Is Virid-kun okay?
