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!

[sora...]

What is that supposed to be?

[reconnective]

[sorry he's like this. he's grinning widely and he's still pointing at his constellation that's a little hard to make out while he bends a little to be more on virid's eyelevel.]

Me and my friends! See, if you look at that line there, that's Donald's foot. And next to it is my shoe. The tall part all the way over is Goofy's hat though. [never mine that actually the tallest part is his own stupid hair but listen.]

[favourable]

[a beat.]

I thought that was, um, your hair?

[reconnective]

Huh? [he takes another look though and oh. hm. that sure is an angle.] Yeah, that part is. Oops. [there's a sheepish grin.] Goofy's taller than I am but I guess this is a little different. But you can see it? Really?

[most people have to be walked through it a little further but this is exciting.]

[favourable]

I guessed by your pants.

[the poof is distinctive.]

[reconnective]

[the fact that this is said so plainly makes him laugh.]

Yeah, that would do it. Those clothes were a gift from the good fairies, but they gave me an upgrade a little while ago. [a gesture to himself since he's wearing his kh3 outfit. the pants are still kind of poofy but it's fine.] Not as big.

[favourable]

... The good fairies?

[reconnective]

Uh huh. They know Master Yen Sid so they helped us out by giving us clothes with all kinds of magic in them. [he rubs the back of his head though.] Would've been nice if they could agree on anything, but they figured it out eventually.

[favourable]

... I don't understand a single thing you said.

[reconnective]

Oh, right. Not every world has magic. [he really needs to remember that.] Um...let's say that they made clothes that gave me more powers to help other people. Does that make sense?

[favourable]

We have magic. You still just didn't make any sense.

[he nods.]

But that's easier to understand.

[reconnective]

[he can at least understand that and has enough sense to look a little embarrassed.]

Yeah. All of us had garments made for us to help on our journey with magic in them. I guess it's just normal now. [...but hm.] What kind of magic do you have in your world?

[favourable]

Some countries have mages. They're less common in mine, but in places like the kingdom of Graphite, they use magic for everything—even boiling water.

[reconnective]

They must be really good at it if they can use it just like that. [now he has to wonder if donald uses his magic for things that simple.] Are you a mage then? Or do you just know about 'em?
