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!

Luck is hardly necessary.

[he's capable of this, he just hates it.]

[reconnective]

But it doesn't hurt. [give him a moment to continue watching.] Have you always used magic to cook?

[that's an assumption, but what else could he be doing with his hand?]

[arkitect]

I could nearly be offended that you think I might need it.

[he doesn't say it as sharply as he could, though.]

But yes. Yes, I have, when it has been necessary to do it myself.

[more like just creating it, but it's roughly the same end result and a simpler answer to give him.]

[reconnective]

["could." he counts that as a victory though judging by the little smirk.]

I've never thought about using it in the kitchen, but I don't think it would've worked very well for me. [little chef would have probably been really pissed, actually.] So you have someone else who usually does it for you?

[arkitect]

On occasion, yes.

[perks of being an emperor...]

But beyond that, it is simplest to create it.

[reconnective]

[well excuse him mr. fancy man.]

Simple, huh? [he'll mosey his way closer to get a look.] What're you trying to make?
