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!

[While Claude is chipper, Rufus is dreadfully dull.]

I'm not interested in socializing.

[riegan]

Ah, you're one of the "standing brooding by the wall" types, aren't you?

(Is he right?)

Well, no party is complete without one.

(There's always one. Or five.)

[soulus]

[Or ten.]

Unless there will be a fruitful discussion of the Realm there, I would rather not waste my time.

[riegan]

It's possible. I'm inviting our furry friends of the wood and who knows what they might say after a drink or two.

(Get NPCs drunk.)

But you won't know if you don't come.

[soulus]

[Clever. But is it clever enough?]

That's rather devious of you.

[riegan]

(Hah! That gets a laugh from the back of his throat and a perfectly charming smile, )

I appreciate the compliment but I assure you, I'm only trying to have a good time.

[soulus]

Is that so? Perhaps I'll attend, then.

[riegan]

Excellent.

(That was easy.)

I'll look forward to seeing you there, then. If you'd like, you can come find me if you want someone to talk to.

[soulus]

[The easy part is over.]

That won't happen. But I will be there.
