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!

[ RUFUS NO.

xie lian is unaware of this happening, so. ruoye hasn't decided if rufus is a cute enough person to get lots of pets, but it does politely stick its little bandage down a little, as if asking for pets. ]

[soulus]

[He's not cute.

Because Ruoye is asking . . . ]

How much will you pay?

[dianxias]

[ at least that gets xie lian's attention. ]

Huh?

[ ruoye also looks as confused as a sentient piece of cloth can possibly look. ]

[soulus]

[Oh, the owner's turned around.]

Are you aware of your cloth?

[dianxias]

Ruoye... [ xie lian scolds, gently - the bandage straightens, and then wriggles back towards xie lian properly. ]

I'm sorry, sir. I hope it wasn't bothering you... it's been a bit fidgety, today.

[soulus]

[Rufus, at least, doesn't look terribly bothered.]

What about you?

[dianxias]

[ ...??? ]

Huh? What about me?

[soulus]

Have you found yourself with the urge to behave differently?

[dianxias]

...Oh. [ ah. well. xie lian looks at his hands, ears turning pink. ]

You too...? [ everyone, honey ]

[soulus]

It appears to be the case for a number of us.
