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!

[ look, she'd tsun sooner or later, it was just a matter of time. though... catte. ]

Where?

[stillnot]

[ she points up to where she's seeing it. ]

It's kind of like - curled up.

[sacredchants]

[ izumo is absolutely garbage at this but she's gonna try her best because catte!!! but this means she's squinting like an idiot. ]

Is it? It looks like one of those coffee mugs to me.

[stillnot]

[ hmmm... she squints. ]

... Yeah, I can see that too.

[sacredchants]

The one over there— [ she points a little ways to the left. ] Kind of looks like one of those bird kites.

[ BORING SHAPE BUT YOU KNOW. ]

[stillnot]

[ she is familiar with birds and with kites and assumes this means a bird-shaped kite but is not? positive?

she looks up for another one... ]

That one could be a big sunflower.

[sacredchants]

Oh!

[ hmmm.... ]

Or a tomato someone dropped.

[stillnot]

The dropped tomato constellation...

Okay, now make up a myth for it. All constellations have back-story, right?

[sacredchants]

They do, but what kind of back-story could we come up with?

[stillnot]

I don't know. Maybe it's - someone was running to bring it to someone. But they were hurrying too much and dropped it.

Then it's like a "don't hurry too much" moral or something.

[sacredchants]

[ that....sounds kind of lame...

but it's not like she has anything else to add that's any better. ]

Would someone really waste some stars on that?

[stillnot]

Definitely not.

[ at least clementine knows it's extremely lame. ]

[sacredchants]

Should we say it looks like something else?

[ is that allowed? it should be allowed. what the fuck is the something else? please help? izumo is useless.... ]

[stillnot]

[ clem shrugs... she's not that invested in this game. but also doesn't want to negate izumo's tomato constellation just because she was bad at coming up with a story for it. ]

Does it look like something else to you?
