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!

Since always? [and he's taking her other hand! now he has both hands.] Even if you don't feel the same way, you're my friend.

[ ty

i've rubbed my last brain cell on the ground somewhere under someone's shoe so i'm words??.... or. well. more like... izumo is going to be at so much of a loss of words.

how do words work? she has no idea. she's sputtering and blushing because this is too much.

i'll get to words next time. maybe. if she doesn't headbutt him. ]

[reconnective]

[naru go to sleep. but it's fine because the reaction's sort of amusing and he continues grinning like he knows he's won his argument.]

Well?

[sacredchants]

[ NO!!!! contributes to your comment problem as i finally have rubbed enough broken brain cells together to form this response. which is where izumo officially will not look sora in the face and only at their hands.

this... is so strangely familiar to something else and it makes her angry. angry and sad and just—she grits her teeth before she responds. her words harsh but her tone not quite as brutal. ]

You're an idiot for thinking that I'd consider you a friend.

[reconnective]

[the words are harsh and he does at least consider that maybe she's right, but there's the slightly lesser bite in her tone. and she hasn't let go of his hand, or left, and they're still having this conversation anyway so he shrugs.]

Oh well. Guess that's my problem for later. [he would normally not be so blase about it, but perhaps there's a point to prove here.]

[sacredchants]

[ what point is he trying to prove!!! but with his reaction and her words made, she's just going to huff and go back to looking up at the stars.

it sure is his problem for later and izumo isn't going to make it easier for him. i say...looking at things in the future and close my eyes. ]

[closes my eyes as well. but congrats, kids, you can hold hands and admire the stars.

what a nice, friend thing to do :)]
