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!

[ yeah you can't help can you alphinaud ]

Oh, Alphinaud... Sort of. [ she sets back down on her feet again, turning partially to look at him. ] I'm missing one of my daggers - and since all these new things appeared in the store, I thought it would be the best place to look.

[ she's probably talking about one of the large blades hanging from a built-in holster at her waist and not something from the kitchen - there's a pair of sheaths, but only one is full at the moment. ]

But I think this is a total wild goose chase.

Hmm... 'Tis true it may come as too convenient to be stashed along with these items...

[ He takes a look around. ]

But I would be happy to assist, if you have a mind to continue searching.

It's more like... this isn't the sort of place you'd put a weapon. I feel a bit silly looking now. [ a beat; then she shrugs, offering a smile. ] But it's sweet of you to offer. The more, the merrier, right?

[ she taps the weapon hilt at her hip. ]

It looks just like this one. You'd think something this big would be hard to lose.

[arcsplainist]

[ He shakes his head. ]

On the contrary, even one's weapon can be easily misplaced, and we have met with peculiar circumstances, besides. How long has it been missing?

[bisouled]

Hmm... Since Saturday, I guess? I found the one in my room at the inn. Before I came here, though, I definitely had both of them.

[ who stole her daggy :( ]
