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!

[i'm so sorry but]

What's a wyvern?

[riegan]

(What's that?)

It's a type of dragon. Not the grand kind from legends and stories but smaller and used for mounting.

(Yeah, people just ride dragons where he's from.)

[dawnblushed]

[???]

You can just... ride dragons where you're from?

[riegan]

I wouldn't say we can "just" ride them-- it takes a lot of training to ride one-- but yes, there are people who can.

[dawnblushed]

...I wonder if there are people back home who would think that was sacrilegious...

[...hm. Something occurs to her, then, and she has to cover her mouth to stifle a giggle.]

[riegan]

Huh? (Did he hear that right? He really wants to ask her what she means but the next thing he knows, she's giggling next to him!) Hey!

I can't think of many people would laugh when faced with sacrilege.

(You'd have to be pretty bold... or stupid.)

[dawnblushed]

[Or both.]

Sorry. What I said just made me think of a friend of mine, and I couldn't help but laugh.

[riegan]

(Both is good.)

Now I'm interested. What kind of friend are we talking about? Let me guess... real stuffy, a total stickler for tradition!

[dawnblushed]

[Oh! He's good.]

How did you know?

[riegan]

Let's just say I knew some people.

But alright, I take it your faith involves dragons some how. And those dragons are pretty revered.

[dawnblushed]

Mhm. My kingdom's first king was the Crimson Dragon, and he was protected by the four Dragon Warriors.

...if you believe the legends, anyway!

[riegan]

An actual dragon? Or... a person that was a dragon, too?

(He's interested! You got his attention, Yona.)

[dawnblushed]

The stories say he descended from the heavens and became a human.
