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!

... A box.

[ Well. She tried. ]

[reconnective]

[...to be fair she's not entirely wrong, so sora tilts his head as he examines the sky.]

Sort of, yeah. But it's bigger than that! [with that, he takes dorothy's hand so he can use her own hand to point and start to trace the lines of the constellation.] See? It has a handle, too.

[misstrust]

... So not a kite, then.

A shovel?

[ She doesn't appear to mind Sora taking her hand to draw pictures with, though that might just be how she is on a normal basis. ]

[reconnective]

[it's much nicer when people just let this happen. he keeps a loose, gentle hold on her hand as he continues to trace the outlines of the constellation.]

I think it's supposed to be a ladle, but a shovel's close enough. That one's called the Big Dipper. There's another one not far from it called the Little Dipper.

[dorothy's hand is being moved to trace across the sky to find the other constellation.] That one.

[misstrust]

[ Right, why are people so weird about this-- Dorothy is content, humming quietly as she peers up again. ]

... Not very creative, but I do see the resemblance. The younger sibling, then?

[reconnective]

I think so. I wish I knew the stories about them, but I've never really learned about them. So sometimes I like to make up my own. But if you really wanted to know I bet somebody else knows.

[he just thinks they're neat.]

[misstrust]

Well, then! Tell me about one of the ones you made up a story about.

[ Wow her, Sora. ]

[reconnective]

[oh no. the pressure.]

Are you sure? They're not that great...
