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!

Not by strangers, not without warning.

It's really important to know if you are okay with them or not.

[ dic dub voice: remember kids, consent is important! ]

Then..... if someone asked, is it alright then?

[frostythehitman]

...Yeah, that'd be fine.

Because then I could tell them 'no.'

[ that isn't... you know, clonking someone over the head with a shield because that's Bad™ ]

[frostythehitman]

[moondumplings]

[ she just squints at him.

you were. gonna stand here in plain sight where people can narrow in on him and come charging? ............that's silly! ]

If you really didn't want people to find you, why are you standing out in the open?

[ she shoos at him to start walking. it's time to play hide and no seek ]
