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!

Thank you.

[It can count as a city if you just pretend... And now that they have accepted her request, she's just going to slide up to them. Gotta make Akira-senpai proud by being polite and social, okay.]

So... [Uh.] What have you been up to? It doesn't seem like there is a lot for us to do right now.

[retellers]

There's not much to do for us on this side either. [ they shrug ] It'll pick up soon enough.

[siblingless]

Right... You said the locked buildings were off-limits to you as well. [Smash cut to when CYOAs happen and they all regret wanting to unlock those places.] What do you expect will happen once things pick up?

[retellers]

Honestly? Anything goes. Since Nova's made of memories and reacts to people, it depends on all of you. Don't know enough about this group to predict anything yet.

[siblingless]

... Including anything dangerous?

[Because. Hm at all the people from fighty worlds, including her own.]

[retellers]

Don't know. There shouldn't be, but I wouldn't write anything out.

[siblingless]

Is there nothing we can do to prevent something like that, if it were to happen?

[retellers]

If things get dangerous, we'll be able to protect you. That's part of why we're here.

[siblingless]

[She furrows her brows.]

You may get hurt if you try to protect us, though. That's not good, either.

[retellers]

It's what we signed up for. [ they shrug ] Even if it's just a title, "leaders" are supposed to protect the people they're leading.
