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!

mingling...?

[ predictably, clem is a little uncomfy in a big group setting. she does okay with smaller groups, or one on one, but this is a lot? so she's being a boring person and standing against a wall and observing people. just. you know. making sure it's safe.

but she won't turn down conversation if you approach. and even though she looks on edge, she still looks pretty pleased with all of this. ]

This... Definitely beats the last party I went to.

let's play a game

[ later, she will loosen up a bit and leave The Wall. because thinking about that last party gave her an idea. ]

I have an idea for a game - want to play? We can take turns. One person looks at the profiles and reads something off of it - and the other person has to guess who's profile it's from. No peaking.

[ she doubts many people have memorized every combination of names and skills, after all. ]

game!!

[assistance]

[ she prob just has a wine cooler or something tame, but. she has a drink nonetheless! she's just casually holding it in her hand as she wanders over to clem, head tilted as it usually is. ]

Is this game supposed to involve drinking?

[stillnot]

I mean... It can?

[ it's not how it was introduced to her, but there's no rule against it! clem won't drink though. she's baby. ]

[in comparison, soo-won is just going to offer her one of the apple slices that he has on his plate, moving to now stand with her at the wall

he smiles at her words]

Oh? That's good to hear. It is rather festive - I'm glad they managed to pulled it together in just a few days.

[stillnot]

The last one was kind of a "good luck, us" party before doing something dangerous. But if gathering nova is just scavenger hunts, we lucked out.

[ and this party most definitely is not the calm before a storm! haha! ]

It's really impressive.

[recrowns]

[definitely not!]

I suppose that people who want to party simply can't be stopped.

Hopefully this feast brings us all good luck as well.

[stillnot]

I'm sure it will. It's like it means - that we all want to work together, right?

[recrowns]

It does!

... which might work against their friendly competition set-up, but I hope they don't particularly mind...

[stillnot]

I think we can work together and have a friendly competition at the same time.

Like when you lose to someone else on purpose at a board game, but only sometimes. Or something.

Mingling

[suddenlybees]

Give it some time.

[ hello... going to share the wall here for a bit ]

Who d'you think'll be the first to hurl?

[stillnot]

[ Hmm, she looks out on the group. ]

I don't know - one of these stupid kids.

[ but the game is like 90% teens so that really didn't narrow it down. also they're? her age? but she's calling them kids. don't worry about it. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano looks down at his empty hands, then back up. Stupid kid criteria fits, but he is not shitfaced. ]

Hm, yeah, low alcohol tolerance and tiny little bodies. Two galaxy rocks it's either gonna be Yona or miss Elsa.

[stillnot]

Do you have two galaxy rocks?

[ she can't match that bet - plus she honestly thinks those are the most likely candidates. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano grins and slides three galaxy rocks out of his hoodie pocket, just for Clementine's eyes only. He's loaded. ]

[stillnot]

Someone give you theirs?

game

[exercisms]

[Oh. He talked to her before, and she's talking to him again. But that sounds like something he can do.]

That sounds fun.

[stillnot]

[ she's definitely less on edge this time than she was last time they talked. she gives him a small smile. ]

Want to go first?

[exercisms]

Sure.

[Getting out the device. Looking at profiles.]

It says they're good at masquerading as a pirate.

[stillnot]

Raven.

[ she's pretty quick to answer for someone who's wrong ]

[exercisms]

It's Yona!

[Nice try, though.]

game

[dawnblushed]

Oh, that sounds fun! Who should go first?

[stillnot]

Why don't you go first?

[dawnblushed]

Okay, let's see...

[she checks the profiles]

Skills: fighting evil by the moonlight and winning love by the daylight.

[stillnot]

[ she raises an eyebrow... and thinks about it, looking around the room.

then points at Lup. she's confident in this answer. ]

[dawnblushed]

[she studies lup for a moment, then shakes her head]

I'd believe it, but... no! It's not her.
