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!

[Standing near the snack table, eating a sandwich and not talking to anybody? There's a small smile on his face though so I guess he's having a fun time anyway?]

You seem to be having fun all on your lonesome.

(Says Claude who's come to check on his most helpful friend!!!)

My lonesome?

[Looking around? He honestly didn't even consider that he was alone - there's so many people here.]

No offense meant. I was just thinking how admirable it is.

(Really!)

To be able to find fun no matter who you're with... that's a skill a lot of people lack.

Ah. . .

[He still feels a little self conscious, but.]

It's been a long time since I've been someplace with this many people around.

(Oh, no)

Yeah, this is a lot of people and it's not even everyone! Still, it's good to see so many people having fun, especially after how serious and stressed everything was when we first got here.

[Nodding enthusiastically.]

Everybody seems happy. It was nice of you. . .

It was nothing. Just one of my many skills after all.

(According to his profile, that is,)

[mob...sora notices that he's by himself which means there's little to no warning before he approaches with a wave.]

It's nice, isn't it? Everybody did a good job pulling this off.

[He smiles when he sees Sora, and nods.]

It's nice. I haven't been to something like this for a long time.

It's been a while for me, too. The last time I saw something like this it was a festival in a different kingdom. [that was fun.] The good thing is that there's a lot of people here. That makes it way easier to get to know them better, and people don't have to be by themselves all the time.

It's a lot of people in here.

[It makes him a little nervous???]

Yeah, but they're all here for the same reason you are. Everybody who came tonight wants to meet each other and have fun. [sora has never had a shy bone in his body.]

You don't have to talk to all of them all at once either.

[Nodding. He is extremely shy, but he doesn't tend to be intimidated by people once he's met them outside of large groups, and he has met most of these people.]

Uh-huh. I'm glad I got invited to this. I've gotten to talk to a lot of people.

[The snack table is her home, so she offers him a smile after making eye contact with him on her way to grab another serving.]

Hello! Are you having fun?

Oh. [It's her!] Mmhmm. It's fun.

Right? It's just the pick-me-up we needed.

Um. I didn't get your name last time. I'm Kageyama Shigeo.

Oh! I'm sorry, it totally slipped my mind. I'm Yoshizawa.

Hey, Kageyama-kun! Is the food good?

[ she's bouncing right over to grab a snack, too! a cookie, maybe, but wow, she kind of wants to try everything?? ]

Hard to believe they put all this together in such a short time, huh?

[Nodding!]

It's good! I'm going to help clean it up after.

[ she laughs. ]

Good! They can probably use all the help they can get. Hey, maybe I'll stick around and help out, too!

Really?

[That sounds fun? Helping clean up together?]

Why not? We could even do a game, like... who can clean up the most?!

Ah - that sounds so fun.
