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!

[It's dancing time!

Yona does not seem to have any problems with Claude taking her hand.]

I would love to.

[...although the dances in their worlds are pretty different, so this is going to be a learning experience. But it's okay! Yona's a quick learner, generally.]

(Taking her hand then! He'll give it a gentle, reassurign squeeze and step out onto the floor with her,)

Follow my lead, then.

(Just gonna pull her a little closer, situating her hand on his shoulder and his hand behind her back. It's just an easy three step waltz at first,)

I'm afraid this one is very interesting, at least, not in the beginning.

[Oh! Huh, this is definitely new. What's a waltz? But Yona glances down at their feet once he's got their hands settled, and follows the steps.

...easy enough! As long as she's careful not to step on his feet, anyway.]

Oh? Does it get more interesting later?

[riegan]

(Honestly, even if she did, he wouldn't mind.)

A little! Like... right here.

(He gives her a grand ol` twirl or two.)

[dawnblushed]

[Yona's eyes widen slightly at the twirl, but she goes along with it gracefully, and then giggles.]

That's a lot more fun!
