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!

[Just letting the kids bicker while he wanders uselessly, and then gives up and wanders back to watch Taako.]

How?

[uhhhmagic]

[He . . . he thumps it. Hard.

Then has to shake his hand out because ow?]

Ow, shi-- that normally works.

[It beeps?]

Wrong password . . . ?

[cuedoves]

[ zuko's still rummaging around.... but he also pauses to pay attention to taako 2's suffering. ]

Go ahead. Show us your stuff.

[ now he's just being vindictive ]

[exercisms]

Maybe it's somebody's birthday. Do you know Rabbit and Fox and Wolf's birthdays?

[. . . Just watching Taako also, because he believes Taako can do this.]

Wait, they don't have memories. So they might not remember their birthdays.

[uhhhmagic]

[Just nodding and then silently inputting what is obviously the password:

6969.]

[cuedoves]

[ nice. ]

[ zuko watches.... his interest piqued, even though he can't really see what taako's doing ]

[exercisms]

[The joke's not landing, Taako. The joke's not landing.]

[uhhhmagic]

[It beeps. Wrong. Making a grumbling noise.]

How about this . . .

[420 . . . 0.]

[Beep.]

Are you guys just gonna watch or throw out some suggestions here?

[cuedoves]

I thought you had it all handled.

[ he will be helpful next tag when classes are over and i can look up stuff ]

[exercisms]

[Leaning over and just inputting 1-2-3-4?]

[uhhhmagic]

[ . . . it pops open.]

Ah-- Wow. Security just gets worse and worse these days.

[Oh! The 15 dollar bill!]

Dibs!

[cuedoves]

[ god i wanted it to work so badly for comedy. ]

One down, two to go.

[ he just lets taako 2 take it for now because it doesn't seem very valuable... ]

[exercisms]

[Just smiling happily to himself as they walk towards the forest because he solved it. He did it. Not paying any attention to his surroundings or the tree right above them.]

[uhhhmagic]

[he tries to pocket it, but it just . . . disappears into thin air. hm.]

Where's he going? I told you guys I wasn't going out there.

[cuedoves]

[ zuko spots the tree--- ]

He was right about the code, and he's probably right about this. Hold on.

[ expertly scales the tree!! ]

[exercisms]

[Wow! Zuko just stood up for him and then instantly climbed a tree! So cool! Too bad he wasn't noticing this tree in particular at all and just walking while zoning out.

But from the top of the tree, Zuko can probably spot a toy hang glider in a different, even taller tree?]

Did you see something?
