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!

Oh—um. Thank you.

[her wariness shifts, slowly transforming her face into a shy smile.]

You look gorgeous.

[dawnblushed]

Thank you!

[so, dancing is off the table, but.]

Do you want to get something to eat? There's a lot of really tasty-looking stuff over there.

[showyourself]

I wouldn't say no to something sweet. [or any food, really. but heck yea sweets.]

I don't believe we've met before. Elsa, by the way.

[dawnblushed]

I'm Yona.

[time to head over to... the desserts! yona's picking out a couple of sweet treats with fruits. yummy.]

It's nice to meet you.

[showyourself]

Oh, you're Yona? Usagi mentioned you to me.

[she's actually grabbing the same thing because? heck yum? delicious fruit tarts??]

[dawnblushed]

She did?

[huh! she was not expecting that.]

[showyourself]

Yes—that you'd never heard of a hot chocolate, and I should give you some of mine.

So... that's an open offer. Whenever you want.

[dawnblushed]

[yona beams]

Really? That would be great!

[can't believe we're getting cooking cr two games in a row, niji]

[showyourself]

[hot chocolate cr at that, maybe that's the throughline of all my characters: hot chocolate craftsmen.

elsa is now veering into just. cut fruit. yum.]

Just tell me when you're free. It would be a shame for you to miss out, while we're here—and who knows how long that will be for.

[dawnblushed]

Sure, I'll let you know. Thank you.

[and we have a time for that planned now! hurrah!]

[showyourself]

You're welcome—and thank you for directing me to here. I probably would've just... walked off, or something. [haha.]

[dawnblushed]

That would have been a shame! A lot of this food is delicious - you shouldn't miss it.
