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!

[ kano is his friend? :( maybe ]

It is! [ he lights up, pleased at the recognition! ] I'm glad to hear you know of them. How nice!

Alright, let's see... "A thousand threads, a million strands. Reaching the water, vanishing all at once." What do you think that could be?

[suddenlybees]

[ This is not a lantern riddle, he has no idea what that is, he just thought the riddle has something to do with lanterns but it doesn't sound like that's the answer. ]

A spider web.

[dianxias]

[ me trying extremely hard to find riddles that translate into english for every thread.png ]

Hmmm... that's a good guess, but no! That's not it.

[suddenlybees]

Hmmmmmmm... Cotton candy!

[ IF HE EVEN KNOWS WHAT THAT IS kano already suffered an aneurism when Yona went "what's a lollipop" ]

[dianxias]

[ ready for your aneurism ]

...Erm... no. I'm not sure I even know what that is...

[suddenlybees]

Oh my god. I will make you cotton candy.

[ He has no idea how to make cotton candy. He will dip some cotton balls in sugar water and feed them to Xie Lian later. ]

[dianxias]

Oh, that's quite kind of you...

[ he absolutely will eat it. terrible. horrible. ]

That's not it, though. Would you like a hint?

[suddenlybees]

No, I want to solve it myself! It's, hum...

Air pollution. Smoke.

[dianxias]

[ with a shake of his head! nope. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ Are you sure it's not spider web? silk?? what other sort of water soluble threads are there ]

Does it come out of something's butt?

[ Hints please ]

[dianxias]

[ the bluntness of that makes his mouth twitch up, making an amused noise. ]

Aha... no, it doesn't. Rather, it's a natural phenomenon. Something to do with nature itself.

[ which could still be spider web but nope that's not it. ]

[suddenlybees]

Sunbeams.

[ Beam is a thread, right? And it scatters in the water or something. ]
