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, shima was about five seconds away from asking her to dance, but he's going to grin wildly and offer his hand ]

Why of course~ I'd be glad to dance with a girl as pretty as you!

[axecessory]

[ oh boy, one of these types. she lets out a little laugh at his enthusiasm, a hint of color in her cheeks. ]

The feeling is very mutual.

[ though— ]

And what's the name of my handsome dance partner today?

[yamantaka]

[ can you handle a pink sylvain, hilda? ]

I'm glad it is!

Oh! My name is Shima Renzou, but feel free to call me whatever you like!

[axecessory]

[ she's perfectly okay handling a skirtchaser or two, no worries. she takes his hand, but just enough to lightly land her fingers against his, like she might shy away in an instant. ]

Nice to meet you, Shima! I'm Hilda.

[ she smiles, taking a step beside him. the song keeps going, but she hasn't quite started dancing yet. She just stares at him for a second too long before she laughs. ]

Gosh, sorry—I got so distracted by your hair I forgot what we were doing for a second. It's such a nice color!

[ she reaches out to fluff it a little! ]

[yamantaka]

It's nice to meet you too, Hilda-chan!

[ he takes her hand into his, fingers tapping against the side of her hand ]

Ah, you like my hair? [ he grins and ducks down for her to look at it more ] I dyed it so I could get noticed more~ I'm glad it's working.
