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!

There's no real expectation with experience. I didn't get used to this until I was older, either.

[ And she gives his back a genial pat. ]

You'll just have to practice.

[until she was older - ]

I don't believe you that much older than me, Dorothy...

[but even so he'll laugh a bit - and try to become slightly less frozen in space]

Even if I don't wish to practice, it seems like this place intends on making me.

A few years can make a world of difference sometimes!

[ And she also laughs, finally drawing back to let him relax a little more. ]

But you'll want to practice for the future. You'll make a girl very happy if you're not so stiff when you hold her!

[PLEASE DON'T DO THIS

HE'S AUTOMATICALLY TURNING RED]

Er - I...!

While it's not that I wish to make any girls unhappy, I don't... really—

[know how to continue this sentence!!]

[ Sorry, she's just-- cracking up. ]

Too much to imagine?
