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!

[ how dare you imply that she lifts ]

What? No way! Look at these spindly little arms, I couldn't do anything to you if I tried.

[showyourself]

[???

is she... defending her weakness? elsa blinks.]

Oh, I'm... sorry?

[axecessory]

[ that's right, be sorry ]

It's nothing to apologize for—you just caught me by surprise.

[ she just doesn't like being seen so easily, maybe. ]

I mean, strong isn't how I'd describe myself.

[showyourself]

No? How would you describe yourself?

[hilda is hardly a shrinking violet...]

[axecessory]

[ she's definitely not saying as much to be modest. case in point: ]

Hmm... A delight?

[ she smiles a little, more cheeky than arrogant. ]

I'm better for chatting with than fighting against.

[showyourself]

A delight. [she repeats it, clearly amused at the bravado, rather than offended by it. good self-esteem!!] You certainly are.

Luckily, I have no interest in fighting you, so... let's chat.

Do you know who did the fireworks?

[axecessory]

[ why do people agree with her on these things. stop making her more powerful. ]

I'm not sure, actually. I tried to stay out of the planning.

[ claude really deserves the credit for making this happen, but she doesn't know who exactly managed to weasel fireworks out of the leaders. ]

I've never seen them before here, actually.

[showyourself]

Me, neither, honestly. But at this point? I'm just rolling with it.

[what is ANY of this stuff.]

[axecessory]

[ niji when will we app moderns ]

I think that's the way to go. You'll drive yourself nuts if you don't let yourself go with the flow a little.

[ learning all this new stuff on the fly is r o u g h. but this isn't so bad, even with the noise. ]

Gotta say I love the spectacle, though. It really makes the occasion feel grand.

[showyourself]

[i played isabelle for two weeks and that was more than enough? back to ye oldes.

elsa clasps her hands in front of her primly, and watches hilda, rather than the fireworks.]

They're certainly something. If this kind of thing is going to keep happening, we really will just have to keep... letting go.

[she suddenly giggles to herself. inside joke?]
