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!

[ okay okay, she's had her fun. time to nip this joke before it gets mean. ]

Sure, if they're human.

[ she laughs, good-natured. ]

Sorry, Hikaru—I mean the Blue Lions was the name of one of our classes back home.

[heartablaze]

[Oh.

Ohhhhh.

She starts to slowly flush red across her cheeks as she realizes that she probably made a mistake.]

So... not actual lions?

[axecessory]

Nope, just a bunch of stuffy noble kids, mostly.

[ she smiles and gently pats her head. no getting embarrassed! ]

I mean, I'm not an actual Golden Deer either.

[heartablaze]

You definitely don't look like a deer, huh...?

[She'll bow her head under that touch a little, apologetic.]

Sorry. I guess I should've asked before I said something silly like that.

[axecessory]

It's not silly! You're fine, I was just teasing.

[ The headpat wasn't enough, so she smooths her fingers through her hair in a comforting gesture. ]

We've got the Golden Deer, Blue Lions, and Black Eagles. [ and the wolves, kind of. ] I wonder what class would suit you?

[heartablaze]

Ummm...

Lion, probably? That's part of what my family's name means.

[Hikaru, that's not how classes work.]
