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!

[ she's going to take that in the way that means she doesn't have to spill her guts! ]

Do you know what you lost yet?

[showyourself]

Yes. I knew almost immediately.

[her eyes dart to the side.]

Do you?

[evocationary]

Almost immediately. [ she echoes. ] Not a fan.

I'm sorry. I know it must be hard.

[evocationary]

It is. [ she stares down at the ground. ] But I'm not planning on letting it be permanent.

[it sounds like she doesn't want to talk about it, either. so. elsa just leans here, feeling a little awkward. should she go??]

[evocationary]

[ nah, lup keeps leaning. ]

What do you think collecting nova's going to entail?

[showyourself]

I'm not sure.

Maybe we just have to go looking for it. Maybe it's a puzzle. Or maybe there's more to it that we haven't seen yet.

There's a lot of young people here, though. So whatever it is, I hope it's not dangerous. I don't want to see anyone get hurt.
