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!

If there is absolutely any way at all to make it happen? Done. I promise.

You can hit it off talking about obscure nature facts. Did you know men are 6 times more likely to be struck by lightning than women?

[recrowns]

[wh]

I... did not -

And are they alright?

[THE MEN WHO GOT STRUCK BY LIGHTNING?]

[showyourself]

I mean, I don't know. You'd have to ask Olaf.

[she's joking. but she raises her eyebrows, like, hey, maybe you'll be next. watch out, woowoo.]

Did you know we blink four million times a day?

[recrowns]

[he places a hand over his own heart

like 'wow would this stop beating if i got struck by lightning']

I didn't... though now you tempt me to count.

[please don't you giant nerd]

[showyourself]

Well, someone must have done that to get the number. Wouldn't hurt to check, right?

[the idea of won sitting in the plaza, stock still, counting how many times he blinks is... incredible.]

Did you know gorillas burp when they're happy?

[recrowns]

Oh?

What is... a gorilla?

[showyourself]

A... large... monkey? I think.

[she chuckles.]

[recrowns]

You... think.

[sorry he's laughing a bit]

My, you truly are a fountain of knowledge, Elsa.

[showyourself]

Well, I don't exactly have one living in my backyard!

[she's laughing too, mostly at herself, and a little exasperated. they are banting.]

Next you'll want me to explain wombats.
