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!

[ staring... at the heavy box....... and then: ]

—Brilliant thinking! Allow me to search inside the fridge, then.

[ He knows he cannot pick that box up on his own, okay :( ]

[sacredchants]

[ izumo will watch him scamper off and mentally whisper "coward", but it's fair. if he hurt himself that'd be another thing to worry about. ]

Fine. [ back to the pushing. ] I'll take this to the counter.

[ in b4 the broccoli they were looking for was in the fridge all along? ]

[horologia]

[ please, that's the funniest timeline. let izumo and homura do all the work of shoving the boxes here, only for it to be completely unnecessary in the end.

homura just glances at him nyooming off and wonders 'did i just... give him an excuse to run away.' hm. ]

I'll just... go through my set over by the tables.

[ shove, shove. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ She sure did!! So he'll be over here, looking inside... You two have fun with your boxes o' broccoli. ]

[sacredchants]

[ SIGHS.

yeah, tons of fun with the boxes of broccoli that izumo will finally start to sort through once she gets close enough to the counter where she'll put her phs down on the table while grabbing a few heads of the broccoli over device to see if any will trigger.

results? none. ...for her first "layer". ]

[horologia]

[ someone close the door on him and get him stuck in the fridge. they can put a box in front. like pushing a nerd into a locker, but now it's cold.

because yeah, no luck where homura's sat setting aside each piece that she's checked onto the table, one by one. where is the special broccoli? not here so far, is what. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ THE FRIDGES AREN'T WALK IN i think. Anyway after a few minutes Alphinaud returns, holding up two large heads of broccoli, one in each hand. ]

I am returned, but this is all I was able to find. What of you two? Any luck thus far?

[sacredchants]

[ BE NICE. he's working his way up the very tall ladder of being one of her "maybe friends". ]

None with mine. [ she'll chuck the last one she was checking into the pile of rejects before she turns to alphi and examines his broccoli heads. ] So far anyway.

[ and because i believe in irony and supporting these girls to side-eye him unfairly in the future, izumo will give them a cursory scan of her phs only to get a positive reaction. ie. the broccoli's nova is absorbed into the her phs.

so.


closes eyes. ]

[sacredchants]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

[ the funniest timeline. ]

[horologia]

[ as if to punctuate izumo's exclamation, the as of yet silent confetti cannons outside the building fire off with a loud report.

homura also glances sharply, but she can guess what that means without even having looked, because. well.

she slowly sets the piece of broccoli in her hands back down. then unceremoniously sweeps all of the table broccoli back into her box.

we're doing great, gang. ]
