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!

Oh? What happened to all that talk about increasing our efficiency? You brought us tools, we may as well make use of them, right?

[ still grinning, she noses her way into emet's personal space and rests her hand on one of his arms while she uses the other to grab another rock in order to pass on over to usagi. ]

It's just being resourceful!

[ oh no how did she end up the rock holder. she stares it at with wide eyes. is this..... her bad girl moment? ]

We don't really have anyone to ask if they could unlock the case for us after all...........

[ with that in mind it's time to yeet the stone and hopefully remember to duck when the glass shatters.

it's fine. ]

I am still reviewing them, they were not brought here for you to brute force your way through the task.

[on the other hand, you know. he has nothing to do with this and it will make this go faster.]

I'll be wanting those back. Unless they shatter, in which case they're unlikely to be what we needed.

[me forgetting they disappear immediately bc it's 1 am: it's fine there's one that was just like gathered up into the rock bundle without contact it's FINE.]

[ sorry mr. responsible, there's only gremlin time now! which is to say alyssa laughs when usagi just fuckin throws the rock through the glass. she's a little more careful with her own, using it to bash some of the more jagged pieces of the case enough to be able to reach for the lockpick...

but as soon as she tries to close her fingers around it, it disappears into a small puff of sparkles. ]

—Huh? Where did it go?

[moondumplings]

[ welp ]

Did we get it......?

[ wow don't they look sus with rocks and broken glass but nothing to show for it now. time to just squint at the rock in her hand instead. ]

Does this mean this rock isn't it?
