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!

... Well, if we had to sing for something, then I'm happy to help out.

[ but just randomly singing... you'd think she'd have got used to this since doing it for a literal job but it feels a little different. ]

[recrowns]

[there's just a smile at that - ]

Had you heard of the feast that - I believe Claude...? - is planning? Perhaps if he's still seeking music and entertainment...

[chanteuser]

Yeah, I've heard about it. [ ... ] I meant more if we had to for some reason, to... I don't know. Get out of here.

I enjoy my job but I sort of got roped into it. And then it was by someone--[ can she still use the present tense here? ]-- someone I trusted, so it was okay, but--

[ y'know. it was to people she owed, or would come to owe a lot to, essentially. ]

[recrowns]

[singing to escape... he hums thoughtfully at that - before nodding along easily]

I see. So you did it to help a friend. That's kind of you.

[chanteuser]

... I sorta got put on the spot and he hammered the last nail in, but we'll go with that.

[recrowns]

[sdflkjsdf

he laughs a little]

So you withstood the nattering and pestering of someone important, and ultimately went with his wishes.

That's kind of you.

[chanteuser]

I just got told I was their new singer and then Worick guilt tripped me after signing me up in the first place.

[ angy

but not really ]
