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!

It's more fun to dance with other people.

[ochako is here, so! yona smiles.]

Would you like to dance with me?

[infreefall]

Aha, well... I'm not that used to dancing with people, but if you don't mind that...

[ shrug! ]

Why not?

[dawnblushed]

[time to go cut a rug!!

yona links arms with ochako and pulls her out to the dance floor]

Do you usually dance alone?

[infreefall]

No, it's more like...

[ hm, how to explain. ]

I only just learned how to dance at all, and it was just for one performance. I don't really know anything else.

[dawnblushed]

Can you teach me the dance you know, then?

[they can start with what's most familiar to her!]

[infreefall]

Ah... I'm not sure if it'll work with this music, but I can try.

[ it's. it's this ]

[dawnblushed]

[it really doesn't work with the music



but that's okay! it looks fun, so yona will watch her movements and dance along with her! she's like .05 seconds behind each time they switch moves but. it's fine.]

[infreefall]

[ ochako has to laugh at that - but not in a mean way! it's fun! ]

You learn fast, huh? Mina-san would love to have someone like you around!

[dawnblushed]

I try to!

[life's more fun when you can pick up new skills!]

...who is "Mina-san"?

[infreefall]

My classmate! She’s the one who taught me how this dance - she’s amazing!

[dawnblushed]

I see! I think she'd be glad to know more people are learning the dance, thanks to you.

[infreefall]

Oh, definitely! She’d be over the moon, especially that you picked it up so easily! You wouldn't believe how frustrated she kept getting with all of us

[ ochako laughs. ]

Could you show me the kind of dances that you know?

[dawnblushed]

Of course!

[infreefall]

[ that's perfectly valid, britt, i love you. ochako claps, delighted! ]

Nice, nice! It looks fun!

[dawnblushed]

[yona bows at the waist, then straightens up, beaming.]

Do you want to learn how?

[infreefall]

Yeah! I'm not as fast at learning it as you are, but I'll try my best!
