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!

My, what kind of helping have you been doing for it to be not so pleasant...?

[She cannot see his raised brows in the dark, but they are there, bewildered.]

[ blink ]

Things like that are supposed to be difficult, aren't they?

Difficult isn't usually enjoyable. It can mean a lot of things you don't want happening, or things that can be a struggle to get through.

[papasha]

Well, I would say even dancing, or singing, or anything like it could be difficult to some people. They wouldn't find it enjoyable. Even talking to people, some find it hard.

[He tries to see if she can do a more steady spin this time.]

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

[chanteuser]

I haven't heard of many times saving worlds has come down to dancing or singing...

[ alex has clearly never played long live the queen.

and she manages a pretty stable turn this time, so hey! character development . ]

[papasha]

Neither have I, but there's a first time for everything, Miss Alex.

[He gives her an appreciative whistle when she lands the spin.]

Better already. We'll get a lot of nova back at this rate.

[chanteuser]

If spinning's going to save the world then we've got a head start, true.

[ she finishes up the spin and, rather than return to hold, pulls off a small curtsey instead. thank you, thank you, she's here all (static noises). ]
