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!

(He'll hold here there for a little bit, looking down at her with a certain type of smile. The kind of smile that seems playful and friendly enough but doesn't quite reach the eyes (even if it's a little better thanks to this week's effects),)

I always pay attention to what's in front of me.

(Whether it be people or his plans.

And he lifts her back up. The song is beginning to change into something more bubble-gum pop now which he isn't familiar with so it seems like a good place to wrap up the dance for now. He lets her go and bows slightly at the waist.)

[ hm. now isn't that a kind of smile that she would expect from him? unfortunately, whether she's consciously aware of it or not matters very little as the reaction is all the same as she wills herself to regain her composure.

or as much composure she could gather as she reels from some top class "gentlemanly" behavior that definitely succeeds and it frustrates her some. yes, yes...very talented.

she doesn't ruin their dance by being (too) rude but does lower her head in response, but not nearly as dramatic. ]

For how long, I wonder.

[ talk about a dip and split, but it's fine. she feels as though she needs to hide in a bathroom stall for the next 30 minutes. ]
