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!

People do things they know are wrong all the time.

[dawnblushed]

...

[well. okay. that's true.

yona kind of deflates a little.]

[stillnot]

Haven't you ever done something you knew was wrong? Even if it was just because you had to?

[dawnblushed]

[she sighs, because clem is absolutely right.]

...yes. I have.

[stillnot]

We all have. So I wouldn't put too much weight into some out of context line like that.

[dawnblushed]

Right.

[time to look back at the phs again...]

Okay, guess who's skilled at "defying gravity".

[stillnot]

Hmm... Sora?

[ he's one of those magic-types. ]

[dawnblushed]

Surprisingly, no!

[stillnot]

This one's hard. I don't understand all the magic stuff.

[ so she has no idea who might have it, or how they can use it. ]

A... Alphinaud? [ he's a magic-type too?? ]

[dawnblushed]

No! Not Alphinaud, either.

[...]

Do you want a hint?

[stillnot]

Sure.

[dawnblushed]

Their name also starts with "A".

[stillnot]

[ well she doesn't think it's alphonse or alex. ]

Alyssa...?

[dawnblushed]

No, not her either.

[stillnot]

[ WHO EVEN IS LEFT ]

Ange...?

[dawnblushed]

That's right! I don't really get what that means, but it sounds impressive, don't you think?

[stillnot]

Magic, probably.

[ which she will set aside her annoyance over for yona. ]

... But yeah. Pretty cool.

[dawnblushed]

When I was talking to her before, it didn't seem like her world was particularly magical, so maybe it's something we could learn.

[she hopes, anyway!]

I can't use magic, but if we're going to be here for a while, I want to try to learn as much as I can from the others to take back with me.

[stillnot]

It probably means she's an acrobat or something.

... I don't think I could learn that.
