WEEK ONE: MINGLE

[retellers]

WEEK ONE: MINGLE (40 remain) Rise and shine, gremlins. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and it's the start of a new week. To the participants, yesterday's events may seem distant now—albeit not as distant as their life before this. Whether or not they notice, they will have lost a memory upon waking up. The barrier to the north is down, and beyond the bridge lies new areas to explore. Strangely, what was there last week seems to have been replaced overnight. That's not the only thing that's different, either. The participants will find that their lodgings have changed. Finally, should anyone check their PHS, Hajime, Pikachu, and Virid's profiles have been removed. 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. Furthermore, it looks as though the rules have updated. Finally, this week, the participants will find themselves drawn to one person in particular. Whoever that is, they will find themselves compelled to be close to them physically. The longer they attempt to resist this, the more compelled they will be... and the closer they will want to be, to the point that it might be emotionally and physically draining to not be holding hands or hugging them for several hours because you've ignored them too long. That's fun.

Oh, how terrible. I'll just bring him back something...

[no crushed bird on this day]

So even this far away from the ground, the stars are still out of reach... My, it's almost poetic.

[something something human possibility something ambition something]

[recrowns]

Oh! So are we even luckier to be able to be here?

[couple-dozen PLUS FORTY]

Fufu, do you think so? I'm a few years older than them, and I believe that all of this stuff is very cool!

[he's also a giant fucking nerd]

[evocationary]

i. control bridge

Okay, okay, what do you think?

[ she's just on the control bridge, in her new outfit that she has modified to look exactly like the image on the left. her hair is up in space buns, and she's wearing these. she tosses herself down into the captain's chair, and crosses her legs, sprawling like she's captain kirk or something. ]

Captain's log. [ she says, dramatically. ]

ii. cafeteria

[ staring at the kitchen door. ] Fucking Greg.

[ that's it. that's the starter. ]

iii. wildcard

[ hit me up on discord/plurk! i wanna do some VR pc threads so if that suits your fancy let's do it. ]

[maidforservice]

[hello goat]

[Sharon finds them while they are surrounded by woodland creatures, and she gives them a polite curtsy]

Hello, Master Goat. Are you having a lovely day?

[maidforservice]

inn kitchen.

[RISE AND SHINE EVERYONE, THE INN KITCHEN IS ON FIRE!!]

[. . . okay, no it's not, but there is a strong scent of burnt food in the air and a worryingly large cloud of smoke drifting from the inn kitchen's door. investigation reveals Sharon hastily flapping at a small stove fire with a kitchen towel. despite the situation, she seems calm]

Oh my. That certainly didn't go as planned.

[help]

tech lab.

[after the kitchen fiasco, Sharon can be found exploring their new areas-- specifically, the tech lab! she picks up a pair of science goggles and places then over her eyes, because why not]

Heehee. . . it's almost a shame the Chairman isn't here.

wildcard.

[I'm available for PCs! hit me up on discord if you want any!]

[arkitect]

[can we just make this also in space bc we can. anyway. you get three guesses who else looks displeased about this, and the first two don't count.]

It seems we are not to be left in peace, or with much room for privacy besides.

kitchen

[suddenlybees]

H-hey! Did you forget how to cook, or what???

[ STOP FEEDING THE FLAMES!!!! god, Kano snatches the towel out of her hands and starts sort of hand hovering waving her away towards the door. ]

[recrowns]

[this is absolutely also in space

but emet's response just makes soo-won laugh a little bit]

But now my questions to you can have a direction!

[NO]

[lecarre]

[She looks at the seat for a long, long moment... and then something bittersweet crosses her face, and she shakes her head.]

No... no, that seat is not for me, and not ever meant for me. I believe that is how it should be.

[Regardless...!!]

The stars are quite amazing! I cannot bring myself to believe this is all real, but even so, I am enjoying it.

[suddenlybees]

[ Could've stopped at "my roommates are guys" ]

Huh... So which things are yours?

[ If it's a home, some of these things have to be hers, right? Kano wanders over to the dart board and pokes the bullseye, and then frowns a little when nothing happens. ]

[lecarre]

Well... I cannot deny that that is the truth, but...!

Please be cautious as well. I do not want anything to happen to you.

[recrowns]

[ . . . . hmmm, he wonders about that expression. but there's only a briefly curious look on his face before he offers a smile]

Then I'm sure you'll be the most splendid Vice Captain or Navigator - or whatever it is you wish to be - instead.

[let ange have some confidence!!]

Fufu, we might as well get some good things out of being here, no? I never thought I'd get a chance to see something like this.

[arkitect]

You were brought to this place to begin with-- is anything else truly so hard to believe?

[Emet-Selch is here as well, looking out into space, but just with a mild sort of interest.]

'Tis likelier to be recreated here than true transportation elsewhere, but neither would that make it entirely false.

[arkitect]

They may take whatever direction you wish. That does not guarantee you answers.

[he's not that easy-- but he sounds more dismissive than annoyed by that.]

But then I expect you are used to that.

[suddenlybees]

[ Head... pats... for Ange ]

Aw, thanks! But things are gonna happen, y'know? It might as well be me, 'cause I'm, like, a baron or whatever?

[ Barons have some sort of immunity to something, maybe. Anyways, if somebody has to venture, he has less to lose than anybody else. People have already gone past the bridge, so... towards the bridge they go. ]

[lecarre]

[Soo-won is too nice to her.

But also. That's a mood.]

Truly! It is so unusual and yet beautiful... this place has been, um, really something, but I'm grateful for the beautiful sights we've seen if nothing else.

[lecarre]

That is not even remotely how that works...!

[JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE THE BARON, KANO...

Anyway naturally she's following. He gives her head pats and also she likes him.]

I suppose I will just have to come along to look after you.

[papasha]

A blender, hm?

[After a second of pause, he starts to follow after Kano. Not slowly, but not quickly, a casual pace, like he's in no rush.]

Are you trying to get the blades out of it...?

garden

[lecarre]

[...!!]

Oh, Sora!

Did you see this plant over here? [It is fucking weird, man.]

It is so colorful...!

[lionson]

I get the feeling that this isn't an everyday thing for you either. For you it's a bit of a novelty, but for them it's more normal. Most people will never go to space, but we hear about it all the time in my world.

[I was a fool and was looking at moon trips, not all the people who have been in space. Ur right.]

[lionson]

What, gonna break the window?

[It's not that he doesn't approve, but rather he wants to know exactly what kind of trouble they're about to get into.

That said, he does take a couple steps back.]

Re: 2

[lionson]

It's easier to believe 'whisked off to another part of the world' than 'whisked off to space'.

But I guess you're right. Even if it's a recreation somewhere else, it's still a real place. Real-fake? fake-real?

[suddenlybees]

[ It's exactly how it works, and while Kano throws a grin over his shoulder at the thought of being looked after, he doesn't say anything about that. He can take care of himself, huffs ]

Sure, sure~ Were you able to run past the barrier yet?

[suddenlybees]

Hmm, sorta like... the whole spinny bit!

[ The blades and the motor and the power cord to keep it all running. Honestly, it doesn't take a mechanic, just a hard enough rock to get the plastic container off. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ Well. He was going to go to town on the console of buttons, but he looks up at the window.

... ]

Do you think if I break the window we'll all get sucked out and ejected into space? This place is fake, right? No way that'll happen.
