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.

TALK TO TIGER

[retellers]

[ tiger can be found... well, lounging. they can be spotted sitting behind the counter in the emporium, flipping through a magazine. or in the inn lobby, sitting on a couch. or at the railroad station, sipping a drink, on a bench.

there may be a pattern here. ]

[horologia]

[ hm, a pattern indeed. ]

... You're a rather relaxed person, aren't you?

[retellers]

I'm not going to stand if I don't have to.

[horologia]

That's, um, very efficient of you?

[ other people would call this lazy, ]

[reconnective]

[...he will jump to sit on the counter and give tiger a cheerful wave.]

Hey. We were starting to wonder if you guys would ever show up. [it's sort of a joke, but hello, nice to meet you.]

[retellers]

[ they turn a page. ]

Pretty sure the others said we're coming this week.

[reconnective]

It's been a long week, you know. [it felt like forever. he tilts his head down to try and glimpse at the magazine.] What're you reading?

[suddenlybees]

The condom supplier...!

[ Kano finds him in the inn lobby when he comes downstairs, immediately beelining when he sees the mask. ]

[retellers]

Yup. Don't ever call me that again though.

[suddenlybees]

Condom dealer, then. You got any more on you, or do I gotta place an order?

[chanteuser]

[ sitting is incredible, they're valid. ]

Oh, it's your turn this week, is it?

[retellers]

[ they shrug. ]

Unfortunately.

[chanteuser]

[ wow she misses the other three immediately. ]

Where were you last week? In the castle?

[robopriest]

[Just leaning over their shoulder to read their magazine.]

Anything interesting?

[retellers]

[ they hold it up more

it's tabloids, although all the names in it sound extremely fake. ]

It's pretty trashy.

[robopriest]

Oooh.

[With a lazy sort of drawl:]

Who's hooking up with who? You have to let me know the latest gossip.

[siblingless]

[The condom supplier........

She hesitates when she spots them in the lobby, and then offers them a brief bow.]

Hello, Tiger-san. May I sit with you?

[retellers]

Yeah, sure.

[ it's not like they are allowed to say no. ]

[siblingless]

[cats with threatening auras... they are absolutely allowed to say no, though, wtf.]

Thank you. [And then. She will. Plop down next to them? Sweaty.] Um, so...

[.........]

What's your favorite food?

[exercisms]

. . . Hello.

[Just sort of. Staring at them?]

[retellers]

[ this is awkward. ]

... yes?

[heartablaze]

[this looks safe and fine

She's brought a bag of chocolate candies from the vending machines as she plops to a seat next to them at the railroad.]

You're Tiger-san, right? [Holding out the bag.]

Do you want some?

[retellers]

[ they glance over at her. ]

No thanks.

[axecessory]

[ she joins him in chilling, leaning against the emporium counter. ]

Got anything good for sale? [ he doesn't actually look like he's manning the booth. ]

[retellers]

[ without looking up, ]

You wouldn't be able to afford it.
