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.

i. inn, Monday morning
[ This was bound to happen. His PHS must've gotten busted and now he's locked out of his old room and there are important things in his room and so he must camp out in front of number 15 until Usagi lets him back in. 8AM to 2PM are sleep hours, though, so he'll just be curled up in front of the door on his side zzzzing. ]

ii. garden, Monday evening
[ squints at everything in this room

Kano squats down in front of each little row of plants, peering at the veggies at all angles without actually touching anything because you know what they use to water space plants? Recycled pee or something like that. ]

Which of these is the Optunia cactus...

iii. ???, Tuesday late at night
[ Kano walks out of the ??? room with a saw in his hand. This is fine. ]

iv. Tuesday onwards
Ooh, I call shotgun!

[ Please somebody go to the moon with Kano.

Eventually, maybe, once they get far enough that the ice starts to appear and begins to thin out, Kano hops out of the rover and onto his feet. Ice won't take the rover's weight, probably, so the rest of the way past the sign will be on foot. ]

v. memories.........
Huh... What d'you think'll happen if we break a rule?

[ looking at you, number 9 ]

v.

[lecarre]

[UMMMM]

Oh no, my lord! I hope you are not thinking of doing anything terribly reckless...!

[suddenlybees]

Not terribly! Maybe, like, moderately reckless?

[ How are they supposed to solve anything without being a little reckless? ]

Sometimes you gotta push boundaries to figure out if it'll give, right?

[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.

iii is how many times i'll regret this

[papasha]

[Hm?

Both brows rise a bit as Kano comes out of the ??? room with a saw. He cannot believe.]

Where are you headed with that, Mister Kano?

kano swings around and accidentally saws off blanca's hand

[suddenlybees]

Huh? Oh, um. It's none of your business.

[ He is free to walk around wherever he pleases, right? Even if asked out of curiosity and not policing, Kano is under no obligation to say anything. ]

WHAT THE HECK HIS HAND?

[papasha]

[It's so blunt it makes him laugh slightly in amusement.]

Only curious. You looked like you were on a mission. Am I forbidden from joining you?

iv.

[pulsecannon]

Someone is excited.

[ Sure, let's go to the moon. ]

Couldn't they have figured out how to make lighter suits or something?

[suddenlybees]

[ He sure is excited! It's the moon! He hates everything about this! ]

Right? I think all you really need is the oxygen tank and the helmet...

[ What's the rest of the suit for but to make them look like jet puffed marshmallows? At least there's not a lot of movement required in the rovers. ]

[pulsecannon]

[ It also makes a lot of noise. ]

Really? Just the helmet and oxygen tank?

[ She can guess by the names what those do. ]

Why do we need all of this anyways?

v

[dianxias]

[ headtilt! ]

Perhaps we might lose more nova? What rule have you already decided to break, Kano...?

[suddenlybees]

Is that how it works...?

[ Some of you guys nearly died collecting nova last week, it'd suck if this is how they lose them. ]

And, well, the first three are a given. Some of these aren't even rules? They're, like, permission.

[dianxias]

That is true...

[ he has no idea how it works but it wouldn't surprise him. ]

Well, it would probably be best not to go against them, just in case. It does seem they are there for our safety, does it not? The only one that's a bit odd, perhaps, is the one about sharing memories...

iii!

[siblingless]

[Sir, they saw a child get decapitated two days ago. What the heck.]

... Um, why are you carrying that?

[suddenlybees]

[ Saws are too difficult to decapitate with, it's fine. ]

Umm... 'cause I am? Are you gonna police me?

iii .......

[bisouled]

[ this is the worst thing she's ever seen, and while she'd normally continue her holy mission of ignoring Kano's existence, she feels like letting him run off with a saw is basically being complicit in a crime. ]

Hey! [ immediately stomping over to try and grab the saw. any part of it. her hands are metal, it's fine. ] Put that back.

[suddenlybees]

[ Wow! Maybe he has some innocent construction project he's working on, she doesn't know that!! ]

Hey! What are you—

[ He has a good grip on the handle, but when Fiora grabs for the blade, Kano jerks his hands back and drops the saw completely before she can cut herself on it. Maybe it drops on his foot. He's wearing boots, so he's fine. ]

garden

[antaressnipe]

Please do not put any of those in your mouth before I have a chance to test its effects.

[None trust


Absolutely none trust]

[suddenlybees]

[ ALL THIS NONE TRUST IS KILLING ME ]

And how are you gonna test them? You putting them in your mouth isn't fair!

v

[stillnot]

Try it and find out for us.

[suddenlybees]

That's the plan. Wanna help me out?

v

[soulus]

Why don't you try it and find out?

[suddenlybees]

Way ahead of you~ Though, it's gotta wait until the end of the week, so if you want to collect from me, you'd better do it before then!

ii

[reconnective]

[kano what are you doing.]

What do you need a cactus for...?

[suddenlybees]

Murder reasons.

[ He waves his hand dismissively. ]

Do you know cactuses?
