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.

[THESE OLDIES HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON

but soo-won just smiles]

It could be your seat in time if you'd like it to be.

[he thinks ange would be a very sweet captain]

But it is rather impressive, no? I saw the stars in the planetarium, but these feel much closer.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[recrowns]

[Soo-won is too nice in general but Ange deserves it, okay.]

Mm - who would have thought that a moon could possess ice?

[he has no idea if that's normal]

[lecarre]

[yeah her neither]

It is rather strange, isn't it...? The moon always seemed very warm to me.

[recrowns]

Oh? Because it is like the sun of the night?

[??? he can't imagine why else]

[lecarre]

Well.. yes! It brightens up the night sky, doesn't it?

That seems like a very warm trait.

[recrowns]

[there's a smile at that]

Mm, you're not wrong. I always thought that moon was very cool - unreachable, but illuminating the sky as a guide even in the darkness. It sounds impressive, no? It has such an important task.

[lecarre]

[... Unreachable, huh...]

That is true.

But it turns out it is not so unreachable after all, right? We can reach it right now.

Why... it is so close it almost feels as though you could touch it just by reaching out.

[recrowns]

[he nods!]

You're right - supposedly we could even stand upon it. To stand upon the moon...

[he looks excited at the prospect]

It seems that with time and possibility, different worlds are capable of truly amazing things.

[lecarre]

[She giggles at that.]

We already knew that, did we not, Mister Won?

The number of amazing things I have learned that everyone here is able to do, or that is common in their worlds is truly incredible...!

Perhaps it is no surprise the Realm can be just as amazing.

[recrowns]

[there's a bit of a laugh]

I wonder if the Realm is responding to someone's memories.... or another world's memories, maybe?

They're quite lucky, if they get to walk on the moon so casually.

[lecarre]

[!!]

Oh, I had not thought of that at all. They truly would be lucky...

[...]

There has been a lot of outer space themed things, hasn't there? I wonder if perhaps our Leaders' memories have to do with space.

[recrowns]

[he nods at that]

Perhaps - do you think their memories might've generated this space for the Realm to capture?

[lecarre]

Perhaps... if it is important to one of them, or multiple of them...

[She tilts her head.]

Is it not a possibility? I wonder if it feels familiar to any of them.

[recrowns]

Maybe we should take them out here and see if it jogs their memory any.... Though that may be cheating.

[lecarre]

Do you think so...? I believe they deserve to have their memories returned, even if we have not collected enough nova. They already paid with them, so getting them back by an unrelated situation... is surely fair.

[recrowns]

Hm... that's possible.

[soo-won offers a smile at that]

I still think they're rather impressive, giving up their memories like that for us. It's quite kind.

[lecarre]

Ah... yes, me as well. I'd like to do what I can for them in return... they've already been so kind to us, even before they met us. And even now, they are still helping us.
