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.

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?

[suddenlybees]

To breathe...? I guess, though, huh. If all of this is fake we can just go without.

[ He stares at Cater. Is she willing to try? ]

[pulsecannon]

[ DO NOT TEMPT HER SHE IS THINKING ABOUT IT ]

What happens if you go without and it's actually real?

[suddenlybees]

Then I die?

[ Like... what else could happen... ]

I guess we can start with, like, a hand or something... Just a little puncture in the suit to see if it freezes.

[pulsecannon]

Not hands. How else can I shoot anything if I don't have any hands.

[ Thinking... ]

Is there a way to just expose a toe?

[suddenlybees]

Hm... I got a pen, but that's inside.

[ He has a saw too, maybe, depending on whether people let him keep it. ]

There's plenty of rocks out here, though! Bet we can find a nice sharp one~

[pulsecannon]

Wait! Maybe we could just see what it does to rock or like food or something first.

[ Thanks for the idea. ]

Cutting off toes sounds like a stupid idea. Who knows how clean any of the rocks are anyways.

[suddenlybees]

[ Oh. That is a much smarter and more practical idea. Normal and boring and not deadly. ]

Ooh, like when you throw a cup of water into the air when it's really cold out and it turns to hail! Yeah, let's do that!
