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.

kitchen!

[dianxias]

[ ah.

well! also appearing calm is one xie lian, who spots the smoke and pokes his head in, because he's dealt with such a situation, before! ]

Oh - I know how to solve this, just a moment!! [ and scurrying over to the pantry, he grabs one of those big cans of m*rtons salt, checks the label to make sure it's not flour (a mistake he's made before)

and proceeds to go dump it on the fire! i googled it apparently this works ]

[maidforservice]

[this tag reminds Al of a worse time in life where she thought flour could be used to put out kitchen fires. SHE WAS SO YOUNG AND NAIVE THEN. . .]

Oh. . .!

[she jerks back at XL dumps salt on the flour, which quickly smothers it. SHE IS SAFE]

Thank you for your assistance, sir. That could have been quite dangerous.

[YOU THINK???]

[dianxias]

[ what like two days ago ]

Of course! [ sparkles!! ] I've set many accidental kitchen fires in my life, so I've certainly learned from experience...!

[ don't sound so happy about that???? ]

[maidforservice]

[CRIES GENTLY]

Oh dear.

[don't sound so happy about that???]

Perhaps we had both best move away from the stove, less we set it on fire again.

[through their combined efforts of being. . . bad at cooking now!!]

[dianxias]

I think that would be best.

[ ha ha... ha.

well! there's salt everywhere, so, xie lian will at least go get a broom. ] Do you do much cooking, Miss - Sharon, right?

[maidforservice]

Yes, that's correct. My name is Sharon.

[a polite bow of her head as she fetches a dustpan]

And I do, which is why this is rather embarrassing. Cooking is a large part of my job.
