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.

[oh my god. well! sora's going to reach into his pocket and pull out his rock! he has been taking care of his rock.]

I thought maybe it might've been something else, but even just for a rock it's nice to look at. [he grins.] So thanks.

[retellers]

[ yay ]

You're welcome... I wasn't sure what everyone would like or consider useful...

[reconnective]

I know a lot of us still have them. Did you guys pick everything out right before we got here?

[retellers]

A few days before, give or take. We discussed it... and Tiger explained to me what a "condom" was.

[reconnective]

Guess that explains why no two things are alike. [also tiger, why. but the way that's said...] Were you familiar with the other stuff you guys picked out?

[retellers]

[ a beat. ]

I knew what tea is?

[reconnective]

That's a start. [there's a grin.] I guess everything else is pretty different. But the town has some cool stuff...if you wanted to learn more?

[he's trying to get a read on goat, it's fine.]

[retellers]

[ they nod. ]

People have been teaching me many things I didn't know before. Someone explained to me what "knocking someone up" means, the other day.

[reconnective]

[he just. deflates.]

Maybe that's not really something you should be learning about. [who the fuck is teaching the npcs about sex.]

[retellers]

Why not? It's just procreation. The human species would've died out without it.

It's keeping up with language that's difficult...

[reconnective]

I mean...yeah, okay, that's true but I don't know if that's really what's so important here right now.

[...hopefully.] All of us must sound pretty different than what you're used to then. Does anything sound familiar at all?

[retellers]

Tiger said that you would be frequently having intercourse here?

[ was tiger wrong... ]

There are things that are familiar, of course. And there are things that are not.

[reconnective]

I think Tiger might have been overestimating.

Is the castle familiar? Or the inn?

[retellers]

I know what castles are. My knowledge of inns is lesser.

[reconnective]

You must be from an older world then. [or.] Do you remember if you're human?

[while i, ty, can read the other mod threads sora does not have that kind of power.]

[retellers]

I remember that I am not.

[reconnective]

Oh. [somehow he did not think they would admit it outright.] Do you remember what you might have been?

[retellers]

[ they shake their head. ]

[reconnective]

Hm...I guess that's no big deal right now. You'll remember eventually. [though he's figuring that's a big part of goat's identity based on what he's learning from other leaders.] Does it bother you not to know?

[retellers]

... I suppose. But it isn't as if being bothered by it will help me learn.

[reconnective]

You think? [he settles for glancing at the sky.] I dunno. I have a friend who only found out who he was because he got really mad he didn't know.

[...when you say it like that, that does not help.]
