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.

[ Please try to walk away again, Soo-won. ]

You would not be acting like that, if it were nothing.

[ Can't believe she's agreeing with Rufus. She's still a little mortified. ]

[recrowns]

E-Even if it's something, that's fine - people are free to do what they'd like in their time...

[go ahead and do your lewds it's none of his business]

[soulus]

It's not my hand she's holding.

[discernments]

[ At that comment, Jeanne drops Soo-won's hand like it's hot. She doesn't usually think much of holding hands, but the context is bad. ]

Both of you are making this worse. Please consider my decency!

[recrowns]

[guess he has his hand back but - ]

I am trying to consider your decency!

[unfortunately this is true]

[soulus]

It's just an urge instilled by the Realm.

[discernments]

It better be the Realm's doing! And I wouldn't d-do anything like that in public!

[ A beat. ]

Or at all!

[ Never mind that neither of them know Catholicism from romance. ]

[recrowns]

Ah, she hesitated.

[DON'T POINT IT OUT]

[soulus]

Does that matter right now?

We've already wasted this much time.

[discernments]

Won! Rufus! Please!

[ She covers her face with her hands. ]

.... You can both leave.
