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.

[ their shoulders droop. ]

But if I'm failing as their Leader...

[ kano insinuated they were a bad leader. ): now they feel bad. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ stop!!!!! ]

You're not, you're not! Some people like taking care of others! So you're, like, making them happy and stuff! And, like, aren't you doing your best for them in return?!

[retellers]

Y-Yes...?

[suddenlybees]

So, there you go! You're trying your best, so don't ever doubt you're being a good leader!

[ why is Goat so exhausting when they're the quietest, what happened ]

[retellers]

Oh... thank you. I'll keep trying, then—for their sake and yours as well, and that of everyone here.

[suddenlybees]

[ Good, good, it doesn't even matter that there isn't much substance behind just "trying." That doesn't matter. ]

There's that, then. What'd you eat last week? Anything funky?

[retellers]

[ they think. ]

A tomato... Ice cream and Oreo O's... crackers...

[suddenlybees]

[ A singular tomato... he's glad. ]

You sure got a good team. They know all the good stuff.

[retellers]

[ goat nods. ]

I am deeply appreciative for their kindness.

[suddenlybees]

Well, hopefully you'll see a lot more of that this week~ People here like feeding each other? It's very weird.

[ Very nice, though, not having to cook for himself. Even if half his diet is stolen off other people's plates. ]

[retellers]

Food is important for humans.

[suddenlybees]

People can survive, like, a month without food. They're surprisingly tenacious.

[ Still important! But not direly so, even if skipping a day or two borderlines delirium sometimes. ]

[retellers]

Going hungry is still an unpleasant experience, is it not?

[suddenlybees]

Yeah, sure sucks real bad. Hope it doesn't happen here, you know? With so many mouths to feed!
