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.

Yeah, okay! Why not!

[ swan, no. why are you being this way. they get up and grab onto kano-- their grip is surprisingly firm. ]

Okay, stick a hand out, and I'll aim up there.

[suddenlybees]

[ Ugh. Okay. Kano will be very tense in Swan's grip, but that is okay, he'll just reach his left hand out above his head and stick his ring finger slightly out in case only a bit of him gets instantly vaporized first, that is the least important finger on any hand. ]

Ready when you are~!

[retellers]

Okay! Hang on.

[ to what, they're the one holding him. but there's light and suddenly they are WAY high up in the air, above all possible buildings, suspended for about a second before gravity catches up to them ]

Okay, further up, my bad!

[ their next jump is smaller, and the next after that. it might start to get dizzying. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ The first jump already makes him want to hurl, and the subsequent ones has him squeezing his eyes shut tight and clinging to Swan each time they fall that split second before the next leap.

His hand remains outstretched, stubborn.

How high are they already... He sneaks a peek down to the ground with absolutely no gauge for distances. ]

[retellers]

[ They aren't quite yet higher than the castle in the distance! But also like. The castle is very tall for no reason, so. There's a bird nearby going on its way.

The last blink gets them to that high, though, and Kano's hand bumps against the tippy top of the barrier ]

I think we've done it! Without any injuries, ha! [ celebrate on the ground, swan. the both of them fall down a good few feet before they teleport once again back to the top of the inn. solid... roof. ] How was that? Fun, right?

[ they do not seem aware that kano wanted to die about halfway through that. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ Without any injuries, but his poor heart... Solid roof, but he can't hide being pale and shaky any more than what a hood flipped over his head provides ]

Whew! Sure was fun! Yeah. That's the extent of it, then? Can't get any higher than that?

[retellers]

Can't go past the barrier. [ they look up ] It's fine. It's not like I can fly, I just teleport.

[suddenlybees]

You say that, but isn't teleporting even better than flying?

[retellers]

Obviously. [ with no hesitation ] And it's quicker, but it's less about heights and more about distance!

[suddenlybees]

Like, at one time? How far was each jump?

[retellers]

I was doing smaller ones once we were high up to make sure we didn't crash.

[suddenlybees]

So... if you'd overshot it, we'd just go splat?
