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.

You didn't.

[Goodbye.]

[discernments]

There is nothing to interrupt?

[ WHY ARE YOU SHIELDING YOUR EYES ]

Alex?

[chanteuser]

[ BECAUSE SHE'S WALKING IN ON A PRIVATE MOMENT that's just happening right here in front of god and everyone ]

It looks pretty much like the opposite.

[soulus]

Your eyes must not be very good.

[discernments]

[ God probably isn't judging. ]

It's not what you think!

[ Jeanne is pretty sure it's not whatever Alex must be thinking.

But Jeanne still hasn't released Rufus. ]

[chanteuser]

[ @ rufus: ]

My eyes are fine, thank you.

[ ... but she stops and looks at the two of them. ]

It's either that or you're arguing, in which case... uh... don't argue?

[soulus]

We aren't.

[He says that like it explains everything.]

[discernments]

[ yeah, sorry, but Jeanne is only helpful enough to echo: ]

We aren't arguing.

[chanteuser]

[ she just looks between them again.

explain the kabedon, jeanne. ]

[soulus]

It's just an urge.

[discernments]

I just felt like he shouldn't get away?

[ That's a bad explanation. ]

Like I needed to be near? But it's nothing indecent! I swear.

[chanteuser]

[ ... ]

Like last week?

[ hmm. ] You could try holding hands instead, maybe. It might... draw less attention?

[soulus]

If the desire is to be near, holding hands shouldn't be necessary.
