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.

[ it.

it is, in fact, an explanation of something very literal. and, sure, they're in a tech lab but... well. ]

So? What's it like?

[I'M SORRY SHE'S SO UNHELPFUL]

Oh dear. . . I'm afraid that's a really complicated question.

[PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ME TALK ABOUT THE COMPLEX POLITICS OF WESTERN ZEMURIA]

[sacredchants]

Oh, one of those places.

[ WHAT IF I WANT TO?? no, it's fine. i'll spare you. she's just going to assume that it's some complicated situation anyway, so you're safe.

cue izumo going to explore the lab a bit herself by poking and tapping gently on some of the filled beakers. hopefully none of this stuff is super dangerous.... ]

You said that your chairman is familiar with this, but are you?

[maidforservice]

It is one of those places, yes.

[UNFORTUNATELY. Zemuria, and especially Erebonia, is a huge mess, yikes]

As her assistant and personal maid, yes, I am. Though she is far more educated on the details of this sort of technology than I am.

[sacredchants]

Assistant and personal maid, huh? [ she hum softly as she picks up a test tube filled with some ] I've only heard of people like that and never really met one.

[ it's like. a thing that's right out of her mangas or anime...kind of. then again, the entirety of their situation would make for a decent anime. probably. ]

[maidforservice]

Well, then I'm more than happy to be your first.

[a curtsy!]

My name is Sharon.
