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.

she has good reflexes, so she catches it - easier when she doesn't have to worry about grabbing the handle. No one's getting stabbed today! Yet. Once she has it, she hides it behind her back so he can't try and snatch it away; she doesn't trust him one bit. ]

Just what are you planning now?

[suddenlybees]

Construction project.

[ He sighs and shoves his hands in his pockets. Look, no secretly snatching the saw back, okay? ]

What're you so worked up about? I got no reason to saw anybody's head off, right? Necks are too bony, anyways!

[bisouled]

Oh? And what are you building?

[ she is obviously skeptical. ]

[suddenlybees]

Cat tower. Are you gonna supervise me the entire time I build it?

[bisouled]

[ a "hmph! ]

Give me one reason to believe you're actually building a cat tower and not lying to me again so you can go -- saw the knobs off doors or something.

[suddenlybees]

[ !! Kano mouths a little "Oh!" to himself and makes a mental note to see if the saw can saw off doorknobs. ]

Shigeo's got a cat? Have you seen it? Very cute. Li'l triangle tail and everything.

[bisouled]

[ NO!!!!!! ]

Don't you go do that! I saw that look in your eyes. [ she crosses her arms, saw and all. ] And don't bully Mob. He's a very sweet young man.

[suddenlybees]

[ He just laughs and makes no promise to leave those poor doorknobs alone. ]

He sure is! And much tougher than you give him credit for, you know? Very hard to bully.

[bisouled]

That means you've tried, doesn't it?

[ shame....... ]

[suddenlybees]

[ Yeah. ]

Sure did! The kid is very resilient, wow! I had no chance!

[bisouled]

[ Fiora sighs dramatically, shaking her head. ]

... I don't know what your situation was like back home, but you should try being a little kinder here. We're all under a lot of stress.

[suddenlybees]

Huh? What do you got to be stressed about?

[ For all it seems, all Kano's been doing is playing around for the past two weeks. Maybe some of you guys need better stress management. Fiora needs better stress management. She needs to stop interacting with Kano, maybe. ]

'sides, some people thrive under pressure, you know? There's no point in coddling Shigeo; he's fine.

[bisouled]

What are you saying? You know three of us just died, right?

[ kano are you okay. ]

[suddenlybees]

Well, yeah...

[ Virid's dead? No more killing, problem solved, nothing to be stressed about anymore. ]
