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.

That's kind of messed up, isn't it? You'd think after dying, you'd finally be free from material things like money.

... If you believe in that sort of thing; there being something beyond death.

There is an afterlife where I am from, so the toll is a very real burden, unfortunately.

If you do not pay your way, you could wander the lands as a malicious spirit.

No offense but if I died and you wouldn't let me rest because I couldn't spit out a coin, I'd be pretty upset, too.

(He says, joking! But also serious. If he doesn't play it off, he'll just end up thinking about how unfair that whole system is and want to fight it. ... One fight at a time, Claude.)

And let me guess... the spirit causes a whole lot of trouble until some great hero takes care of it once and for all.

Yes, on occasion. The cruelest spirits could decimate entire towns, after all.

[He's not gonna deny the system is pretty messed up.]

Though you need not worry; that archaic way of doing things has for the most part died out.
