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.

Not a terrible plan. Think anyone would actually listen, though?

[reconnective]

Maybe a few. But if we can help even a couple of people stay safer that's a start. [but he knows they can't control people regardless of how much he'd like to know what's going on.]

[stillnot]

Some is better than none.

Feel like making posters?

[reconnective]

Sounds like a plan to me. I'm not the best artist, but I'll do my best.

[stillnot]

Me either.

But they just have to be legible, that's all.

[reconnective]

That I can do. Think the emporium has markers? There should be some paper in the front desk still and if not we can grab a notebook or something.

[stillnot]

[ she shrugs ]

Haven't checked out what they have in a while. But we can add it to the shopping list.

[reconnective]

[he nods.]

Okay. Up for a quick trip? We can take a look and if we find anything else interesting we'll grab it on the way.

[stillnot]

Sure. I've got nothing better to do.

[reconnective]

Cool. Come on. [up he goes and he turns to gesture for her to follow. onward? onward.] We should probably find some tape or something, too. I don't know how else to stick them to the doors.

[stillnot]

[ onward! ]

Probably more likely to find tape than tacks or a hammer and nailed. They're pretty intent on... Child-proofing this place.

[reconnective]

Considering we weren't even here a week before Hajime was killed? Maybe child-proofing everything isn't a bad idea.

[stillnot]

Weird to say they weren't committed enough. [ but virid had a sword so what the hell ]

[reconnective]

Probably thought they wouldn't have to be so extreme. I don't think I would've thought of it myself either to be honest.

[that's because sora trusts almost everyone so that's very unhelpful.]

[stillnot]

Well... Now we know better than to trust anyone with any weapon.

[ says clem, who was open about having a kitchen knife, ]

[reconnective]

[yeah about that? he knows? so he just gives her a Look.]

[stillnot]

[ she knows!! it's fine!!! ]

[reconnective]

Are you keeping that on you all the time?

[stillnot]

Yeah. What's the point, otherwise?

[reconnective]

True. [onward to the emporium...] You're not worried somebody'll come after you knowing that?

[stillnot]

No, I am.

[ she's worried about Everything, including that. but still feels better with a knife on her, regardless. ]

[reconnective]

[understandable.]

...do me a favor and be careful, alright? [he can't tell her what to do by any means, but he can express that sentiment.]

[stillnot]

I'm always careful.

[reconnective]

Okay, then more careful than usual.
