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.

[reconnective]

Well no, but that seems like the thing that makes the most sense?

[suddenlybees]

Hm... That'll be the backup plan.

[ He'll take that idea and stow it away into his back pocket, thank you. ]

Anyways, I'm looking for this very specific cactus, but I dunno anything about plants. Do you know anybody who might know?

[reconnective]

[great. happy to help.]

Maybe Chiron? Or I guess you could ask the leaders. I don't really know much about them myself other than some of them are really annoying.

[suddenlybees]

You can say Tiger.

[reconnective]

[he rolls his eyes.]

I meant plants, Kano. The leaders themselves aren't so bad.

[suddenlybees]

[ Oh. Kano doesn't know plants but he knows some reaaaaally annoying leaders. ]

Are you the one feeding them all?

[reconnective]

[juuuust a shrug.]

The leaders, or the plants? [no confirmation and no denial.]

[suddenlybees]

Which plants did you pee on?

[reconnective]

Ew, none of them. Don't tell me that's what you've been doing while looking for your cactus.

[suddenlybees]

Gotta make sure they're all nice and watered in case one of them's it, right?

[reconnective]

There has to be a better way to do it than that, Kano. Come on.

[suddenlybees]

Like how? Spit? Peeing is more efficient.

[reconnective]

Or you could bring water from the town across the bridge. It's not gonna evaporate right away. [...probably.]

[suddenlybees]

No, but that's water from town across the bridge... Unless you got a reeeeeeeeeeaal long tube, that's just gonna be too heavy to deal with.

[ There is maybe water in the space station, guys. ]

[reconnective]

[that's too logical.]

A bucket of water is not that heavy to carry.

[suddenlybees]

Yeah? Why don't you carry a bucket of water back and forth a dozen times and say that to my face after?

[ All the way across the bridge! Without sloshing half the water out by the time you get to the garden! ]

[reconnective]

Oh no. You're coming with me if I do that. How do I know you'd even be here still if I did? [none trust with this!!]

[suddenlybees]

Haha~ Blind faith and optimism?

[ Hikaru would have gone to find a bucket and returned to find Kano gone. Sora at least has a healthier amount of distrust. ]

[reconnective]

[he just leans in a little closer so he's more in kano's face.]

Not a chance. [he has a lot of blind faith and optimism but he's not totally stupid.]

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano laughs and doesn't pull back. He's played chicken before! He knows better than to move, it's best if he just stands his ground. ]

The plants will get watered either way, so it, like, doesn't matter? But okay, okay, let's go find a bucket~ You can show off your macho arms or whatever you want to prove so bad~

[reconnective]

[can't believe they're both just going to stand like this now.]

It is not about showing off my arms. [he makes a face.] But yeah, okay. We'll go...after you explain the cactus.

[back to this again. why that particular cactus, kano!! explain what you're doing if not stabbing someone with it!]

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano rolls his eyes. ]

I'm gonna use it as an ingredient to poison someone. Now can we go?

[reconnective]

...yeah, sure. [he'll start to turn to walk, but he glances over his shoulder to make sure kano's following.] I didn't know you knew how to make poisons.

[suddenlybees]

[ He's following, just several paces behind Sora and deliberately so that it's just a bit uncomfortable to keep turned like that. ]

How much do you know about me at all, huh? Is there anything?

[reconnective]

[god. fine.]

I know that you're probably not the kind of person who gives out information about himself that easily. Right?
