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.

Cheerleaders, huh...?

[ they place their hands on their hips. ]

You're gonna cheerlead then?

[heartablaze]

Yeah!

I've never done it before, but I'll definitely cheer for you! I'll cheer for all of you!

[retellers]

[ tiger needs to take a moment to wonder how exactly they ended up in this situation. ]

Oh my god.

[heartablaze]

[this is going on the list of hikaru making all the npcs uncomfortable with her sheer oblivious existence]

I don't mean like an actual cheerleader or anything. Those are the girls with the pom-poms, right?

I don't think I could do that, but it's the same idea!

[retellers]

Can someone direct me to the nearest lost and found so I can drop you off there?

[heartablaze]

Hm?

Oh, I'm not lost, Tiger-san! It's okay!

[they are in the train station tiger there is a lost and found right there probably]

[retellers]

[ they are going to stand, brush off their cloak, and attempt to just casually walk away. ]

[heartablaze]

...Eh?

[wait what just happened]

Ah, Tiger-san, wait a minute--!

[TIME TO PURSUE]

[retellers]

[ oh my god they're being followed. ]

Yes?

[heartablaze]

[all she did was offer candy and be aggressively shojo and this is the thanks she gets]

Did I say something wrong?

If I went overboard, you can tell me!

[retellers]

[ they're still walking. ]

You know, every time you open your mouth I expect a flock of doves to go flying by while singing.

[heartablaze]

Ah -- what???

I don't know what that means????

[still following, rip tiger]

[retellers]

I think the meaning is very clear!

[ why is hikaru a duckling now ]

[heartablaze]

I can't even sing, Tiger-san!!

[Since they are powerwalking and she is getting the increasingly obvious clue that Tiger does not wish to be around her at this second, she'll at least stop her pursuit with a huff, calling out after them.]

Hey, at least tell me what ice cream you like??? I'll bring you some!!!!!

[retellers]

[ they glance over their shoulder. ]

Surprise me.

[heartablaze]

Okay!!! I'll come find you some other time, then, Tiger-san! I promise!!!!

[this is probably the opposite of encouraging for Tiger]

[retellers]

[ tiger just looks into the camera like they're in the office.

this is fine. ]
