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.

Oh, that is...

[She flushes a little, dipping her head.]

In truth, there is someone I was hoping would come with me... but I have not told her yet.

[reconnective]

[...oh cute...]

Why not?

[lecarre]

Ah, well... she is so amazing, and I... am a rather dull person. So I do not know if she will want to even be friends.

[reconnective]

I don't think you're dull. [he barely knows her, but he likes what he's gotten to know so far.] And anyway...the only way to know is to ask.

[lecarre]

... That is true. I suppose... that would be the first step towards being a braver person too.

Just...asking.

[reconnective]

Asking is definitely the scariest part, but it's always easy after that. Even if she said no...you'll be stronger and braver than you were before. But I can't think of anybody who would say no to you.

[lecarre]

Now you are just being far too nice to me, Sora!

[But she's clearly pleased.]

Thank you. When I go home... it is the first thing I will do.

Would you like to explore more of the plants here together?

[reconnective]

[he only responds with a bright smile.]

Good. I hope it works out. [with that said though, he nods and turns to look at the array of plants around them.] Let's see what else we can find here. I bet some of them are even weirder.

[and to wrap up before the new week, they went to explore more alient plants.]
