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.

I think I might need to for the sake of the kitchen, Sharon.

[ haha. knife emojis at al ]

Alright then. I'll grab some more bacon, and we'll give it a try.

[maidforservice]

[WHY ARE YOU KNIFING ME]

All right. Let me clean up this mess, first. I may have forgotten how to cook, but even I know that lighting a fire amidst the charred remains of a fire is a bad idea.

[chanteuser]

[ ALL YOU GET NOW ARE KNIVES ]

I'm glad they don't take all survival knowledge away from us. Here, I'll get this pan washed and put away?

[maidforservice]

[I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG EVER IN MY LIFE??]

I suppose we'd all have a problem if they did, yes? And thank you; I'll clean the stove.

[chanteuser]

[ THESE LIES YOU SPEAK WITH YOUR MOUTH ]

They'd have to provide a catering service, at the very least.

[maidforservice]

[WHAT LIES I AM A GOOD AND HONEST PERSON!!!]

I wonder if the Leaders could produce food for us, if we asked them politely?

[chanteuser]

[ :KNIFE: ]

...

They might be able to. But I'm not sure they could do it magically, or anything. Like-- [ she makes a little popping motion with her hands complete with a "pa!" sound ]-- and then lunch is ready.

[maidforservice]

[heehee. a tiny giggle]

Which of the Leaders do you believe is the most accomplished cook?

[chanteuser]

[ ............. ]

You know, I’m really not sure. Maybe ... um. Fox?

[maidforservice]

Oh! I could see that.

[nts ask fox to cook food??]

[chanteuser]

[ makes a note as well ]

I think Rabbit would be the type to know how to make sweets? But I’m not sure about other dishes. [ wolf can’t cook, calling it now. but watch them turn out to be someone who’s a chef ]

Maybe ... I get the impression Tiger might know. But Swan and Goat seem a little... [ ditzy god bless them ]

[maidforservice]

[GOAT AND SWAN ABSOLUTELY SHOULDN'T BE TRUSTED IN THE KITCHEN AT ALL]

Oh? What gives you the impression that Master Tiger would know how?

[chanteuser]

[ completely seriously: ]

Someone probably told them they couldn’t, so they learned to spite them.
