WEEK TWO: MINGLE

[retellers]

WEEK TWO: MINGLE (37 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, and new buildings within the town have been unlocked. Finally, should anyone check their PHS, Cater, Sharon, and Kano'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. If you break the current ninth rule, participants will get shocked. It will be a mild shock at first, but the longer they touch each other, the stronger it will get. On that note, if your character did not share a memory last week, please make sure to check your notifs! Participants may also find that their memories of the past few weeks are getting fuzzier... as though they can't recall some of the details without focusing. Finally, this week, every time a participant gets within one foot of someone, they will experience the emotions the other person is currently feeling and vice-versa. This will last for ten seconds even after they've stepped out of their personal bubble, after which the sharing itself might share, but the knowledge will not. Have fun!

We should've been doing that from the start. It was a failing on our part.

[ He's annoyed, but not at Yona, and some of the agitation is tempered by something softer. Whomp, fafa. ]

Throwing around accusations will just get us in the same situation as what happened with Kano, or worse, considering. But suggesting things, or offering a theory, isn't an awful suggestion at all. We need to be able to discern when it's a wild goose chase and when it's something valuable, but if we don't hear it -

Well, we're not going to know.

[lecarre]

[She perks up immediately--though her emotions are just as softly muted as ever.]

Oh, truly? I would love to go out on the water, but I certainly could not be trusted with a boat myself.

Of course you are able to handle one, though. I am starting to think there is nothing you cannot do!

[retellers]

... you're dressed like one.

[cuedoves]

.... Yeah. Yesterday was pretty bad.

[ anyway ]

You wanna get something to eat while we're here?

[ honestly, her only impression of him is that he's a sleazy teenage boy, so she assumes he's up to no good when she sees him slinking around - especially near the tailor shop. Is he trying to peep on girls changing or something? Good thing Fiora's here to put a stop to it! She's approaching him with a reproachful look on her face...

Or she would be, except it's hard not to notice the words on his face?? Now she just looks confused ]

... An illuminati spy? [ what. ]

[horologia]

Yes, but... Um, well...

[ gestures at what xie lian covered downthread while I was at work

I can get away with this by pretending she just is too shy to say anything after someone else spoke up. haha! why didn't I play her sooner. ]

[dawnblushed]

[yona thinks about the last trial and decides she doesn't really want to answer that question honestly.]

...well, I'm doing a lot better now that I've got some tea and some good company!

[evocationary]

[ she reaches out like she's going to like, tuck ange's hair behind her ear or something, and then stops before she touches! oops. instead, she brings her hand back to her chest and grins. ]

I have an approximate knowledge of many things. [ she says, like a nerd. ] Truly, though. You wanna go right now? Let's do this thing.

[supremity]

[ Watching him and Yona speak, before he responds. ]

There's no telling whether someone will report their items. But we need to be more diligent in checking them, nevermind recording them, so a tally is a good idea.

[heartablaze]

[That is a lot of syllables. But she'll still nod, pulling out an extra pen from her Magical Girl Getup. There's a visible hesitation at Homura's question, though.]

Sort of. I think we figured out that we're all from really different places? I mean, Rufus-san is a demon, and Sensei is a faun-- no, wait, um... a centaur! Anyway, not everybody is used to those, right? I don't think they are, anyway.

But, um... this is for something different. Like... remembering stuff, different.

[dawnblushed]

...hey, you didn't get sick, did you?!

[horologia]

Perhaps we... Shouldn't assume that we covered everywhere we needed to, the night before?

Like... How do we know, that we went to everywhere we needed to and found everything? So I think I agree that we should be more thorough with checking the places that people went to before, and not just assume that since we have evidence, we have everything important already.

[reconnective]

[the grin in response says he at least knows it's a joke. except it immediately shutters away because uh, ow? he almost immediately releases her hand even if he's making sure she's not about to fall into the water, but then he...well. he has enough experience to recognize what feels are and aren't his. but clementine's getting a blast of alarm with underlying worry and still, even so, a blip of happiness and calm that doesn't seem to go away.]

What was that?

[evocationary]

[ :unamused: ]

[retellers]

Don't worry, I probably have a good immune system.

[antaressnipe]

[In his defense he didn't do [redacted] so clearly this is Fine]

[antaressnipe]

I think that is fair. Everyone is allowed to change their minds to fit their own circumstances.

[Thooough if everyone backs out... hm]

[lecarre]

[Probably wise, the zap might send her right over the edge.

But Ange just giggles a bit at that, covering her mouth.]

To me, that sounds like you do in fact know everything.

But if that is all right with you, I would love to! Shall we find a boat to--um, borrow?

[dawnblushed]

[Yona's, meanwhile, is mostly confusion tinged with annoyance... is this going to happen every time she touches someone?

She's such a touchy-feely person in canon if she can't hold hands she will literally die.]

I'm fine. Just surprised.

[supremity]

[ And, gestures. Tada. ]

If you have a complaint, say it now. We don't have time to hold everyone's hands through their personal secrets that came from home - no one cares, and trust me, I'm usually in the business of knowing personal secrets.

[chanteuser]

[ the confusion is still going. along with a little bit of... well, it's a bit lost. ]

Sure, I can write it down. [ she'll tug some paper over and start that. ]

I'm not sure I really have a favourite food. Nothing springs to mind.

[dawnblushed]

["you all die if the killer gets away with it" would probably be good motivation too, but this isn't dangan ronpa.]

We can do it. We have to.

[dawnblushed]

[Honestly, she's annoyed too, but not at Hua Cheng. It's fine, probably.]

We need to be open to whatever possibilities will lead to the truth, but not get so stuck on the first possibility that fits that we can't see anything else. I think... that's part of where we went wrong, last time.

[dawnblushed]

Right. It's definitely possible to miss things - there's no way we didn't miss something last time.

[heartablaze]

Not even stuff you've had here?

[that's sad ):]

Do you have anything you don't like? Like, if somebody gave it to you, you'd spit it our right away?
