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!

Is it a problem that they know?

[retellers]

What's the point?

[reconnective]

[he immediately kind of sparkles at the mention of his friends.]

They're the best. [thank you, sora.] They're some of the bravest people I know...Riku's a Keyblade Master now, so he's one of the best fighters we have. Kairi was training right before we went to fight Xehanort, but she learns really fast. I've never doubted either of them. We've known each other since we were kids, so it's kind of hard to imagine being without them. Riku's kind of a jerk sometimes and Kairi teases me a lot, too, but it's always been that way. [this is all said very fondly. he's used to his friends bullying him.] They're both kinda stubborn, but they always look out for the best in people.

[...he smiles then, just to himself more than anything.] They're the reason I'm as strong as I am, you know? I know I can always count on them.

[siblingless]

[... Hm. She turns her head to take a proper look at the fort, frowning.]

Perhaps... you were in the military at some point?

[chanteuser]

Not really? But like I said. I did just borrow the book without asking.

[ for a woman at a "confessional" she seems entirely not fussed about borrowing without permission. ]

[reconnective]

That you must've cared about more than just the universe as a concept. Even if you live there, there's probably people you also cared about.

[reconnective]

I really hope not either. But maybe we shouldn't risk it? We don't know how serious their rules really are.

[lionson]

[Alex plz, you're supposed to repent here.]

It sounds like it was for a good purpose though, and you do intend on returning it. So I think you can just say 'sorry for borrowing it' when you return it, and that would be enough.

[siblingless]

[A nod.]

What do you think the next gateway will be, Rabbit-san?

[antaressnipe]

That's correct. And at such lengths, the weight of humans on a ship would be negligible.

But also why with very small boats, it can only hold so many people at a time.

[chanteuser]

[ haha! ]

That sounds simple enough. [ if she gets the chance to when she gets home ]

[antaressnipe]

Yes, I will refrain from touching anyone this week.

[A pause]

Though given how prone this group is to injuries, I am... concerned.

[antaressnipe]

[Staring you dead in the eye]

-- Perhaps you have sins of your own to confess to.

[antaressnipe]

That being?

[antaressnipe]

Most likely, but I admit my biases are based off my own experiences.

[With a small chuckle] If there were but another centaur among us who had grown up in a city.

[He... actually sounds a bit wistful]

[siblingless]

... I think it's something I oughtn't say too loudly. [She shuffles, as if to scoot a little closer to him. Perfect whispering distance.] May I?

[siblingless]

Um... I think I have to disagree.

[The cuddling didn't hurt her. :( What the fuck.]

Is this going to happen anytime we touch someone's hand? We can't offer our help in an emergency if it will be like this as week long.

[supremity]

[ Poor Usagi, having a rough day. It's fine! After that bump into the boat, there's a new splash, and then Hua Cheng finds an errant halyard probably used for a rope ladder or gangplank off the side of the boat.

Hup! He is wet, his clothes are sticking to him, but he swoops his hair out of his good eye and holds up the PHS. ]

[supremity]

[ Dianxia this is too good. Local ghost must be most impressive being possible vs. local anxiety-ridden teen left unfazed in the fact of ghosts. ]

Ah, and what is, in your opinion?

[supremity]

Some more investigation would have to be done to say for certain, but this place does resonate a certain way. Call it - a hunch, even though I can't sense anything as I could have before.

[ Stop bullying the twink, Hua Cheng. ]

[dianxias]

I don't think I've ever paid attention to how my butt would look in anything, your highness.

[ which is too bad because he got that cake

i mean. he smiles, a little sheepish, reaching up to scratch his cheek. ] ...Would you mind helping me with the laces one more time...?

[siblingless]

I don't remember.

[dianxias]

[ love whomst

anyway. that is a really good idea fiora has! in retrospect when he's trying to load the cannons with skeleton parts on wednesday icly, he will think this was actually a terrible idea. ]

--Oh, good thinking. We don't need another situation like last week... here, can I help you? Between the two of us, we shouldn't have any issues getting it overboard.

[dianxias]

Miss Yona... please do so quickly before you get an infection.

[ sighs. is this what it's like to be his friend? ]

[dianxias]

[ leaning in to look at its little pointy head. that's a poisonous snake. ]

...Well, perhaps if you can train it...


[ THAT IS A HORRIBLE IDEA. ] Please be careful, Zuko, alright? Why is it in your shirt - did it get attached to you...?
