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!

TALK TO FOX

[retellers]

[ fox is mainly around the town, making tea for public consumption in the inn once in a while, or hanging out on the bridge. go away, wolf, their spot now. ]

[dawnblushed]

[oh, teatime! yona will just take a cup.]

Thank you. Do you have a few moments, Fox?

[retellers]

Of course. What do you need?

[dawnblushed]

I wanted to ask how you're holding up. We didn't see you here in town last week, after all.

[infreefall]

Oh, thank you!

[ she will take some tea! ]

Have you been to a place like this before, Fox-san?

[retellers]

[ they give a light bow of their head in acknowledgment of her thanks. ]

Up north, you mean?

[infreefall]

Yeah! Seems funny, huh? First space, and now we get to be pirates!

[ ...pretend to be pirates, whatever, same difference ]

[cuedoves]

... You like tea?

[ zuko wouldn't have suspected that ]

[retellers]

Oh? Is that so surprising?

[cuedoves]

Yeah, kinda. I didn't expect tea to be so popular around here.

[ if only zuko hadn't had character development and still called it hot leaf juice. but also. ]

Would you like to hear uncle's favorite tea joke?

[reconnective]

[to the bridge he goes! by which i mean sora was wandering around and spots fox rather easily.]

Welcome back. How's it going?

[retellers]

As well as one can hope.

[reconnective]

Better than nothing, right? [there's a light smile.] Surprised you're not hanging out in the new area with some of the others.

[heartablaze]

[now that I'm not here to basically ask for the inn shrine, wheezes

zoom, here she comes to the bridge with her trademark, one cup of chocolate ice cream and one vanilla]

Pick one, Fox-san. I'll take whatever you don't eat.

[retellers]

[ they give her a polite bow of their head. ]

Thank you... though I certainly hope you're not living off of just ice cream!

[ but they take the vanilla. ]

[heartablaze]

Mmn, not always. Is it all that bad if it's something that makes me happy, though?

[she is going to leave this game with diabetes]

You'd do something a lot more than usual if it made you happy, too, right?

[exercisms]

[Tea! Giving Fox a small smile and taking a cup.]

Thank you!

[retellers]

[ with a dip of their head, ]

Not at all. Please enjoy.

[exercisms]

[Taking a sip.]

. . . It's good.

[antaressnipe]

Ah, it seems we have many lovers of tea here.

[retellers]

Haha, it seems that way, doesn't it?

[arcsplainist]

[ Well, far be it from another one of the Realm's avid tea drinkers to turn down a cup. ]

—Oh. That is rather kind of you to offer.

[ So, Alphinaud will take a cup, yet he pauses briefly, then: ]

This is especially belated, I realize, but I do believe I owe you an apology.

[retellers]

[ a beat. ]

Hm? What for?

[siblingless]

Hello, Fox-san. [Joining them at the bridge, and peering at them curiously.] You're not crossing over?

[retellers]

I like the river. Well, vicious mermaids aside.
