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!

[just the one prompt]

[off on the howling rose, soo-won is going to be on the deck!! HE'S RESTING with his hands on the railing on the deck, looking out in the ocean, starry-eyed. overhead, gulfan might be seen doing happy bird circles because there's more sky to adventure in here -

but when he sees you approach, soo-won just offers a bright smile and:]

If you could go anywhere in the world - or even perhaps the worlds...!

Where would you go?

[heartablaze]

[She can't see over the side of the deck without standing on top of something so the logical thing to do here is, of course, do a standing jump (???????) up to sit on the side of the deck with her legs hanging over the side.

She's hanging on to the rope ladder nearby so please don't have a heart attack about her falling overboard, she is monkey. At least she has energy this week?]

Mm... anywhere new would be fine, I think. New things are really important, you know? I guess I haven't really thought about specific stuff before, though.

Is Gulfan having fun out here, Haku-san?

[recrowns]

[hikaru..... well! he won't stop her! he was a pretty rambunctious kid himself after all]

Is there anything you'd like to do at the new place? See the sights? Meet the people? Eat the food?

And I think he is! He's happy that he has more room to fly.

[antaressnipe]

... An interesting question.

[And for once Chiron doesn't have an immediate answer ready to give out like a lecture. Wild]

I suppose I am not particular... if I could travel and not draw attention to myself, I would be more than happy to explore any area I've never seen.

[recrowns]

Oh.... Meeting other centaurs would certainly be interesting - what a place!

[soo-won offers up a smile at that]

I'm sure it must exist somewhere amidst all the worlds.

[antaressnipe]

Oh -- no. I cannot remember who I've warned, but most centaurs are very dangerous. I was considered unique in that regard.

[Huffing a laugh]

If I were to ever meet another centaur, especially in a city, I would be very concerned.

[Racist against horses. Chiron, for shame]

[recrowns]

[ah.]

You don't think there could be a single other peaceful centaur in the universe?

[antaressnipe]

I wouldn't mind if that were true... though humorously it would be just as strange to me to see such a sight.

[but now it's an interesting thought experiment]

We'd have completely different cultures and customs, assuming they lived amongst each other in groups.

[recrowns]

[there's just a bit of a laugh at that]

Oh, so you might be a bit of an outsider to your own kind?

But wouldn't that be interesting? Maybe they all have appropriately sized doors and elevators.

[antaressnipe]

Well, that assumes they would be living in areas that would require doors. Perhaps they would be adapted to living in the forests with little need for shelter.

[recrowns]

Oh, that's true.

Is that the type of architecture that you would create if you could design a society for centaurs, Archer?

[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, for now, I would just like to go home.

[Cheerily enough. She's just had enough #adventure for a while.]

[recrowns]

[someone help this sweet girl

and at that his expression turns fond - ]

You must miss it. Where are your favorite places to go when you're home?

[siblingless]

Hm... Well, I've always enjoyed Kichijoji. [And, for his benefit:] It's a neighborhood with tons of great shops.

[recrowns]

Oh, like a market?

[he smiles at that]

Do you like shopping? Are there tokens that you prefer more than others?

[siblingless]

Yes, exactly like a market! I ought to be cautious with my money, but sometimes, I can't help but to buy food from the vendors even though I have plenty of ingredients at home.

[Who needs tokens when you're a walking food void?]

[recrowns]

Oh do you like street food too? I was taught how to make dumplings here - I think they're delicious!!

[WHY IS HE SO EXCITED ABOUT STREET FOOD]

[siblingless]

Yes! [BECAUSE STREET FOOD IS DELICIOUS.] Would you like to make dumplings together sometime? It's been a while since I had one.

[It's. Been like two or three weeks. Yoshizawa, please.]

[recrowns]

Oh, let's!

[HE LOOKS SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS]

I wanted to try to modify the recipe so that it can include sweet plum paste on the inside....
