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!

[A certain priest is standing on the deck, looking well dressed for the part - the eyepatch just makes it all the more authentic. He's frowning a bit, though, as he looks around. It's nice, but...]

Aren't these locations getting too fanciful? What's next, a park full of dinosaurs?

B: THE NEW RULE

[Later, one can find him in town scowling slightly as he's looking at his device.]

Guess that cancels most of our self defense classes...tch.

C: WILDCARD

[throw some prompts at this spanish priest pirate or hit me up for pcs!! the sky's the limit!!!]

[lionson]

It's alright, I can teach them the fine art of diplomacy next.

[robopriest]

Can that really do much, though...

[can't you just make fun of your enemy and destroy them that way,]

[lionson]

I can certainly try. conflict resolution without violence is a valuable skill, you know.

[robopriest]

[CASUALLY GLANCES TO SOLVING EVERYTHING WITH SARCASM AND VIOLENCE]

I guess it is...it takes a lot of time, though.

[lionson]

Time spent not fighting is time well spent.

[robopriest]

[If Shiro is standing close, he might feel Hansa being just a little dissatisfied by that answer.]

Well, I don't know...

[lionson]

[Hansa gets a wave of amusement in return.]

What's not to know? Fighting takes effort, and you can get hurt. It's better to avoid it.

[unfortunately for hansa, he's going to find that a young pirate is busy climbing down from...somewhere. it's hard to say, probably the crow's nest, and as he gets closer he decides to answer.]

Dinosaurs could be kinda cool, actually. But this is still nice isn't it?

[robopriest]

It would be nice if they could guarantee they wouldn't eat us.

[He glances up at Sora.]

I guess? I mean, its fun pretending you're a big bad pirate. Looks like that's your agenda for the week.

[reconnective]

You might wanna avoid the swamp then. [wild critters...] I've sailed with a couple of crews before, so it is pretty fun to get to do it again.

[if hansa thought that might deter him, he will find that is not the case. sora is absolutely having a good time right now.]

[robopriest]

...There are dinosaurs in the swamp?

[HANSA, NO]

You've been on a pirate crew? Wow. Wouldn't take you for one. I could see you sing a good sea shanty, though.

[reconnective]

I haven't really gone looking. [he does nothing to correct him. but instead he grins in response.]

Hey, I even have my own ship! But I think I only know one shanty.

[robopriest]

I might go looking...

[To what, suplex a crocodile?]

Your own ship? How old are you, again? [He shrugs.] Well, lets hear it. Give it a go. The shanty, I mean.

[DINOSAURS, HE SAYS.

Meanwhile Chiron pauses, squints, and then glances down at his hand]

I suspect even I would have trouble with a dinosaur, depending on its size.

[robopriest]

Maybe you could take on the smaller ones? But those are pretty smart, if what the movies say is correct. Maybe they'd be a good challenge?

[Chiron hunting down dinosaurs? It makes him chuckle to think of it.]

[antaressnipe]

There are... dinosaurs in movies.

[The Grail gave him knowledge on what a movie is but it didn't think the ye olde nerd needed to understand Jurassic Park.]

[robopriest]

There sure are dinosaurs in movies! But they're man-made. They're not real.

[antaressnipe]

So humans just imagined an entire species for their entertainment that is probably inaccurate to the real creatures.

a!

[siblingless]

Isn't that the plot of a movie?

[Please do not give them killer dinosaurs next.]

[robopriest]

It sure is.

[Just, unabashedly.]

I guess we'll see if fact really is fiction if that happens.

[siblingless]

I hope not. We already have enough troubles without needing to find the time to wrangle raptors.

[robopriest]

That's true. Well, we have to be prepared.

How are you holding up, Sumi? Enjoying the pirate life?

[siblingless]

I'm alright. [If she minds the sudden nickname, she doesn't seem to show any signs of it.] I admit, it's hard not to feel a little excited about this. It's like we stepped into a fantasy novel, or a period drama.

b!

[sacredchants]

[ don't ask her how. she doesn't know how to fight properly.... ]

Or you could get creative with them.
