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!

SPOILERS

[lionson]

[Hol' up]

Shima.

[This is said with all the sternness of a parent who just caught their kid sneaking out at night.]

YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER

[yamantaka]

--Quite a location we found ourselves in this week, huh?

YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLE MISTER

[lionson]

Renzo Shima.

[NOT. FALLING. FOR IT.]

[yamantaka]

[ UGH ]

It's not even completely accurate. I'm more of a double-agent.

[lionson]

Let me guess: the trash clown authorized it, didn't he?

[yamantaka]

Personally recruited me!

[lionson]

Of course he did.

[HE IS. SO IRRITATED.]

I'm gonna kill him when I get back.

[yamantaka]

[ with what life? ]

And why's that?

[lionson]

Because he keeps deciding to do stupid shit without consulting others. Did the Paladin even sign off on this? I can't picture Abel giving the ok.

[yamantaka]

No clue~ But even if he didn't, I would've still accepted it.

[lionson]

Then you're more of an idiot than I thought.

[There's a sudden flash of anger there.]

You don't mess with the Illuminati. I don't care how good of a spy you think you are, those people are dangerous. Everyone who even tries either ends up dead or gets converted to their way of thinking. And regardless of which it is, you're gonna end up dead before 20 if you keep that nonsense up.

So do yourself a favor and don't get involved with it.

[yamantaka]

I'm well aware of that. I've seen what they can do, seen how quickly Lucifer will turn on and kill someone loyal to him. I knew what I was getting into when Mephisto asked me to be his spy. The Illuminati already know I spy on them for True Cross. Heh, this is the most fun I've had in my life.

Besides, it's not like I have a family who would miss me.

[ what ]

[lionson]

You really aren't taking any of this seriously, are you?

And don't badmouth your family like that. I saw how hard they fought to bring you into this world. They wouldn't have done that if they didn't love you.

[He's assuming Shima is the right age to have been around during the sickness at the Kyoto temple, even if it was just before he was born.]

[yamantaka]

Oh believe me, I am. I've been a spy since before I even started at True Cross.

What family? I don't really have one.

[lionson]

What are you even-

[Oh.

Oh wait.]

...so that's what you forgot, is it?

[yamantaka]

[ thinks for a long moment ]

--Ah, I suppose so! I just remember being a part of a temple, but not much else.

[lionson]

That temple was the temple for the Myou Dha sect. Lotsa families lived there, yours included.

You've got a big family, kid. Several brothers and sisters, all who love you very much. Even if you don't remember them right now, they'd miss you if you died. So be careful, ok?

[yamantaka]

[ he smiles. it's... an attempt at comfort, but shima doesn't really care about it. he'd say something about how he would have no problem with leaving them all behind all the same, but the look on shiro's face suggests he shouldn't say anything about that. ]

I don't plan on dying anytime soon!

[lionson]

[He's Trying, and that's all anyone can ask of him.]

Good. Because if you did, I would have to yell at you.

[yamantaka]

Hah, wouldn't be the first time someone from the Order yelled at me.

[ :) ]

[lionson]

I really don't want to yell at you, so don't make me yell at you.

[yamantaka]

I'll try not to.
