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!

It's better to try it and fail than to not try at all. I just... don't want to see something like last time happen again.

[ she almost wants to pat yona's head but. y'know. rule 9 is out there stopping our fun. ]

I don't either. I don't think it'll be difficult to push for more explorations, we just need to make sure we really think about where we need to go first. It might help if people who do investigations tells us straight out if they feel they missed something big due to a lack of time, or something?

[ like... y'know. immediately knowing there was an alien on the mon with a knife that didn't get grabbed. that WAS useful. ]

[dawnblushed]

[forget and do it anyway, it would be funny]

Right, that's definitely a good idea.

[chanteuser]

[ britt i know you're out for any and all kinds of blood but yona is a good girl!!!!!!! who doesn't deserve this!!! ]

We have to try, right? No more mess ups like the one we just had.

[dawnblushed]

Right. Definitely no more of that.

[god. next game i'm apping an asshole.]

[chanteuser]

[ haha, same. ]

We've seen how badly things can go. So... if that's not a good sorce of motivation to get this right, I don't know what is.

[dawnblushed]

["you all die if the killer gets away with it" would probably be good motivation too, but this isn't dangan ronpa.]

We can do it. We have to.

[chanteuser]

[ thank god can you imagine what we'd be like with a win or die mechanic? terrible. ]

Right. It's as simple as that. We have to.

[dawnblushed]

[i'm going to run a game with a win or die mechanic but i'm going to come up with a plot that will work if we all end up in the graveyard w1. just in case.]

...we'll manage. [she smiles.] Even if we don't like how last time ended up, it's a learning experience.

[chanteuser]

[ the gy is the main game and everyone has to figure out how to revive into the "real world" with limited spaces each week. boom. ]

[ she sighs. ] A terrible one. There's got to be a better form of motivation here.

[dawnblushed]

[yea pretty much. compete in the gy to become part of the survivor pool.]

...we'll find it.

[chanteuser]

[ we all get to experience the gy and we'll all run screaming for the living world. ]

We can't afford not to.
