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!

[ Fiora is looking out at the ocean and the dock and the boats with nothing short of delight - she's out at the very edge of the boardwalk, peering out at the horizon and into the water, too. ]

Wow... This place is amazing! It's so beautiful here.

[ are you nearby? she's waving at you. ]

Have you gone for a swim yet?

[ you may get the feeling you're about to ]

HOWLING ROSE

[ she's never been on a ship meant for water before, really, and especially not one like this, so she's enjoying poking around the ship. Eventually, she makes it to the cargo deck, where she finds the stored goods - including the ammunition. ]

... That's gunpowder, isn't it? Keeping that around doesn't seem like a good idea.

[ or maybe you see her after the fact on the top deck of the ship, carrying one of those cargo boxes around. Or, well... attempting to. Apparently, it's quite heavy, and it's impressive that she even got it up the two flights of stairs, judging by the obvious exertion in her body language. Fiora manages to drag it over to one side of the ship, by the wall. Then, quite suddenly, she collapses onto her knees on the ground with a heavy clunk. ]

WILDCARD

[ anything else is fine if you have a particular scenario you want to play out!! feel free to tap me on discord. also, i am 200% open to both emotion sharing and shocks, so go for it - you don't need my permission! ]

docks

[chanteuser]

[ fiora she's wearing a dress, it's a nice dress, pls.... ]

No?

[bisouled]

[ get in the water alex ]

Want to give it a go? I saw a bunch of really colorful fish swim by earlier! The water's warm, too.

[chanteuser]

[ no you can't make her! ]

I... don't have a swimsuit?

[ does she even know how to swim?? GANGSTA EXPLAIN?? ]

howling rose!!

[dianxias]

[ oh!!! ]

...Miss Fiora, do you need -- ah!! [ SHE'S FALLING OVER?! ] Miss Fiora?! [ xie lian is running as fast as his injuries will let him over to get next to her - ]

Are you alright?! [ his emotions are very genuinely concerned! and also a little confused. ]

[bisouled]

[ xie lian is too good for this world. From her, he'll get -- fear, mostly, and worry, as she pulls herself into a sitting position, trying to catch her breath. ]

Yes, I'm fine... Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you. I just slipped. [ she looks up at him in concern, now. ] -- Aren't you injured, yourself? You shouldn't run around like that.

[dianxias]

Oh, it's nothing to worry about: I barely feel it. [ ???? that's so concerning

anyway. ] Um - I'd offer to help you up, but I fear it wouldn't end well for either of us.... Can you stand?

docks/wildcardish

[reconnective]

[well. some dumbass happens to already be in the water swimming around near the dock, so when he sees fiora out here admiring the scenery he settles to tread water, grinning up at her.]

Enjoying the view?

[bisouled]

[ SORA... a boy after her own heart. She giggles when he pops up nearby. ]

Hi, Sora. I am! There's nothing like this on my world - er, not really, anyway.

[reconnective]

At all? [she doesn't need to be in his emotional bubble to hear the surprise in his tone.] This must be really different for you then. I don't know if I could imagine never seeing the ocean before.

DOCKS

[showyourself]

Oh, no. I haven't. Not yet, at least.

[despite her pirate finery, she's still very polite about all of this. she just doesn't have the heart to go full naughty pirate, you guess.]

Were you thinking about going for one yourself?

[bisouled]

[ oh look, it's one of the MURDER SUSPECTS!! just kidding, Fiora is also very polite. ]

Yeah! I'm really curious about all those reefs and fish. I've never seen any water like this!

[ Eryth Sea had reefs, too, of course, but they were by and large above the pool of water on the Bionis's head, not beneath it. Also, infested with monsters. ]

[showyourself]

Me, neither. The waters around Arendelle are deep and cold, due to our positioning on the fjord. I've only ever read about fish like this in books...

I wonder how warm the water is...?

howling rose

[frostythehitman]

[ Vezda glares at the ammunition like it's personally insulting him. ]

I'm getting rid of it.

[bisouled]

[ fiora doesn't have the greatest opinion of bucky, but on this, she can agree with him. She nods solemnly. ]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. We should dump whatever we can find overboard.

[frostythehitman]

[ He slaps the top of a case of it like this bad boy can fit so much murder in it-- ]

Let's do it then. Maybe two sets of eyes will catch all of it this time.

docks

[exercisms]

It is really beautiful!

[He's smiling - he looks like he's having a nice time. But he shakes his head when she mentions a swim.]

That's okay. . .

[bisouled]

Oh, do you not know how?

[ concern... ]

[exercisms]

I know how.

[He doesn't want to. :| ]

Howling rose

[misstrust]

Fiora?!

[ Dorothy can't say she expected to see her lugging around a cargo box, but then she goes and collapses and Dorothy immediately trots over-- catching herself in time because right, no touching. Probably not wise to get too close, either. ]

... Do you need anything?

[bisouled]

[ she'll come over in time to hear Fiora going "ugh" and rolling back to sit properly instead of on her knees. ]

A nap, maybe, [ she replies dryly, though her voice is a little thin. ] No, I'm okay. Thanks, Dorothy. I think the floorboards are warped around here...

docks

[antaressnipe]

Me? Oh no, it will take too long to get dry if I go in.

[bisouled]

[ oh, it's archer... he seems to be treating her normally, so she'll follow suit? It's fine. Nothing happened. ]

Oh... yeah. You probably have a hard time swimming, too. I've never seen an Eks dive underwater or anything like that.

howling rose!

[siblingless]

[oh my god]

—Fiora-san?! [Hello. There is now an extremely concerned teenager crouching down next to her.] Are you alright?! What happened?

[bisouled]

[ thanks to that handy-dandy emotion share, Sumi will feel a healthy dose of worry and fear when she gets closer to Fiora, who is leaning against the gunpowder crate with a sigh. ]

I'm okay! I'm okay. I just tripped on that floorboard there. I was focusing too hard on carrying this thing.
