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!

hmmm...? 1/2

[dawnblushed]

[happy monday! if you happen to be near the swamp, you might hear someone complaining before you see them coming...]

Ugh... wet shoes are the worst. I never want to go swimming again!

[...though, uh, as yona emerges from the swamp it becomes pretty clear that it's not just her shoes that are wet? she appears to be soaked from head to toe in gross swamp water, and there's something long and dark wrapped around her arm.

she glances behind her as she walks.]

...how are you doing?

2/2

[cuedoves]

I wouldn't call that swimming. It was more wading through leeches...

[ oh, hey, zuko is also soaked head to toe in gross swamp water! he's also missing part of his shirt? like strips were torn off? so you can see the chest! ]

[ uh. there appears to be something dark and long moving underneath what's left of his shirt? wtf? ]

... I'm fine. How badly do your legs hurt?

[dawnblushed]

[stubbornly:]

They don't.

[they totally do.]

[cuedoves]

[ ..... ]

Let's go to the first aid room.

[infreefall]

[ just. this face. ]

Are those leeches?!

[ GROSSSSS ]

[dawnblushed]

[looks down at her ankle


where there is indeed a leech]

Ick, I thought I got them all?!

[LEANS DOWN TO YANK IT OFF AND YEET IT BACK INTO THE SWAMP.

the long dark thing around her arm gives a little hiss.]

[cuedoves]

[ zuko's shirt is hissing???? at ochako ]

What? No! I got them already.

[dawnblushed]

[...]

Fine.

[cuedoves]

[ here they go....... will they be lectured on the way as they so rightly deserve? stay tuned! ]

[antaressnipe]

-- Yona.

[Children.

Dad is displeased]

[dawnblushed]

[Haha, oops.]

...it really isn't as bad as it looks.

[antaressnipe]

[Zuko don't think you're not also getting a side-eye either]

Which means it is still some measure of "bad".

[:|]

Will either of you need assistance seeing to the wounds?

[recrowns]

[BOTH OF YOU

Soo-won is here

Pleasantly smiling]

Allow me to help you.

[it's not a request]

[dawnblushed]

[aw crap



yona looks properly chagrined.]

Yes, Soo-won.

[recrowns]

[smiles!]

Thank you. I have supplies from the first aid station at the ready.

Do you need me to carry you?

[cuedoves]

[ and here's the other one, also immediately chagrined. ]

... Sure... yeah.

[recrowns]

[yay! he just continues to smile]

Thank you.

And thank you for looking after each other.

[dianxias]

The both of you...?!

[ AAAAH ]

[dawnblushed]

[oh huh suddenly yona can't see. hm. who's that. better just walk away quickly.]

[dianxias]

[ young lady you get back here this instant - ]

Miss Yona, we just talked about this...! Had you already made plans to go into the swamp?!

[cuedoves]

Oh..... hey.

[ with all the energy of "hello, zuko here" ] It's... not as bad as it looks.

[dianxias]

How deep did you two even explore - are those leeches?

[ he's coming over to pluck them if you didn't get them all, like a fussy parent you didn't ask for ] Come here, let me see...

[riegan]

(It's not that he isn't worried but in his experience, panic just leads to more panic and they don't seem too fussed?? So he just,)

... Sure looks like you guys had an interesting date.

(Because? Uh?)

[cuedoves]

[ i didn't see this tag wtf ]

It wasn't a date!!!

[ he practically yells that, which is suspicious in and of itself ]

[riegan]

Say it louder so everyone can hear, why don't you!

(AHEM,)

"Zuko and Yona definitely weren't on a date!"
