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!

[ you bet your ass she’s wearing an appropriate pirate themed outfit all week ]

A. MISTAKES WERE MADE

[ relatively early in the morning, some time between breakfast and lunch there’s quite a startled wail from the direction of Usagi's room? not that she's where she should be anyway, haha. upon finding her, smack dab between her bangs this week read the words ‘Guardian of the Moon’ unless she tries covering it and it sits on the back of her hand instead. feel free to not to subtly stare at it. ]

B. A PHS PROBLEM

Ehhhh-? What kind of rule is this?!

[ catch her on the deck of the Rose making unhappy noises at her phone, grumping about the rule, this place, and the lack of camera when the ship rocks gently across the wave and Usagi stumbles. come watch in slow motion as her PHS flies out of her hand and splashes into the water below. whomp whomp there it goes ]


……………Ah. AH!!!!!!

C. AROUND TOWN

[ catch Usagi walking around the town being nosy because she for one has never been near anything like this in her life. she’s a city girl through and through and nobodies here to stop her? it’s fine. ]

Do you think people lived here?

[ she’s sticking her head into one of the unlocked houses, one step away from entering the building proper. ]

It’s so spooky….!!

D. WILDCARRRD ME
[ you can find her adventuring around the entire island getting into wacky hijinks and probably eating shit by simply existing. come at me ]

B

[supremity]

[ And ope.

Hua Cheng does nothing to help, because he doesn't expect her to be that terribly klutzy. He's had like, one direct interaction with her. ]

... ah.

[moondumplings]

[ congrats on seeing the disaster bunny in action, hua cheng.

she’s too short to lean over the railings without flopping over them so instead she sinks to her knees, clutching them like jail bars instead ]

Oh no....... no what do I do.......?

[supremity]

[ nah j/k ]

How good of a swimmer are you?

[ He's bullying her a little, to be honest, but he comes over to peer down over the railings. ]

[moondumplings]

......Aha..

[ debatable tbh ]

[supremity]

[ Dianxia....... ]

You could ask one of the leaders to fetch it for you, probably.

[ And admit your shame. And ask them to do this favor for you. ]

[moondumplings]

[ gently wails ]

What if it's not waterproof.....?!

[ is she screwed forever? oH NO ]

[supremity]

[ A HEAVY SIGH

He takes off his big ol' pirate hat - and puts it on her head - before shrugging out of his big ol' pirate jacket, dropping it over top both her and the hat. They'll slow him down, as he hoists himself up easily onto the railing. ]

[moondumplings]

[ she sputters underneath the hat and has to legit swim out of the jacket itself but eventually she makes it out to see him on the railing and- ???? HUA CHENG-SAN?? HELLO? ]

What are you....?

[misstrust]

[ Dorothy can't really ignore screaming in a place like this, though upon discovering Usagi, she blinks. And... ]

... Does the moon need a guardian?

[moondumplings]

[ usagi makes a noise of dispair covering her forehead all over, ignoring the fact it just helpfully transfers to the back of her palm again ]

All planets have a guardian.

[ she sounds a little sulky that she has to explain this ]

[misstrust]

... And why only one? Aren't they rather large?

[moondumplings]

[ you know, idr why there's only One. but since usagi wouldn't know anyways, she shakes her head, pigtails flying ]

Everyone works together to defend our solar system!! And since we all live on earth anyway...!

[ no space travel needed (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ ]

[misstrust]

You all live on earth but you were selected to guard unrelated planets?

[ Wait, then who guards earth-- ]

[moondumplings]

[ look at her face scrunch up to figure out how to explain this. guess who's never talked about this stuff out loud before!! but........ luna's not here to yell at her so yolo ]

No, no, no! We're from those planets! There once was a whole kingdom on the moon! But..... when it was destroyed we were all reborn on earth.

[misstrust]

Reincarnation?

I didn't know that was actually something that happened.

[moondumplings]

[ she nods!!! ]

I was really surprised to find out too..! But Neptune's power is really, really strong.

[ a pause. her face scrunches. is that.... the right planet........ ]

b!

[siblingless]

—Oh, no.

[She was poking around the deck, only to turn in Usagi's direction just in time to see the PHS fly out of her hands. The sound of it plopping into the water makes her wince, and she immediately runs for the railing.]

Tsukino-san, please wait here! I'll retrieve it for you!

[She's already kicking off part of her outfit in order to yeet. It's fine.]

[moondumplings]

Sumi-chan?!

[ in the midst of the wailing in despair, Usagi barely registers the arrival but she sure is Aware when Sumi starts stripping instead. ]

What are you-!?

[ notice she doesn't try to stop her though ]

[siblingless]

[The pants and shirt will stay, but once her boots and everything else have been shucked off? She will take a couple of steps back

and then

YEET

without answering her questions.

Farewell, Usagi.]

[moondumplings]

[ usagi just screams internally, externally, and flails to seal the deal ]

Sumi-chan!?

[ oh my god?! ]

a

[riegan]

Usagi...

(She's holding her hand to her forehead and yet, he's quite certain he still see whatever it is she's trying to hide.)

I can still see it.

(Sorry.)

[moondumplings]

[ she just makes a sad noise of despair ]

It won't go away......!!

[ putting her other hand on top of it just makes it cheekily transfer to that hand instead. it's like an endless game of chicken, rip ]

[riegan]

(Oh, gosh, what should he even do here?? She's upset? She's losing it?! He turns his head, making a point to show that he isn't looking,)

Look... I'm not looking, okay? So please, calm down. Do you know what's happening? Did you make someone mad?

[moondumplings]

[ honestly, she's more baffled by it than anything else. but it's also the first time she's had to deal with strangers potentially finding out her secret identity?! how do you even handle such a thing. thus, usagi like any other toddler, yells ]

I don't know......! It just appeared when I woke up. It keeps moving when I hide it.
