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!

[ 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.

[bisouled]

Okay! It's probably easier with two people, anyway. These things look pretty heavy, even for me.

[ her robot arms can only do so much. in any case, she positions herself at the other end of the crate. ]

You take that side?

[frostythehitman]

[ He nods and positions himself at the other end of the crate. ]

Ready?

[bisouled]

All right... Here goes nothing!

[ it turns out this is smarter than trying to carry it by herself and falling over on the top deck? Fiora is strong, at least, hefting up her side with little more than a grunt. Unfortunately(?), the proximity means Bucky's now in range of that emotion share effect, but the good news is that she's not feeling much more than determination and a distant sense of worry. ]

[frostythehitman]

[ Well, sorry Fiora, because this emotion share is gonna be hella uneven then--Vezda is absolutely wracked with guilt and anger--mostly aimed at himself. So like, have fun with that all of a sudden.

Vezda himself, on the other hand, is focusing on the task at hand, dutifully carrying this stupid crate up to the top deck. ]

[bisouled]

[ woah. the wave of emotion is surprising enough that she almost loses her grip when it first hits her. Fortunately, she doesn't - but as they make their way up the stairs, she can't help but comment. ]

Hey... Is everything okay?

[frostythehitman]

[ At first he thinks the question is out of nowhere, until he realizes that the worry in his gut isn't his own, which means this stupid emotion-transfer thing is going on and Fiora must be getting his.

He grunts. ]

I'm fine.
