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!

I'm okay.

[Squinting at his neck.]

Why does it say that?

[arcsplainist]

—Hm?

[ Alphinaud looks down at himself, trying to find anything off, and finds nothing. ]

Pardon me, but what do you mean?

[exercisms]

[Pointing. This isn't helpful.]

[arcsplainist]

[ It's not!! He looks again, suddenly appearing very self conscious. ]

I, erm... You will have to excuse me, but I know not what you mean. Have I done something strange?

[exercisms]

Why would you be scared of something like that?

[This still isn't helpful.]

[arcsplainist]

[ Alphinaud just. Stares? What's happening here?? ]

What... I am scared of?

[ ?????????? ]

[exercisms]

Ghosts.

[He's still not explaining why he's asking this, though. Sorry about it, enjoy your tattoo.]

[arcsplainist]

[ There's a long pause, then: ]

..... Where, exactly, are you seeing this?

[exercisms]

[Pointing again at his neck.]

It says it right there.

[arcsplainist]

[ There's yet another pause before a hand flies up to his neck in an attempt to cover... whatever is there up.

Why is he afraid of something like that, Mob asks, and then mentions ghosts. Oh no. ]

I— I could not say what is written or how it got there, but you needn't mind it any!

[exercisms]

So you aren't afraid of ghosts?

[arcsplainist]

[ Alphinaud just. Stares for a moment. Would he believe him if he just. ]

Wh— what is there to be afraid of?

[exercisms]

Nothing. I guess that tattoo must be wrong.

[What a relief!]

[arcsplainist]

[ Bless your soul. He cannot believe he got away with that. ]

... Yes, of course! 'Tis naught but a prank in poor taste. I will have to see if I can do something about it later.
