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!

Not in the habit to lie.

[ they said, known tsundere ]

[exercisms]

Well. . . it's good to be honest.

[retellers]

[ ............ they will throw mob one(1) bone: ]

But think what you want if it makes you feel better.

[ this is the worst fuckin bone ]

[exercisms]

[He doesn't want this bone at all!]

It doesn't make me feel better to pretend, but - shouldn't we not just accept that there's going to be murders?

[retellers]

I'm not that optimistic.

[ it is not optimistic to go "hey no murder" to a group, wolf, ]

[exercisms]

[He goes quiet for a solid minute, thinking about that.]

. . . Maybe the reason you feel that way is because you're a responsible person. You don't want to hope bad things won't happen, because you want to be ready for them if they do.

[retellers]

[ ........ ]

Uh. Sure?

[exercisms]

[He's bonding with you, like it or not.]

That must mean. . . that you care a lot.

[retellers]

No.

[ don't attribute that to them ]

[exercisms]

It's easier to think - it probably doesn't have to do with me, and I'm sure it'll turn out okay. That's the difficult thing about having to be responsible for things.

[retellers]

... Right. Is there a point to this?

[ can they get away from bonding please ]

[exercisms]

I was just thinking that we must all be underestimating you. You're a pretty nice guy after all.

[Bond!!!]

[retellers]

What.

[exercisms]

I'm sorry for making you have to be the one to think about bad things that might happen.

[retellers]

[ a repeated, but far more tired: ]

What. [ they shake their head ] No. That's not...
