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!

[reconnective]

Yeah, I guess so. But there're still so many worlds out there that I haven't seen. I kind of want to see more of them someday, but maybe not right away. [a flicker of sadness.] This was just another adventure on the way home.

[lecarre]

[.... She tilts her head a bit.]

... Is everything all right...? It's just, um... well, I suppose you must be homesick, if you were on your way home and then got dragged into this.

[reconnective]

Mm. [he can't really deny that is the thing, so he thinks of what to say.] Our journey started a couple of years ago, but I've only been back home once or twice since then. We never got to stay for long before we needed to keep going to save the worlds.

[but there it is. that flicker of hope that doesn't seem to disappear ever.] But I'll get back there again soon. I know it. My friends are waiting for me.

[lecarre]

[Ah.... that hope...

It's warming.]

You will. You definitely will, for sure.

And your friends will welcome you so happily when you get home.

[reconnective]

I hope so. [there's that beat of homesickness again, and something like longing.] But when I get back I'll have all kinds of stories to tell them about the cool stuff I saw here and the people I met.

[he will most likely not tell them about murder. murder is bad.]

[lecarre]

[everything but the murder.]

I will have so many stories to tell as well... but back home, I honestly do not think they will believe me about all of this...!

I suppose for someone like you, who has seen so much more, it is a little different.

[reconnective]

Maybe. But I'm sure there's stuff they won't believe from me either no matter what we've seen together. [he can't help but grin then.] Back when I first started my journey, we did all kinds of stuff and I used to think about telling Kairi everything even though I didn't think she'd believe me. I don't think she would have until she saw it herself later.

[ange, please ignore the sudden doki.]

But it's still important to share those stories, I think.

[lecarre]

[... She can't ignore the sudden doki, it's cute??

She won't tease him about it, though. Much.]

I see... she must be very important to you, right?

[reconnective]

[well. he can't exactly lie either and dokis intensify as he looks away. he does not see.]

Yeah. She is. She's one of the greatest people I know and...my whole journey was about finding her to bring her back home. Riku, too. [friends...]

[lecarre]

[Friends...!!]

You must all care so much for each other. That sounds nice--having a group of important friends like that.

I'm glad you were able to find her.

[reconnective]

Yeah. Me too. Both of them were missing for some time but everything's back to the way it should be now. They're both okay.

[now it's just a bunch of warm, sappy friendship feelings. gross. and maybe still just a little sadness.]

[lecarre]

[CUTE SAPPY FEELINGS... but oh no.

That sad feel...]

... Right. [Maybe she shouldn't ask.] Then that is truly all that matters. I'm very happy for you, Sora!

[reconnective]

[no one here is sad and no one can prove it!! especially given he's just reflecting his own happiness back to her.]

Thanks. I am, too. [there's a glance at the ocean again.] Think that friend of yours would like something like this?

[the one she wanted to travel with.]

[lecarre]

[There's a flash of happiness, sincere and warm.]

Oh yes! She undoubtedly would love to see such a beautiful place! I wish I could show it to her...

[reconnective]

[ange is so precious.]

Too bad we can't take pictures or anything. We'll just have to spend more time here to remember every single detail. That way, when you see her again? You can tell her all about it.
