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!

Thanks a lot. [but he grins in spite of that.] I don't know how well testing would go over, but these rules have to be here for a reason don't they? It could help us figure some stuff out.

[like why the rules keep changing.]

[misstrust]

I do think it's interesting that they were encouraging us getting closer, but now it's the exact opposite. I wonder if they're trying to discourage more killing, maybe?

[reconnective]

That's possible. It'd be pretty hard to get too close to somebody to hurt them without getting punished for breaking a rule. Maybe the punishment is something really big.

[misstrust]

I wouldn't risk it, Sora.

[ Just in case he's thinking about it. ]

[reconnective]

I won't. I've...already kind of risked some things here. I don't think I'll be doing that anytime soon.

[misstrust]

... Oh?

[ She's fixing him with Such a Stare. ]

[reconnective]

[...ahhhh intensifies.]

It's fine! Everything is fine, it's not a big deal.

[misstrust]

I'm not entirely sure I believe that.

[reconnective]

I'm in one piece, aren't I? [i've just remembered she's likely close enough she can probably feel the "AHHHHH" from him and also a little bit of guilt.]

[misstrust]

... Are we going to need to have a talk, Sora?

About not being so reckless, perhaps?

[reconnective]

No way. Do I really look that reckless? [...listen.]

[misstrust]

... Honestly, yes.

[reconnective]

Come on! It's not so bad! [dorothy please...he's a good boy.]
