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!

[ they nod. ]

Yes! That's a good idea.

[dawnblushed]

Great! What do you want to train to do?

[retellers]

Um...

To be stronger!

[dawnblushed]

Right, but stronger how? Do you want to bulk up and get a lot of muscles, or learn how to use a sword or a bow, or...?

[retellers]

I... which do you think is better?

[dawnblushed]

That's up to you! Everyone has different strengths. I can shoot and use the sword, and I've gotten pretty good at kicking things, but I know lots of people who punch harder than I do.

[retellers]

I'm not sure if I can punch very hard at all...

[dawnblushed]

[she holds up one hand with her palm facing out toward rabbit, then puts her other hand behind it to hold it in place.]

Throw a punch! We can test your strength right now!

[retellers]

A-are you sure?!

[dawnblushed]

Yeah!

[retellers]

Oh... okay. Um, are you ready?

[ it's said in such a loud, startled voice. ]

[dawnblushed]

Yes! Hit me with your strongest punch, Rabbit!

[retellers]

I-I'm punching! I'm sorry!

[ they raise a fist, and puuuuuunch



it's not very effective. ]

[dawnblushed]

...

[glances at their wrist. glances at her hand.]

...there's room for improvement...

[retellers]

[ they bow frantically. ]

I'm sorry! I'll do better!

[dawnblushed]

Your fine! My punches were pretty weak when I started out, too.

[retellers]

Oh...

[ that seems to make them feel better. it's a good thing that nothing will happen this week that would probably require rabbit to be good at defending themself? anyway. ]

I'll train to be strong like you!

[dawnblushed]

[CRIES. should have started training rabbit sooner.]

We can train together, if you want!

[retellers]

I'll try not to get in your way then.

[dawnblushed]

It's not "getting in my way" if we're training. You're supposed to be there, that's the whole point.

[retellers]

Ah.

[ a bow ]

We will be in each other's care.

[dawnblushed]

[she bows back]

Yes, we will!
