WEEK TWO: MINGLE
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! |

...
There's a wave of bitter empathy.]
This is why I wanted to do this... Elsa-sama. [The title feels strange on her tongue.] I know it's scary, but...
Write down what you can remember, okay? You know you're a queen, and you know why... even if you don't know how.
no subject
...Gone. So it was pointless...?
[on each page is written line after line of neat, tidy script—but some of the pages seem to scramble, shift, and blank when not looked at out of the corner of your eye.]
I remember... I abdicated. Good. Anna's queen, now. And... [she frowns, shaking her head again.] No, nothing. [the nervous, panicked anxiety pours off of elsa in waves, splashing on to hikaru.] I'm up North. Yes. Elsa. Anna. Olaf... okay.
Okay.
[she takes a deep breath, and... it's an incredible transformation. all the fear, anxiety, and everything—it starts to minimize, as if it's being compressed, like a neutron star—until it's almost gone.
where'd it go?
meanwhile, elsa clasps her hands in front of herself, and exhales.]
I think... whatever I write down, it has to be while you watch me do it, Hikaru.
[what a. roller coaster of emotions.]
no subject
Anxiety isn't new to her, but the intensity of it definitely is, as is how astronomically fast it seems to be shoved down to such a small point that it doesn't exist. Eh? Ehhhhh?
All that's left is confusion and concern, the girl looking a little frazzled at that wave of whatever the fuck that was.]
A-ah... mmn, right! I'll stay right here if you need me to, Elsa-sama.
...
Is... something wrong with your diary? I can try to read it...
no subject
it's. literally the entire plot of frozen and frozen 2, plus supplementary content, so if she's looking for anything in particular, just let me know and i can tell you what she finds!! otherwise i can tell you what's there from a skim!]
I don't know how useful you'll find it, though.
[now, she's just radiating quiet sadness, a quiet, cold feeling.]
no subject
It's okay, Elsa-sama, this... this is exactly why I want to do this.
Give me just a second, okay? You said Anna-chan was the queen now... Do you remember when you became queen before then?
no subject
[hikaru can easily find King Agnarr and Queen Iduna's names, very near to the beginning of the book. there's a story of how they met, but you'll have to tell me in a DM how much of it she reads.
she'll have to look a bit deeper to find out how they died, though! that'll take some more flipping.]
no subject
Mmn...
Okay... Yeah, I think I might have found it! [She'll turn the journal over, capping her pen just so she can use it to point out where, exactly, the names are written. She's gonna watch Elsa very, very closely as she does this.]
Elsa-sama, what do you see when you try to read this right here?
no subject
[that's an easy answer.]
It's all gone.
no subject
Hikaru nearly reaches for her hand, but thinks better of it before she accidentally shocks her. No touching, right... Still, there's a wave of sympathy, seeing how Elsa's face falls when the information is right in front of her.]
It's not gone for real, Elsa-sama... and if we work hard, it won't be gone forever. Don't worry. Even if you don't remember now... I can still see what you wrote just fine.
Do you trust me, if I put the names here on your paper?
no subject
[she shakes her head. the anxiety is back, the background buzz, like a pounding migraine.]
Go ahead. You can write anything you see.
no subject
[There's a confidence in it, a concern, one that just spurs her to action with Elsa's permission. She'll keep the journal open long enough to check the spelling while she writes her additions as neatly as possible:
--born as eldest princess to the Kingdom of Arendelle, to KING AGNARR (FATHER) & QUEEN IDUNA (MOTHER).]
Agnarr-sama... and Iduna... sama... there, there we go.
Mmm.... I'm gonna see if Rabbit-san can find me markers with brighter colors. Maybe if we could highlight the things that look funny to you, or things that just look like big blanks.
no subject
...What?
no subject
[oh, wait, hm. she remembers vesda-san pitching big baby bitch fits about his name like this...]
Did... it sound weird to you, Elsa-sama, when I said their names?
no subject
Huh?
I'm... sorry. I feel like I keep missing what you're saying...
no subject
she just
plants her chin in one hand and kind of squints at elsa for a moment, trying to use the single braincell that was gifted to her somehow]
I wrote something you forgot. You can't see it, and I guess you can't hear it. But it's there.
Did you understand that?
no subject
[she stares at the paper.]
Okay. And... you filled it in for me?
no subject
[She'll lean over to add a smiley face next to her addition on her paper as a kind of signature, giving the smiley a braid with a bow. It looks very silly but at least she keeps it tiny. She'll then gently close the diary for now, handing it back to Elsa.]
Promise.
no subject
[she stares at the smiley face.]
I can keep going, if you like. [the smiley face is giving her a good break point]
no subject
What kind of place is Arendelle like?
no subject
"I was born in Arendelle, a kingdom in the far north, nearest to the lands of the Northuldra, the people of the sun, and the dark sea. The title of Queen was passed on to me when I came of age after my parent's passing. Three years after, I abdicated the throne, and my younger sister, Princess Anna, stepped into the role of Queen."]
...How's that?
