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!

...That's the spirit, huh?

[she... pulls off her boots, at least, and chucks the hat, bag, and other accessories to the side—then does a perfect swandive off the plank, yelling as she does:]

Elsa!

[and sploosh.

she swims up easily, her braided hair untwisting behind her as she does.]

i forgot my last tag and thought elsa was just shouting her name like a pokemon

[bisouled]

Yeah, I remember.

[ she was a Chosen One at the trial -- but Fiora's not about to bring that up. She swims over excitedly. ]

It is warm!

[showyourself]

You've got an excellent memory, Fiora.

[she's starfishing, just vibing on the top of the water, now. ahhh.]

I've never been in water this warm. Oh—except for a bath.

[bisouled]

Oh, come now. There are only so many of us here! I'd like to think I know mostly everyone's names by this point.

[ anyway. ]

Hehe. I'd say the same thing, but we visited some hot springs up in the mountains a bit before I came here/

[showyourself]

A hot spring! I've never been to one, but I'd love to. I imagine sitting in a warm, natural pool, surrounded by snow, watching the aurora in the skies...

[siiiigh]

...Well, this is pretty good, too.

[bisouled]

Yeah, that's exactly what it was! It was in Valak Mountain up on the shoulder. The whole place is covered in ether crystals, and at night, they glow so brightly that the snow looks like gold. It's really beautiful.

[ fiora's not quite sure she can float on her back, so she's just treading water nearby. ]

[showyourself]

[elsa has no idea what an ether crystal is. or where valak mountain is. but that's happened enough now that she's aware it prettymuch doesn't matter? so instead, she simply comments:]

That sounds beautiful, Fiora.

[she. sighs. and this place would be beautiful too, if it wasn't for the. death.

this emotion is strong enough that fiora can feel it, even given their slight distance. the craving for... well, normalacy.]
