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!

[There's a lot of papers with everybody's names at this point! Assorted Info. This looks normal and fine.]

Yoshizawa-chan! Aah, hey, did you know that's where Usagi-chan is from, too? You should go say hi to her sometime!

Oh, uh, write that place name down with your actual name, okay?? I wanna keep track.

[siblingless]

Is she? I didn't know that about Tsukino-san.

[So much info... She raises her eyebrows, though.]

I'm sorry. Do you mean how I would normally write "Tokyo?"

[heartablaze]

Yeah, she told me last week! I think she lives close to somewhere with good sweets, so we talked about it a little.

[At the second question, she simply nods, producing another Mystery Pen and handing it to Sumi.]

Mmn. Your name, where you're from, and, um... a food you'd eat if you could have anything at all in the whole world.

[siblingless]

Then, I'll have to talk to her about it. Perhaps she can recommend some good shops.

[She will accept the pen, tapping it against her cheek for a few seconds while she listens to Hikari's explanation.]

May I ask why we're writing all of this down?

[Said while she lowers herself in order to start jotting that information down on the sheet. In order: Yoshizawa, Tokyo, Sakura-san's soba noodles.]

[heartablaze]

To try and remember. If we can't remember things ourselves, the maybe we can help remember things together.

The PHS is removing people's profiles... so I was gonna just try this for the people that aren't there anymore. But I thought about it, and I think maybe it would be a good idea for everyone?

[She will take a peek, though.]

Yoshizawa-chan, is there a reason you just go by your family's name? Did they never give you your own?

[siblingless]

... That's really kind of you, Shidou-san. If you ever need help organizing those, please let me know.

[That said... She shakes her head.]

It's not that. I almost certain I have a name of my own, it's just... I can't remember it anymore.

[heartablaze]

Ah... Would you mind? I mean, I'll need some help for sure. There's still over thirty-five of us, so even if I wanna do it all myself, I think I'll just worry people.

[Ah. But her name...]

So you're like Vesda-san, then...

I'm glad you still remember part of it, Yoshizawa-chan. That you remember you had a family. And if you ever forget that, we'll be here to try and remind you, or help you find something that still helps you feel like yourself, no matter what happens. Okay?

[siblingless]

I don't mind at all! We have to support each other, don't we?

[... She smiles a little at that, grateful.]

Thank you. It... means a lot to me to hear you say that.
