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!

[ w. why is she staring. ]

Absolutely not. Why?

[siblingless]

Oh.

[Uh. Hm. She lifts a hand to gesture at her own neck.]

Well, um... You have something...

[arcsplainist]

[ He lifts a hand to his own, but obviously doesn't feel anything. ]

—Do I? I... hadn't noticed. What is it?

[siblingless]

... I think it's something I oughtn't say too loudly. [She shuffles, as if to scoot a little closer to him. Perfect whispering distance.] May I?

[arcsplainist]

[ Welp, he has a concern. ]

Of course. Go on.

[siblingless]

... It says you're terrified of ghosts.

[Whispering! Alphinaud, your secrets.]

[arcsplainist]

[




oh. ]

—What?

[ A hand immediately flies up to his neck. ]

I... I know not how it got there, but you needn't pay it any mind!

[siblingless]

[She holds her hands up, trying to placate him.]

I promise, I won't! I just thought, um, you should be aware of it.

[arcsplainist]

[ why this ]

... And for that I thank you. I shall see about removing it next I am able.

[ because. somehow, someone wrote that on there, right?? ]

'Tis naught but a prank in poor taste. [ A beat, and then he adds, perhaps a little too quickly: ] And a baseless one, at that.
