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!

Do I need to get you a bar of soap for your mouth? You're making my ears burn over here.

Nah, it's fine, I don't need that. No need to bring back memories of the orphanage. I'll behave now.

[He is laughing as he says that though.]

Haha. Well, if you say so. I hope you learned your lesson, and repent to the Lord, atone for your sin...yada yada yada.

[A beat.]

I confess that I haven't really done something like this in a while.

[ITS VERY OBVIOUS]

[It's very obvious, yes.]

Ah, see, that's the problem! Everyone confesses to the priest, but who does the priest confess to?

How long is a 'long time'?

Exactly! Like, there should be a priest for priests, or something.

[A shrug.]

Don't really recall. Father Cervantes does more of that sort of thing. I travel for the Church for certain jobs, so it just isn't part of my regular duties.

That makes sense. Well, if you ever need to confess here, there's at least one other priest who can take your confession. Or I guess you can confess to God, that's probably what we're supposed to do, yeah?

I guess. We all can discuss things with the Lord. But admittedly, it is a rather one-sided conversation. Maybe this is better.

Agreed. God has a habit of not saying "you need to not do that anymore" when you confess to stuff.

[Just looks up.]

I'm sorry, God, but you need to work on your communication skills.

And please don't smite the messengers!

Haha!

[The feelings that come across are...sincerely pleased, almost fond.]

...You know, it's nice. Not a lot of priests can joke around with me, but you keep up, old man.

Likewise. So many of my co-workers are absolute sticks in the mud. It's nice to have someone with a sense of humor.

Its like they specially train people of the Church to have no sense of humor. I mean, the good Lord created the platypus, He really has to know what a joke is all about.

You might as well just say 'He created all of Australia', that gets the same effect.

[Look at all those death-animals in Australia.]

Oh, Australia is just Him having a real bad start of the week. I mean, the amount of death there just screams "I hate Mondays".

"Let there be light, but not over there."

God just really hates Australia, that's all there is to it.

Ha! I think you're right. But then again, every place has its own problems, yeah? So there's no favored country, really. Just some that are hated less than others.
