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!

Oh, this? [He looks a little sheepish.]

I wanted to see what would happen if I didn't share a memory last week, and it looks like the Realm picked a talking point for me.

[lionson]

And that talking point is that the space police wants to dismantle the government.

[tensecondsahead]

It's really just me.

My subordinates are loyal enough that they'll go along with it when it's time but it's hard to get a movement going with all the surveillance.

[lionson]

Why are you trying to dismantle the government in the first place?

[tensecondsahead]

It's a long story. I just don't think any civilization that sacrifices children for its own prosperity deserves to continue to exist. [There's a feeling of... apprehension. And relief. He shouldn't be talking about this, it's beyond treason, and here he is just saying this openly.]

[lionson]

[You ever start a talk with a stranger and then suddenly find yourself immediately relating to what he says? Because that's Shiro right now. And there is utter shock coming from him as he realizes that too.]

Child sacrifice?

[tensecondsahead]

[He glances around to see if there's anyone watching.]
