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!

So there were two copies of that book here? Or did they borrow yours for a bit and return it?

[chanteuser]

[ ... ]

No, the book was never here. It didn't come with me. I'm talking about when I was still at home, I was using it then.

[lionson]

Huh. Maybe it was a different book than yours, then. But I definitely saw a sign language book.

[chanteuser]

Unfortunately, I can't check... but it's not like that was the only sign language book to ever exist. It could have just been a different book.

[lionson]

True.

[A pause.]


Aaah, we may have gotten sidetracked here. I'm sorry.

[chanteuser]

[ she laughs ]

Right... you're supposed to be telling me how repent for my borrowing sins?

[lionson]

Right, of course! First off: return the book when you can. Secondly: if it's a book on sign language then you borrowed it to learn, yeah?

[chanteuser]

Yes, that's why I was using it.

[lionson]

Then I would say a good way to repent would be to use those language skills to help others.

[chanteuser]

[ she just makes a seres of motions with her hands. ]

[lionson]

I know what you're doing, but I only know maybe five of those at most.

[He makes the sign for 'stop' since that's one he knows.]

[chanteuser]

[ she makes the motions again, but speaks along with them. ]

That's what I'm trying to do. I'm still a beginner.

[lionson]

Even as a beginner, that's still something special. I hope you can grow and learn more of it.

[chanteuser]

[ she drops her hands. ]

It's... interesting to learn.

I don't think I hid it particularly well though, Nicholas and Worick both seemed to figure out what I was doing really early on.

[lionson]

Is it a problem that they know?

[chanteuser]

Not really? But like I said. I did just borrow the book without asking.

[ for a woman at a "confessional" she seems entirely not fussed about borrowing without permission. ]

[lionson]

[Alex plz, you're supposed to repent here.]

It sounds like it was for a good purpose though, and you do intend on returning it. So I think you can just say 'sorry for borrowing it' when you return it, and that would be enough.

[chanteuser]

[ haha! ]

That sounds simple enough. [ if she gets the chance to when she gets home ]

[lionson]

To be fair, it was a simple crime. Unless you have something else to confess?

[chanteuser]

No, that's pretty much it.

[ :) ]

[lionson]

Ahhhh, you're such a good person then! Keep up the good work.
