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!

Does it make a difference if they were taken to help someone?

It provides context to your actions, and it makes them more understandable. But an important part of life is understanding that wrong actions done for a good reason are still wrong, and you have to make up for them later.

For example, if you take a loaf of bread to feed starving children, that is understandable. But you still need to go back and pay your dues to the baker at some point. In the future, when you have money, you can go back and pay. Or you can go back and apologize and offer to work off the price of the bread. It doesn't have to be an exact exchange to count, but it must be something equal in worth.

Or you can just ask the baker what an adequate price is, and go by their suggestions. Though be careful doing that, some people will try to take more than they're owed.

...right...

[but there's no shopkeeper for the emporium...]

Should I ask the Leaders what they want to make up for the stuff I took before, then?

You could. I know a couple people left items at the Emporium in exchange for what they took, so you could do that too. And others wrote IOU letters, declaring their intent to pay later.
