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!

[Wow y'all have fun up there. Shiro is taking one look at the boat crew and deciding this is not worth it at all. Life over property.

First, he's calling up to Ochako:]

Oi! Get back to land, it's safer to fight there!

[Maybe. There's fire, but no risk of drowning.

But then Shiro is diving in the water to go after Hua Cheng and free him from the skeletons. Hopefully he can grab him before the boat tips over on both of them.]

[retellers]

[ Thank you, Shiro. Ochako and Hua Cheng will live to see another day because I am not mean enough to kill them off while Ray and Snow are asleep. Or nice enough, depending on how you look at it.

Meanwhile, Karen is yelling? The barkeep is just slowly trying to leave while she is distracted, but Karen is definitely yelling. ]

As soon as the concept of suing is invented, I'm suing you!

[assistance]

Wait, how do you even know what—

[ actually. she stops there because she is Well-Versed in timefuckery. she shakes her head and moves on—namely, to try and clear a path for hikaru and karen, because fuck if she's touching that rude ass ho anyway. ("alyssa you still shot her" yes and)

in doing so, a skeleton lumbers its way over to her, and she once again attempts to fire the gun... only to find out that it's empty. her uno bullet is just chillin in karen's leg now. it's fine? she very nearly fumbles the gun and gets gripped by the skellie, but even as its fingers burn at her skin, quick thinking allows her to just fuckin pistol whip it instead. that was a 16.

shiro save us too ]

[heartablaze]

[She's not gonna even pretend to stop the barkeeper, gesturing for him to just run, please????? Leave this nightmare land of horrible customers and spoopy skeletons on fire... aka probably a Hobby Lobby in Texas somewhere.

Unlike Alyssa who is apparently now allergic to touching rude people, Hikaru's definitely close enough to try to whip off her uniform jacket and try to press it to Karen's wound. Karen is probably yelling at her, but Hikaru is learning how to be a good Customer Service Representative and just ignore your customer's temper tantrum until they can be polite.

Well, until skeletons start to stroll on down to Alyssa, and in the process, back to her.]

Come on, are you kidding me--

[WHY CAN'T SHE BE A NORMAL HEIGHT SO SHE CAN JUST PICK SOMEONE UP AND LEAVE...

Time to shove a skeleton to the ground and kick its head across the room!]

[retellers]

[ Alyssa uses pistol whip! It's... effective-ish? The skeleton seems more confused about being whipped than anything, honestly.

Over at Hikaru, that skeleton sure does go flying! Karen grumbles and walks out of the burning room, but only because she doesn't like the idea that the barkeep beat her at something, which is escaping.

Once they're out, Hikaru can pass out from smoke inhalation. Goodbye. ]

[ So when he spots an injured woman skipping out of a burning building, this is cause for enough alarm that, in spite of fire, Alphinaud decides to quickly see if there's anyone else who might need help, so he throws open the door and: ]

—Is there anyone who...

[ He trails off, 'cause uh. There sure is someone trying to 1v10 a bunch of skellies. Neat. ]

[assistance]

—See, she can still walk, it wasn't that bad!

[ THE FAULT WAS STILL YOURS, ALYSSA

that being said. uh. hey alphi hope you didn't bring pizza and make this the troy community gif. alyssa looks behind her and she's so highkey running purely on adrenaline that her first reaction is to point the gun at alphinaud. but once it registers to her that he isn't another skelefuck looking to make their days even worse, she turns his attention over to the now unconscious hikaru by. also pointing the gun at her.

it doesn't matter if it doesn't have any more bullets in it that's awful trigger discipline jesus christ ]

Can you—grab her and get here out of here? I'm—I'm kind of in the middle of something here!

[ namely, trying to thwack some stubborn ass skeletons, please,,, ]

[retellers]

[ SOMEONE PLEASE TAKE THIS GUN AWAY FROM ALYSSA, JESUS.

But Alphi can either help Alyssa or check out the passed out child. Also, there's now a pirate ship and also a Kraken in the background of this thread. What the fuck is going on here. Everything is still on fire.

But these skeletons have not been informed about the temporary cease fire, so they are definitely still trying to attack. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ Sadly pirate ships and Krakens are perfectly normal things that exist in my canon, so thankfully for Hikaru's continued state of existence, Alphinaud is at least not weirded out enough by that to like, ignore her on the floor or anything. (It's not good, but you know.)

After he freezes and watches his life flash before his eyes because will someone take this gun away from Alyssa already. But, uh, right, passed out girl. Thankfully she is, like him, small. ]

I shall see to it that she is safe—you must escape while able, as well!
