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!

[There doesn't seem to be any true, extravagant ceremony to it - she sets out a paper with a list of names in front of the kamidana with her sword laid flat in front of her on the floor, kneeling behind it. After a moment, she placing her hands flat in front of the blade and bows her body low, her head touching the ground, before rising up at the waist to put her fists to her knees and sit, very calmly, very quietly, for a long few minutes.

He'll know when she's done when her posture finally relaxes, quietly moving to pick the sword up and retrieve the slip of paper.

On seeing him, she'll start slightly, before giving a please smile and a nod of her head.]

Alphinaud-kun... ah, hi, good morning!

I'm just finishing, I promise. You haven't been waiting there for a while, have you?

—Oh, no, nothing of the sort.

[ He lifts both hands in a reassuring gesture. ]

You mind not that I had been watching, do you? I grew curious about the... hm. I would guess it is a shrine of some sort.

[me staring off to space at his accent but it's fine, he talks like Clef who is also short and fancy with his words, so thank god Hikaru can survive]

No, you're fine. Thank you for not interrupting me! That was really kind of you.

Mm, you're right, though. I don't remember a whole lot about the details, but... I know that it's a place to pay respects. Usually to a god, but... I think someone put it here for other purposes, too.

[ He listens, then nods. ]

'Twould make the most sense. I am unfamiliar with the customs associated with a shrine such as this, but it was still very kind of them to do so.
