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!

[Alphonse is immediately and intensely flattered]

Ah, well, my brother and I studied from a young age since our dad left behind a lot of books and research. It is a really interesting science, though! Chemistry, biology, engineering, alchemy has helped all of these fields advance really quickly.

[catching himself before he goes off on too much of an alchemy nerd rant]

There's alchemy where you come from, too?

[It's okay, Al, you're in good company. Chiron is a whole nerd unto himself.]

There is, yes. It is considered one of the Thaumaturgical Systems that specifically studies the manipulation of the flow of matter.

I am not a proper mage myself, and so the finer details escape me, but a few schools of thought have resulted in this study -- some deal with the creation of homunculus, for instance, and others have obtained spells that allow the consciousness to be transferred into vessels.
