WEEK FIVE: MINGLE

[retellers]

WEEK FIVE: MINGLE (29 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. Finally, should anyone check their PHS, Alyssa, Hikaru, and Bucky'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. On that note, if your character did not stay, please make sure to check your notifs. Once again, participants may find that they have difficulty recalling complete details of the past weeks. Finally, participants will find that they now have another pet to take care of. Small creatures (based on any animal of player choice, real or mythical) will be following them around all week. However, these creatures are emotionally tied to their participant, so whatever the person they are connected to is feeling, they will outwardly display it. Angry? They will be hostile. Happy? So are they! Even more, they will react to other participants based on how theirs feels about the other. Anyone their participant loves, they will also love. Hope you don't secretly hate anyone, that might be awkward.

i. music room

[ at some point on monday, you might hear... violin? it's definitely violin. it's coming from the castle, and it's a little hesitant, like maybe the player is a bit out of practice, but.

if you head towards the music room, you'll find a small weasel wrestling with a spinosaurus in the doorway, playfully. and if you look in the music room, you'll find lup, in these glasses and this dress, playing with her eyes closed. ]

ii. town

[ lup can also be found in town, taking in the sights, a weasel settled around her shoulders.

at one point she grabs whoever she sees and hands them a turkey leg. ]

What do you think?

wildcard

[ or hit me up for pcs! ]

[uhhhmagic]

[joining the wrestling is a mongoose? it’s just squeaking aggressively. But it seems to be having fun.]

Is someone torturing a cat in here . . . ?

[evocationary]

[ she pauses, and then squints across the room. ]

Wow, rude? That's so not constructive criticism.

[ the weasel bites the mongoose's ears, but it's playful? probably. ]

[papasha]

[Blanca's polite, so when he gets to the music room, he doesn't interrupt her. He's extremely quiet. He leans against the door frame with one raised arm and one in his pocket, listening.

A German Shepherd moseys up beside Blanca and sits, his tail swishing slowly on the floor. He waits until Lup is pretty much done,

and then gives a boof of a bark suddenly without warning. The noise is appreciative and excited, though.]

[evocationary]

[ for such a big dude, blanca is very quiet. which is why when his doggo boofs lup startles and nearly drops her violin. the weasel squeaks excitedly at the sight of said dog and abandons the poor spinosaurus to zoom over and dart between the dog's legs, curling around them almost like a cat.

lup, on the other hand, just - laughs? ]

Oh, you would have a dog, wouldn't you? [ tease, tease. ]

[papasha]

Would I? Good afternoon, little red ruby.

[Which sounds like, yeah, he knows he would absolutely have a dog. Said dog prances a bit when the weasel zips over, and then the dog just

flops down gently on top of it, very playfully, before beginning to sloppily lick it.]

I didn't know you played the violin. You play very beautifully.

[evocationary]

[ the weasel immediately starts squeaking at top volume, just like absolutely losing it's mind. it's not trying to get away, though. just squirming. ]

Yeah, I learned... a long time ago. It's been a hot minute. [ she just ignores her daemon for now. ] Thanks.

Do you play at all?

[dianxias]

[ turkey leg shoved in his hand, xie lian lights up. ]

For me? Really?

[ his tian lu's head briefly peeks its head out of the space between his back and his hat - and then, quickly, it morphs shapes into a ferret! to immediately perk up and try to touch noses with the weasel in happy greeting. ]

[evocationary]

[ the ferret gets an excited squeak as the weasel not only touches noses, but also just yeets itself over to xie lian's shoulder in order to cuddle it. ]

It's better than whatever garbage you have in your sleeves. [ she says dryly. ] Go on.

[dianxias]

It's not garbage...

[ he just mumbles that, because garbage assumes that it's something you throw away? and he is going to eat it later. it's recyclable!

anyway. the ferret looks delighted too, and immediately proceeds to snuggle with the weasel. they are now a ball of fluffy noodle. xie lian is clearly happy, balancing two cute animals on his shoulder and a turkey leg in his hand.

which he takes a bite of, a bit dainty at first. ] Oh-- [ oh that's. ] ...This is delicious...

[ he's gonna absolutely scarf this giant piece of meat yea ]

[evocationary]

[ xie lian is living his best life ]

Isn't it? Pretty authentic. Really feels like I'm standing in the middle of uh, Phandalin.

[ she'll get herself one of those turkey legs and - proceed to also scarf it? she is by no means delicate in destroying this turkey leg. for as much shit as she gives people, she's a monster when it comes to eating. ]

So, this week's - thing is pretty neato. [ she gestures at the noodle ball. ]

[antaressnipe]

... You play beautifully, Ruby.

[At first he was not going to intrude, but his baby T-Rex saw wrestling happening and bounds over without permission, followed close by a small deer who would probably sigh in exasperation if she could]

[evocationary]

[ she pauses after she's finished, and sort of grins at him. ]

I told you! Remember? Like, weeks ago. You didn't believe me. [ he probably did but pblbhththtt

the weasel immediately tries to climb the deer and ride on her back. the spinosaurus on the other hand is going to chase the t-rex around the room. ]

[antaressnipe]

I don't at any point remember doubting your word.

[As if he would!! Also this patient deer allows the weasel to basically boss it around, if this ain't truth in advertising. Chiron spares a moment watching the dinos crash into each other with a sigh before he decides he might as well enter the room proper]

Do you have a favorite song?

[evocationary]

I, uh... I really like that one that I just played. [ she purses her lips. ] Can't really remember why.

[ i love this because it's just an excuse for me to link my fave pieces but she hums, and then starts absently playing this, still with that sort of hesitance. she is actually really good, she's just rusty.

the weasel settles in a ball on the deer's back and proceeds to nap. ]

[stillnot]

[ clem will wait out whatever song lup is playing, staying in the doorway like she doesn't want to intrude. ]

[evocationary]

[ when she finishes playing, and notices clementine standing there, she pauses, and then just does a super over the top bow. ]

[stillnot]

[ she claps! ]

I didn't know you could play.

[evocationary]

It's been years since I have! But. For sure, yeah.

I missed it, actually.

[riegan]

(FEED THE DEER. He will never grow but feed him.

A white dragon had been on his shoulder but as soon as Claude notices Lup has food, the dragon is beating him to it and flies off with it.

Well,)

... I think she likes it.

[evocationary]

[ oh, there she go

lup looks amused at least, as the weasel on her shoulder chitters angrily after the dragon, poking his head out from under her hood. ]

It's fine, there's more where that came from. Cute dragon.

[riegan]

(Make all the noises you want, weasel! A dragon's gotta eat.)

It is cute, isn't it? (Even if? It's a dragon? A dragon! Hah.) Your little friend isn't too ugly itself.

(It's also very cute! But he's going to come over and check out the food now. A deer boy has to eat.)

[chanteuser]

[ oh.

that sure is a turkey leg. ]

It's huge?

[evocationary]

Yeah? That's the point. You don't eat turkey legs unless they're bigger than your hands.

[ take it... she waggles it. ]

[chanteuser]

[ i mean she'll take it. ]

Really? I've never had one.

[ this sad, amnesia driven life she leads. ]
