WEEK FIVE: MINGLE

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.

[ alex is dressed in one of these dresses at various points during the week because this is my chance and i'm taking it. she wears the simple one, or the blue one a little more than the dark one, though. ]

i. bakery

[ alex can be found outside the bakery, peering into the window at the cakes and pies on display. she seems more curious than anything. close by, sat on top of the cart selling turkey legs, a bright eyed black cat is sprawled on top of the cart, eyeing the turkey on display intently.

alex looks up sharply and points at it. ]

Don't.

[ the cat looks at the turkey legs, then back up at her. and then its form melts into that of a little blue songbird, which flutters over to her shoulder and nestles against her neck, hidden by her hair. ]

ii. hedge maze

[ alex is stood by the entrance to the hedge maze, but hasn't gone in yet. she keeps raising one hand and then the other, frowning at them, and then holding them up to the sides of the maze. ]

I can't remember if it's left or right hand on the wall and follow the path to get through...

It'd be bad to get lost in here.

[ on the ground by her feet, the cat flicks its tail but offers no advice on the topic. ]

iii. wildcard

[ the usual! any other ideas you might have, just dm me to chat and we can go for it. this is also the weekly call for pcs, as always! ]

Surely you weren't going alone?

[hi, alex. emet-selch is here, dressed in black robes (not halloween costume ones) again, his mask on his face. he's no longer slouching as he folds his arms and looks down at her, one tiny dino perched on each shoulder, a pallas cat walking over to sit by alex's feet.]

I doubt I shall hear the end of it from them, if I allow that.

[ ... why does she feel like a kid with her hand caught in a cookie jar? ]

...

... I wasn't planning on going too far?

[ her daemon's tail flicks, like a giveaway they've been caught out and pads over to sniff curiously at the pallas cat. hello there. ]

Mm, not willing to try a taste, Alex?

[he makes no mention of the song bird that has disappeared from view, just smiling faintly while he trots up, his tiny deer accompanying him]

Oh, I'm definitely interested in the food. Just not... this little one stealing scraps from whatever he finds.

[ the bird peeks out through her hair. hello. ]

Ah, hello.

[Giving the bird a smile as the deer's nose twitches in interest]

Perhaps we should grab something for our newest additions? I doubt the dinosaurs would be able to eat any of this, but maybe these two...

Some of them will go for it anyway, trust me. [ looks tiredly at loretta. who is also here. sat on alex's foot. and then at alex's thread with yona. ]

But they do all look pretty good, don't they?

[Loretta... young lady...]

Indeed. I don't--

[A pause. He squints and tilts his head, but then continues]

I don't mind trying one. Is there any in particular you would like?

[ she's a rebellious young lady who does what she wants. ]

...

[ h m ]

I'm fine with anything. Or... I guess. I don't know what some of these would taste like, but I'm willing to test them to find out.

Well, hopefully we will not need any particular currency to try them. I'm afraid I am low on funds.

[Ha ha ha they're all poor

He's absolutely going to enter and take a few for them, however! The deer will stay with Alex, giving an excited bounce on her legs while they wait.]

[ well they’ve never needed cash money before, so! ]

If you have to pick though, something fruity would be nice?

[ but she will leave the choice in his centaur palms. the bird flutters into the shop alongside chiron, cheeping excitedly. ]

[Ah, bird. Chiron will lean over and whisper to it]

You may pick what you like. I will grab it for you.

[ the bird puffs up his feathers excitedly, and flutters down to hover over the different desserts, like it's testing them to see if they're worthy of his time.

eventually, it trills and starts doing happy little loops above a rather tasty looking apple pie.

meanwhile, outside alex stops trying to peer in the window to give the little deer some fuss. ]

[Apple pie? Very well, he grabs that long with three other desserts, ranging from fruit pies to chocolates (though those won't be for the animals, Chiron still vaguely remembers you shouldn't give those to most critters), and then makes his way back outside with the bird in tow.

Meanwhile the deer is perfectly happy nuzzling at Alex's hand for attention, she loves to be pet? Spoil her, thank you.]

Here we are. One for each of us, though the chocolate will be for me.

[Should centaurs eat chocolate? I dunno.]

Aren't you just supposed to pick one and stick to it?

[ there is a red panda and a velociraptor at her heels. let us explore a maze. ]

Is it either/or? I couldn't remember if it was one over the other.

[ hmmm. ]

Alright then, right or left, Ochako?

[ can they even all fit in this maze. ]

[ they can now ]

Let's try the left!

[ she raises her left hand ]

Left it is! [ and she'll be dragging her fingertips along the left of the hedge as they start walking, as their guide. ] I wonder if you can get lost even if you are following the left wall the whole time...

Well, if you don't know where you are, you're still lost. You just have a better way of finding an exit like this. Might take a while, though.

Better to have a chance of getting out than none at all, right?

[ ... ]

Although we might be able to climb up the hedges if we get really stuck. [ please do not. ]

Somehow that seems like a bad idea.

[ as if she wouldn't do it just for fun? ]

I think we'll be fine. If we really have problems, we can just ask these guys to help, right? They could turn into something with wings and lead us out from above.

Oh, this one turns into something with wings, for sure. [ the cat is padding along besides her, looking quite content ]

So if we get lost they're either our distress signal, or our guide out of here. Right?

Exactly! So I think we'll be okay for now.

...So do you think there's something out here that they were trying to hide, or is this just some big thing royalty does because they can?

.... Both, maybe? It's a good way to hide something, but also like... something someone with a lot of money would do for the sake of it. Don't you think?

Oh, for sure. It's crazy how rich people spend their money! They could just hide something in a safe like normal people if instead of building a whole maze for it!
