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-I don't know! I don't why I said any of that!

[ aaaaaaaa ]

[asjdlkasdjfla--

R-reaching over and gently tussling her hair in an attempt to calm her down??]

I know it probably does not comfort you, but I am flattered you consider me in such high regard.

[infreefall]

[ her red panda friend is probably fluffed up and pacing in agitation, while ochako covers her face and wishes she could float away. her voice is muffled from behind her hands. ]

I swear I'm not trying to replace them...

[antaressnipe]

... I know. You are not that type of person, even if you could replace them.

[Chiron's baby deer sees that agitation and goes over trying to gently headbutt the other creature so that it might calm down]

... I care very deeply for you as well, you realize. I have never had--

What was he thinking again? Ah. Anyway--]

You are like family to me. The feelings aren't one-sided.

[infreefall]

[ she peeks up at him through her fingers, surprised. ]

Really?

[antaressnipe]

But of course. I would not lie.

Even if it's only during our time together here, please rely on me for anything you should need.

[infreefall]

[ slowly, she lowers her hands, and the red panda gently rubs against the deer. ]

Okay. I will.

...I'm really sorry I said that in public though, Archer-san.

[ EMBARRASSING. ]

[antaressnipe]

... Ah, yes. We've yet to get to the bottom of that mystery.

[Dad-face is back on]

You needn't worry, Ochako. Something must have happened...

[infreefall]

That's such a weird effect, though. I don't remember any of the RSVPs doing that, do you? But even with those, the effects aren't supposed to wear off for a while...

[antaressnipe]

... So you feel normal again, then?

[infreefall]

Mm, I feel fine.

...It's not that I didn't mean it, either. I just... couldn't stop it, once it started?

[antaressnipe]

No, no. That is alright.

[A smile]

I'm glad whatever effect happened to you has run its course.

[...] Well. Perhaps we can narrow down on a reason in private.
