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.

[ she scritches behind the tiger's ears as she talks. the weasel, meanwhile, is doing this to soo-won's hand. ]

I can't believe you need a book to tell you that a kiss on the lips is like, romantic. [ snortlaugh. ] You're right, though. It is a sweet sentiment.

Maybe you can find someone to practice with. I bet there are several people who would love hands-on experience. [ lup you are going to kill him ]

[wow this is the cutest weasel in the world?? soo-won will just move his fingers to give the weasel gentle scritches and fingies to play with

but he's just going to turn more red as lup continues to tease him]

No, that's - alright! And I knew that, it was just—

.... I'm not sure. It's meant to feel different, isn't it? Romance? Though I suppose even if it did, I wouldn't understand it well...

You feel different when you're with people you seek romantically, right?

[evocationary]

[ she watches him for a moment, expression faintly amused. ]

... Yeah. Supposedly. [ and she glances away, down at the tiger, spoiling it with scritches. ] I'm guessing you don't feel that way about anybody here.

[recrowns]

[there's just a sheepish laugh at that]

No - at least, I don't think so.... I like everyone very much.

[and he just doesn't examine what kind of like that is, or bother comparing how much he likes people]

But I hope everyone's able to find happiness regardless, if romantic fulfillment is what they seek. Maybe I'll understand it better one day.

[evocationary]

Doubt it!

[ don't be rude, lup ]

Love's a powerful force, regardless. Romantic or not. It gets us through a lot of things we wouldn't normally be able to.

[recrowns]

[lup is valid and she's right, but even if she's rude soo-won's just going to laugh because he's so hard to offend]

Fufu, that's an awfully sweet sentiment coming from you.

But I agree. People are often stronger when motivated by love than spite, even if sometimes it looks like it can be close or the feelings are related.
