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.

[ same homelessness!!! dw about it.

xie lian gives her a smile in solidarity, quietly understanding, and passes her another pastry. let's just eat sweets forever. ]

I do still hope you could bring your friends back to a safe Realm when all of this is said and done. What's the first thing you're going to do when you see the young one again, do you think?

[stillnot]

[ she happily takes it. she could eat sweets all day. but struggles to keep up the forced happy mood at that topic. haha! ]

I hope so too, but... Don't want to get my hopes up too high.

First thing will always be making sure he's okay. Getting us out of whatever shit we're in the middle of. [ which is a little bit hazy? but it's fine. that's fine. ]

[dianxias]

Of course. I pray that he is well, and that you will be able to return to him safely.

[ nod nod. nothing too forced here - he's very sincere as he says so, his well-wishes as always genuine and compassionate. ]

There's no comfort more than knowing the ones we care for are safe.

[ she appreciates it, and offers a sincere smile. then tries to steer the conversation back to a lighter tone. ]

I guess that's kind of what places like this are about, huh? Just... Relaxing with people?

It's really... What's the word. Luxurious? Makes you feel spoiled.

[dianxias]

Yes, I think that is exactly the case. Perhaps it's unusual for us, but... in a more optimistic way, we could say too that it's a special occasion.

And... [ looking around briefly at all of the ladies (and hua cheng) (and taako) chattering around them ] ...I think there is no shortage of people who can help us figure out the best way to enjoy it.

[ she feels a little self conscious about how ill-suited she is to this kind of thing, buuuut. she looks around too, and it's - nice to just see everyone relaxing. ]

... Yeah.

And it's hard to go wrong with good food.
