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.

[soulus]

[Finally, he's been let inside. Rufus is too busy looking around to answer.]

[infreefall]

Looking for something, Wilde-san?

[soulus]

I'm familiarizing myself with this room. Please do not mind me.

[infreefall]

You sure you don't want to do a face mask while you're here?

[soulus]

I will only accept a face mask provided by my employer.

[infreefall]

[ . . . ]

What if I pay you in face masks?

[soulus]

I have no need for those.

[infreefall]

But your skin does! You need to make sure you're moisturized!

[soulus]

Does my face look dry?

[infreefall]

[ she makes a show of leaning in to get a better look. ]

...Yeah. You definitely need to moisturize.

[ his face is probably fine, she just wants to see this happen ]

[soulus]

My answer still remains.

[Only Hilda can shove a face mask his way.]

[bisouled]

Rufus! You're not going to play?

[ she knows the answer already. however, this is her job now ]

[soulus]

I will play . . . if you pay me.

[bisouled]

And... what am I supposed to pay you with, exactly? Haven't got any money on me or anything.

[soulus]

Any kind of favor will do.

[bisouled]

[ this again...

she raises an eyebrow at him, though she looks like she is thinking about it. ]

Mm... I'll pass. I already know you'd do just about anything, so the "dare" part is out the window to start.

[ she didn't even see the frog thing, she doesn't know how right she is ]

[soulus]

[Rufus stands there, expressionless.

Beside him, the wolf whines and turns away in very visible disappointment.]

[bisouled]

[ looking at the wolf... looking at Rufus. ]

... Wait, do you want to play?

[soulus]

When did I say that?

[The wolf looks tentatively back at Fiora.]

[bisouled]

You didn't. I'm just getting good at reading you.

[ not really, though - he just has a convenient wolf with him. Fiora's bunnit is just peering over her shoulder. It has a shower cap on now for some reason. ]

Come on, sit over here with me. We'll go a round or two. Just for fun!

[soulus]

[Although no longer as disappointed as before, the wolf whines again.]

. . . I will go a round for payment.

[bisouled]

[ and, of course, Fiora has to go for the easy choice on her dare, too. ]

Rufus, you're so steadfast and reliable. I know you'll be there for me when I need you, no matter what. That's my favorite thing about you.

[soulus]

[He expected to turn his dare in and let that be the end of it, but then she turns around and does this.]

Of course. We are business partners, after all.

[The wolf lifts her head, looks around in mild confusion, and rests her maw on folded paws to eye Fiora from below.]

[bisouled]

[ Fiora sighs, and the bunnit's tail droops in sync with it. ]

And there's my least favorite thing about you, [ she mutters. ] Well, I still meant it, dare or not.

[soulus]

[The wolf watches the bunnit, then hides her face behind a paw. Rufus remains silent.]
