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.

[he's only here because everybody else left and he got lonely, but he's also seated on his own somewhere with a different friend that's snoozing.

he might be mildly bored, but these are all people he likes so it's fine. have fun, please play with each other, he will observe.]

[stillnot]

[ hi she's not here to force a truth or a dare on him, she's just?? pointing at his lil animal friend ]

What's that one?

[reconnective]

Hm? Oh. Necho Cat. Kind of cute, right? [he has no idea why they keep changing, but the creature trills as it opens its eyes and blinks at clementine sleepily.]

[stillnot]

It's really cute. Like a cartoon or something.

[ she just has a little hedgehog... sitting on her hat. ]

[reconnective]

Yeah. All of the Dream Eaters look like that. [he has no idea if he's ever told clementine about dream eaters but here they are. he's looking at the hedgehog with a grin though.] I'm surprised yours is staying up there.

[stillnot]

[ I DON'T THINK HE HAS so she's just ???? ]

I think he likes to be tall.

What's a Dream Eater? Is it as obvious as it sounds? [ a monster that? eats dreams? but it's friendly? ]

[reconnective]

He and I have that in common. [dryly. but there's a nod.] It's exactly what it sounds like. We worked with them when we were taking our Mark of Mastery exam and going through the sleeping worlds plagued with Nightmares.

[stillnot]

Heh.

Well, I like them. [ as long as she doesn't have to deal with any that get too dog-adjacent. she will offer the necho cat some scritches. ]

[reconnective]

I do, too. They're really good friends of mine. [lucky for clem the only dog-esque one is. meow wow. who is something. the cat immediately butts up into her hand though and meows happily, its dumb little tail brushing around her fingers and wrist.] No idea what they're doing here, but...oh well.

[stillnot]

[ kitty... clem hasn't been this close to living animals in a long time let alone affectionate ones... ]

Maybe they're just here to cheer you on?

[retellers]

[ at some point, swan teleports next to sora and smooches him on the cheek ♥ and then teleports away ]

[reconnective]

[hello swan????

goodbye swan???

...he just kind of grins and doesn't bother to do anything to stop it. they're valid.]

[axecessory]

[ this is actually so cute what the heck...... ]

[evocationary]

[ she's forced to do this for a dare so she might as well cheat ]

I like that you're brave.

[reconnective]

[lup. he just grins up at her.]

And I like that you're clever. [HE SEES WHAT YOU'RE DOING but it's okay he approves.]

[evocationary]

[ she pbhllthhhtttts at him and skips away to go win at truth or dare ]

[stillnot]

[ sighs, at some point after their other thread because ??time?? clem returns. ]

I have to sing you a song. If you laugh I'll kill you.

[reconnective]

Uh. [uh? he has no idea what was even asked at this point so he's just going to go ???] O...kay?

[he does not promise not to laugh but also there is a very real fear clem might pistolwhip him if he does. go ahead.]

[stillnot]

[ she sings row row row your boat because literally she doesn't know songs except for nursery rhymes. apocalypse, mom, etc.

but she doesn't actually look too upset about it, despite the threat. he can probably laugh without being pistolwhipped. ]

[reconnective]

[she's. trying. also it could be worse, her voice could be terrible, and he kind of lets this go before he settles for a grin.]

Probably better than I could do. [he thought about laughing but no, it'll slide.]

[stillnot]

Somehow it's a lot less embarrassing to sing with AJ than by myself.

[reconnective]

Yeah, that's sort of how I felt about singing with Ariel, too. [please stop talking.] Guess that means you just have to pick a really good dare in revenge, right?

[stillnot]

Do you just pick up skills from everyone you meet?

[ cooking, singing... but she nudges him. ]

I'm not mean, unlike some people. [ she is though. she is mean. ]

[reconnective]

Sort of! Usually they need our help with something and we go along with it. That time it was for a concert that was being put on it Atlantica.

[but he gives her a Look.] You can be mean for like ten seconds. Isn't the saying all's fair in love and war?

[THAT DOES NOT APPLY TO TRUTH OR DARE.]

[stillnot]

Isn't it weird for someone to just be recruited into an entire concert...?

[ what is his life....... ]

Is Truth or Dare war?
