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 can promise you that he won't.

[showyourself]

[WHY

the snow leopard wrapped around her piques with interest, and seems to be examining the red panda closely. hm.]

Can't you just ask it not to?

[infreefall]

[ hm. she looks down at the red panda in her arms. ]

Don't bite Elsa-san, okay? We like her.

[showyourself]

[at the "we like her", elsa looks like she'd like to immolate on the spot. the leopard yawns nervously, making a tiny nyahh noise of concern.]

Okay. I'll pat it.

[...

pat.

god but it is fluffy]

[infreefall]

[ the red panda leans into the pat and makes a soft, contented sound. ]

See? He likes you, too!

[showyourself]

[elsa looks a little relieved.]

Thank you.

[infreefall]

Of course!

So, remember when I told you about red pandas? [ she hefts him again! ] You just pet one!

[showyourself]

[oh!]

...That's not what I imagined at all.

[infreefall]

[ hehe ]

Well, now you know! I told you they're fluffy!

[showyourself]

Very much so. I sort of imagined... a little fox with a mask on it.

[the snow leopard reaches forward with one gigantic snowshoe-like paw, and gently bats at the red panda. henlo.]

[infreefall]

[ she laughs, and sets her red panda on the ground so he can poke back at the snow leopard. ]

I see why you were confused. It's kind of hard to describe, though!

...Okay, but I asked you for a dare, so it's your turn. What do you have for me, Elsa-san?

[showyourself]

[well, since xl explained...]

Truth or dare?

[infreefall]

How about a dare?

[showyourself]

I dare you to... hmm.

...Give your little red panda a hug?

[infreefall]

[ she snorts, and goes to give the little guy a hug. ]

...You can ask me a truth, too, if you want. I don't mind.

[showyourself]

Okay, then...

[...]

What makes you happy?

[infreefall]

[ ...oh. hm. ]

Seeing my friends and family smile. [ she actually looks kind of sad as she says this, though, haha. ] Knowing that they're happy, and safe.

[showyourself]

...That's very nice.

[infreefall]

It's something everyone wants though, right?

[showyourself]

For many of us, it is.

But that doesn't make it any less special.

[infreefall]

Guess that is true. It's just a little difficult to make it happen here, I guess.

[showyourself]

...It is.

But not impossible, maybe.

[infreefall]

...Then I think I'd like to see you smile again, Elsa-san.

[ elsa has had a rough night. ]
