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.

Neither are you, so that makes sense. [unfortunately this is a compliment.]

[stillnot]

I still am when I want to be.

[reconnective]

Oh, so now it's just a choice? I see how it is. [he does not find her even remotely prickly at this point, but he also has a high tolerance for this sort of thing.]

[stillnot]

[ she doesn't actually reply to that but she's scooping up her hedgehog and holding it out for him to take. it only seems fair. she has his ??cat?? ]

[reconnective]

[oh. okay. he will take this hedgehog and hold it carefully in both hands so it doesn't get dropped or anything.]

...you're right. He's kinda soft. [it could be because they're not really real, but still.]

[stillnot]

Don't know how long he'll last, but I like having him around for now.

[ the hedgehog will uncurl in sora's hands, sniff around... and then just settle down. ]

[reconnective]

These might be what we have for the week. It's just a way nicer option than most things. [this hedgehog is precious and he will die to protect it.]

[stillnot]

I do like them more than ghosts and dinosaurs.

[reconnective]

Yeah...I like Littlefoot just fine, but this isn't bad at all. I don't really get what it means is all.

[it's been a whole day and he has not figured out the animals are mood rings. it's fine.]

[stillnot]

[ she. doesn't understand it either!! haha! ]

They just wanted us to have... Unique pets, I guess?

[reconnective]

[glad they're both like this.]

Maybe. Pets do make people happy. Maybe the Realm felt like giving us a break.

[stillnot]

Iiii'm not giving it that much credit, yet.

It has to win me over with a little more than a cute hedgehog and a very snuggly kitty.

[reconnective]

It's only Monday and we're in a fairytale castle. Who knows? Maybe all your dreams will come true sooner than later.

[stillnot]

I don't even know what that would look like.

[ this is the less bleak version of admitting that she doesn't really have?? dreams??? for this place to give her?????? ]

[reconnective]

It's not like they have to be big. You could even wish for, like, an infinite amount of desserts or something. I just think they're nice to have sometimes.

[stillnot]

Oh, if that counts that one already came true. Earlier people were just handing me sweets.

[ which was just 10/10, honestly ]

[reconnective]

[i'm. he looks briefly startled but.]

Well. Okay! There you go! [dreams really can come true. wow.]

[stillnot]

See, there's the problem. This place is accidentally giving me the princess castle and cake party I wanted when I was eight.

[reconnective]

That's the cool thing about dreams. When one comes true, there's always room for a new one. [i definitely wrote this before remembering tangled was a thing in kh3 god.] Even if it takes time to figure out what it is, it's not a bad thing to find a new one.

[stillnot]

[ SORA your DISNEY ]

My standards are a lot higher, now.

[reconnective]

[he. reaches forward to playfully pull the brim of her hat down a little.]

Then start dreaming big.

[stillnot]

[ she just bows her head to follow the motion. ha ha! ]

I'm thinking about it.

[reconnective]

Good. [dreams are important to have and he's going to stick with that.] Think really, really hard. I'm sure you'll figure out something.
