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.

[ it's not grabbing the part that's actually injured, for the record. it's a nice bunnit!! ]

No infections? You've been changing the bandages regularly and all?

[soulus]

Someone else changes them for me. The wound is cleaned then.

[bisouled]

Wait... You let someone else do it?

[ now that's unexpected. ]

[soulus]

Yes. Is that a problem?

[bisouled]

No, the opposite! I'm relieved you talk to other people!

[soulus]

That's a given. I am contracted to more than one participant.

[bisouled]

I wouldn't call it a given. You've got a pretty difficult personality.

[ blunt, as usual ]

[soulus]

I will be satisfied as long as I am paid.

[bisouled]

See? Exactly.

[ this is a problem she has no confidence can be fixed, though, so. moving on. ]

What kind of problems are you intending on solving, anyway?

[soulus]

[He does not see.]

That depends on the requester. If major problems cannot be addressed by a single participant, I will solve anything that is minor.

[bisouled]

[ she knows. she knows so much. ]

So you're looking for odd jobs, then. [ ... ] I think you need a hobby.

[soulus]

My hobby is counting money. As you know, I'm unable to do that here.

[bisouled]

I mean something that doesn't involve money. Like... knitting! Or fishing!

[soulus]

I will do odd jobs for payment that doesn't involve money.

[bisouled]

[ rufus your one-track mind ]

No, no! You'd be doing it just for yourself. You know, to relax.

[soulus]

Doing work relaxes me.

[bisouled]

You'll burn yourself out like that, immortal Haros or not!

[ mom mode is activating. ]

[soulus]

I've been doing this for centuries. A handful of odd jobs will not exhaust me.

[bisouled]

[ sigh. ]

You're totally impossible. [ she puts her hands on her hips. ] What if my request is for you to relax?

[soulus]

What would that entail?

[bisouled]

You stop standing on the bridge asking people to give you jobs, and go sit down and read for a while - or take a nap, or draw a picture or something. There must be something you like!

[ other than his mom. ]

[soulus]

I like payment.

[bisouled]

[ she's too stubborn to give up now. ]

What about music? Oh, or exercise! You've got to keep in shape.

[ his chest is always out so she can tell ]

[soulus]

I can keep in shape by working.
