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 evening, and a mouse(?) jumps on top of this love poetry book that has him turning red. ]

Are you trying to find something to recite to Zuko, Won?

[recrowns]

[GUH he is now crushed under the weight of this mouse and also the sound of jeanne's voice

but the falcon that was perched neatly on some books will immediately move at attention when she approaches, flapping up to settle on her shoulder if allowed and nuzzle against her affectionately]

Please don't make such bold assumptions, Jeanne...

[discernments]

[ It's allowed. Jeanne reaches up to pet the falcon. The mouse will helpfully get off and nudge the book off Soo-won's face. ]

Is it bold? It seemed like a logical conclusion, considering what happened. It wouldn't be a leap, if that opened a door for you.

[recrowns]

[well he's still red but he at least will just laugh a little amusedly when the weight disappears - he'll hold his hand out for the mouse in case it'd like to come with him as he sits up]

Erm, no I don't....

That's not something I get to decide on my own either, is it? I'd rather not just assume that Zuko feels one way or another when we were under the effect of something.

[he is so blind]

[discernments]

[ The mouse happily clambers onto his hand as if it wouldn't want to be anywhere else. A traitor tbh. ]

He doesn't have to feel one way or another for you to read a poem to him.

[recrowns]

[this is the best mouse in the world? soo-won is just going to gently pet it with a smile]

Mm, I suppose not but...

A love poem implies certain things, doesn't it? Even I understand that much... I'd hate to be misleading.

[discernments]

[ The mouse is super content. ]

Even you, you say. Should I mislead you?

[ She picks up a book of love poetry and begins to flip through it. ]

[recrowns]

Well, I do think the easiest way to do so would be to avoid mentioning that you intend to mislead me.

[tbh but also - ]

The poetry's quite good, regardless.

[discernments]

Perhaps I'm saying so only to trick you later and not now.

[ Who knows? ]

The language used is lovely.
