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.

Mmhm. My cultivation path always dictated that such things were forbidden, which was a difficult rule for many to follow, but... it never bothered me. I never found anyone even remotely interesting, especially if comparing things like "romance" to swordfighting and cultivation.

[ swords > women ]

Not to mention, when I was still young enough that such things mattered, I just ignored it, to the point it made my father crazy. I learned quickly how to avoid unwanted attention, too, even after that.

But everyone here seems so very... um, invested, in such things.

[there's just a little bit of a laugh at that]

Mm, I understand. I had arrangements to see if I could form a marriage before I came here, but I didn't find it all too pressing.... Nothing manifested from the talks but - well, it's alright. I just hope the girl is happy with someone else.

[but he does seem to understand! sort of.]

Do you receive questions often even here?

[dianxias]

Haha... well, you were better than I was. I refused to even meet with marriage prospects. It used to make my father crazy.

[ they arranged him a whole harem which he ignored in favor of... his martial arts. of course.

as for the questions, as he's leaning over to look at the book, xie lian tilts his head, thinking. ] Mm... sort of? Miss Ochako and Miss Usagi seem to think that I am involved in something... but there's really nothing.

And...as far as I know, I've not been cursed or anything. [ poor soowon. ]
