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... don't want to learn that badly? And that would inconvenience Blanca...

[but it's a sweet suggestion, alex??? (is it)]

But ah - the latter, probably. Maybe I'll be surprised but... well, I haven't understood it for this long, I'm not sure if I'll start suddenly?

[maybe it'll take the right person? or maybe soo-won realizing that the feelings are there? still unlikely]

[chanteuser]

[ inconvenience blanca, anna deserves it. ]

Maybe? I don't think there's a point when you're just expected to understand though. But I don't think rushing into it does you any good, just... y'know.

Be aware and consider how things might feel different depending on who you're interacting with.

[recrowns]

.... that goes for most interactions, doesn't it?

[in truth, soo-won is actually quite good at nuance and handling people!

it just seems that once it enters the realm of romance, he has no idea how other people might be feeling until it's very obvious]

[chanteuser]

Yes, but we're talking about the ones you're apparently not to sure about.

[ you can't dodge this one with your great inter-personal-skills-for-everything-EXCEPT-romance, Soo-Won. ]

[recrowns]

[ . . . . . do you mean the ones that he's not sure about because he can't tell how they're different from normal relationships?

which just leads to him going into a confused mental spiral because he's not sure what he's missing?]

Ah....

[chanteuser]

[ oh soo-won. ]

...

[ it's like she's watching him blue screen in real time. ]

Maybe thinking too much about it isn't actually going to do you any good...
