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'm just your local time magnet over here.

[And he leans in, bumping his forehead against hers, lightly.]

Maybe. But its because we have each other that we managed to pull through. I believe in that.

[chanteuser]

Mm.

[ she smiles, and leans into the forehead bump a little ]

I don’t disagree with that. I’m not sure how many times I can get away with saying thank you though, before the words lose importance.

[robopriest]

[There's a pause.]

[His smile widens - he almost looks a bit cheeky.]

Well, I don't need thanks, you know. I'm happy with whatever you give me.

[chanteuser]

I know.

But I like to say it anyway.

[ she looks thoughtful for a moment, like she’s considering something.

then she stops, and gives him enough time to slow the strange little shuffle they’ve been doing this whole time. just so she can curl a hand around the back of his neck, and lean in to kiss him, very gently.

there are plenty of ways to say thank you, after all. ]

[robopriest]

Heh.

[She kisses him, and he returns it, easily - his own hand, shifting up her back, pulls her a little closer. There sure are a lot of ways to say thank you, its true, and this? This is one of the best.]

[After a moment, he breaks the kiss, only to turn his head so that he can kiss her lightly on the cheek.]

Now that? I definitely rate that a twenty out of ten.

[chanteuser]

[ she laughs at that - the kiss on the cheek, the comment. light hearted and happy. at her feet, the cat purrs and rubs itself against both of their legs, just as content. ]

Only a twenty, hm?

[ she leans up and presses a kiss to his cheek as well, hand moving back into the hold they had before - her hand on his shoulder, and this time she laces the fingers of their held hands together. ]

[robopriest]

Oh? And here I thought that was the limit. Maybe I need to reassess. Two hundred? Two thousand?

[He laughs, but though he teases, he's quiet, like he doesn't want anyone else to overhear. They both move back in their shuffle again, but Hansa is much more relaxed in his movements, his smile ever so fond.]

I think I need to rate you up to infinity, at this point.

[chanteuser]

[ she just goes pink. stop. but she's not trying to move away, in fact she's keeping closer than before. this is nice? even with the teasing, and the fact she still has no idea how to dance, it's just nice being close and moving with the music. ]

Only if I get to start assigning points too. And not just for dancing. [ fair is fair. ]

[robopriest]

Hm? You want to assign points? Go ahead.

[Its easy, to let everything melt away, and just think about nothing but them, dancing, in the middle of a lavish ballroom.]

Can't really beat infinity, though.

[chanteuser]

[ hmmmm.... ]

Infinity plus one.

[ gotcha. ]

[robopriest]

Wow.

[And a laugh.]

I need to change my answer to infinity plus two, then.

[chanteuser]

Nope. Plus one's the highest.

[ are you both five is this what this is ]
