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.

[ maybe his feet are a normal size, ochako. think of the secrets you're going to uncover. ]

Are you leading or am I?

[infreefall]

[ stop she isn't a feetishist ]

I wouldn't know how... what exactly makes someone the lead in a dance, anyway?

[chanteuser]

[ don't make it weird ]

...

Um.

[ she has no idea ]

... The name kinda suggests they set the pace...? I think?

[infreefall]

Wouldn't we just follow the music for that?

[ she knows

absolutely nothing about ballroom dancing ]

[chanteuser]

[ this is fine ]

There are steps though, aren't there? Like... someone moves and the other person follows them? And they fit those steps to whatever song is playing.

[infreefall]

Well, there must be, or there wouldn't be ballroom dances, right? But it's not like I know what they are... I've never had to learn anything like this.

Maybe we should just wing it?

[chanteuser]

[ they're doing great. ]

...

Winging it works. Who's going to tell us otherwise?

[infreefall]

Mm! As long as we're having fun and not stepping on each other's toes, it's fine!

[ i hope they absolutely butcher a basic waltz ]

[chanteuser]

[ they're gonna ]

Right.

Okay, so... hold. I guess you put your hand on my shoulder? [ alex do you really want to lead here? ]

[infreefall]

[ ...alex is a little tall so maybe this is a bit awkward but you know what, ochako can have high heels, just for this. she does as alex suggests! ]

So that means you have to put yours on my waist?

[ that's how the movies do it right ]

[chanteuser]

[ alex is already bending down a little so she can do exactly that. ]

Yup, that's it. And then we move? [ she thinks. time to shuffle, awkwardly. ]

[infreefall]

[ . . .

they shuffle. ]

...Somehow I don't think this is right.

[ she says it with a laugh, because while it feels awkward? it's still kind of funny. ]

[chanteuser]

[ shuffle shuffle ]

Mmm... I'm pretty sure it's meant to be more graceful than this, yeah.

[infreefall]

Well, at least no one can judge us.

[ she's pretty sure no one can make left shark look graceful? ]

You're having fun, though, right?

[chanteuser]

[ someone probably can, but alex doesn't care. ]

Yes. It's kinda fun once you get into the rhythm of the steps, right?
