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 helps if I have at least a vague idea of what kind of thing you'd like to know about?

[soulus]

Our purpose is to interact for the sake of gathering nova. The subject doesn't matter.

[misstrust]

Hm, then...

First... well, I was thinking I'd like to properly defeat you at that drinking game one day.

[soulus]

I do not drink. That time was an exception.

[misstrust]

It doesn't have to be alcohol. The winner could be just who has the fuller glass at the end of a certain time period.

... And no tiny sips.

[soulus]

I have better ways to spend my time . . .

[misstrust]

It's still interaction, isn't it? It doesn't have to be this week, provided we survive.

[soulus]

I will take it into consideration if we survive.

[misstrust]

Then that's one.

You're certain you don't want to decide the last one?

[soulus]

Did I not say that the subject doesn't matter?

[misstrust]

Very well. Then, I shall now list my favorite things about Rufus Wilde, in no particular order.

[soulus]

. . . Are you being serious?

[misstrust]

I am. Will you let me begin?

[soulus]

. . . Do as you please.

[misstrust]

[ The brightest smile. ]

I believe I've already said you're attractive, though we won't linger on that and how I've had to defend that opinion from a multitude who think that you need to smile...

[ she flaps a hand. ]

But I have always admired your sensibility, your ability to keep calm and rational in most situations, your understated kindness and thoughtfulness that you choose not to loudly display, your reliability--

[ He did this. ]

[soulus]

[He makes a face. The more Dorothy speaks, the more pronounced Rufus' expression becomes. Who's wasting their breath on something like his need to smile?

Eventually he cuts her off.]

That's too much.

[misstrust]

[ Dorothy merely smiles at him. ]

I don't think so, but if you insist.

[soulus]

. . . I still have yet to recognize a song.
