WEEK SIX: MINGLE

[retellers]

WEEK SIX: MINGLE (25 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, Elsa, Yona, Shigeo, and Fiora'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. Once again, participants may find that they have difficulty recalling complete details of the past weeks. Also, anyone who had been poisoned during trial will still be feeling sick! Haha! Finally, participants will find that they are now sporting a new injury. This injury is one that they received in their past, whether they remember it or not. No matter how fatal the injury is, participants won't die from it, and the pain they feel will be dulled down. However, if another participant touches someone's injury effect, even if it's covered, then they will both be hit with whatever pain that was felt when the injury was first inflicted. This pain will last ten seconds. The injury can also be as minor or major as desired.

Really, it's alright. It was getting kind of annoying having the shorter section come free from the rest of it.

[ A glance back out of the corner of his eye, and - Hua Cheng is completely unconcerned about seeing Xie Lian pull out his fucking sword. He just watches him, turning his head forward again that bare amount that he peeked. ]

Still as water, gege. [ And..!

It cuts!

But not much of it. Whomp. ]

[dianxias]

[ there's a long pause. xie lian lifts the sword and stares at it. ]


...That's never happened before...

[ was this poorly made? maybe it needs to be sharpened? is he getting rusty?

or, maybe it just needs more force? hm. he takes one, two, three steps back. ]

Alright, here we go again. Hold very still!

[ and this time, he leaps into the air and delivers a downward slash with some gusto. it seems like he's enjoying himself. ]

[supremity]

[ Well at least Xie Lian is enjoying himself. Hua Cheng sits obediently, only moving briefly to pull out a bit of gauze to wipe at his face when he can feel blood dribbling out from the bandages and gauze under his eyepatch.

There's a wholeass gust at his back??

But he still doesn't move. He does sound amused, though. ]

I'm glad at least that gege is enjoying himself, but don't dull your blade on my account.

[ It cuts a little more than it did before, but still not as much as Xie Lian would expect. Like his hair is super resilient or something. ]

[dianxias]

San Lang, I'm the one who caused this in the first place!

[ that's not quite a whine, but! he is very insistent. ] I can't think of anything else that'll work faster, short of trying to burn it off or something, but, somehow, I don't like the odds of messing that up even a little bit.

[ while he's now sitting with this particularly spot of hair pulled over his lap, and just kind of sawing at it with his very sharp weapon. he will not be stopped by this the fact that he's still bleeding from his chest, which has been double wrapped and shoved under a shirt so maybe san lang won't notice.

anyway, a little bit despondently: ] ...It didn't say when it's supposed to wear off, either... I won't have you stuck like this forever because of me....

[ Xie Lian Fucks Up: The Life Story

he's going ham on your hair now. ]

[supremity]

You meant well, and it did fix the problem that our little trip caused with my hair.

[ He's not missing the huge chunk anymore! The ends aren't singed off from acid snowfall! It's fine. Hua Cheng really isn't that fussed about this, despite the inconvenience of it. ]

Really, gege, I don't think I'll be stuck. I think it's just going to take some cutting to do, and we'll have to work in sections. It's doable. None of what's been cut is growing back, as far as I can tell.

Maybe you should ask for a whetstone, though..?

[dianxias]

[ xie lian huffs. ]

It seems I'm always messing up your hair, somehow... I will ask.

[ time to cut forever. ] Ruoye, hold this section taught for me. [ at least he has an extra limb, sort of!! ruoye does as its told, stretching from xie lian's wrist to pull tension at hua cheng's new mountain of hair so he can cut with it like that, instead. ] San Lang, promise to tell me if I pull too hard...

[ HE FEELS SO BAD :( ]
