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.

[ well ochako doesn't speak llama!! ]

Um... You okay there, big guy...?

[ she is not approaching. she is very confused, and now a little concerned. ]

[antaressnipe]

[... Because it's Ochako, the llama actually considers nodding its head so it doesn't worry her--

But uh,

it's a llama

the llama shakes its head no]

[infreefall]

[ now she is a LOT concerned. who was mean to this llama!! it's just a llama!! it probably doesn't deserve to be bullied, even if it does turn up randomly in a teenaged girl's bedroom!

she will. cautiously approach. ]

Are you... lost? There's a petting zoo - do you need help finding your way back there?

[antaressnipe]

[NO DON'T LOCK IT IN THE PETTING ZOO

(-- is it a petting zoo animal? there are... very few memories left to contest this and for a moment, the llama stares out into the abyss, uncertain...)

But no, after a brief BSOD moment, the llama is going to vigorously shake its head]

[infreefall]

O-Okay, okay, not the petting zoo!

[ what is she supposed to do with a llama. what is happening?? ]

I don't think a beach is the best place for a llama, though...

[antaressnipe]

[Indeed it is not. The sun is hot and the idea of getting in the water for any reason is even more aversive.

... But y'know what, this llama has an idea. Because it's gonna

leave

just take off at 40 mph because that's actually how fast these hairy abominations can run

and when it returns, it has a flower in its mouth, hm.

which it will place in front of Ochako]

[infreefall]

[ WHY DOES THIS LLAMA KEEP RUNNING FROM HER.

he's lucky she's still here except apparently llamas are little speed demons, what the fuck.

...and why does it have a flower? this is not helping anything. did it just want to be nice? is this an apology? what?? ]

Um. Thanks?

[ slowly... picking up... this llama's flower... ]

[antaressnipe]

[... The llama is so disappointed that didn't work. maybe it should have been more selective in the type of flower it brought her back...

Also i'm a fool, forgot to mention it's a yellow linden flower MAYBE THAT WILL HELP, neither I nor the llama know]

[infreefall]

[ give her a second, she is not the smartest girl around.

but when it clicks, she gasps. ]

Archer-san?!

[antaressnipe]

[-- SHE GOT IT.

Immediately going up to nuzzle her hand]

[infreefall]

If it's you, then why'd you run away this morning?

[ he can't answer that, ochako, he is a llama ]

...Nevermind. That new rule's going to make this week even weirder than usual.

[antaressnipe]

[Being a llama spooked him.

... But yeah, he can't answer that and will instead hang his head while nodding. This week is going to be

hellish]

[infreefall]

[ oh no she made him sad ]

Well, um - maybe this won't last all week! Some of the effects don't, right? This has to be one of the shorter ones!

[ please god let it be one of the shorter effects ]

[antaressnipe]

[Chiron will yeet himself off something tall if it's not one of the shorter ones

because I yearn for his death but this game keeps pushing him to embrace an eternal dirt nap.

But he can't have his daughter thinking he's a sad sack (even if he is this one time) and so he will bring his head back up, trying to reorient himself. It's fine, he's fine! She knows who he is and so will gently headbutt her

partly in apology for scaring her this morning]

[infreefall]

[ oh! she allows this, and pats him... where she can reach, i guess? he's a tall llama, probably. ]

It's okay. We'll figure it out. Maybe we can make you some signs so you can talk to people? Just basic stuff like - your name, yes, no? Hm, what other things would you need...

[antaressnipe]

[Someone please get Chiron a collar and a tag, I'm begging.

And yes, because he's still easily six feet even in llama form, he will bend down so she can pat. of all the things to be upset by, being cuddled like an animal is not on the list.

He gives a nod at the mention of a sign, at least, and... hm. what else would he need.

honestly he'll have to eat at some point... and conveys this by nibbling gently on her sleeve?

Food. feed him. feed your dad]

[infreefall]

...Oh! Are you hungry? We can make a card for that, too.

[ there's one small problem with that, though. ]

What... do llamas eat? Grass? Hay?
