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.

Four whole calamities sounds like a lot for one person...

[ top 50% percentile of calamities, wow ]

Oh, but I suppose you are a god.

[dianxias]

That's not even counting the "Three Tumors". Or, any of my own misfortunes - I'm something of a "calamity" in my own right.

[ xie lian laughs. ] It is a title for the most powerful ghosts in our realm, typically. The levels of their strength correspond to different rankings - "fierce", "severe", "wrath", and then... "devastation, calamity or supreme", depending on who you talk to.

The final category is the most rare -- there are only three in all known existence, one of whom you know quite well.

[horologia]

That's... quite a grand title. Hmm, maybe I shouldn't be considered a calamity after all, if they are so uniquely rare and powerful...

[ hm what to demote herself to ]

Tumors?

[dianxias]

Mm. They're called that for their personalities, supposedly, because they only get along with each other. Personally, I thought the rumors would be that the three tumors were "Xie Lian, Xie Lian and Xie Lian..."

[ hahaha....

anyway. ] At any rate, I think that's enough degrading ourselves. If you are a calamity, then my favorite person is a calamity, so I think that title will suit you fine.

[horologia]

Mm...

[ it sounds like there was something she might have said here, might have wanted to say, but then decided against- she's not really hiding it at all. whatever it was goes unvoiced in the end as she ends up giving him another smile.

even if it does look a little forced. ]

Comparisons aside, calamity isn't really inaccurate a descriptor, I think. Just ... one that might be a little too much.

Tumors though, I'm not sure how that reasoning relates at all.

[dianxias]

I'm not either.

[ xie lian taps his chin, thoughtfully - he's not missing out on homura's expression, there, though he doesn't draw immediate attention to it. ]

...Well, then, perhaps we can come up with one ourselves. A unique classification for the both of us, since I too have calamitous tendencies, but am most certainly not a Calamity. What do you say?

[horologia]

Interesting. A new classification that somehow includes the both of us?

[ her tone makes it pretty clear how dubious she is about putting herself and xie lian, a literal god, in the same breath. metaphorical squinting.

but it's not a no. ]
