WEEK SIX: MINGLE

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, here they are at the food stalls. Usagi's finally in a munchy mood with all that blood loss and she's ready to Eat.

were they supposed to be doing something else? who knows! ]

Hm............where to start today?

... "Today"?

[Sending her a mildly curious glance, though while she stares at the food, he's glancing at their more general surroundings. It's fine, he isn't actually bleeding, ha ha, he can afford to be thorough while Usagi snacks.]

[ As they approach the stalls, they'll notice that the atmosphere here is... unusually tense? All of the workers seem to be glaring at each other a lot.

The ones closes to them are the popcorn, cotton candy, and hot dog stalls. ]

Mm! I've been trying a little of the stalls per day! That way there's always something new.

[ bless usagi who just ignores the atmosphere and breezes in, smiling at the stall owners like it's a beautiful day. ]

One cotton candy, please!

[Meanwhile all Chiron can see is potential conflict and his smile turns dim with exhaustion.

He'll head to the popcorn stall and with a polite bow of his head]

One for me, if you would.

... Is everything alright?

[ The people from the other stalls just glare at the two of them, like they want them dead, which honestly? Valid. Fuck customers.

The teen running the cotton candy one just hands it to Usagi wordlessly. His shift ends in an hour.

Meanwhile, the lady running the popcorn one, pauses as she fills the bag. ]

Ugh. You know how it is.

[ No he doesn't, that's why he asked. ]

[ they're so valid. Usagi thinks they all deserve a raise ]

Thank you...!!

[ time to rejoin Chiron-san and peer around him ]

Is Owner-san having a difficult time?

[Chiron is figuring out very quickly you don't get to have self-esteem when you're not sure why you have hooves and so the glares have him backing up a half-step.

It's because he's got a horse butt, isn't it?]

I'm not entirely sure...

[picking at his popcorn before he just hands it off to Usagi]

Is there anything we might be able to help you with, ma'am...?

[ She sighs dramatically, while the teen Usagi left glares in their direction. Is it because Chiron is a horse? Who's to say.

Anyway, she's sighing. ]

I think Fred over there stole my bags.

[ Someone over in the funnel cakes stall flips them off. That's probably Fred. ]

[ she holds out out the cotton candy to chiron while turning to glance at the alleged Fred. watch her frown mightily at him for the rude gesture.

the effect is ruined by her also shoving popcorn in her mouth at the same time though ]

How rude...!

That is a serious allegation to make...

[Glancing between all of the food venues]

But you are not certain...? And it does not appear that, uh "Fred" shares your sentiments.

[Hey Fred, the floor is yours to speak your grievances. Chiron is high judge, Usagi the bailiff, and court is in session.]

[ From his stall, Fred calls out, ]

Say that to my fucking face, Peggy!

[ Peggy, the popcorn stall vendor, rolls her eyes. ]

He doesn't need bags for his funnel cakes. And at the same time mine started disappearing, he started getting some. What am I supposed to do? Pour popcorn into your hands?

[ you’re scandalizing this poor bun with your terrible manners, Fred. definitely not winning any points with her by it. ]

But why would Fred-san want them then....?

[ can she wander over and get a funnel cake ~~as a snack~~ as evidence for the court record....? ]

Mm... a valid question, Miss Usagi.

[Usagi is clearly scandalized and the only way to come out of it is by the assistance of food

Go eat that funnel cake with his blessing, bun bun... and maybe check to see if you get your food with a bag or something.

Though during all of this, Chiron will call out to whoever else is manning stalls]

And the rest of you? Have you suddenly found yourselves short on supplies?

[ Fred will give her a funnel cake. He does not give her a bag, but he's also looking rather pointedly at the group as he does this. He knows you're watching.

Everyone all start talking all at the same time at his question, so it's hard to tell what's being said. ]

Thank you!

[ he at least gets a bubbly smile for complying.

meanwhile, oh jeez chiron absolutely poked the hornets nest of markets, huh? ]

Chiron-san I don’t know if we’ll be able to help all of them.......

[ she’ll just scooch herself closer to his side and nervously chew on a piece of funnel cake. would you like a piece too?? ]

[Sorry, Usagi. The horse is watching his diet and also pressing a hand to his forehead like he regrets every decision that brought him here]

Perhaps not, but I can only assume we are meant to try in some way?

[They're supposed to... fix something. Get a magic item. Lord, he doesn't know. He's just a horse.

Addressing the crowd again, voice a bit sterner]

I cannot hear every single of you if you talk over each other-- Please, one at a time.

[ They all stop talking at once, but mostly so they can all just glare at each other angrily. The hostility here... is intense.

Harry the hot dog guy raises his hand. ]

Like... I had, this bottle of ketchup, for my wieners, but it's... just... and now I only have mustard. It's messed up, man. Where is my ketchup?

[ A voice calls out in the distance, ]

People like relish, you asshole!

[ good thing usagi has shoujo metabolism, huh? can't wait for her to find out it was nulled while here ]

All options are good!

[ she's still mostly just peeking out behind Chiron but that sure is a stern look on her face. ]

What if someone is allergic to one but not the other...? How terrible... Imagine having to eat a plain hot dog....... Who would do such a thing??

[ SPEAK UP CONDIMENT THIEF ]

-- I will trust your judgment Miss Usagi and assume you are not referring to ... actual dogs.

[Anyway, Chiron is just Usagi's bouncer now, ready to throw down if anyone dares glare back at her

"Marie wasn't this supposed to be a court room" bouncer horse.]

... Let me pose a potential solution to everyone -- in order to track down the missing items, all food stalls must submit to our examinations, in order to be fair.

[ There is some disgruntled murmuring... and then they all nod their head slowly. ]

Fiiiiiine.

[ wow look at Chiron-san go. she blinks a little that it worked so well and pops another piece of cake in her mouth. om nom. ]

... Should we each go down a side and meet at the end?

[ she's ready to Take Notes and Get Answers! yeah! get ready to be blinded by shoujo, stall owners ]

[No one is more excited this worked than Chiron and he even turns to Usagi with a little tail wag.

Wow it's like he's good at wrangling people like they are his children. Maybe a teacher-type? A dad-type? ... Nah.]

Yes, I agree. I will take the left side, Miss Usagi. Let us check thoroughly and then compile our notes at the end.

[SO WHICH BINCHES DOES CHIRON GET TO CHECK]

[ Chiron gets... cotton candy, pretzels, hot dogs, ice cream.

Usagi gets... popcorn, fried oreos, pizza, funnel cakes.

Let's roll, folks. ]

[ HELL YEAH, HELL YEAH.

Usagi immediately nyooms for Peggy-san, gushing about how good her popcorn is and making sure that she's all set outside of her missing bags. Fried Oreo's and Pizza-san's gets samples ~~tasted~~ collected for evidence gathering while Fred-san gets a bit of a stink eye for being difficult earlier. But she's here to tell him she really enjoyed the cake anyways...! and find out what he's missing too I guess. ]
