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.

Are you of the opinion animals wouldn't like to visit the beach, Soo-won? Maybe they are... party animals.

[Dad jokes?

As he follows Soo-won on in for the petting zoo. What kind of animals they got in here? Hope it's something dumb.]

[retellers]

[ It's donkeys. Only donkeys. Donkeys in hats!

They recognize Soo-won, their brethren, so they begin to head towards him and him alone. ]

[recrowns]

[soo-won looks at blanca in confusion.

what did that mean.

but also he looks pleased with the donkeys come over! wow!]

Oh? Are we friends now?

[he's going to reach out to pet them....]

I like your hats....

[papasha]

[Hm. Well, he has no donkeys, or donkeys in hats, he's been snubbed. So he just stands slightly behind Soo-won and

watches?]

I didn't know you were the donkey whisperer.

[retellers]

[ I don't know if there's any, like, fencing in this zoo, but if there is, a single donkey with a hat held between its teeth jumps over, places the hat on Soo-won's head, kidnaps him (somehow), and begins running off with him. ]

[recrowns]

[oh shit

soo-won will - actually reach up to make sure that the hat doesn't fall off? this was a nice gift. is he on the donkey's back? please explain. if he is, he will also try to make sure he's not falling off

is this how shigeo felt all those weeks ago, he wonders]

Where are we going?

[papasha]

[i?

The fuck is happening here? A donkey napping.]

Soo-won?!

[Well, he would try to see if one of the donkeys would humor him into riding, but he doesn't trust the donkey no to trot along. So unfortunately, Blanca is a stupid jock, and he starts booking it after Soo-won.

Like on foot. He's decently fast? It's probably because he's so big and has long legs, idk.]

[retellers]

[ Soo-won is on its back, yeah. The donkey answers via making donkey noises.

As for where they're going... that's a good question! To be honest, it's not like the petting zoo is that big, so they're probably just, like. Going to the other end of the zoo. However, donkeys crowd around Blanca, as if blocking him from going any further. ]

[recrowns]

[that seems really inconvenient for blanca. anyway he's pretty unconcerned despite being kidnapped so.

soo-won is just going to try to bring his hand up to his mouth and try to emit a loud whistle to get the other donkeys' attention!]

Please let him pass!

[papasha]

Ah--excuse me.

[Damn. Please let him do his perceived duty of saving Soo-won?! He will... try to gently nudge said donkeys out of the way, or squeeze by them if he can, but if they don't move for him or Soo-won's whistle and request then.

My next tag will unfortunately be throat-punching donkeys.]

Pardon me. If you could return Soo-won to me, I would be more than grateful.

[retellers]

[ The donkeys do not pay any attention to Soo-won's whistle. However, once he's at the end of the zoo, away from Blanca, the donkey places him on the ground. Except it can't really do that, so I guess it's more like the donkey abrupt slumps to the side and onto the ground so it can dump Soo-won in the process. Unfortunately, many donkeys still block the way between him and Blanca.

Blanca starts throat-punching donkeys, because he's a horrible man. One donkey, whom he is not throat-punching, looks horrified and writes something in the dirt with a hoof. ]

we don't know a soo-won

[recrowns]

[oh! well i guess he's back on the ground now, though he at least manages to land on his feet rather than on his ass. he'll reach out to pat the donkey that kidnapped him....]

Thank you for the ride?

[i can't believe these donkeys are literate but that's blanca's problem]

[riegan]

(Shows up late with whatever the boardwalk equivalent of Starbucks is. A snow cone?? One of those large lemonades??? Anyway

I cannot believe Claude is showing up late just in time to see Blanca throat punch a donkey.)

What are you doing?

(WHY DOES HE FEEL LIKE HE MISSED SOMETHING WHAT IS HAPPENING like a whole kidnapping???)

[papasha]

[Look, LOOK. He only throat punches one, and then he looks both surprised by the literacy and Claude's appearance.]

--my apologies. One of them has ran off with Soo-won, and the rest won't let me pass.

[DONKEYS, PLEASE.]

Soo-won, the young man you just absconded with. That's his name. Let me pass. He is a friend.

[retellers]

[ The donkey who carried Soo-won here nods. Another donkey wanders by and nudges a toy ball in Soo-won's direction, or something. Look, they don't have much to entertain themselves with here.

As Claude come along, a donkey reaches over to eat whatever he brought with him. The donkey writing to Blanca brushes over the dirt, before writing another message. ]

oh him well you punched bobson so we can't invite you now

[recrowns]

[these donkeys are so nice. soo-won is just going to accept the toy ball then, nudging it with his own feet as he backs up a fair distance but only enough to - ]

Come, let's play.

[initiate a game of soccer with these donkeys, i guess. he'll try to kick it up into the air in the direction of one of them

he's sure blanca's got his situation handled]

[riegan]

(Im going to say Claude brought one of those giant cotton candies or something and he'll take off a piece and start feeding the llama? It's cool it's fine he loves animals ok but uh)

Is anyone worried that they can write?

(...)

You guys aren't cursed are you?

(THERE WAS A CURSED LLAMA EARLIER?)

[papasha]

[Hopefully they are cursed, and Blanca just punched a child. Why--don't just give name and identity to the donkey he punched!]

I would be more worried if I hadn't just spent almost six weeks in this place.

[He glances from Soo-won in the very far distance... playing soccer like isn't a big deal, to Claude who is feeding one of the donkeys. Why.]

You all could have simply made a request instead of kidnapping.

[retellers]

[ Soo-won is playing soccer with the donkeys now. One of the donkeys headbutts it and sends it flying back at Soo-won.

The donkey appreciates Claude feeding it cotton candy, while the other donkey continues writing. ]

wow you're the kind of guy who doesn't go anywhere unless you receive a 2 page email explaining why your presence is required aren't you

[recrowns]

[look at least he's not in some terrible danger? it's time to just play games with the donkeys. he will continue to kick the ball back and forth with them]

Did you just want to play? What if we invited our other friends too?

[let blanca and claude play soccer]

[riegan]

( He’s fine he’s feeding a donkey sugar? )

Right, I’m sure we can all get along and have a good time. We can even have teams.

... Blanca can protect the goal since he wants to use his hands so much.

( Is there football in Fódlan idk )

[papasha]

It's only slightly better than the kinds of donkeys who can't figure out how to pass the time.

[He smiles politely.]

I would, but they have to let me pass first.

[He says "me" since he assumes they will probably allow Claude to join Soo-won more than likely.]

[retellers]

[ As Soo-won plays soccer, another donkey will write a message for him. ]

no that one is a filthy throat puncher

[ No Blancas allowed!

As Claude gives one donkey a sugar high, the donkeys begin to nudge Blanca away. :/ ]

[recrowns]

[oh no]

Blanca, did you say sorry for being a - ah, 'filthy throat puncher'?

[riegan]

(Please, let Claude through.)

Apologize to... who was it again? Bob's son?

(DID HE READ THAT RIGHT? Look, he'd literally just arrived and was taking everything in. )
