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.

[ i,,,

izumo really shouldn't be speaking right now but she sure is. ]

Are you going to say something actually useful?

[ WHO ARE THESE CHILDREN?? WHAT SHOULD THEY DO?? ]

[reconnective]

As long as she doesn't need her axe she should be fine...[rip to leonard and leonard only. he leans forward to tap on the crystal ball though.] Can't you use this thing to tell us their fate? And ours?

[WHAT KIND OF A FORTUNE TELLER ARE YOU.]

[robopriest]

[piping up from the feral peanut gallery]

Didn't I tell you she was a terrible lady? She's just speaking nonsense. It's not even good nonsense.

[retellers]

You know I'm doing this for free, right? You haven't paid me. You just came in and started insulting me right away? You are seriously everything that is fucking wrong with the tourist industry in this country, entitled as shit...

[ She looks at the crystal ball. ]

Whatever. Taako is about to betray Hilda over some weed I guess.

[sacredchants]

[ hmmm.

well if there's anything that izumo has learned since the last time she spoke to the ghosts is to stop while she's ahead. poor sora having to deal with the two of them and them being absolutely terrible.

...mostly hansa. ]

Would you be better at this if we paid you?

[ does anyone here have money?? ]

[reconnective]

[...he wordlessly reaches into his pocket and pulls out two pieces of gold to drop them on the table. there you go. payment.]

[robopriest]

[Blah blah blah blah. That's all Hansa is hearing right now. All that matters is this cat. Weed? Tourists? That's stuff for other people to deal with.]

[Though he does glance at Sora when he puts down the cash, and gives him a Look, raising an eyebrow.]

...Who did you steal those from?

[retellers]

[ She takes the gold. ]

He probably got it from the maze from last week. Got a shit ton of loot there.

[ Anyway, it's going into her bra. ]

There's something wrong with the kids, and that is your future.

[sacredchants]

[ ............


rip sora's money. also this is a rip off. ]

[reconnective]

...well, she's right. [shrug. but okay. give him a second to think.] No other glimpses of the future huh? We just have to deal with some kids before they turn into donkeys and possibly destroy our friends while they're dealing weed?

[what.]

[robopriest]

...

[NOW STARING AT SORA INCREDULOUSLY]

She didn't say anything about donkeys? What is wrong with you.

[retellers]

[ Yeah she. Didn't say anything about donkeys? She just looks at Sora. ]

[sacredchants]

[ izumo is also going to look at sora.


she feels.

so tired. ]

[reconnective]

[oh my god.]

It's happened before, stop looking at me like that!

[IT WAS NOT HIS CHOICE TO GO TO PRANKSTER'S PARADISE?]

[robopriest]

...What kind of carnivals are you going to where children turn into donkeys? Are these like a thing in your world?

[SORA??? SORA????????????]

[retellers]

Wow...

[ Hold on. She's digging for something under the table, and then puts a talisman on the table. ]

You should take this, Sora. For your donkeys.

[sacredchants]

[ izumo will close her eyes and take a breath.

of course it has.

she'll let sora explain himself to hansa as she goes for the talisman on the table. ]

Do we get one or is it just for him? Anything we should know about it in particular? You know, if there are any side effects.

[reconnective]

It's not my world, just one I've been to. Jiminy told me about it...boys who goofed off and didn't do what they were supposed to would turn into donkeys and be stuck that way. [he doesn't draw attention to the part where the fortune teller knows his name despite nobody saying it and not introducing himself. but he'll let izumo take the talisman and give it a once-over himself before he nods.]

Thank you. I appreciate it. How does it work? [even if it's just a phoney trinket he'll ask in all seriousness.]

[robopriest]

[You know, Hansa might have been able to understand that reference, but what do you know! He's a feral son of a bitch.]

Hmmph. Maybe they deserve to be donkeys.

[Kids get sent to the cursed donkey carnival for their sin.]

[retellers]

You'll just know when to use it. And just one is enough.

[ She glares at Hansa. ]

Yeah, okay, future CPS case. Keep saying things like that.

[sacredchants]

[ izumo will use her crutch to lightly smack hansa. ]

Knock it off. No one deserves to be transformed into anything unless they decided it from the beginning.

[reconnective]

Hansa! [NO. WE OBSERVE BEFORE DECIDING THEY SHOULD BE DONKEYS. but also he glances at izumo briefly before he shakes his head.]

Okay. Once is enough and we'll figure it out from there. [he bows his head to the fortune teller briefly.] Any other words of advice or future-tellings?

[robopriest]

Ow?

[Don't hit him? He's holding a cat??]

Ugh...yeah, I guess you're right. [Yeah, yeah, they're going to go save kids from donkey superhell or whatever. Fine.] Hey. Fortune lady. Just how many kids are we expecting that are donkeys?

[retellers]

Like, a lot? It's hurting business, because no one wants to go somewhere where there's a bunch of asses.

[ hmmmm ]

I'd think about the thing I said about weed.

[sacredchants]

[ ..... ]

So, we're supposed to take a bunch of weed from some kids to prevent them from becoming donkeys and this talisman is supposed to help us with all of that?
