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.

[ Jeanne thinks, maybe it'd have been better if she had burned than to have gone through that (that's a lie).

She just gives Zuko a Look before she gets onto the ferris wheel. ]

Because I'd like to know.

[ Jeanne is going to give Clem the ticket with the number on it. It's Clem's now. ]

Am I not allowed to know?

[ She is trying her best to ignore afro circus. ]

[cuedoves]

[ zuko just stays silent with shame but frankly this is jeanne's fault for asking for his help in the first place. ]

[ he is curious about clem's deets but is staying quiet so he doesn't get in trouble. also ignoring afro circus. ]

[retellers]

[ this is the world's slowest ferris wheel ride with the loudest possible DADADADADA AFRO CIRCUS in the background.

anyway, as expected of the ferris wheel, it stops for a bit when they're at the top so they can take in the view! Wow! They can see the whole carnival from here! Donkeys... Emet failing to shoot ducks... a child crying next to the pool hall... a food stall fight of some sort.

It's a beautiful day.

Anyway how long is the ride supposed to stay up there. ]

[stillnot]

[ clem takes the ticket for some reason? reflex? SHE DOESN'T WANT THIS???

clem is too busy being annoyed at the music and wondering if she is supposed to have a real answer to 'am i not allowed to know' to notice that they've been up here an abnormally long time... and she can't enjoy the view in this mood! but she is looking down on everyone else's adventures. haha. ]

... Let's just focus on figuring out what we're supposed to do, here.

[discernments]

[ It's a souvenir, Clem.

Jeanne watches everyone be hot messes, especially Emet failing to duck some fucks. ]

You didn't answer my question, but I think we've been here longer than we should. I can climb out and see if there's anything making us stuck.

[ Or they can just stay up here forever? Whichever. ]

Zuko, you've been a bit quiet. Is something wrong?

[ As if she didn't just give him a Look moments earlier. ]

[cuedoves]

I don't want you two to yell at me.

[ wow everyone sucks... ]

I can go to the top and... uh... see if there's anything we missed?

[ he may or may not be trying to escape girls ]

[retellers]

[ the ferris wheel continues to not budge an inch. this is normal. you guys should keep gossiping about who clem is dating.

DADADADA AFRO CIRCUS play in full, though. on loop. ]

[stillnot]

No one is going to yell at you.

[ ... clementine would normally yell at him. but more because climbing out of the gondola is a stupid idea than any other reason. luckily she's ready to do anything to escape the combination of this song and the gossiping.

so she pockets the ticket and tries to wrench open the door to the gondola. ]

Maybe we can just climb back down.

[discernments]

I'm not going to yell at you, Zuko, but I trust you to be careful when you check. If you get injured doing it, I'll be very cross with you.

[ Has anyone seen Jeanne be truly angry at anyone yet?

And because the mod tag text says to

Jeanne puts a hand on Clem's arm. ]

Not so fast, Clementine. You have to pay the toll to leave. Were you simply saying you're dating, or are you truly dating someone?

[cuedoves]

[ he hates the afro circus as much as everyone ] I meant about asking about your personal stuff!

[ anyway he's doing to start climbing out of the gondola.... just in earshot of clem's deets. ]

[retellers]

[ Zuko starts to climb out of the gondola. It does not move! Everything is standing very still. The teenage worker can be seen from very far away currently being very busy reading fanfics on her phone. AO3 is brimming with destiel and she has to read that Four Seasons Landscape fanfic where Cas owns the porn store.

Anyway, there are people in the other gondolas who are weak cowards crying for help and to get them down. This is one of those huge ferris wheels too so if Zuko insists on climbing down, it might take a second. ]

[stillnot]

[ clem rolls her eyes, but doesn't shrug jeanne off and just. waits for jeanne to get bored of this? ]

I'm not paying a toll, that's fucking stupid.

[discernments]

[ Clem is so funny that she thinks Jeanne can be bored when she's someone who thinks everyday life is wonderful and fulfilling.

So funny. ]

Let's not call it a toll, then. Let's call it me wanting to know you better because I care about out since that's more true than a toll.

[ She cares about your life, Clem!! ]

Zuko, do you see anything?

[ She can multitask wow. ]

[cuedoves]

Everyone's stuck and calling for help. I see that worker... she's looking at something? Anyway, not much else. We might have to rescue other people.

[ ok mods this is very important can zuko tell where the music is coming from. can he destroy the source. ]

[retellers]

[ It is a speaker right in the middle of the wheel. For convenience, of course. Though it'll be difficult to rescue people from the ferris wheel when they can't ninja climb out and I am pretty sure all three of them are not strong enough to carry a family of three while climbing.

clem tell jeanne who you're dating ]

[stillnot]

It's... Probably pretty obvious?

[ it's not like she particularly wants to keep it a secret, she's just not sure if it's rude to say without permission...?

and, to zuko: ]

We'll rescue them by getting this thing moving again.

[discernments]

You can answer me while we save everyone. I'd prefer to hear it from you rather than speculate.

[ She is getting out! She is not letting this drop!

Answer your local saint (please don't call her a saint)! ]

If we had phones, we could call that girl, but...

[ Time to go on a life-saving ferris wheel ride with Zuko? ]

I suppose we'll have to do this the old-fashioned way. Where are you heading first, Zuko?

[cuedoves]

.. You and Sora seem pretty close.

[ says zuko, the only comment he will make on this situation. ]

There's something I need to do first. It's for the greater good.

[ says zuko, solemnly... before he stabs the speaker. ]

[retellers]

[ the speaker is not defeated by a mere stab. it does change it to a remix version though. somehow.

anyway, Jocelyn, named in another thread, looks up when she hears the song change and groans in annoyance before screaming up at there: ]

GET BACK IN YOUR SEAT, YOU GUYS AREN'T CUTE ENOUGH TO MAKE GETTING WRITTEN UP AGAIN WORTH IT.

[stillnot]

[ clem just. nods. at zuko's guess.

............. and when the music changes she finally jerks away from jeanne, but only so she can lean out of the gondola to yell down at jocelyn ]

Then fucking do something! We're stuck up here!

[discernments]

[ Is that confirmation?

Jeanne doesn't flinch at the remix. It's fine? She's zen about the terrible music. ]

We'll get back in only if you promise to get the ride moving again!

1/2

[cuedoves]

Oh... Congratulations. Sora's a good one.

[ to clem!!! ]

[cuedoves]

[ then he rounds back on karen that bit i mean jocelyn that thot. ]

Get us moving or I'll destroy this!

[ pointing swords threateningly at the speaker. even though it stabbing it did not stop this horrible music. whatever, he will defeat it ]

[retellers]

[ jocelyn literally groans so loudly they hear her, and flips off zuko. she will get written up for it and she doesn't care. ]

IT'S PROBABLY THE WHOLE THING ACTING UP AGAIN. UGH. I HATE THAT THING, IT'S SO FUCKING WEIRD. IF YOU GUYS GET DOWN AND GO CHECK IT OUT FOR ME I WON'T CALL SECURITY AND GET YOU ARRESTED FOR DESTROYING PRIVATE PROPERTY!

[ jocelyn is tired and zuko is the karen, here. he stabbed a fair ride. ]

[stillnot]

[ she gives another awkward nod in zuko's direction. she knows. ]

... Alright. Lets do that, then.

[ well. at least they have a clear goal? clementine shrugs and starts climbing out of the gondola so she can. try and slowly, carefully, make her way down... ]
