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.

[

this is all so much. at least usagi dutifully listens to everyone, nods appropriately and takes as many notes as she can for chiron-san? maybe he'll make heads or tails of any of this ]

Chiron-san..... I think they're all blaming the wrong person..?

[ her eyes are starting to cross trying to figure this out ]

[antaressnipe]

[After gently patting Inogo on the back in order to console him and then talking to the rest of the group, Chiron gets his notes together and...

God I hate that I wrote NOTES FOR THIS and this is the result:

Oscar blames Peggy.

Peggy blames Fred.

Fred blames Harry.

Harry blames ???

Carl does not care and is valid is unconcerned.

Penelope blames Peter.

Peter blames Inigo.

Inogo blames ???

... And after looking at this and examining the evidence, he glances up, deadeyed at the group.]

Well, there are two current theories I have, Miss Usagi.

Either they are all telling the truth, and thus each of them have likely "borrowed" an item from one another when the others were not looking...

...

Or they all just misplaced their items and are simply too stubborn to admit as such.

[B| YE WITHOUT SIN, CAST THE FIRST STONE]

[retellers]

[ They all start talking at the same time again, saying very rude words. Penelope throws a pretzel down in disgust at this accusation that she's stubborn. Carl's phone lights up, and he looks excited for a moment, but then the light leaves his eyes at once.

Oscar speaks up. ]

We should have a trial, and vote for whoever is guilty!

[moondumplings]

[ even usagi's starting to wish for lightning to strike them all at this point. why are you all like this. ]

Chiron-san...................

[ what do we do ]

[antaressnipe]

... Very well.

[Smiling at them all.

He casually reaches for his bow and an arrow]

Let us have the trial, if you wish.

I will personally remove the guilty from the Realm, yes?

[retellers]

[ Peggy whispers to whoever is closest to her in the next stall. ]

What's a Realm? Did they rename the boardwalk?

[ But they look around. ]

Tell us who's guilty.

[moondumplings]

[ puts a hand on her forehead ]

Oh goodness...

[ looking at this list Chiron-san put together, Usagi points to the circular effect of some of these names. ]

Not everyone is getting blamed and blaming someone...?

[ is this A Clue? ]

[antaressnipe]

Hm. Then we will interrogate them before my patience runs thin.

[They're not real and a horse (???!!) is slowly running out of shits to give]

Harry, Inogo, and Carl -- whom do you three blame for your problems, if anyone?

[retellers]

[ Harry points at Carl. Inogo points at Peggy.

Carl shrugs. ]

I don't know, Satan?

[moondumplings]

[ usagi, not entirely familiar with chrisitan mythos immediately looks around for this mysterious other person.

where's Satan-san? ]

[antaressnipe]

[... Me trying to decide if Chiron knows who Satan is with his extreme memory loss, then I rolled a d20 and it gave him a 6.

:)]

Whoever this Satan is, they are currently unavailable, Carl, and your lack of enthusiasm makes you rather suspicious despite Peggy having been voted for twice.

[Is Chiron pulling this out of his horse ass? Does he believe what he's preaching? Is this Marie shitposting before she goes to bed?

Well, whatever the case, an arrow is being fitted into the bow]

State your case carefully, elsewise you might be declared the guilty party.

[retellers]

[ Carl looks up from his phone. ]

You know what? Maybe you two are the ones doing this. You sure did stroll in here like you owned the place, and-- oh.

[ His phone lights up. He looks back down, looking excited, and then immediately deflating. ]

Anyway. You probably stole the ketchup.

[ everyone starts whispering loudly, which is a normal talking volume. ]

[moondumplings]

[ carl, pls. that persons just not into you ]

But I don't like ketchup.

[ clearly, this is the important part here. ]

I just wanted a snack, everyone..... But, I also want to help if you were having problems.

[ look at her big shoujo eyes...... aren't you feeling guilty yet? ]

[retellers]

Then go find Satan.

[ Carl looks back at his phone.

Fred speaks up, ]

I think Carl did it now!

[moondumplings]

[ honestly, carl is being so shady usagi really is gonna name him prime suspect at this point. ]

Carl-san, you are being very unhelpful!

[ she's got her hands on her hips now, puffing her cheeks so you know she's serious now ]

Satan-san is not here for questioning but you are. The quicker you help, the faster we can all go!

[retellers]

[ Fred, from the back: ]

Fuck you, Carl!

[ Carl glares. ]

We can't go anywhere, our shifts aren't done yet!

[moondumplings]

[ she stomps her foot ]

Fred-san if you could please not help!

[ she's getting tired of your shit, Fred ]

Carl-san. The truth, please.

[ or she'll get Chiron-san to put an arrow through his phone. ]

[retellers]

[ Carl looks at the clock. Why can't he go home yet. ]

I told you! It's Satan!

[moondumplings]

[ the clock has started crawling slowly because he wants out ]

Well, go find him for us then!

[retellers]

I can't leave this stand! I'm on the clock! Do you want to get me fired? Are you going to pay for my cell phone bill? No. You're not. You go find Satan.

[moondumplings]

I don't know what they look like....! If I stand here for you, will that be alright? There's no one else here waiting to order food, so go!

[ she starts making shooing motions at him. there's a strong threat he's gonna get whacked in the kneecaps in about 3 seconds if he doesn't comply ]

No one will complain will they?! [ she puffs her cheeks at the rest of the npcs. don't you dare breath a word!! ] So get moving!

[retellers]

[ ...

Carl is just going to walk away from the stand.






He's not coming back he's free. ]

[moondumplings]

[ 30 minutes later of stress snacking later : ]

I should have sent Chiron-san with him.

[retellers]

[ The other NPCs are now welcoming Usagi as one of them. Soon, Harry is going to accuse her of stealing his ketchup again. ]
