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.

[ 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... ]

[discernments]

[ Oh? Oh??? Jeanne beams. She's so happy.

She won't say anything else to Clem, and she will just scale the ferris wheel down. It's fine. It'll be a little work because she's injured, but she's agile and does things like this on the daily back home? ]

I'm coming! Please don't stress it!

[ Jeanne doesn't know technology, but they'll fix it. ]

[cuedoves]

[ excuse me the speaker deserved it do not call him a karen also i was making a hilarious reference ]

-- Fine! But turn the music off!

[ time to check out the controls and be useful maybe ]

[retellers]

I CAN'T, YOU FUCKING BROKE IT.

[ thanks, zuko. anyway, they'll have to climb ALL the way down, and then jocelyn will gesture for them to go into a hidden trap door in the control room for the thing. that's normal. it looks like a dark basement. ]

Just go check it out. This is why I should only flirt with the girls, the guys are always batshit.

[stillnot]

[ it takes clementine longer than jeanne to climb down because twd likes to pretend it's more realistic than that. but it's not. also it's hard to hit all those climbing QTEs with a gunshot wound in her shoulder. but she makes it down and

is a little apprehensive of the trap door. ]

Is this a murder basement?

[discernments]

Girls are generally better than boys.

[ Jeanne confirms that easily.

Anyway, this dark basement looks very suspicious. ]

There's only one way to find out if it is.

[ Before either can protest, she goes in!

Bye, you two!!! ]

[cuedoves]

Uh. Sorry, I guess.

[ to jocelyn?? anyway she and jeanne are both right and zuko parkoured all the way down despite being exploded and is going with jeanne. ]

There's probably something horrible around the corner.

[retellers]

[ Don't worry, it's not around the corner! It's right downstairs!

There's a bunch of donkeys, some wearing clothes, tied to a wheel system. They are clearly meant to be going around in circles to pull the whole system. This seems like a terrible way to make a ferris wheel work. Which is probably why it's not, because some of the donkeys are just sitting on the ground and crying for their mother.

That's normal. ]

[stillnot]

[ clem follows the other two because at least they can get murdered together. only it isn't a murder time down there it's a donkey exploitation ring? ]

... Well, that's fucked up.

[ she's not going to make these sad crying donkeys make the ferris wheel spin???? ]

[discernments]

What?

[ Jeanne immediately goes to untie all the donkeys. ]

[cuedoves]

No kidding. [ zuko is helping untie them ]

[ zuko is now justified in causing property damage this ferris wheel is evil and uses donkey child labour ]

... Are you prisoners? Who did this to you?

[ to the donkeys ]

[retellers]

[ a lot of the donkeys collapse, exhausted, while others bray fearfully and try to find an exit, but apparently they're dumb as fuck and keep running for walls. One donkey with glasses however sniffles sadly ]

T'was Satan, sir, he offered us to have fun and we've been here since...!

[ did the kid fucking say satan ]

[stillnot]

[ s... satan???? look she's not going to talk to a donkey about satan. she turns to jeanne. ]

Maybe we could push this thing ourselves. Get everyone down off the ferris wheel. Then... Do something about them...?

[ what do you do about sad slave donkey children. ]

[discernments]

[ wow did this kid say satan?

Jeanne goes to the one with glasses, almost hyper-focused. ]

What did this Satan look like and where did you meet him?

[ She is going to find him and exterminate him. ]

We need to lead them all out and free them somewhere. I don't know if there have been other donkeys or children trapped somewhere. If you want to try and move the ferris wheel, so the people on the ride can get down, you may, but my focus is now on Satan.

[retellers]

[ i forgot sipp went to bed i got the notifs for this one. anyway. the sad donkey brays ]

He looked different for all of us, miss. He gave us all a ride here and told us to have fun, and now we're... we're... [ it bursts into tears? ] JACKASSES!!!

[ this sad donkey boy is sobbing. all the other donkeys are sobbing. the sad donkey boy adds: ]

And only some of us deserve it.

[stillnot]

None of you deserve it.

[ sad?? anyway, she'll go along with whatever jeanne thinks is best, here. she doesn't want to push this thing herself. ]

No, let's go deal with the bad guy first. Everyone trapped in the ferris wheel can just sit there for a while.

[discernments]

What a terrible man. How unsurprising. None of you are what he said you are.

It will be all right. I will make sure of it.

[ She sounds so very reassuring. ]

Please follow me.

[ THEY'RE GOING UP AND OUT AND FINDING SATAN. ]

[retellers]

[ the donkeys will follow up and out of here, grateful! although, to clem, the little glasses monkey will say: ]

You only say that because you haven't met Kevin.

[stillnot]

[ you can't just say that and not explain so she. raises an eyebrow at the donkey who is not a monkey. ]

... What'd Kevin do?
