WEEK SEVEN: MINGLE
(21 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.

As usual, the participants will find that their lodgings have changed, and should anyone check their PHS, Chiron, Ochako, Soo-won, and Dorothy's profiles have been removed. They may also find that they have difficulty recalling complete details of the past weeks.

Furthermore, it looks as though the rules have updated.

Not everything is the same as the previous pattern, though. The barrier to the north is back up, and once more, what lies beyond is an empty field. In contrast, however, participants may notice that they can finally access a place they haven't been able to before...

Additionally, it looks like the Leaders aren't around. No matter where the participants look, they're nowhere to be found. Should anyone try calling for them in the Planetarium, there will be no response—not even a message telling the participant that they're busy.

Finally, everything around the participants begins to... glitch? Buildings may suddenly blink out of existence and then back in, random items like chairs or cups may suddenly distort even while they're being used, and looking at any particular thing for too long may give someone a headache. It's worse than it was that one week, though: participants will find that it's happening to themselves as well. Body parts might suddenly glitch out of existence then back in, and there will be a shot of pain when it occurs. It'll happen randomly, but it also seems to occur more often if they're touching something or another person.

Hello... hello?

[ Hopefully, you've been exploring the castle! Because in the lobby, near the entrance, a... thing? is drifting around in the air. It also sure sounds like Goat. ]

Please come here…!

[ Please gather around, children. ]

The Leaders are lost... I am doing what I can, using my powers, to communicate with you, but—ergh—I may not be able to do this for long... You must hurry.

Those who have been removed should be heading back to this side, but they may not be able to return without us... if you are willing, can you come and find us?

Head to the basement… There should be...

[ It looks like he's about to say more, when— ]

[ He just kind of

explodes?

And then he disappears. Goodbye, you're all on your own again.

However, if the participants listen to his instructions and head to the castle basement, they will find a portal. Step through?

OOCly:

From here, we will be running 6 mini-CYOAs, so please OOCly organize yourselves into 6 groups of 3-4! However, note that these must be completed before Friday, at 6pm EST. If you don’t think you’ll be able to coordinate with others’ schedules and/or tag consistently, you can instead form a 7th group of no size limit, and we will give you a task that’s less time intensive/doesn’t have a set “completion” that has to be done before the deadline!

Once you’ve decided on your group, please respond to this comment with your group members. ]
