WEEK SEVEN: MINGLE

[retellers]

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.

[They're back? They're back. Sumire is stumbling through the portal, looking very much like she's both in need a hundred year nap and extremely frazzled. It's fine.

She blearily blinks at everyone.]

... Oh!

[A beat.

And then she starts tearing up, smiling.]

Hello, everyone! Oh, no.

[uhhhmagic]

[MOVE IM GAY]

Greg!

[siblingless]

—Taako-san!

[Did Taako want a teenage girl flinging herself at him?

Because that is absolutely what is happening. Sorry but not sorry for the waterworks.]

[uhhhmagic]

Oh, gross, are you crying!

[Taako sounds pretty watery himself DO NOT point this out it will get worse

Anyway he’s not very good at hugging (it is a big like embracing a fence post) but he is trying. Patting her on the head.]

[reconnective]

[well. i hope she's balanced because there's one (1) spiky-haired protag immediately flinging himself at her.]

You're back!

[siblingless]

[She's balanced enough, and will absolutely spin him shoujo style to stabilize herself. It's fine.]

Sora-san! You're all okay!

[reconnective]

[shoujo twirls!! he doesn't even mind, it's fine.]

Of course we're okay! I think we were more worried about you guys getting back in one piece. Everybody's here and safe?

[moondumplings]

SUMI-CHAAAAAAAN.........!!

[ there's just a buntag throwing herself at you now ]

[siblingless]

[CATCHING HER. GETTING TEARS ALL OVER HER. GROSS.]

Tsukino-san!

[moondumplings]

[ WOW SAME HAT. they're just getting big ol tears on everything now ]

Oh, I'm so glad-! I was so worried we wouldn't get to meet again....!!

[lecarre]

[Opens mouth

closes mouth

TURNS TO GO]

[siblingless]

[Absolutely not allowed.

The moment she sees her, Sumire will run after her to grab her by the wrist.]

Carré-san!

[lecarre]

[aaaaaaaaaaa.

Anyway.

Ange clears her throat and looks at Sumire properly.]

... What is it? I--

[...]

Rather--it is good to see you in one piece, but... [Aaaaaa feelings are so hard]

[sacredchants]

[ she's useless with the tears but— ]

Welcome back Yoshizawa.

[siblingless]

[It's fine, they're happy tears! She rubs at her face, grinning like an idiot.]

Thank you...! It's good to see you again, Kamiki-san!

[sacredchants]

[ happy tears are still tears!!! but she's happy if only a little awkward. wow if only she had something to offer her to wipe her tears with. ]

Likewise...it's...really good to see you. I hope it wasn't too bad being on the other side.

[arcsplainist]

—Sumire! Oh, what a relief...

[siblingless]

Leveilleur-san, it's so good to see you again! Is everyone okay?

[arcsplainist]

Aye—are, we are fine. More than fine. Surely, more so now that we can all be reunited.

[discernments]

[ Oh, no, tears. ]

Yoshizawa, it's so good to see you again.

[siblingless]

Ruler-san! [Jeanne gets a quick, formal bow.] It's good to see you again as well!

[axecessory]

[ oh she's tearing up... don't do that, sumi. hilda approaches a little cautiously, though she's clearly looking her over for injuries before her eyes settle on her face. ]

Sumi—are you okay?

[siblingless]

[She may be a little roughed up here and there, but it's nothing life threatening. The tears are clearly happy tears, too.]

I am! I'm just— so happy. [She's a crybaby.] Are you okay, Goneril-san? It's good to see you again.

[cuedoves]

[ zuko rushes in, ready to greet her and then-- ]

[ fucking panics when he sees her crying. ]

What's wrong? Are you hurt?

[siblingless]

[ZUKO... She shakes her head, rubbing at her face and obviously smiling.

Though, uh, she does look a teeny bit roughed up. There were a lot of potholes in that pathway, apparently??]

I'm okay! I'm just... I'm so happy!
