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.

You sure fucking do. I'm waiting.

[By the gods, he's in so much trouble right now, but... despite himself has to laugh a little at Lup's glare.

It's proof he's alive, yes? That is a reason to celebrate, even as she makes such a face at him.]

I do not blame you if you are unhappy with me -- for all my pragmatism, I still deserve your anger for what happened. I made it clear many times that I would not fight back if targeted, and that is likely why I was picked.

[...] Even if I did not mean to hurt you, it's... clear that I did.

[He's going to gently reach out, to take her hand, if he's able]

But I meant what I had said to you, even when I had lost all of my memories. Being with you and the rest made me happy, and I would have eagerly stayed alive if I'd realized how much it would hurt to leave you all behind.

... If nothing else, I will at least promise to do better in the future -- because it seems we will both have time, now.
