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.

What you did helped make sure we came back.

[as a previously dead wolf yona sure appreciates that]

...besides, you aren't the only one who did. It's not like you killed all of us.

[lecarre]

[...]

That is true, though I do not think it changed anything.

Regardless... I supose philosophical questions of guilt have no place here. Truly, Yona--welcome back.

[dawnblushed]

It's good to be back.

Next step - make sure we all make it back home, right? Whatever happens, we'll all be together, so I'm sure we can do it.

[lecarre]

... You truly believe those things that you say, don't you? It amazes me a little.

I honestly did not think such foolhardy optimism could exist in someone who clearly has suffered as much as you have.

[dawnblushed]

Hey— "foolhardy"?!

[ANGE, COME ON.]

[lecarre]

It is true. Even after all of this, you are still...

[... She doesn't get it.]

... Well. I suppose that is just the sort of person you are.

[dawnblushed]

It's not foolhardy! People have always been able to accomplish more together than they can when they're apart. Since we've been able to do so much already on our own, we'll definitely be able to take whatever comes at us in the future!

[lecarre]

... I do not think...

[... Ange clears her throat and looks away.]

Rather... I think we are the sorts of people who live in different worlds. [and not just physically.]

But even so, I am determined to make it home as well, regardless of what it takes.

[dawnblushed]

Maybe that's true. ...but I'm glad to have had the chance to meet you, Ange.

[they'll make it back! she's sure of it. and they'll have their memories of these encounters.

unless something eats their nova again]
