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.

[ bye yona!! ]

Oh, Goddess—please do not apologize.

[ she looks a little horrified. ]

I'm definitely the one who should be saying sorry.

[dawnblushed]

...

[well]

Thanks for saying that. [she can't say it's not nice to get an apology] ...but it's okay. If I was in my right mind, I would have wanted you to stop me.

[axecessory]

...I do wish there was another way. We didn't mean to scare you.

[ even if logically she might've agreed with them, it's still worth apologizing over. ]

Are you okay? Did you get restored to normal after... everything?

[dawnblushed]

More or less, I think. I remember everything now.

[...]

Or, at least, I'm not thinking anything that's making me realize that there are gaps in my memory. I guess I wouldn't really know the difference, but I remember things that I didn't before.

[axecessory]

[ she nods along with that. ]

Of the things I've realized forgetting, I think I remember it all.

[ can they really define what's missing? she just has to believe it's all been restored. ]

And none of you guys who were splintering seem to be suffering from that, either. Thank goodness.

[dawnblushed]

I feel like myself again.

[...so, yeah! she doesn't feel like she's splintering.]

I just hope it stays that way. But - we managed to come back, so... the next step is making it home.

[axecessory]

Yeah, time to fight this big virus or whatever.

[ she does not know what that entails at all, and that is frightening, though not so much with the gang reunited. ]

But all of this was so we could make sure everyone makes it back, and... at least we've done that.

[dawnblushed]

I'm still not sure exactly what it is, but I'm going to kick it so hard it sees stars.

[axecessory]

[ she laughs, a light noise despite what's happened between them. ]

I'm not usually one for violence, but I would love to give this thing a beating.

[ she's right there with you, yona. ]

[dawnblushed]

[even yona's father might want to stab this virus honestly]

It would deserve it, after what it's put us through.
