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.

[ she doesn't notice. it's fine. she stops to just breathe deeply before she smacks him blue. ]

I would have rather been by your side than let you suffer alone.

[ she's turning pink? hm. ]

Won, I............

[recrowns]

[ . . . . . hm.

soo-won seems to blink at that, a little confused. something about it is distantly familiar and it's starting to alarm him a bit but -

.... no, it couldn't be.]

...

Let's get you some water, and something to dry your eyes. You must be tired.

[even still, he wonders if it's better to not take the chance.]

[moondumplings]

[ for a moment she looks like she wants to argue, to take her chance but eventually, she bites her lip and nods quietly. ]

Mm......... It's been a long day.

[ after all, she has- ]

[recrowns]

[ . . . . . . right. soo-won is just going to wonder then if maybe it isn't what he thought after all.

but he'll just take her hand gently, offering her a smile as he'll guide her off toward the kitchen]

I'm sure it has. Tell me about everything? Are you alright? Not injured anywhere?

[moondumplings]

[ it's fine. clearly, nothing he needs to worry about now. or ever in fact! yet she still lets herself be led, curling her fingers around his hand because if this is all she can get- ]

I'm alright...! It was really tough, rescuing Goat-sa- ah. Lessa-san. But somehow we managed.... [ :stressedbunny: ] We even got to punch!

[ she probably shouldn't sound so excited about that one ]

[recrowns]

Oh, really? That sounds fun.

[there's just a bit of a laugh]

Who were you with?

[moondumplings]

[ lists off her fingers ]

Xie Lian-san. Hua Cheng-san. And Zuko!

[ said in the same tone as AND PEGGY ]

We had a lot of help from people in that world too.
