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.

[ At that, Alphinaud actually manages a short chuckle. ]

Oh, 'tis been a while. ... I am glad to see you have returned hale and whole, Soo-won.

[recrowns]

Oh, thank you Alphinaud!

[and he looks perfectly pleased]

How are you? It seems like things have been rather hectic on this side as well.

[arcsplainist]

Indeed, we have had our fair share of work to do here, but I imagine the journey was harsher for you all.

[recrowns]

[he looks thoughtful at that]

Oh... I wouldn't say that. All our injuries were healed once we lost our lives, at least.

[compared to... everyone who still had their cyoa injuries....]

[arcsplainist]

... The way the afterlife supposedly works here leaves me truly perplexed, I will say, but—I am glad to hear you were... well, at least?

[recrowns]

[there's just a nod at that]

As well as we could be but... more importantly - we are all infinitely better now.

Thank you all for your efforts in bringing us back as well.

[arcsplainist]

Of course, but let us not forget it was a joint effort. 'Twas no feat we could have accomplished on our own.

[recrowns]

[another nod at that]

It's something we've had to rely on each other for, in all the forms that it came in...

I'm glad then - that people can look at all this and still see a happy reunion.
