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.

[cuedoves]

Yeah.

[ waving a little awkwardly. his arm is burnt ] Looks like the gang's back together.

[lionson]

It does, yeah.

[But Zuko your arm.]

You need some help with that?

[cuedoves]

I'm fine.

[ is he..... ]

What were you all doing over there?

[lionson]

[Is he really?]

Spying on you guys, mostly. You all can be pretty dramatic, you know that?

[cuedoves]

So I've heard.

[ says zuko, crossing his arms.... dramatically. ]

That's creepy. How did you watch us?

[lionson]

Magic.

[No really.]

[cuedoves]

I don't know what I expected.

[ dryly. ]

Could you see... everything?

[lionson]

Not everything, no. Just some stuff. Your secret conversations are still a secret.

We also couldn't see what happened on Thursday nights.

[cuedoves]

.... I guess the trials must have been frustrating for you guys to watch.

[lionson]

Ehh, not really. We couldn't see our own trials, and we were in the dark as much as the rest of you were. Usually we found out who the murderers were on Monday, when the victims showed up on our side.

[cuedoves]

.... Oh... yeah... I guess that'd be a thing.

[ yikes. ]

[lionson]

Yeah. Luckily most of you weren't cruel about it, so I'm not mad. And I'm pretty sure the others understand it was out of necessity too.

[cuedoves]

[ ... ]

At least we're done with that all now.

[lionson]

Yeah, though I'd encourage people to actually talk through their issues about their deaths if they have any, and to do it before tomorrow. We don't want any grudges coming up at the worst time.

[cuedoves]

[ zuko grimaces, but. ]

... Yeah. We need to be on the same page, no matter what.

[lionson]

[No need to be so serious, Zuko! Shiro will reach out to ruffle his hair.]

We do, but I think we can all talk through it. It'll be alright.

[cuedoves]

[ he doesn't even swat shiro. he's just tired. ]

[ that might be more worrying. ]

I'm ready to end all of this.

[lionson]

Ahhh, it must be weighing heavily on you, if you're not fighting me messing with your hair.

[He does pull his hand back.]

Is it better to talk in private?

[cuedoves]

It's not that. [ maybe it's a little that. ]

And it's pointless to talk about it.

[ but i still want a pc ]

[lionson]

[Time for a talk]
