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.

Um. . . you know how sometimes those strange places we went were based on the leaders' memories?

Like that, but based on our memories.

[reconnective]

Ohh...[oh that sounds mildly horrifying, he kind of actually prefers what the living did.] Sounds complicated, especially if it was a few of you going through the same place. Memories could get mixed up that way, couldn't they?

[exercisms]

Mm. We got them back over time, but everyone's memories seemed to get kind of. . .

[It was a lot!]

[reconnective]

If it was anything like the leaders' memories, I think I can imagine. [but he shakes his head.] Even more reason to be happy you guys are okay. We were hoping you were sticking together all the way.

[exercisms]

That's right. Everyone helped each other get through that place.

[reconnective]

Good. And now you guys are here...so what're you gonna do next? The castle's pretty big.
