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.

[ thankfully it hasn't been too long since they lost them, but it was still a hard time. but for the time being, everyone's restored and they can be proud of themselves. ]

Me too! We did amazingly, given the horrible circumstances.

[ her expression is a little softer than her words—it did take a lot to get to this point. ]

Have you been tending well to yourself and the others? I hope you looked after Ochako and Mob.

[antaressnipe]

But of course I looked after them -- to the best of my abilities, even with my memories still gone at that point.

... Though, we did not stay in that purgatory for long. Not even a day had passed for me when Goat came to fetch us, directing us through a portal so that we could rejoin you here.

[... Though he looks a bit tired now, and sighs]

Not that it was quite that simple, but...

[ at least she knew that her dead teammates were fully capable—it's good they had each other, no matter how brief their stay on the other side was. ]

Oh right, Goat showed up to direct us too... Did you guys go on some big, crazy journey to get here as well? Alex and I were with Jeanne and Ange to find Bunny, it was bizarre.

[antaressnipe]

[Eyebrows arching slightly at those names, and he tilts his head to the side]

Indeed... we ended up running into our own memories.

I suppose in that manner, it was like a journey to rediscover ourselves, though I do not know if that was the intent or simply a side-effect of us returning here.

[Shaking his head a bit]

Well, no matter. We are all fully whole, I assume.

[axecessory]

Mm, yeah. We saw some of the leaders' memories too... Guess even they had some searching to do.

[ and now they have their names! it's a step forward. ]

I feel like myself again. I think that means we've made it further than we ever have—not much further to go, hopefully.
