WEEK 1

[retellers]

[ The room Rufus steps into... looks a little like a pub. The floor and the walls are both wooden, despite the castle very much not being so. Alongside the right wall there's a dart board next to a karaoke and pinball machine, though the pinball machine seems to be out of order. There are two empty wooden tables with a few chairs around them, and a bar at the back of the room with a couple of stools for sitting. There's alcohol lining the shelves behind the bar.

Wolf is sitting on one of the stools when Rufus enters. Join them? ]

TASK

[retellers]

[ The following task will pop up on Rufus's PHS, under a new app titled PAWN. ]

Get five people to tell you a secret.

WOLF

[retellers]

[ Wolf is here to answer any questions. ]

REPORT

[retellers]

[ Once your task is done, please report the link(s) here before Friday, 3PM EST! ]

[soulus]

[He doesn't sit, but he does join Wolf at the bar.]

What constitutes a secret?

[retellers]

[ that's fine, Wolf can be alone with their clearly untouched drink. ]

It doesn't have to be important. [ they'll start with that, swirling the glass a bit ] Anything someone is willing to tell you that others might not know about themselves or others counts.

[soulus]

And it has to be from this week.

[retellers]

Unfortunately. [ they tilt their head ] But you might luck out, considering the rule. If people share a memory with you they don't share with anyone else, that counts as a secret.

[soulus]

[That's one way to luck out.]

Have the others been tasked with a similar objective?

[retellers]

Other teams? Can't tell you for sure, but I doubt it. We've never had completely identical abilities before.

[soulus]

Abilities?

[retellers]

This is a kind of... power the Realm granted. The rewards you'll get from doing the task is stuff you wouldn't be able to get otherwise.

[soulus]

I see.

Is this a confidential arrangement?

[retellers]

Yeah. Sorry if it makes your job harder, but this should stay between you and me.

[soulus]

The client's privacy is important.

Does it benefit the Realm if I complete the task?

[retellers]

Yeah. On top of the reward you'll get, which should help in the long run, it'll help with the nova.

[ some...how ]

[soulus]

. . . Understood. Then I will go and see to the task.

[retellers]

If you've got any questions, feel free to ask.

[soulus]

Dorothy - Dorothy's father lost his hand in an accident and gave her drunken beatings.

Yoshizawa - Yoshizawa's sister died, because of her negligence.

Fiora - Fiora perished during an attack on her hometown and became part-Mechon afterward.

Hikaru - Cefiro as it appears now is nothing but chaotic debris.

Alex - Alex's wish is to reunite with her brother.
