week one: mingle

Week One
30 in Competition

As the sun rises on Monday morning, all participants will find themselves awakening with a sense of purpose. Regardless of where they slept the night before, they’ll find themselves compelled to return to the main meeting hall first thing in the morning.

Approaching the hall, however, they will find a large, swirling mass grey in color looming near the sakura tree. This swirl cannot be approached just yet, but seems to be locked and waiting for something more.

As the last member of the village enters the hall, they will find Lune and Sol at the head of the room. Though they’re together, it’s Sol who speaks up first this time.

“Last night, Lune and I were finally able to get some answers. Or, at least, something we can do to help. The core’s still experiencing fluctuations and some instability, but we’ve figured out a place some of it might be coming from.”

They stop, excitedly holding up a scroll.

“This core is connected to several worlds out there. It’s the heart of the universe and everything that happens here can be affected by the outside, and can affect the worlds you come from. We found somewhere that seems to have a source of darkness lurking around…if we find it and clear the corruption, we can help stabilize the core a little more and help protect yourselves while you’re here.”

With that, they seem to lose steam just a little, looking back at Lune for a moment before nodding.

“So, uh…we were able to open a gateway for you to this world. Checking it out might help us pinpoint the source and get this done faster, so…leave whenever you’re ready. There’ll be another gate on the other side to bring you back here.”

That seems to be it, though Sol looks back to Lune again. “Anything else?”

"Look after one another," they repeat again. "And do not believe it is possible to be over-cautious."

The moment participants leave the hall, they will find that the gateway has changed from grey to white, the opening widening enough for multiple people to step through. The Signs will soon take their leave, and all will remain peaceful once more.

In addition, as the week goes on, partners will find that a simple touch (even accidental) may incite the bond between them to grow stronger for a moment. They will experience a swap of memories through their connection, taking a moment to see a piece of their partner's past without any control over what exactly is being shared.



Welcome to your week one mingle! Please note that as of this week, murder proposals are open. CYOA sign-ups are also live, and will close at Tuesday, 8 AM PST. They will be running on Tuesday afternoon and evening, so please be mindful of your own availability!

In addition, ensure that all of your week zero private conversations were reported on the page, and your week one private conversations are reported on that page. If you'll be taking anything from locations, please report that as well.

[ she's quiet for a while, keeping her sniffles muffled as she can. for someone who has experienced death before and looked it in the face, it's hitting her oddly hard this time around. perhaps it's the circumstances. perhaps it's the age.

whatever it is, futaba takes the moment to grieve quietly, keeping her gaze focused on the kite above. she doesn't mind ookurikara around to do this own thing at the same time, and perhaps in a way, it's nice to have the company without the attempt of comfort. ]

[ maybe she heard mary's comment, at the execution about flying kites. maybe she heard ookurikara make the promise himself, during the trial. either way, it seems he's dedicated himself to this. whatever futaba is up to, he doesn't make any moves to offer comfort or to say a word. ]

[ at least the quiet is nice for now.

another count then two, and she sighs deeply, suddenly dropping into a crouch. ]


do you think she can see it?
unfriendliest: (@ god why)

[ no one will ever leave him alone for too long, so he's hardly surprised when futaba finally speaks. ]

I don't know.

[ she is kind of dead. ]

[ look, he's surrounded by teenagers, what did he expect? ]

It's nice to think about I guess? That they're watching from wherever.

[ like mom ]

I bet the commentary is hilarious.
unfriendliest: (not in the mood)

[ ookurikara doesn't know about that. he'd rather have tsuru back, unbroken, than wonder if his spirit is still watching. so he doesn't answer.

to the other comment, though... ]


Tsuru probably thinks so, too.

[ pause ]

He's wrong.

[ she'd like to think Mom's looking over her. after seeing the cognitive ghost, she's a little more inclined to Believe than the next person. ]

He sounds like fun.

[ she hums a touch, tilting her head at the kite above ]

I'd rather have them here than a disembodied voice too. [ Mary didn't deserve to be Chosen by darkness like that. There are so many adults out here to pick from ]
unfriendliest: (thinking too much)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2019-06-10 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he is absolutely not going to say out loud that tsuru is fun, even if kara doesn't believe he can hear them talking. tsuru would somehow come back from the dead just to gloat about it, if he said anything like that. ]

It's done.

[ they're gone, and there's no way to get them back. what's the use in dwelling on it? thinks the guy who came to fly a kite for a dead girl. ]
alitaba: (03)

[personal profile] alitaba 2019-06-14 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ maybe he should just to see if it'd work ]

And they're not coming back.

[ she knows better than the rest after all. but as long as she still thinks of them, they're never truly gone according to all those self help books she looked at. she'd absolutely believe their spirits get stronger the more they believe. gods aside, it's happened once to her, it can happen again, right? ]

[ he'll just. nod. what does he have to say to that? ookurikara has never been the reassuring one, and he wouldn't even know how to start if wanted to. ]

[ well that sure makes the two of them. at least the silence is comforting ]
