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.

[ he didn't mean to imply it was stupid, and he's not going to say it now. in all honestly, he wants to agree with her.

and yet. ]


Mary was corrupted.

[ whether it was just or not, that much is fact. ]
coastal: (✧ i don't like that you're right)

[that manages to get her to stop walking.

and then she'll turn to face him.]


... she was. And she's gone.

[which lili hates, because they couldn't figure out another way to purify her. they still know too little, and it frustrates her so deeply.]

I'm being reprimanded for refusing to comply with nightmares, and I can't vote the way I did again this week or else I'll die. No matter my personal feelings, I can't repeat what I did and put my partner at risk.

[there's a tiredness in her voice - but her gaze doesn't imply she plans on yielding just yet. she wonders why they're having this conversation, if he's trying to talk sense into her or something else.]

Am I missing anything, Ookurikara?

[ she's missing the fact that he doesn't want her to die next, but. there's no need to say so. she seems to have no plans for that, anyway. ]

What do you plan to do?

[don't say that out loud she'd be so confused because what does he care

anyway]


I'm considering not sleeping in protest.

[is she serious]
coastal: (✧ TERRIFIED SHRIEKING)

[ . . . sorry give her a second to realize that she sort of just ran out of her home without even fixing herself up for the day? and she's in front of someone who she actually doesn't hate?

so she looks surprised for a second before immEDIATELY TURNING RIGHT BACK AROUND AND TRYING TO GO BACK TO HER HOUSE]


Bother me later!
unfriendliest: (absolutely not)

[ ...now that is stupid and he's about to say so, she's turned to make a beeline for her house.

so, uh. fine. he'll just keep an eye on her to see how this not sleeping thing works out, then. ]
