week one: mingle
Week One
30 in Competition
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.

...I wanted to wrap the sword.
[ easier to carry, easier to store... and he wouldn't have to look at the broken pieces, even if he knows they'll be there. it's the only thing he can think to do with it. ]
no subject
looking away for a moment before he just writes again. ]
I'll sew it then.
[ faster and easier that way then they won't have to be around each other for it. ]
no subject
[ it's not like they're friends. neither of them have even pretended to be friends this whole time. why would he want to help kara? ]
no subject
[ so you'll stop moping or whatever this is. ]
no subject
Fine.
[ he's not going to offer any thanks, though. ]
no subject
okay. changing topic quick! ]
What else do you need?
no subject
...It has to be gold.
no subject
okay. just going to look around before pulling some options. holding up a couple gold colored cords, while tilting his head. These? ]
no subject
he wishes mitsutada were here to help.
eventually he'll give a shrug. it's not quite what he's looking for (even if he isn't sure what that is), but it could work in a pinch. ]
Maybe.
no subject
though he'll put those to the side for now, before scrounging for something else. finding a gold chain belt.
how's this? ]
no subject
It works.
no subject
he does allow for a smile for a moment to cross his face, before dropping it. he almost forgot who he's dealing with. turning away before giving a wave around to see if there's anything else he might want.
then just going to point to the previous words on paper to ask what else again. fetch quests were easier for him. ]
no subject
Something white, heavy enough to hold it without getting cut.
no subject
just ignore that this task takes him completely away from things he would look at normally.
he'll find something like white canvas. holding it up. ]
no subject
It's too rough.
[ kara knows he's being picky, but he also doesn't want to use something that he knows tsuru wouldn't touch. ]
no subject
but okay okay. let's go back to accessories to find a white bandanna. how's this? ]
no subject
he just looks at the bandana skeptically before raising an eyebrow at feral. do you really think this will cover a sword? even a broken one? the sheath is getting wrapped too, you know. ]
no subject
let's try something bigger. like a scarf? or a shawl?
holding them both up. ????? ]
no subject
This is good enough.
no subject
no subject
he gives feral one last nod before taking the shawl and chain and heading for the door. that's all the thanks he'll get.
it's time to wrap tsuru. ]
no subject
there is a protection joke here or something
feral is just going to lift a hand and then go back to shopping for himself. have fun ]
