week one: mingle

[cyclists]

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.

[moonprisonpower]

And this from an elevator?

[ saix admits nothing ]

[wildc4rd]

In this case, it'll do.

[Admit it, Saix.]

I won't complain. No one else has given me any other challenge that's worth it yet.

[moonprisonpower]

And what would a worthy challenge be? A fight?

[ why is hisoka ]

[wildc4rd]

Of course.

[because he is just accept it]

[moonprisonpower]

[ no. ]

I'm surprised you haven't managed to goad anyone into fighting you, yet.

[ it's been a week step up your game hisoka. ]

[wildc4rd]

[This really gets a wide smirk out of him. Saix gets a coy glance.]

Who said no one has fought me?

[moonprisonpower]

Not a worthy fight then, I'm assuming.

[ you better not be getting a boner right now hisoka!!!!!! ]

[wildc4rd]

A little disappointing. Want to try your hand?

[moonprisonpower]

Not particularly.

[ snubbed!!!! ]

Who have you fought?

[ also pick a random place for them to end up i believe in u ]

[wildc4rd]

[Alas, his boner will never be satiated. Why is everyone so hecking DISAPPOINTING.]

I don't kiss and tell.

[moonprisonpower]

[ catch him when the moon's out, hisoka ]

You already did tell.

[ kind of. he said they were disappointing!! ]

[wildc4rd]

Ah, ah. I didn't tell their names. It's our secret.

[everybody making me pick the damn floor when they pushed the damn buttons!!!!

they're going to the chapel because they both need jesus]

[moonprisonpower]

I don't know why you'd want to keep a fight a secret.

[ really it's the other people who should never mention his boner ]

[ also it's what you deserve. ]

[ saix goes ahead as soon as the doors open. ]

[wildc4rd]

It depends on the fight. [Leaning off the elevator wall, he follows after Saix like a wraith.] The really good ones... Hmm.

It's a lot like sleeping with someone. It's polite not to tell.

[moonprisonpower]

[ he looks at hisoka with no comment. just judgment. ]

[ then: ]

I thought you said none of the fights were to your satisfaction. So, according to yourself, you slept with no one.

[ i hate this thread anna ]

[wildc4rd]

I just said they were disappointing. You can still sleep with people and find it lacking, right?

[suffer]

I'm trying to spare them the humiliation.

[moonprisonpower]

I suppose.

[ like this angry version would know!!! ]

[ anywhere here they are at the chapel. ]

Hm. I wonder what we're supposed to find here.
