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.

...No matches means you have to try again. One pull to start the reels, another to stop.
[ It's... supposed to be fun. People do this all day. ]
no subject
Added, by the way Four is acting and by the way the slot machines are behaving. ]
I can only take bad luck so many times, Minato.
[ But she does it.... once more, and once more, no matches of any kind.
Supposed to be fun doesn't mean going to be fun for Four. ]
no subject
It's, uh. I think it's programmed to do this on purpose. If you win right away, you won't feel any sense of accomplishment, right? But if you finally get it after [ five days ] an hour or whatever, it'll be more satisfying. I think is the idea, anyways.
no subject
If it's made that way, how is that luck? [ That sounds like cheating? ] I don't want to spend an hour doing this. I have other things I could be doing. I don't understand how anyone could spend that much time doing this.
[ It's just... pulling a lever and watching things spin. ]
no subject
The other aspect of it is timing. If you're able to time it right, it shouldn't take an hour. A trial can't be made too easy, right?
no subject
It doesn't sound like a trial with a decent reward. I still don't see the point or the use.
no subject
For some people, money is one of the most important things to them. So it's worth it. I was hoping if we hit the jackpot... we might find the key to this place. A clue to what's going on. Or how the "darknesss" and stuff ties into everything.
no subject
... Do you truly think that could be a prize? That may actually have some merit. ... I didn't know that's what you were thinking.
no subject
[ Which are essentially useless to the main game BUT!!!!! they're interesting? they contain information, just not something immediately relevant. ]
If something like that is possible, and we just give up on it because of impatience, that'd be too bad, wouldn't it?
no subject
she only addresses the words she does know. ]
The problem is that we don't know if it is possible. If it isn't, we may be wasting our time. It's a small dilemma.
no subject
There's a lot of us. And, statistically, winning the jackpot isn't impossible. I'll play while everybody explores the place— we're all helping each other out, in that way.
no subject
She narrows her eyes at him. ]
How long are you planning to go at this?
