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.

Of course!

I wouldn't offer if I didn't want to.

[Seriously, she could just say "I'll make you brownies" or something equally delicious but ultimately short-lived]
twinsightful: (CHEERFUL ♜ It's crystal clear)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-12 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'll accept! [Cheerfully said, solely because that's still something he can work with.] And for my buy-in...[He thinks for a moment...and then pulls out about 500 yen and just. Puts it on the table? Sure.] We're not playing for too much anyway.

Fine! I accept.

[Putting her hands in her lap like a LADY even though she's eyeing those cards like she expects a magic trick]

I'm ready. What do I do first?
twinsightful: (CALM ♜ Thanks for trying)

[We don't talk about why he just has random money. But he deals five cards for himself and looks at them, gesturing for Nana to do the same.]

You look at your cards first and see what's in your hand. There are a lot of different things you can have, and you want to have a hand that's higher than mine. [A lot of this is probably proxy-knowledge from a.) books and b.) host club casino events.] A royal flush is the highest, so that's a ten, jack, queen king and ace all in the same suit. And the lowest is, like, one pair.

[Yeeeep, a general knowledge of pop culture means she's familiar enough with the terms and types of hands Kaoru mentions, so after glancing at her cards--]

Okay, do we show each other our hands now? I thought there was something that involved... raising and holding...
twinsightful: (CALM ♜ On second thought...)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-12 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
You really only want to raise if you have a good hand and think it can beat mine. Holding is for if you want to see what happens next. [He thinks.] You can also trade your cards if you think your hand is bad. [Case in point, Kaoru's looking at his cards before he discards two and picks another two.]
