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. Hard to know anyone when you're busy hiding, cowering and crying.

[That was unnecessary, Grim Eyes]

... y- yeah. You're right.

[and, like, he's maybe crying a little at that]

M- M- ! [uuuuu]

My name is Kazuaki Nanaki! I- I'm a button quail! I- I like video games! My favorite food is p-probably pizza! What about yours?

[it's scary, it's scary, but she's right and he wants to be better]

[She didn't expect the impromptu introduction. In a moment she replies back, still surprised:]

Ah, Grim Eyes, hyena, guess I like hunting and favorite food is anything that moves.

[Still, praise where it's due:]

Not bad! That was better. Good first step. Frankly everyone here is far friendlier than you'd expect. You'll be fine.

[........ uuuuuuu, he's still crying because it's just really hard to stop once you start]

Y- Yeah. I want to- I want to get to know everybirdie.

[he wipes his beak with his wings]

Um- I- I wouldn't be very entertaining to hunt! Y-You probably figured that out already.

Start with whoever you share a house with.

[Just a suggestion]

Yeah, you wouldn't. Too easy.

[...and that wouldn't really stop them back at home, but even if they were near her home she'd dissuade others from harming this bird. She really needs to stop befriending prey animals]

Y- Yeah! He's nice... even if he had a really scary thing brought with him. I stay inside most of the time s- so I did get to know him...

[........... and he's not sure if he's happy or sad that he's right about the hunting thing]

Um, who is... your roommate?

Really? Who is your housemate? Mine is the orange human. I think her name is Futaba. [Doesn't sound like she dislikes Futaba] A nice enough human, even if she's weird. You'd like her.
