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.

[ Four glances at the birds curiously. As long as none of them try to peck her, it's fine. ]

I didn't say you wouldn't be able to. I meant you didn't have to.

[ Four doesn't seem to have any objections to killing the boar. ]

[At least it's over quickly. Grim Eyes jumps at the boar, intending to finish this quickly before Four could be in any serious danger. With dexterity, one plunge of the spear is enough to wound it severely, making it crumple to the floor. Matter of time before it dies, really.

Above, the birds get closer to Four. Those may be...trying to block her from sight. Very ineffectively. When Grim Eyes is done with the boar, she looks up, noticing the birds up there]


...really? Ugh, still not getting the hang of this 'controlling animals' thing.

[Apparently the birds are her fault]

[ Four watches or tries to watch around the birds. It's. Hm. She also tries to avoid being winged in the face.

She doesn't flinch seeing the animal crumple after Grim Eyes strikes. ]


Have you been trying to train with it lately?

No. It just keeps happening from time to time. I dunno what I'm even supposed to do with it!

[She kept thinking about Four being hidden up there, so the animals kept going in that direction. It seems right now Grim Eyes' way to handle the power is all about instinct instead of really giving orders]
forefall: (your pale forehead)

It should be like any other ability you have. It'll take some focus and concentration and practice.

[ But now that the threat is no longer a threat, Four will slowly drop out of the tree to the ground. ]

I don't think you have to do anything with it. No one said it's something you have to use.

Then why'd they give these powers to us if we're not supposed to use them?
forefall: (turning here and there)

[personal profile] forefall 2019-06-14 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't say that.

[ Four's eyes narrow for a second before she sighs. ]

They wanted to make things fair and then gave us limited options. It's an option you can use if you want, but if you don't, I doubt you'll be punished.
