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.

[ huff puff, okay fine ]

Will you learn with me and Lea, then? It could be fun, sending notes to each other, and stuff.

[ wasn't that easy? ]

Sure. Learning a language is tough, but it's kinda fun too. I'd be up for it.

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-06-12 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Lea said that too, but it's not really a new language... It's just watching symbols to sounds. Around 30 in the Japanese language, so it shouldn't be too tough.

[ Assuming this is how Morse Code works, he doesn't know. Will this ever be relevant? shrugs into the sun ]

It's more exciting if you think of it that way. That was literally how they used it to send secret messages, wasn't it? So it's a language of its own.

[ They will find out as they learn. We will just use the morse code translator online. ]

Okay, we can't talk in it, but talking is never the only method of communication.

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-06-12 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess. It'd be cool if we had flashlights or something. Shine lights into each others' windows at night.

[ Disturbing either partners who are trying to sleep. It'll be fun. ]

[ Oh my go-- ]

Please don't shine a flashlight in my window at night.

What if I have something important to tell you?
stillstands: (124)

[personal profile] stillstands 2019-06-12 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Then leave me a note?

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-06-12 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
What if it's urgent?
stillstands: (50)

[personal profile] stillstands 2019-06-12 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Then actually come and find me and tell me in Japanese what the problem is?

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-06-12 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't want to wake up your roommate...
stillstands: (2)

[personal profile] stillstands 2019-06-12 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I’m not sure they actually sleep. Or if they do they sleep after me and wake up before me.

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-06-12 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
...Who's your roommate, again?
stillstands: (14)

[personal profile] stillstands 2019-06-13 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
Shess. I didn’t think it would be entirely appropriate to ask him about his sleeping habits after just over a week here...

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-06-13 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't mind being inappropriate. I can ask him.
stillstands: (131)

[personal profile] stillstands 2019-06-13 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Leave Shess alone, Minato. Just come and find me if you have an emergency.

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-06-13 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ No promises, Miki. If he makes one now, he'll be breaking it immediately in another thread. ]

[personal profile] stillstands 2019-06-13 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ i'm banning you effective immediately. ]
