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.

Honestly, it might just be because this, of all the areas attached to the village normally, is the closest seeming to 'home'. ]
This particular region in specific, or the entire... pocket dimension, or fragment of a world, whatever you might call it, that we've been brought to?
no subject
[ (lucille bluth voice) i love all parts of the world and universe equally ]
no subject
[ they are
probably talking about very different forms of corruption aren't they ]
... But it doesn't mean that it's unthinkable, even in a place like this. Even if not as dramatic as Mary's transformation, I can imagine ways that these environs could become much... less hospitable.
no subject
some people don't know anything because their siblings like keeping secrets, julius ]
If it were impossible, we wouldn't be here. I... simply want to be believe we'll guide the universe to be a place where it won't end up like Mary. We'll make it a better place.
no subject
he hums lowly, thoughtfully, though not very happily, notably. ]
Do you think it to be that simple? That we- what, lead by example? [ guide? is probably not the word he might have used in the same situation ] Make ourselves into such paragons the corruption can't possibly touch us?
no subject
She shakes her head after a moment. ]
I don't think any of us are untouchable. I don't know what it will take to stabilize the universe yet, but we've been told that our decisions and force of will here will be make the biggest impact. That makes me believe that we will be the example.
[ Or something like that. ]
no subject
It would be much more convenient, I think, if they would simply elaborate on what we are deciding between, at this point. Outside the obvious of whether to trust one another or not, that is, because we've been quite limited in means or real choices during the time we've been here.
no subject
[ how do they choose? what are they supposed to do to getting the option of making a choice? ]
no subject
[ Execute Mary; spare Mary and execute an innocent while letting the corruption run unchecked. ]
We're apparently supposed to be discovering things on our own and coming to our own conclusions, but...
no subject
[ It's a little frustrating. (It's a lot frustrating.) ]
But still, we have to press on because what's the alternative?
