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.

[THANKS FOR THAT. But he lets her turn away, still watching her closely all the same.]

I hardly think this is nonsense considering it's happened before...[...what should he do here.] ...but I suppose even knowing it wasn't real doesn't help, does it?

[ . . . she needs a second.

it's frustrating, but she knows that every part of her being just wants to hit something. her shoulders tremble with a combination of despair and rage, and as much as she wants to focus on the latter - the only collateral damage would be kaoru. so she can't.

there's a breath out.]


... I'm being ridiculous. That's all.

[and she'll try to exit the main hall, if only because she doesn't want to be somewhere so public for this]
twinsightful: (CALM ♜ Let's focus)

[...ah. And so he follows as usual, hands in his pockets after he gives an elaborate shrug and turns on his heel to exit as well.]

You are ridiculous a lot of the time. [It sounds like a sleight against her but by now he thinks Lili can read between the lines. She's ridiculous a lot of the time, but not right this moment.]

But since we're both awake. Breakfast. [He won't grab her, but he does turn just enough to force her off her her trajectory and to head toward the kitchen.]

[slkdjfkljdlj

she probably just very nearly stops to keep from bumping into him - and there's just a small pout at that even though she'll just... start to follow after...]


... are you preparing?

[can kaoru cook, the fuck]
twinsightful: (Default)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-15 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Sort of. [Kaoru cannot cook to save his life but he understands presentation and can probably figure out how to use a knife? It's fine.] Consider it another lesson in modern living.
coastal: (✧ look at all these peasants)

[personal profile] coastal 2019-06-15 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[hmmmm]

... fine. Then I'm in your care.

It better be delicious, if you're making me follow you.

[she actually normally doesn't complain about what she eats but kaoru is? making her?]
twinsightful: (CALM ♜ Let's focus)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-15 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You could trust me at least a little? [Rude. But they're walking...] I can guarantee that it will be presentable and delicious. Does that count?
