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.

[ oh. bad. ]

That sounds a bit like making a deal with the devil. I could always just fold. [ Immediately. Before the game starts. ]

Do you know how to have fun, like, at all? [Boooo. Don't fold, that's rude.]

[ Boo to you too. ]

I know how to have fun, I'm just pointing out there's not a lot to bet and I'm worried about what kind of weird things you'd ask for as favours.
twinsightful: (PLEASED ♜ What a stupid idea)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-15 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
What makes you think I'd ask for something weird as a favor? That's just rude. [Leave him alone?]

[ She will call you out as necessary. ]

Because you seem to get a lot of enjoyment at my expense.

[ Mister "I'm-Just-Going-To-Keep-Spinning-You-When-You-Don't-Know-How-To-Spot". ]
twinsightful: (CONTEMPLATIVE ♜ He needs this)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-15 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it my fault your reactions are funny? [He looks at his cards then.] What's wrong with that?

It might be. Could be the sign of a sadistic mind.

[ she's looking through her own cards as well. not folding though. ]

Maybe we should just agree to figure out something at a later time and play the game. Like a non-specific I-Owe-You.
twinsightful: (DEVIOUS ♜ The true face of evil)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-15 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah the grin that follows says that this isn't the first time he's heard that, but there's a little shrug.]

Alright. A non-specific I-Owe-You will do fine for now. [...he trades out a card.] And with that, I suppose that will be my opening bet as well.

[ Hm. Bad. ]

Alright then. I guess that means we can start.
twinsightful: (SMIRK ♜ Wouldn't you like to know?)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-15 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. As I assume you know how to play...how will you proceed?
