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.

[Food rations isn't exactly right, but she nods nonetheless.]

Exactly. [She looks slightly pleased by his understanding?] Worldly possessions won't do any good for the dead. It's selfish to keep them away from the people who'll get use outta them.

Hmm... Sorta like a will, right? I wonder if it'd be worth writing one here.

Are you planning to die?

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-06-16 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not planning to, but I expect to.

[tmw that's just sadder wtf.]

... Are you for real? If you don't plan to die, then have some confidence in your ability to fight back!

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-06-16 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I have confidence in my ability to fight. But when I'm faced with somebody here, that I've gotten to know, how can I fight them?

[ He shrugs, helpless. ]

If there's a way to incapacitate somebody, of course I'll try that first. But if it's a fight to the death... [ he shakes his head ]

Then you're an idiot.

Holding back against someone over something like friendship won't help anyone. Humans are bastards, you know. Someone could easily befriend you with the intent to double cross you later on. And that's without getting into this whole mess with the darkness.

[ The corners of Minato's mouth twitch briefly when North calls him an idiot, because it's starting to sound like a fond nickname with so many people telling him that all the time. ]

At the same time, they can easily just be friends. That's not something unique to humans, don't you think?

Without expecting something in return? I don't think so.

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-06-18 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't being friends getting something in return already?

Of course not.

I want to be your friend. What do you want in return?
