week two: mingle

[cyclists]

Week Two
26 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 Lune who speaks up first this time.

"Good morning, good morning. You've done well to purge the corruption in the previous gateway - allow us to assist with the finishing touches. For the time being, it would appear as though we've been able to locate another. The land might appear a bit familiar to some however... I only advise you watch your step."

When Lune finishes, Sol chimes in from their place at Lune's side.

"The corruption is still out there, and we're going to do all that we can to find a way to contain it. But until then... stick close to others this week. Do your best to protect yourselves and look after each other. Okay?"

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.

The only oddity is that throughout the week, in a noise that extends past the portal but seems to resound even through the village, there will be the occasional, resounding call of a war horn.

In addition, as the week goes on, partners will find ever-growing feelings of anxiety and nervousness dwelling within them the longer they are separated from one another. They will feel compelled to be very close to their partners at all times, and will be on edge if separated for more than an hour by the end of the week. Welcome to surprise codependence at its finest.



Welcome to your week two mingle! As a reminder, murder proposals are open. We will also be hosting a mini-event on Tuesday, so please be on the lookout for that.

In addition, ensure that all of your week one private conversations were reported on the page, and your week two private conversations are reported on that page. If you'll be taking anything from locations, please report that as well.

[Swift Wind has been caught by one of the rope traps in the woods through the gateway and is hanging upside down by all fours. That's it, that's the prompt.]

Hey, uh... a little help here? Guys? Someone? Anyone?

luigi boards;
[Have you ever wanted to do fortune telling with a horse?

Now's your chance. He's somehow managed to sit down, and he's got a hoof poised delicately on one edge of the planchette.]

I have no idea what this is supposed to do, but let's find out!

wildcard;
[Hit me with something else! Or hit me up on discord or plurk (bloodthirstiest) if you want to plot something out/do a pc.]

oops

[whitewalls]

[ how the fuck did it catch a horse ]

Um...

[hashtaghelping]

[that is a really good question]

...help...

[liversandhyenas]

[It's not everyday you see a horse hanging from a trap. Grim Eyes approaches, although her interest is not immediately on freeing Swift Wind]

Yeah, sure. Just let me take a look here first.

[She walks all around him, taking a good look at the ropes and how it's all set]

Not bad! Whoever placed this knew what they were doing.

[hashtaghelping]

...

[dang it, grim eyes]

Yeah, yeah, whoop-dee-do for them!

luigi... boards

[compendiem]

[ Minato has a vague idea of what this is supposed to do, but he'll let Swift Wind take lead, siting down on the other side of the board on crossed legs. ]

No instructions...? Looks kinda like a word game. Are there dice? Bones also work, in a pinch.

[hashtaghelping]

How do you use bones instead of dice?

[yikes]

Also, where would we get bones...

oops

[stillstands]

[ ... she just. she just wonders sometimes, y'know? how these things happen. ]

Did it really manage to catch all your legs in one trap...? How--?

[hashtaghelping]

I really wish I knew the answer to that question.

[but he super doesn't]

luiiiigi board

[specialdog]

You don't know? It's for talking to ghosts!

[omegathree]

[This is so strange, but why not?]

How do you use it?

[hashtaghelping]

No clue. Let's figure it out.

[this is happening ig]

oops

[forefall]

[ She looks at him for a moment and sighs. Somehow, she's not that surprised because it's Swift Wind. ]

Do you want to slowly and gently freed or all at once?

[hashtaghelping]

I yearn to stretch my legs and run for freedom, Four!

[translation: GET ME DOWN T_T]

oops

[leaberator]

[ a beat ]

All four of 'em? That's talent right there.

[ be more useful, axel. ]

[hashtaghelping]

—How did it get all four of your legs?!

[HORSE BUDDY???]

[hashtaghelping]

I wish I knew, North. I wish I knew.

[HELP HIM???]

oops

[foodbin]

[Hm. She looks at him, then to the branch he's hanging from, repeating the motion a few times.]

...Can you fly away if I cut you out?

[hashtaghelping]

...

If the air's right for it, I might be able to!

[ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.]

oopsie doopsie

[tothemaxwell]

Swift Wind! Ready yourself!

[And there she is, suddenly at the rope's terminus--

--cutting it through with the sword in one fell sweep.]

Fly!

[UMM??

A LITTLE MORE ADVANCE WARNING???]

[hashtaghelping]

[... WELL.

at least she yelled before she cut??

Swift Wind lets out a startled yelp, but manages to spread his wings at the last moment and keeps himself in the air long enough for him to right himself and land nimbly on the ground.]

Nice work!

[moonprisonpower]

..... What did you do.

[ regardless saix is going to try to get him down ]

[ he's not a softie fuk u ]

oops

[coastal]

[oh

oh no]

How did you - could you cushion your fall if you're cut free....?!

[HOW WILL THESE LOGISTICS WORK]
