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.

Maybe if you ask him nicely. He just needs small steps to adjust to other people.

[ Minato "0 or 1000% there's no in between" Arisato isn't exactly sure how to accomplish that, but he nods anyways. ]

I'll try my best. But I like learning from different people too. Different tastes and styles and stuff.

[be kara's friend, minato. shess believes in you.]

If you say so. I really just know the basics, though.

[ He'll do his best... ]

The basics are the best place to start, really. Especially for beginners. Whenever you can make time for me, would you mind sparing some of that time?

I'm usually free.

[when you don't sleep, you have a lot of time to get things done.....]

Okay.

[ Minato would be jealous, if he didn't love sleeping so much. ]

Alright. You can grab me whenever.

[ While he... wades back into the ocean and sticks his hands underwater and waits for nothing to happen. ]

[...]

Maybe you should make a net, at least.

I have a net in my bag, but it's no good if I can't throw it out far enough.

[ He stands back up again, wiping his hands down on his soaked pants, and turns to look at Shess. ]

After last week, I thought it'd be better if I learned how to use my powers. So that's what I'm trying to do.

I'm not sure if I see the connection between fishing and lava.

Lava in water becomes rock. Then, I can fish in the middle of the ocean without asking Vally to walk the ocean floor for me.

Using your ability to create a foundation? Clever.

If it works. [ If it doesn't, then he'll have to keep brainstorming other ways to use his ability until he can figure out something fruitful. ]

I wouldn't be able to do it by myself, but if I had somebody from air help me, I could learn to make pumice. Rocks that float on water. Wouldn't have to create a whole foundation that way, just a raft.

You're getting very scientific, aren't you?

I'm very bad at throwing nets.

[ He's weak and so this is how it's got to be if he wants to net up fish. ]

Well, it's good to know how to cover your weaknesses.

Yep. That's also why I'm fishing.

[ It's some sort of weakness. ]

Actually— Do you have time tomorrow to go to the mountains?

[ He was promised a piggyback ride, he thinks, but then almost drowning happened and maybe that addled his brain. ]

To see the sunset? Sure.

To drive a tractor. But yes.

[uh]

You're driving a tractor up the mountains?

Yes. Vally wanted to watch [ him fail, probably ] but in case it doesn't work, I'd feel assured to have you as backup. The sunset will be nice.

[well okay then]

All right. I'm up for it.

Thanks. Sometime before evening, I'll come around with the tractor to find you and Vally.

I'll probably be in that area anyway, so look for me there.

Okay. Sounds good.

[ Minato may or may not be there tomorrow because everybody is dying, we'll see. ]

[shess is definitely cancelling because he'll be in a drug-induced bad mood, sorry minato]
