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.

The way this place seems to work, it's both. They wouldn't want us feeling too comfortable with what we know.

Or what we think we know.

[ Expect everything. Or something. ]

[foodbin]

Well... In that case, might as well try and see what's waiting at the end, right?

[forefall]

If there's nothing at the end, I might just try setting off all the traps at once, so we'll just be done with it.

[ The nuke it but not actually destroy everything option. ]

[foodbin]

[After a moment:]

Uh, are you sure that's a good idea...?

[forefall]

It would save us time.

[ sometimes, you just got to bash your way through to an exit if that's your mission objective? ]

[foodbin]

Wouldn't it also be incredibly dangerous, though?

[forefall]

If we're not in a trap's target radius, we'll be fine.

[ it should be simple? ]

[foodbin]

Unless somebody else is.

[forefall]

We're the only ones here right now.

[ Probably. ]

[foodbin]

Are you willing to take that chance, with the pits of spikes that are just hanging around here?

[forefall]

[ Four clears her throat and then cups her mouth with her hands. ]

Hello! If you're stuck in a pit, please respond! I'm here to assist you!

[ Does anybody reply? ]
