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.

[Wait, huh?]

You think of me as a buddy?

[He sounds so touched and yet completely startled.]

[hashtaghelping]

'Course I do! We're stuck in this whacky place together, aren't we? And we've totally solved two murders together.

That makes us buddies.

[omegathree]

You're correct.

That makes us comrades. I'll continue relying on you.

[hashtaghelping]

And I'll rely on y—

[the planchette starts moving on its own!

Y..O..U....T..W..O....A..R..E....S..A..P..S...]

Yeah, well, whatever. We're still gonna rely on each other, so there.

[omegathree]

You can call us whatever you'd like.

[hashtaghelping]

The ghost just doesn't know good buddies when it sees them.

[omegathree]

You think they don't have comrades to rely on here?

[hashtaghelping]

If they had friends, why would they be hanging around waiting for us to ask questions?

[omegathree]

It could be the way they have fun these days.

[hashtaghelping]

Is haunting people normally that boring?

[omegathree]

I don't know, I've never haunted anyone. I'm not the right kind of demon for that.

[hashtaghelping]

What kind of demon are you then?

[omegathree]

I'm a demon vampire.

[See? Look, fangs.]

[hashtaghelping]

So if you don't haunt people, what do you do? You don't drink their blood either, right? You said so last time.

[omegathree]

I used to, back when I was a Tyrant. I scared people into living conservatively and being thoughtful.

Now I'm a Prinny Instructor! I help sinful humans pay off their debts and reincarnate.

[hashtaghelping]

...

So you're a teacher demon!

[WHY IS THAT WHAT HE TOOK AWAY FROM THIS.]

[omegathree]

[ He will absolutely take this. ]

Yes! That's my job. It's an excellent profession.

[ Absolutely nobody wants to be a Prinny Instructor, but Val loves his job. ]

[hashtaghelping]

Cool! You should teach me something sometime.

[val-sensei]

[omegathree]

You are not a prinny nor a human. What do you want to learn?

[hashtaghelping]

Something that'll help at the next trial.

[omegathree]

I'm not a demon detective. I don't investigate crimes home.

Pick something specific and I'll learn about it then teach you.

[hashtaghelping]

People were talking about fingerprints last time, so... that, I guess. Let's learn about fingerprints!

[omegathree]

We can do that, but it's doubtful either Sol or Lune can provide the correct tools.

[hashtaghelping]

Well, that sucks.

[omegathree]

It's unfortunate, but we must work with what we have available.
