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.

Were you in the middle of anything, before this?

[omegathree]

Everything potentially earth shattering has been dealt with. I was at work.

[specialdog]

You have a job?

[ wtf ]

[omegathree]

Of course! I'm a prinny instructor.

[specialdog]

... A what?

[ Vavatorez what the fuck is a Prinny ]

[omegathree]

It's a temporary vessel for sinful souls. I help those former humans adjust to life as a prinny and then I send them to their new assignments.

[specialdog]

So you're like... An teacher of the damned...? I don't really get it... What sort of assignments do they do?

[omegathree]

They're sent out to do menial work for other demons like cleaning their bathrooms or being tossed as grenades.

[specialdog]

[ ....... you know what, with the other stuff she knows about Val, she's just going to accept it. ]

That sounds useful... So is that how they make up for having been bad people in life or something?

[omegathree]

[Thanks, Akane.]

They pay off their sins that way.

[specialdog]

Then what? Reincarnation? Or do they get to be demons, like you?

[omegathree]

Reincarnation. Humans don't become demons.

[specialdog]

And demons are just... Born demons?

Then since you're a vampire demon, was it like one of your parents was a vampire and one was a demon? Or were you just a demon who got turned by a vampire?

[omegathree]

Demons are born demons.

Both of my parents were demon vampires. A vampire is just a type of demon, they aren't separate species.

[specialdog]

What, really? That's funny... They're only a made up thing, where I'm from, but they're definitely separate.

[omegathree]

[What kind of nonsense is there in fiction these days.]

Hmm... My comrade is a demon werewolf. He didn't get bitten by one and turned.

[specialdog]

... Werewolves are just types of demons too, huh?

[omegathree]

That's correct. So are specters.

[specialdog]

So then are there any of those on--Earth? Or the human world or... Whatever?

[omegathree]

We can go to Earth, but we're from the Netherworld and that's where our homes are.
