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.

I think Kazuaki-kun put a sign up at his place.

[ Maybe? She doesn't pay that much attention, honestly. ]

... And thanks! Ehehe, I worked really hard. Monsters like this are alllll over the place, usually.

[autocatalysis]

So two houses out of however many are left. [ apparently they've been disappearing, so probably thirteen? ] It's progress.

[ given that he doesn't pay much attention to the houses anymore he really doesn't have much reason to talk on this point much longer either, so... monster carving, yes. ]

All over the place, really? Haven't really seen one of this particular stature. Most don't often tend to be bipedal, to my experience.

[specialdog]

[ A kinder person would probably offer to carve him at least a simple sign or something but.......... she's akane, so. nah!! ]

Mmm, there are ones that aren't bipedal, but don't you think the ones that can stand up like this are more charming?

[autocatalysis]

[ Julius expects nothing from other people and Akane offers nothing. This is why they're friends (???? citation needed), ]

They're usually a bit more of a pain to fight, in my opinion...

[ not to say that the quadruped ones are easy, but it's different styles of annoying, alas. ]

How big would it be normally, anyway? Unless that's to scale?

[specialdog]

I don't have to fight them, thankfully!

[ she laughs at the idea. fight them?? but they're her friends!! as for scale... she looks up into the sky... ]

Usually they're a couple stories tall...?

[autocatalysis]

... Exactly how do they manage to find enough food to sustain themselves?

[ this is a very legitimate question when your world is barren as fuck? ]

[specialdog]

They don't really need to eat, I think...?

[ why does she sound unsure ]

[autocatalysis]

You think?

[ howst ]

[specialdog]

Mm... I only feed Anti-kun every now and then, and he's fine.

[ Akane that is cruelty, you are describing cruelty ]

[autocatalysis]

Are you... sure about that?

[ a giant starving lizard monster in an urban population sounds like a recipe for disaster. ]

What do they live off of, then?

[specialdog]

Sure.

[ "Sure" is not a promising answer to "are you sure about that" but it's fine. Anti never dies when she stops feeding him??? so he must be fine. ]

Mmmm... I don't know if you could really call them organic...
