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 you'd look cute in them too. I'd love to see you wear them someday.

[ Like. For trial. With everybody else, let's all wear cat ears together. I can't even remember how many Minato's made at this point. ]

[whitewalls]

[ sure. if she lives that long.

naminé blinks though. cute....... ]

... okay. I'll put them on.

[compendiem]

[ If Naminé dies tomorrow I will personally murder you Francy, Zia lets you off easy but I won't ]

I'm glad. We'll match.

[whitewalls]

[ guess we'll see! ]

That means you're cute too.

[compendiem]

[ ))))): at least let her die wearing cat ears

Too... Hearing that makes him happy, but even more than that, "too" means that Naminé believes she's also cute, and that's such a good thing. ]

We'll be the cutest pair around.

[ Because other people! don't want to wear their headbands!!! ]

[whitewalls]

[ that gets her to laugh. ]

Right. I'm sure others will be jealous.

[ probably. akane exists. ]

[compendiem]

I'm sure they will, because I get to be with you.

[whitewalls]

[ okay, she laughs again. ]

Uh huh...

I like being with you. Thank you for hanging out with me.

[compendiem]

[ Know that I'm imagining it as the awkward "haha what the fuck" laugh ]

I like being with you too. It's not something you have to thank me for. I like hanging out with you. You said before you didn't get to do a lot of things back home... so I wanted to share these sort of experiences with you too.

[whitewalls]

I'd like to try as many things possible while I'm here. Even if our situation isn't the best... I don't want to waste the opportunity.

[ she looks down at their hands, and then back up at the forest in front of them. ]

So I'm still thankful.

[compendiem]

[ This time it's Minato's turn to laugh, a soft, quiet huff of breath. ]

But you don't want to try catapulting?

[whitewalls]

Maybe when I'm confident that we won't break our legs.

[ especially after this week ]

[compendiem]

Maybe we can come back another time to do it, then. I could find some way to pad our legs and keep them safe.

[ They can preserve what limbs they have left ]

[whitewalls]

With what? Pillows?

[ this is a bad idea ]

[compendiem]

[ still a better idea than what Minato had in mind ]

That's right. Pillows.

[whitewalls]

Or maybe something sturdier... it'll be bad if we took all of them.

[ what will they sleep with ]

[compendiem]

[ They can bunch up some of the blankets to use a pillow? Maybe Minato just uses Kazuaki as his pillow, who knows. ]

We wouldn't want it to be too sturdy, or the force will just transfer through our legs and shatter them.

[whitewalls]

Ah. That would be bad.

[ an understatement ]

Maybe we should just get parachutes.

[compendiem]

A parachute...

[ He has no idea how to make a parachute. But, all the same, he nods. ]

Sounds good. I'll figure it out.

[ And that's what they're going to bank their lives on the next week if both of them manage to make it out alive, DIY parachutes. ]

[whitewalls]

[ they're going to die in the stupidest way possible ]

If you need help, let me know.

[compendiem]

[ Yes. I don't know how to write serious sad deaths, only stupid ones. ]

Alright. You can help me choose out the fabric patterns later. How about that?

[ They're going to die and they're going to die cute. ]

[whitewalls]

That works. They'll be really nice parachutes.

[ will they ]

[compendiem]

[ They will be nice..... looking. Maybe not nice functional. ]
