Week Three
24 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. I wonder if you'll find the skyline familiar? Do try to be kind to those you find on the other side."

When Lune finishes, Sol chimes in from their place at Lune's side.

"You guys did great minimizing the damage and working together...so keep it up."

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.

In addition, as the week goes on, partners will begin to experience the emotions of one another. The clarity of these emotions enhances with proximity, and they will be able to feel the emotions of their partner's intermingling with their own.

Welcome to your week three mingle! As a reminder, murder proposals are open. We will also be having another CYOA this week! Sign ups are here and will close on Tuesday at 8 AM PST.

[ Cinnabar has no idea what they're looking at, but they do know that it looks a. delicate and narrow and b. barely-balanced, not to mention the fact that it looks like it only seats one. ]

No way. I'll break that thing.

Hmm.

[Considering what happened with the elevator...]

Should we ask Lune and Sol to make one to support you? They do like granting favors.

I don't even know what it is...

[ although they're ok with forcing lune to make them more stuff because it's all they ever do ]

A motorcycle. [It doesn't sound at all judgemental of the fact they don't know what it happens to be.] A vehicle for transportation.

If you want to ride, one will have to be made to support your weight.

Can't I just walk?

[ they don't get it ]

If you want to keep up with me, you wouldn't be walking. How fast can you run?

Huh? I don't know... Normal speed. When did this turn into a race?

You asked why you couldn't walk. The whole point was to ride. If you want to walk around, I don't mind.

You can come back in an hour, and I'll let you ride. If they've given us one that can hold your weight.

I'm not interested.

[ they still feel like they don't exactly understand... but that's beside the point. ]

... It doesn't matter. I wanted to talk to you, anyway.

[One brow goes up slowly. He leans on the gas tank with an elbow, propping his head in his palm.]

Hoh? Someone looking to talk to me?

[amazing]

[ a miracle has occurred... ]

You were fighting with Shess, right? What happened?

[He lips curve up some.]

Was I? He did come visit me when he was angry. I had to give him some... relief.

And? I doubt he was angry for no reason.

[Oh no. They don't know?? The poison.]

It really was for no reason. He came to me and wanted to fight. It wouldn't be polite to back down.

That doesn't sound like something he'd do.

[ folding their arms. ]

... Don't hurt him. Enough of you are hurting each other as it is.

["Don't hurt him," but it's fine if Shess' stronk ass hurts the clown. He sees how it is, Cinnabar.]

It wouldn't be any fun if he was hurt badly.

[ make friends with cinnabar and maybe they'll start standing up for you, too, mr. clown...

the response makes their delicate brow furrow, and they sigh. ]

So you're one of those battle maniac types, then...?

[ they don't get these people ]

[He only smiles at this.]

He’s not so weak. He can take care of himself better than you think.

You think I don't know that?

[ he's strong, and older than they are. ]

I don't like it when my friends get hurt. That's all.

[Big strong old.]

I think he can manage. A little pain means you're alive, right?

Is that how you see it?

That's how it is. Don't you feel pain, too?

Not the same way you do.

[ hardly at all, really... ]

Then I wonder if you're really, truly even alive.

[he's mean]

... I'm standing here, talking to you, aren't I?

[ they have many insecurities but not this one somehow ]
