week three: mingle

[cyclists]

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.

I've tried most of the edible things.

[ so uh.

this mochi. ]

[compendiem]

The fish and the soup, too?

[stillstands]

[ ... ... ... ...

... ... ...

... ...

... ]

Yes.

[compendiem]

[Why you lyin', Miki]

What do you think of the texture of the fish? More or less?

[stillstands]

[ because she doesn't want to suffer. ]

...

[ oh fuk did she even look at the fish? ] ... It was alright? I'm not exactly a chef myself, so I can't give a lot of tips.

[compendiem]

Public opinion means more to me than a master chef's. You're who I'm cooking for, after all. Does the pear work?

[stillstands]

[ Mm... bad. ]

I didn't really eat much of the pear, it seemed a little weird to me. Did the recipe specifically call for pear?

[ This might work?? ]

[compendiem]

Yeah. It's herb and pear sauce. With some individual touches.

[stillstands]

... Individual touches?


[ lawd. ]

[compendiem]

Yes.

[No further explanation]

[stillstands]

[ .......... ]

...

What... individual touches...?

[compendiem]

A chef cannot reveal their secret ingredient.

[stillstands]

...

That just makes it sound even worse, you know. What if I have allergies?

[compendiem]

What are you allergic to? I can tell you if it's safe.

[stillstands]

[ Urk. ]

I don't know. Maybe you used something I've never had before and am allergic to?

[compendiem]

That sort of thing can't be helped... But look, Lune is here. Isn't it better if you tried it and see? Then, if you're allergic, you'll know for the future.

[stillstands]

[ how could this happen to me. ]

I. Okay, I'll try it with the pear this time. [ at least she's keeping up her story????? ]

[compendiem]

I'll grab you a plate. With or without scales?

[stillstands]

[ who hurt you, why are you like this. ]

Without. Please.

[compendiem]

[Without scales it is. Minato globs some extra sauce on top for good measure, then hands the plate over to Miki ]

[stillstands]

[ Hrrrrrrfff.

Well.

She’s here now. This is where her choices have brought her. Bravely and boldly, she takes up her utensil and.... takes a bite.

...

... ]

It’s different? It’s not bad though.

[compendiem]

[ If it's not bad, it's... well, Minato was more or less aiming for plain old "okay," so this is great news, him able to make something people don't actively hate. ]

Thanks. I'm glad you don't hate it.

[stillstands]

[ ... Minato. You... reach for the stars, sweetie ]

Is that what you're aiming for?

[compendiem]

Yes.

[stillstands]

Not, like.... a "delicious", or a "really good"?
