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.

[omegathree]

[And then Val gets on.]

Do I need to grip you?

[wildc4rd]

[VAL THIS IS THE WRONG CLOWN]

Yes.

[omegathree]

[He has his stupid idiotic reasons for everything and i feel like i have hives.

Anyway he grips around Hisoka's midsection because he doesn't have a death wish.

Unlike me.]

[wildc4rd]

[Ahh yes, the grip is good. Not because it's Val since he is still mad Val wouldn't give him a good time, but he can torment Val with his presence while I torment Mira.

Time to crank up and GO. Hope Val loves going fast because Hisoka has zero regard and a lot of wind for them to eat.

At least?? he?? seems to be a good driver.]

[omegathree]

[And Val is still mad because Hisoka keeps lying about Val wanting to drink his blood. First off, it's human blood. Second, this man is not the person he promised to drink from first. Three, how dare he slander Val's name.

Still his grip increases and for any normal human they'd probably have to worry about some intense bruising.

But he does seem to be enjoying the ride.

Wind, fast, good.

Clown bad.]

[wildc4rd]

[Maybe he's a normal human and you just killed him, Val? He's dead. The clown has been vanquished.

Also, clearly, he's the better clown here! Really, who is giving Val the ride on the motorcycle? It's him, so.

Val gets a face full of wind if leaning to either side since, with the roads empty, it's easy for him to blast the higher speeds down a straightaway. The only issue is when he stops. It's not a slow down.

It's a slam the brakes so that Val gets jostled around.]

[omegathree]

[Axel is the better clown because he isn't being weird as fuck to teenagers.

If only Hisoka wasn't a Level 2000 clown.

The wind is nice and reminiscent of when he's being thrown to get to the end of the map in the item worlds. It's fun and quick and Val doesn't even notice the fact they breaked so awfully. He gets tossed around A Lot at home.]

So you do know how to drive these.

[He sounds so pleased.]

[wildc4rd]

I'm a very fast learner.

[He holds the front brake down and twists the handle to give it gas. They don't speed off. Instead, the back tire shrieks and slides across the ground until they've turned about ninety degrees.

And then he lets go of the brake.

They leap forward suddenly, a tad bit unbalanced, before righting again and blasting off down the empty road.]

[omegathree]

[Hell yeah, almost dying! It's not the same as true combat, but either way, Val is stuck pressed against Hisoka and feeling weird about having a good time here.]

[wildc4rd]

[Unsure if the vampire pressed against him is something that'd even make his skin crawl because of unrequited fighting or if it's entertaining. Bad.

He races them down another stretch of road and leans into one side to zip around the corner and down another.

Since they're on a motorcycle, it's easy to blast by the guard columns for the park. No vehicles? Try to stop him. Time to just tear up the park paths, but at least Val gets a good view?]

[omegathree]

[This is all terrible.

Especially the part where Val is perfectly fine with all of this. Go fast, Hisoka. Val's grip is still as tight as ever.

It's not his place to tell people they're gonna become prinnies, and besides, this is he kind of low level chaotic nonsense that most demons would do.

So he doesn't say a word about the park paths but he's enjoying every moment of it.]

[wildc4rd]

[That's good

because Hisoka is definitely going to jump the hill with the grave on it. Hitting the incline going so fast gives them a heavy jostle, but the bike careens up without grinding into the grass and dirt.

And then the hill spits them over the grave and down on the other side.]

[omegathree]

[And a great time was had by all! Because Val is a weird old man who loves almost dying and almost being dead. Maybe it's a demon thing.

All these odd human contraptions, but he supposes even they have their place.]

[wildc4rd]

[The place is questionable transportation and flying over hills. Thankfully, Hisoka just goes over one before careening back down the walkways, throwing up wind and leaves.

He stops at the entrance to the park and glances back over his shoulder.]

Finished?

[omegathree]

Yes, I'm done. It was... surprisingly enjoyable.

[Maybe because neither of them talked during this whole run.]

[wildc4rd]

[Good times with the clown all around.]

Are you getting off here, or back at the gate?

[omegathree]

Here is fine.

[Because he does want to explore the whole place before Thursday comes around.

He'll be dismounting the bike now.]

[wildc4rd]

[He lets Val dismount without trying to run him over.]

Have fun. Valvatorez.

[omegathree]

[why won't anyone let me die around these parts.

He's off to explore the graveyard.]
