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.

[coastal]

[the internal war between wanting to learn something new and hating hisoka is obvious

eventually she settles on]

.... show me.

[wildc4rd]

[Very well.

He turns on the ignition; at first, it isn't so bad. It growls to life, but idle, it merely purrs. When he revs the handle, though, it howls. He smirks at her.

And then pretty much does what he did with Minato: holds the front brake, powers the gas, squeals and skids the back tire before leaping off when he releases the brake, leaving her in a cloud of rubbery smoke.

He races away down the street and turns the corner, but the sound of the engine doesn't die so much as fade before it grows increasingly louder upon his return from the opposite direction.]

[coastal]

[there the widening of her eyes at the loud sound - and then she's just going to cough and wave her hand in front of her at the smoke because fuck you, clown.

though nonetheless.... lili such has a problem with being drawn to danger because it moves? so much faster than a horse? it's so quick? so there's still something distinctly interested in her eyes that she doesn't bother to hide when he starts to come back

she'll just wait, and observe]

[wildc4rd]

[Both feet come down to balance the bike once he rolls up to a stop back where he started a yard or so from her.

Ja-jaan.]

Are you going to drive one?

[coastal]

[she obviously wants to??? it's so plainly obvious but she also doesn't know how. there's the temptation to learn on her own out of SPITE but she is literally missing an eye she's in an even worse place to try to teach herself anything than usual

so she just huffs]

Name your price to teach me how.

[hate this]

[wildc4rd]

Hoh...

[Both brows go up. What a nice surprise! Name his price. That's so good. Really, continue giving him this kind of power. He smiles slow, but pleased.]

I'll teach you... if you have dinner with me.

[coastal]

What.

[she caN'T EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN HOW UNINTERESTED SHE IS

but it's... such a relatively low price.................. fuck,,]

[wildc4rd]

[He shrugs a bit like it's nothing.]

If you have dinner with me, I'll teach you how to drive. It's only dinner.

[coastal]

[ . . . it is only dinner.

and it makes her pause as she seems to be considering this. it sounds like courtship but what if she aggressively pretends that's not what's happening? then it's just the usual enduring him when she super doesn't want to.]

... Fine. Dinner - tomorrow.

[and she'll approach, tucking her hair up into a bun so that it's less Everywhere and in her way]

Instruct me.

[wildc4rd]

Okay.

[Straightening up and sliding back, he makes room along the front of the seat for her while still holding the bike up with his legs.]

I'll show you.

[coastal]

[thanks she hates this

and it's why she's just going to sigh as she moves to take a seat on the bike]

Be mindful of your hands.

[or she'll find a way to crash them both]

[wildc4rd]

[Be mindful, but he leans forward against her back so he can tuck her arms into the crook of his and wrap his hands over hers on the handles. His feet, one after another so he can hold the bike up, nudge hers into place over the gear shift and the brake.

He pushes down on one.] This is the main brake. [His other foot pushes hers down and up for the gears.] The gears. All the way down is neutral. You start there. [He pulls the brake on the handle.] Front brake. [And then he twists her hand over the handle itself.] This makes it go. If you turn too hard too quickly, you'll die. ♥

Ready?

[He reaches under her arm to turn the key. and like it's probably a pull start bc (redacted) canon but i'm saying it's a push start fuck you]

[coastal]

[hmmmmm bad. she tenses up immediately when he gets closer to her, scowling immediately before she schools it into more of a prim frown. she has to listen to his instructions, even though internally she's just listing every expletive she knows.

a huff.]

Ready.

[even if she still sounds like she wants to punch him so badly for being so close to her]

i hope i tag these and lili is dead today

[wildc4rd]

[She'll live. He's close just long enough to show her what everything is, and then he leans back so he can.... thread his arms around her waist. It's fine? He has to hold on.]

Go ahead. You won't learn until you try.
