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.

[...........wow, the sword really knows nothing.

Very slowly, Hisoka makes a pointed motion out to the console near the front. The key, which he turns, and then the.... well, I have been assuming this was push-start, but just now realized the canon probably is too old school for that, but whatever.

IT'S PUSH START NOW. Kara lucked out.]

[unfriendliest]

[ the latest era he's gone to is the meiji restoration okay, give him a break.

anyway he'll mimic hisoka, and when the motorcycle comes to life he stares at it with wide eyes. but kara isn't one to waste time, so he's already thinking of how to ride this bad boy. which one did hisoka say was to go forward...

he guns it.

and immediately lets go when the motorcycle lurches forward, startled, and nearly loses balance on the bike as it rolls to a stop. this is fine. ]

[wildc4rd]

[Kara is trying his best.]

Powerful, isn't it? You'll get to like how strong it is between your legs. [;)] But you should go slow first.

You really can't skip the build-up in the beginning, or everything is just ruined. And not in the good way.

[It's great this all goes right over Kara's head. Thank God.]

[unfriendliest]

[ nods! he totally gets this, just not the weird innuendos. so he's going to start slower this time, frowning in concentration. it doesn't work exactly as planned, so he still lurches forward a bit, but he seems to have a little more control?

though occasionally the bike does still jump forward because he's still trying to figure out how to do this more smoothly. ]

[wildc4rd]

[Without driving anywhere himself, Hisoka just watches Kara struggle a bit with the bike, green streak and all.

Ahhh, it's funny.]

Better than a horse?

[unfriendliest]

Horses aren't so hard to control.

[ he sounds annoyed, but he's... slowly... starting to get the hang of it. ]

[wildc4rd]

Aren't they? With a mind of their own? Or is it because... they're so obedient?

[Both arms fold out over the handlebars. He's having a great time.]

You have to go faster to retain balance. But faster is more dangerous, right? Your choice.

[unfriendliest]

If taught well, a good horse can save your life in battle.

[ so... obedience, i guess?? whatever, it works, there's no need to be weird about it.

kara frowns at the throttle... there has to be a way to do this more smoothly, but if hisoka says he should go faster to stay balanced, it's worth trying. slowly, carefully, he ups the speed, the bike jumping forward with every other burst of speed, until he finds it's suddenly not so hard to balance after all?

but then he realizes he has no idea where he's going or how to control this thing now that he's moving. that. could be a problem.

but he's driving it now, so that's something! ]

[wildc4rd]

[Oh good. Finally, Kara is getting somewhere, but may be headed to that somewhere to crash. Shifting, Hisoka takes up his own bike again and starts off after Kara without making any show of it. (Amazing.)

He catches up enough to just cruise along.]

You have to turn, you know. Like a horse. [He swings back and forth across the road with his own.] When it growls, feed it. [He pointedly shifts his foot up to nudge his into a higher gear.]

Then you can go faster...

[unfriendliest]

[ one eye stays on hisoka, taking notes and trying to adjust what he's doing to match. the bike wobbles a bit when he tries to turn, but somehow kara manages to stay upright and even goes a little faster once he straightens out again.

he's not sure if it's any faster than a horse just yet, but it's almost... fun? weird. ]
