week four: mingle

[cyclists]

Week Four
22 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 Sol who speaks up first this time.

"We've been asked to open another gateway for you guys, but...it's funny. It sort of feels like things have calmed down. The corruption's temporarily evened out and the universe is stabilized for now, but that doesn't mean we should stop looking. Take a look and see what you can find on the other side. You might even get to learn something new."

When Sol finishes, they turn to face Lune, allowing for the other to speak for themselves.

"A bit of reprieve of welcome, isn't it? Please take this time to recover, even as you make steps forward to continue your good work. Thank you, thank you."

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 be able to hear each other's thoughts whenever they look at one another! They may not hear every single thought that occurs, but the link will partners to hear thoughts as though their partner is speaking out loud. The more private the thought, the more likely the partner will pick up on it.



Welcome to your week three mingle! As a reminder, this is break week! This means no murders and no trial! Your normal schedule will resume next week. We will still be hosting a laid-back mini-event on Tuesday, however.

In addition, ensure that all of your week three private conversations were reported on the page, and your week four private conversations are reported on that page. If you'll be taking anything from locations, please report that as well.

...

I'm embarrassed, but I'm fine. Really.

[ She ducks down under the table, and after a moment, emerges out the other side holding the book she just casually yeeted. ] This, um. Wasn't what I expected.

[nonbelligerent]

[...

he walks on over to pick up the book from the ground.]

[stillstands]

[ No!!!

She's making a grab for it. She didn't crawl under this table for nothing--!

(She probably did.) ]

[nonbelligerent]

[he picks up the book! and flips through the pages!

...

hm.]

I think you're a little too young for this.

[stillstands]

Yeah, I got that impression a bit of the way in.

[ ugh.

Uggggh. ]

And the writing is terrible. [ Priorities. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[he puts the book down.]

Who recommended this to you?

[stillstands]

[ just let her burn it, shess. ]

Milla. Who was recommended it by Lune.

[nonbelligerent]

[... ah.]

So that's what he meant.

[stillstands]

... Did Lune mention this book?

Milla said it was supposed to be a perfect guide to human romance, but she also seems to have some odd ideas about fictional literature and real life relationships.

[nonbelligerent]

Lune has gotten the same ideas.

[stillstands]

[ ... ]

Has he been saying weird things?

[nonbelligerent]

Don't worry about it.

[stillstands]

[ sHESS. ]

I'm going to. After reading as much as I did.

[nonbelligerent]

He hasn't said anything untoward, if that's what you're thinking.

[stillstands]

... So he said something weird, or stupidly out of context.

[nonbelligerent]

It's just Lune being silly.

[because now that hisoka is DEAD it doesn't matter if lune thought they had sexual tensions.]

[stillstands]

[ PAR-FUCKING-DON??? ]

For all the cryptic, mystical statements he loves spouting at us, he's... ... ... a bit weird, isn't he?

[nonbelligerent]

From a human perspective, most nonhumans probably are.

[stillstands]

Okay, that's... fair. But you've yet to go on about the virtues of erotica within earshot, so not everyone.

[ #NotAllNon-Humans. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[he lets out a silent laugh.]

I understand human relationships better than Lune does, but I imagine I have my own oddities.

[stillstands]

Everyone does. That's not just a non-human thing, you know.

[nonbelligerent]

True. But there are certain things that must seem weird simply due to differences between races.

[stillstands]

Again, I don't think that's entirely unique to non-humans. But that's what makes meeting different people fun.

[nonbelligerent]

I suppose.

But that's why you have things like Lune thinking erotica is representative of human relationships.

[stillstands]

I guess someone should tell him at some point. Otherwise this'll just escalate.

[ And he doesn't deserve you, Shess, she won't allow it. ]
