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.

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. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[THERE IS NOTHING GOING ON BETWEEN HIM AND LUNE]

You're certainly welcome to.

[stillstands]

[ SHE WILL GATECRASH THEIR WEDDING RIGHT AT THE POINT THEY ASK IF ANYONE HAS ANY OBJECTIONS!!! ]

... Did you already try and not get anywhere with it?

[nonbelligerent]

I just reminded him that I'm not human and chose not to pursue the subject further.

[stillstands]

...

I'm getting the feeling you know more than you let Lune know.

[ shess.... did you read fifty shades too? ]

[nonbelligerent]

[no!!]

I know how that sounds out of context but trust me that it was easy to figure out what he was thinking based off the conversation up until then.

[stillstands]

[ are... are you sure? ]

...

What kind of conversations do you have with Lune??

[nonbelligerent]

Most are more normal than this.

[mostly they just talk about philosophy tbh]

That one was just because he had certain misconceptions about why Hisoka wanted to fight me.

[stillstands]

...

...

...

...

... ... ...

... ... ... ...

... .... ... ... ... [ She just shivers slightly. ]

[nonbelligerent]

And that's why I chose to move on from the conversation.

[stillstands]

... Axel said a lot of Hisoka's opinions on people he was interested in weren't PG rated.

[ Maybe Lune wasn't incorrect. This is cursed and she hates it. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[...]

Just remember that Lune is hardly an informed source. And disregard Axel.

[stop scarring his partner, axel?? he's not going to mention hisoka's boner.]

[stillstands]

[ Look, she had to deal with the window smashing side effects of Hisoka's Shess!thirst, she's not an idiot. ]

Axel was his partner for, what? Three weeks? I don't think that can be disregarded.

[nonbelligerent]

I think you're too young to be having this discussion.

[stillstands]

[ She just stares at him.

Binch, she was too young for the zombie apocalypse too but that was so eager to get there it smashed all the doors along the way. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[he just gives her an innocent look?]

[stillstands]

[ She's still just?? Staring?? ]

In the grand scheme of everything here, knowing that Hisoka was really, really creepy is probably the least of my worries, especially now he's gone.

[nonbelligerent]

Yes, it's better to look towards the future.

[FORGET ABOUT HISOKA]
