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.

[stop talking to shess??? make your bread????]

Do the other taps mean other people as well?

[compendiem]

[ He needs his hands to talk!!!

Minato nods, but, like. Taps a finger and points out the door. Just so it isn't so confusing. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Do you mean everyone?

[compendiem]

[ He shakes his head and holds up three fingers. Taps the first and points to himself, taps the next two and points to the door. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[the door tells him nothing!!]

Xion?

[compendiem]

[ Why is Xion the door?????

shakes his head ]

[nonbelligerent]

[housemate??]

Ookurikara?

[compendiem]

[ They leave the door open at night because they're both stupid, he doesn't even think of that—-

But Kara's name sure dues make him look over his shoulder at the door, just in case, and Minato moves around the other side of the counter in prime ducking position— just in case— before shaking his head again. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[he smiles a little.]

I think you're still safe. Sol? Akane? Milla?

[compendiem]

[ Oh thank god.

Minato is still and silent for the first two names, and then finally nods at Milla's. The plan is Milla's curry bread, after all. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Okay, so the bread is for Milla. Where does the ice cream come in?

[compendiem]

[ The ice cream is this!! He crosses his index fingers and holds it up in front of his forehead. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[......]

For good luck? Happiness?

[compendiem]

[ slowly... lowers his hands... and gives Shess this look

why is good luck and happiness an X? ]

[nonbelligerent]

[HE'S THROWING OUT RANDOM GUESSES]

Xion?

[compendiem]

[ THAT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE but he already said no to Xion.

but the thought process is there, and Minato crosses his index fingers again, and gives Shess an encouraging nod. Keep going. He's sure Shess will get the next one, if he follows the same train of thought. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Axel? Saix?

[goes through anyone with x in their names??]

[compendiem]

[ That's the thought process he was hoping for, and he stops Shess at Saix, nodding at his name. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Curry bread and ice cream with Milla and Saix? Sounds like a time.

[compendiem]

[ It's a time! But it's also... well, that thing where Minato puts his index fingers side by side and then moves them apart. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Separately?

[compendiem]

[ Yep, that's it! Shess has reclaimed the title of Subdivided's braincell. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[hurray!!

but. also.]

You should hurry before Ookurikara comes back, then. Do you need any help?

[compendiem]

[ Oh shit, how many seconds does he have left before half an hour is over?

He gestures at the flour that's been sitting on the counter not doing anything the whole time. He needs to magically turn this into bread. Please assist. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[oh god shess doesn't know how to make bread either, why don't you have a recipe minato]

I think you also need yeast? And probably sugar and salt too. And water.
