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 mean in her case, people thought she was the ghost which is fair ]

There's classrooms here, so... is this a school then? Or is it multiple things?

[ He shrugs, because who knows, really. Despite also seeing the classrooms, it doesn't look like a traditional school— or nontraditional school, or school in general. There's suits of armor everywhere and he thinks it might be infested with owls?

He wanders back over to the staircase and leans over the railing so he can look up at the ceiling to spot any birds, without the upper floors getting in the way. ]

[ huh

she'll also look up, except she has no idea what minato is looking for so naminé is just admiring the ceiling. ]

[ The ceiling is very nice. There are owls up there! There are also owl droppings falling from the sky and Minato pulls his head back quickish. ]

[ i flipped a coin for this tag and the coin decided that

naminé is getting pooped on ]

...

[ ...I'm so glad.

Minato stares for a second, and then gives her a thumbs up: "Nice."

Okay, so really, he's trying to convey that getting pooped on by a bird is considered to be good luck by some people, but that's level 2 charades and Naminé's never even gotten past the tutorial. ]

[ ..........

she's just going to quietly go to the classroom to see if there's anything to wipe the poop off ]

[ IT WAS OBJECTIVELY FUNNY so long as he's not the one getting pooped on

Minato tags along behind Naminé in case she misses a spot, and he'll be there to say nothing about it ]

[ minato you bitch

but she finds a tapestry and

whatever. it's now being used as a towel. sorry dumbledore ]

[ omg is Naminé just wiping her face on a tapestry of Dumbledore

Because if there's a face on the tapestry, it moves and lets out a surprised "Oh!"

and Minato lets out a surprised "...!" as he reaches forward to grab Naminé's wrist to pull her away. See!! He told her this place was cursed. ]

[ WHAT THE SHIT

she lets out a startled squeak and lets minato drag her away from it. at least she got most of it off. ]

It talked!

[ Yeah, it did talk, and one tapestry talking sets off all the others, people moving around in the picture frames all over the castle as if they were windows instead of photographs, the chatter starting low and building up and hmm, Minato doesn't really like this.

Cursed.

He holds up his hand, a little drop of lava budding on his palm— just small enough that it cools quickly and rests as just a little pebble in his hand- and turns to Naminé quizzically. He can burn the building down if she wants to? ]

[ give her a moment to try to decipher what this means.

...

and then she shakes her head quickly, hold her other hand out. ]

No, that's fine. There's people in here, remember?

[ they have set fire to too many things already ]

[ ........Minato was ready to doom everybody else in the castle, yeah.

But Naminé holds her hand out so what is he to do but drop the smoldering lava pebble onto the ground so he can take her hand, hoping the rock isn't hot enough to catch anything else on fire after they walk away. ]

Let's find another spot, okay? Away from them.

[ all of the weird moving pictures. ]

[ Minato nods, agreeable, but the moving pictures are everywhere? They won't be able to escape them unless they go outside. ]

[ it's fine they can just keep wandering until they trip and fall down the stairs and die, or get lost in the castle and starve and die. whichever happens first. ]

Have you explored any other area here yet?

[ I'm so tired Francy I need Minato to die in the stupidest way possible, preferably today.

Minato shakes his head, though, because he'd just been hanging out by the lake the entire time until Naminé took him inside. ]

It seems like it's a pretty big gateway area this time...

[ just the castle alone is gigantic, and that's not counting the grounds and everywhere else?? ]

Maybe we can find an actual towel... or sink...

[ there's still some bird poo......... pwease.... ]

[ Oh! Minato knows where to go to wash the bird poo off. He smiles and tugs at Naminé's hand; let him lead the way. ]

Alright, let's go.

[ she will let minato take the lead then. ]

[ Okay! It's a boring walk and it's boring because it's everything they've already seen before, and that's because Minato leads her right back outside to the lake, where she can wash the rest of the bird poop off. ]

[ do you think about how many bathrooms they probably walked right past? because i do. it was probably a lot.

but she is going to nod and use the dirty lake water to wash it out of her hair. this is fine. ]

[ Naminé...

Minato waits until she gets all the poop out. It's like 8AM and I'm exhausted. ]

[ cardori go to bed ]

Okay... all done!
