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.

[ ... ]

And then we fly?

[ ...... ]

[coastal]

[ . . . ]

By channeling magic and focusing?

[whitewalls]

Mm...

[ they must look really dumb right now but it's fine.

they're going to do this.

... ]

[coastal]

[they are

but regardless there's a second where lili will try to focus and will herself into the air

and then the next second, she's going to shoot upward like a rocket, followed by her scream

nice]

[whitewalls]

[ oh

there she go........... ]

Lili?

[coastal]

[well

she's up in the air now, namine

clinging onto her broom for dear life




please join her up here she's a little nervous]

[whitewalls]

[ well, she will follow after her, more carefully now that she has witnessed how badly that can go. ]

Lili...

[ it's okay...... she is here now. ]

[coastal]

[lili is still... figuring out her balance on the broom so she's not just whole body clinging onto it]

... e-easy!

[no]

[whitewalls]

You're doing it!

[ the sad part is that she sounds genuinely proud of lili for this. ]

[coastal]

[STOP THAT'S CUTE]

I- I am! And so are you.

We have to proceed now, don't we?

[whitewalls]

Mmhm! We need to go to the castle now.

[ she wonders why they couldn't just walk there but it's fine, at least this is faster. ]

Let's try to stick close to each other.

[coastal]

[sure it's fine]

Right... Um - you can go first.

[lili is trying to figure out how to make her magic not go 100 mph]

[whitewalls]

[ that's problematic

but since naminé has no way of knowing lili's problem, she'll just nod and then start moving ahead. ]

[coastal]

[she

nyooms past

muffled screaming]

[whitewalls]

[ ... mmmm...

maybe they should have shared a broom?

in any case, naminé will dutifully follow after lili, trying her best to catch up to be there when lili inevitably crashes into a wall. ]

[coastal]

[that's

yeah

it's a very near thing - and actually a very abrupt stop that nearly throws lili off her broom entirely, but she's clutching on by the time that naminé comes closer and she

looks for an excuse]

... I thought I saw something important - but it was nothing!

[that's why she went so fast clearly]

[whitewalls]

Oh. Okay.

[ sure.

but naminé will just smile, and then point to an entrance to the castle. ]

Shall we go inside then?

[coastal]

[naminé is an angel.

and lili will just huff quietly before going to fly toward the area....]

Yes...

... we couldn't walk...?

[just wondering]

[whitewalls]

Maybe we're supposed to do it quickly...?

[ she has no idea, she's just trying to think of excuses for why lili was forced upon a broom that will definitely lead to her dying on break week. ]

[coastal]

[yeah in this thread specifically

anyway off lili goes again - she's going swiftly but at least not faster than she can control]

Ah - where did it go...

[whitewalls]

How big are they...? Not small enough that it'll be hard to see, right?

[ keys come in different shapes?? some are swords??? ]

[coastal]

I don't think - oh, over there!

[and she'll see the glint of silver start to head off to the owlery -

though of course in her attention and excitement, she'll suddenly nyoom off in that direction]

[whitewalls]

Lili, please be caref-- there she goes.

[ she sighs and just

follows after her ]

[coastal]

[at least that one was an accident - and lili will turn to namine, having stopped at the end of the hall. abruptly but. stopped!]

It went up!

[whitewalls]

Okay... maybe try to go more slowly?

[ she's getting stressed out watching lili honestly

but she'll start heading up ]
