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.

[ Something complicated flickers across Four's face as she watches Minato put his head down. She looks almost hurt(?), as if she wasn't just mean to him two seconds ago. ]

... I didn't mean for him to sleep.

[ She shakes her head, and she returns Xion's smile when she faces her. ]

That's sweet of you. I don't usually encourage eating too many sweets, but you looked so excited when ice cream was mentioned.

[ I am pleased and delighted that Four immediately recognized that going to sleep is Minato deciding an argument isn't worth it and just giving up.

anyways, please skip over me until for whatever reason you want to wake Minato up, if ever

Zzzzzzzzzzz ]

[ luckily xion doesn't share any of that guilt (or at least not enough to really register...) because minato taught her Bad Things and also stole some of the cake she'd been looking forward to? but things'll be fine. maybe. probably. it's break week, no one should be dying.

anyway. ]

I... really like ice cream. [ she gives a small laugh, a little embarrassed. ] No matter what flavor it is... it just reminds me of all the good times I've had with my friends. We always used to eat it together whenever we hung out.

[forefall]

So it brings back fond memories. That's sweet.

[ She pauses. ]

It makes seeing some people gather so much ice cream a lot more sense.

[blackcoats]

Huh? Is it a common thing you've noticed?

[ she kind of just thought it was her and her weirdo dairy-obsessed friends who had that ritual... ]

[forefall]

I saw Saix collecting an armful of ice cream the other day.

[ Is that common for him? ]
