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.

So you're a mocha kind of guy, huh.

[She shakes her head, though, with a small smile - and reaches across the table to take his hand.]

It's fine, I promise. I mean, I might have to start a brawl if someone starts asking about a refund, but...

[leaberator]

You got me. I want my caffeine intake as dessert-tasting as possible.

[ he squeezes her hand back when she takes it, laughing ]

See, problem is now I'm torn? Because I kinda wanna see you do that. Beat 'em up to make up for all the ones you couldn't.

[foodbin]

Next thing I'll know you'll be shotgunning italian sodas.

[The grin stays, even as she shakes her head.]

Right. Rogue Emma strikes again with her vigilante justice.

[leaberator]

I have no idea what those are.

[ please don't ask me where italy is in kingdom hearts? anyway, he looks at her with the most (fake) serious expression ]

Yes. Take your revenge, Rogue Emma. Show 'em all what a refund really looks like.

[ what does that even Mean ]

[foodbin]

...That is not allowed. Come on, we need to get you one.

[Her going rogue is forgotten, apparently, because she’s standing up.]

[leaberator]

[ um???? he looks bewildered for a second before he shrugs and gets up after her ]

Is it that big of a deal?

[foodbin]

It's like hearing someone has never had cheesecake, or never seen Star Wars. It's just jarring.

[leaberator]

[ ........ hm ]

Then you're definitely not gonna like this. What's "Star Wars"?

[foodbin]

[There's a very overdramatic gasp, here.]

That is also a thing I need to fix.

[leaberator]

[ he's? laughing? ]

That's not telling me anything, you know. [ he grabs her hand to hold it as they walk ] Can I at least know where we're going on this newfound quest?

[foodbin]

It's a movie. Please tell me you know what movies are.

[She takes his hand easily, linking her fingers through his as they approach the counter, and an italian soda just appears out of thin air.]

Well, look at that. Easier than I thought.

[leaberator]

Yeah, I know what movies are. I'd be offended, but I guess that's a serious question around these parts.

[ he's peering at the soda???? ]

... This kinda looks like regular soda?

[foodbin]

Good. I'll ask Lune if he can get us a projector and a DVD player, or something.

[She shakes her head.]

It's strawberry flavored. Try it.

[leaberator]

I don't think Lune knows what those are.

[ like. genuinely. he is rather certain? he picks up the soda curiously before taking a drink and

he laughs halfway through it ]

C'mon, it's just strawberry soda! It doesn't taste any different!

[foodbin]

...I'll ask Sol if he can get us a projector and a DVD player, or something.

[She laughs.]

You have to put half and half in it, and it has whipped cream. Totally different.

[leaberator]

It's soda with cream in it, then! You made it sound like such a big deal!

[foodbin]

Maybe your palate isn't refined enough. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree...

[leaberator]

Oh, my palate's not refined enough? I see how it is.

[ he grabs a bit of whipped cream from his soda and boops it on her nose ]

You're right, this soda is better.

[foodbin]

[She makes a face, even as she rubs it off her nose.]

I will get you back for that someday, mark my words.

[leaberator]

Warn me so I can get you a table ready to climb for your revenge.

[ :3 ]

[foodbin]

[


She reaches over and dips a finger into his drink so she can smear whipped cream on his nose, too.]

[leaberator]

[ first of all he's a whole foot taller than her so he sees it coming. also he sees it coming because he was an asshole? so he stops her before she gets to it by just. eating it off her finger

nom nom ]

[foodbin]

Cheater.

[leaberator]

Oh, absolutely. You should see me at poker.

[ shame???less???? ]

[foodbin]

Well. When you least expect it... Whipped cream. Sleep with one eye open.
