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.

wednesday evening.

[coastal]

[there goes lili!

she might bump into you as she's rushing but she just barely managing to rush out a brief apology as she tries to make her way to the boutique

and from the boutique

you'll hear a scream?????

but inside, there's lili staring at a mirror, lifting her eyepatch off of where there was certainly a wound that left her debilitated weeks earlier - only to find that she can now blink with two perfectly matching, bright blue eyes.

sure, the right one has a pretty gnarly scar over it but.]

What the hell?

rip dana's inbox

[nonbelligerent]

[that sure was lili screaming?]

What's wro—

[—oh. huh.]

[coastal]

[she's just

waving a hand in front of her right eye to confirm that she can see out of it??/ she'll whirl back to shess and point at it - ]

Shess, can you see this?!

[nonbelligerent]

[a slow nod.]

Your right eye?

[coastal]

Yes! I -

[she's just whirling around, back at the mirror, and then shess, more or less going in circles]

What's going on!!

[foodbin]

[Well, upon hearing the sound of a scream, she's running into the boutique absolutely ready to fight—

Before immediately sighing, the tension leaving her body.]

Oh my god, don't scare me like... [A small pause, and then, surprised:] Wait, your eye!

[coastal]

My eye!!

[shE'S LITERALLY JUST PLACING A HAND OVER IT AND AWAY, LIGHT DARK LIGHT DARK, TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON HERE]

You're seeing it too, right?! This isn't just some weird mirage? Phantom sight?!

[foodbin]

Yeah, I see it too!

[And she's smiling.]

Lili, that's amazing!

[coastal]

[hrrrgh she falters for a second because emma looks so.... happy]

... I -

I guess...! But someone went out of their way to do this for me - I didn't ask for it...!

[omegathree]

[Val was in the boutique with a prinny and some cut out fabric pieces.

And then he hears a scream.

He abandons his things and moves towards her.]

Lass?

[coastal]

[she's whiRLING BACK AROUND]

Do you see this - I can see this!!

[SHE'S SO ALARMED SHE'S NOT MAKING SENSE]

[omegathree]

[he's SO CONFUSED??]

Your eye is back??

[coastal]

[SHE'S JUST AS CONFUSED]

I know?!

How - Who...?!

[twinsightful]

[Some dumb bitch is already here and he looks up, listens to her scream, and then looks down at whatever he's doing.]

Oh. Well that's weird.

[Carry on.]

[coastal]

Kaoru, be more alarmed!

[WHY IS HE THIS WAY]

[twinsightful]

You literally had my leg fixed, I'm not sure I can be alarmed by anything anymore. [BECAUSE.]

On the other hand I imagine replacing an eye is much stranger. I assume this just happened? How's your depth perception? [He holds up two fingers.] How many fingers am I holding up?

[I'm sorry, he'll shut up momentarily.]

[coastal]

I - Two!

[shE'S GOING TO ANSWER THAT FIRST]

Is that right? Am I right? Is it working correctly?

[compendiem]

[ uh- ]

What, do you want it gone?

[ is that why she's so upset? what? ]

[coastal]

I - I shouldn't have it!

[she's mostly just incredibly alarmed]

Where's Xion? Does she have hers back?!

[compendiem]

Mmm, dunno. Do not want it, though?

[coastal]

[she holds a hand out]

If you get any closer to me, I'm breaking your leg.

[televised]

[She wanted to yell at her to watch where she's going, but once she hears the scream and catches up with her? The first thing she blurts out is a very eloquent—]

—Oh.

[TWO EYES??]

[coastal]

I know!!

[SHE'S STILL JUST PUSHING HER BANGS ASIDE SO SHE CAN TRY TO GET A LOOK AT? WHAT'S HAPPENING?

WITH BOTH OF HER EYES?]

[televised]

[LOW WHISTLE...]

Judging by your reaction, I assume you weren't expecting this.

[coastal]

Not at all.

[she frowns, looking bothered]

I know that injuries can be healed if you complete a certain task but - isn't this too much...?
