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.

[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...?!

[omegathree]

[He doesn't lean in, but he does look at the scar and her eye.]

I don't know. Is it working just as before?

[coastal]

I think so...

[she's waving her hand in front of her eye, following its movements. it really feels as good as new]

It's so strange...

[omegathree]

It is. I've never heard of a case where an eye spontaneously regenerated.

[But then again, they've all appeared in an empty universe. Strange seems to be the way of things.]

[coastal]

Neither have I - I know that those two can heal injuries, but isn't this a bit much?!

[shE'S SO CONFUSED]

[omegathree]

Hm... It is a lot. Still, I suppose this is where people say... "be grateful for miracles"?

[coastal]

How can I be grateful when I don't know who did this for me...

[omegathree]

Hm... You could talk to Sol or Lune. They may have an answer to that question.

[coastal]

[ugh]

Those two? I have to have better options than that.

[omegathree]

Do you?

[coastal]

There has to be something...

If I could figure out what they had to do in order to give it to me - ahh, I wonder if someone did something embarrassing recently...

[omegathree]

There's a high chance someone's done something embarrassing, but not necessarily for any reason.

[Minato is still here, after all.]

[coastal]

Last time I completed a task in order to heal an injury, it was pretty embarrassing... but that might've just been Sol being rude to me.

[omegathree]

[He thinks about this.]

I don't think he's ever been rude.

[coastal]

My experiences with people differ.

[omegathree]

They are people. They can run the gamut of politeness to rudeness depending on how you interact with them.

[coastal]

Is it your specialty to say obvious things?

[omegathree]

I think Fenrich would say my specialty is not having the capacity to doubt people.

[coastal]

You should probably work on that.

People have proven that they're very fond of lying here.

[omegathree]

Some of them, yes.

[Shirasu. Hisoka.]

Though for the corrupted, do you count it as lying when they're unaware of themselves?
