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.

What are you making instead, then?

[compendiem]

[ Shess got this one, so Minato's just going to assume Emma will figure it out too:

He puts his palms together, prayer emoji style, and then turns that to lay his hands flat. ]

[foodbin]

...What, cat got your tongue?

[compendiem]

[ He shakes his head, sticks out his tongue demonstratively, and repeats the gesture. ]

[foodbin]

[After a few moments:]

Can you actually not talk, or are you just... doing this for some reason?

[compendiem]

[ Minato makes a victory sign, which could mean anything. ]

[foodbin]

...I don't know what that's supposed to mean in this context.

[compendiem]

[ Minato coughs into the crook of his elbow, then stares pointedly up at Emma. ]

[foodbin]

How did you get sick?

[compendiem]

[ gestures to his leg, gestures to his arms, gestures at his head, shrugs

It's honestly a miracle he didn't get sick earlier. ]

[foodbin]

[After a moment, she glances to whatever he's currently making.]

You're not planning on giving that to anyone else, right?

[compendiem]

...Um.

[foodbin]

I thought you couldn't talk?

[compendiem]

[ He gets out his notebook, like he should've just done from the start, and pens down:

"I made an attempt. For you." ]

[foodbin]

[...]

You know, I won't even question why you've had that this entire time but only now used it as long as you promise not to let anyone else eat what you're making.

[compendiem]

[ ...............he nods his head. begrudgingly, and after a very long moment's consideration. ]

[foodbin]

Thank you. The last thing we need is everyone getting a cold.

[compendiem]

[ Minato nods, and sort of like. scoots away from Emma, just in case she catches his cold. This is why he didn't want to talk!!!! Cold transmission through airborne viruses. ]
