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.

Oh no. I'm quaking. Anything but that.

[ whatever she does he will deserve for being a smugass bitch right now ]

[foodbin]

Someday you'll learn not to underestimate me.

[A cup of coffee appears on the counter, and she takes a sip of it.]

[leaberator]

Did you make that appear to make your statement more dramatic?

[ he sounds delighted? but ]

I'm not underestimating you. I am truly, deeply frightened.

[foodbin]

Maybe I just wanted coffee. You shouldn't read so much into things.

[So yes, absolutely.]

Good.

[leaberator]

[ he takes a sip of his soda through the straw before stating, dubiously: ]

Uh-huh. [ he believes her entirely? ] Sorry for doubting your total sincerity. You'd never do anything for a bit.

[foodbin]

Look at you. You're learning.

[She takes another sip, before:]

You wanna go explore the rest of the village...?

[leaberator]

I've always been a quick study.

[ don't wiggle your eyebrows at this even as a joke, lea. anyway ]

Sure. You got someplace in mind you wanna see?

[foodbin]

We’ll see about that.

[anyways,]

I think I saw a bookstore...? Maybe after that we can go in the dessert place.

[leaberator]

A bookstore? [ he has no objections considering how much time he spends in the library, but. ] Something you're looking for?

[foodbin]

Not really, but... I don't know, there's a lot of weird stuff in this gateway. It could be interesting to see what kind of books they've got.

[leaberator]

My experiences on the subject say they might potentially be books about magic.

[ potentially. ]

I am kinda curious, though. Lead the way.

[ he says that but offers her his arm??? to be dramatic ]

[foodbin]

I never would have guessed.

[She takes his arm, though she does laugh.]

Cheesy. You ready?

[leaberator]

I remember you saying you liked the cheesy, so that was your tactical mistake. [ :3 ] But yeah, let's go.

[foodbin]

You’re very conveniently forgetting the other half of what I said when I told you that.

[off they gooooo]

[leaberator]

Hmmm... Nope, can't think of what you could possibly mean.

[ off they go arm in arm to the bookstore :) in a pc :) ]
